After such a long breeak it's hard to get back to the blog. I was hoping to get ore involved in the creationism issues but even havibn g a very inspiring poidcast to listen to isn't the connection I think I need with the people involved in those issues. The Lord seems to encourage this line of thought but I don't know what to do with it yet. Just keep praying about it of course.
Haven't had much to say about the political scene lately but now it looks like we might be getting involved in the war with Israel against Iran, judging by Trump's warning to people to get out of Tehran earlier this evening. As he keeps saying it's too bad Iran wouldn't come to the table and work out a deal but they wouldn't. Israel Hhas done a ot toward defanging their nuclear capabiitya which is the opbjection ive of the US as well as Isreal, but there's apparently more to do. The whole thing is very nervous making but then Iran's having the bomb is the most nervous making of all so it's clear it had to come to this. Iran with a nuclear bomgb capability is unthinkable.\\
Then the usual crazy stuff with the proprotests in California against Trump for doing his job of calling in the national guard to protect federal property. Calling him a King? That's laughable. But their whole mindset is almost as scary as Iran's havin gthe bomb.
Back to the creationism podcast for a moment. The latest show aired early on Monday, part two of a three part series they are doing on the aftermath of the Flood, thre first one being about the effets of the tectonic violence durin gthe Flood, which brought about the volcanoes and earthqyakes we still experience, this second one beingh about the animals on the ark and their relation to the Created Kids. And how we got our modern species from those.
I often find myself disagreeing with thos or that jtheory of the creationists and of course the thouyght immediately follows Who am I to have a disagreement with scientiests anyway? Well, I'm nobody but I do and oh well. Anyway, the mai didea about the tectonic movement that is apparently current with tin Creaitonism ingeneral is that it began at the beginning of the Flood, in fact brought it about. As I poindered that idea it just seemed wrong tooo me. Too much acitvitiy for the laying down of the strata to have survived as well as they did during the fllod, there being clear signs that it all survived pretty much instanct as the Geological Column, and that it was only after the Flood that the disturbances occured that broke it up, twisted it and so on. That is clear on the cross section of the Greand Staircase area I like so much.
jOn the subject of the Created Kinds I've had problems there too and i that case I haven't given it anywhere near the thought I've given to the strata but I did spend some time on it. It seems to me the Creationists find too many Kinds. Where I find all BIrds to be a Kind, though I do have some doubts there I still need to unravel, they find many. In this episode they focused on the camel and the fact that it can hybridize with the llama, which was an interesting piece of infofmration since I haven't been up on those animals. If animals can hyridize, that is, have offspirring together, that should mean they belong to the same Kind. Makes sense. But then they find that it was a camel that was taken onto the ark, not a camellama as it were, and that leads them to think there was in fact be two separate kinds here, camel and llama. ThAT'S BECAUSE YOU COULD GET A CAMEL AND A LLAMA FROM A CAMELLAMA AFTER THE ARK LANDED, BUT IF THE TWO DIFFERENT ANIMALS WERE ON THE ARK THAT CHANGES THE PICTURE OF WHAT THE ORIGINAL kIND WAS.
i THINK i GOT THAT RIGHT BUT i MAY HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT AGAIN TO BE SURE. mY ANSSEER WOULD BE THAT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT nOAH TOOK A NUMBER OF SPECIES OF SOE kINDS ONTO THE ARK, ALL MEMBERS OF THE ORIGINAL kIND BUT SO DIFFERENTIATED OVER THE PREVIOUS FIFTEEN HUNDRED YEARS THAT THEY HAD SHARPLY EOUGH CHARACTEREA DEFINED CHARACTERISTICS OF THEIR OWN TO WARRANT BEING TREATED AS KINDS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. tHE DOVE AND THE RAVEN i WULD SAY MUST HAVE COME FROM THE ORIGINAL bIRD kIND BUT THEY WERE BOTH REPRESENTED ON THE ARK. iu THINK THAT'S WHAT WAS THE CASE WITH THE CAMEL AND THE ALLLAMA. aND PROBABLY OTHERSMK, THOUGH i'M NOT UP TO GUESSING WHICH AT THE MOMENT.
Oh drat I just notice the caps lock light was on, I have no idea HOW LONG. oH, SORRY. Oh there ist hgoes again. Wow I keep hittin git.
Anyway. In other news, I'm listening again to ndrew Muray's Divine Healing. I never thoughts I could be persuaded of that but the more I listen the more convinced I am that the Lord would heal us as a part of our redemption if we believed. Belif is always the requriement. Hard to ddrum up believe of course.
Very messy post I'm afraid. I try tso hard to disciplune my fingers but they seem to have their own ideas about what they want to type.
