The Unscientific Root of Atheism(Altamont, Tennessee, USA) A local author claims that intelligent design is a required element in any origin of life hypothesis. In his just published book, The Blind Atheist, Raymond Hendrix points out the difference between scientific possibility and the impossibility of the information-based machinery of life evolving according to the laws of physics. The controversy boils down to the difference between patterns and order in nature and information. Hendrix, whose life experience ranges from the navigation of submarines to commercial pilot, seems to have discovered a fatal flaw in all abiogenesis (the field of science dealing...

The Unforgiven When Jesus visited this earth about two thousand years ago he was confronted with evil, wicked and sinful people of every sort. Contrary to what some have been led to believe, he did not forgive all of them. There seemed to be a definite division between the unforgiven and those whom Jesus chose to forgive. In today’s culture things have not changed much. Good and decent people are again confronted with an evil world and we are again faced with the problem of who to forgive and who to leave alone on whatever path they have chosen. Some...

PALESTINE PLANS "GIANT SUICIDE BOMB" The Palestinian leadership announced today that it would be stepping up its campaign of suicide attacks by configuring the entire state of Palestine as "one bloody great enormous bomb". The plan is seen as a last ditch attempt by the Palestinians to bring peace and stability to the region, as well a quelling its own dissenters, by "utterly destroying them all, as well our Israeli neighbours". Peace (artist's impression) he plan, which is expected to bring peace "very suddenly" to the area, comes on the heels of recent increased activity by suicide bombers within...

I have been listening to him off and on over the years and generally take his opinions with a grain of salt but he certainly makes some sense when it comes to the Oaklahoma City bombing and the connection with 9/11 and terrorism, both foreign and domestic. Does anyone have some information on this guy, and is there some documentation to refute his claims? He supplies plenty to support his views.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (June 11, 2002 2:15 p.m. EDT) - A U.N. war crimes tribunal has rejected as unfounded the refusal by an American journalist to testify about an interview with a suspected war criminal that was published in The Washington Post newspaper. The decision announced late Monday could set a precedent for journalists called to testify before international courts. It is the first time a journalist objected to giving evidence at the Yugoslav tribunal, established in 1993 by the United Nations to try Balkan war crimes suspects. A panel of three U.N. judges dismissed the motion on behalf...

Startled marines find Afghan men all made up to see them Chris Stephen In Bagram BRITISH marines returning from an operation deep in the Afghan mountains spoke last night of an alarming new threat - being propositioned by swarms of gay local farmers. An Arbroath marine, James Fletcher, said: "They were more terrifying than the al-Qaeda. One bloke who had painted toenails was offering to paint ours. They go about hand in hand, mincing around the village." While the marines failed to find any al-Qaeda during the seven-day Operation Condor, they were propositioned by dozens of men in villages the...

...DNA is formed by a series of chemical reactions. Unlike some chemicals that breakdown when life ceases or like some paint that breaks down when it freezes, DNA generally retains its shape and information. The famous Neanderthal man was examined and the scraps of DNA that remained in long dead bone was also examined. DNA is not a living thing like a cell or an internal organ. It is like a chemical ladder that forms itself according to laws just like the snow flake does. A rock for instance forms according to law and lasts for thousands of years. In ...

SEATTLE -- Bouquets, cards, e-mails and calls poured into a hospital as Seattle residents tried to make amends to a suicidal woman who leaped off a bridge as motorists cursed her and yelled at her to jump. The 26-year-old was listed in serious condition with a spinal fracture and chest and abdominal injuries but was expected to recover fully. "In a small way, they're trying to say that Seattle would like to define itself in a more positive way," said Patrick Tefft, a Harborview Medical Center employee in the volunteer office. The woman, whose name has not been released, jumped ...

Iraq says it has shot down a US reconnaissance aircraft flying over the south of the country. The Iraqi News Agency (INA) said the plane was equipped with "high-tech equipment", and was brought down near the southern city of Basra, 550 kilometres (340 miles) south of the capital, Baghdad.

Iraq claims that it will show the crashed drone aircraft on TV shortly. This aircaft was on routine patrol in the no-fly-zone. America's Other Jesus

Democratic Party: The Slave Party Whatever the Democratic party was in its early history it became the political party that advocated slavery once it was firmly intrenched in American culture. When Lincoln debated Douglas just prior to the Civil War the focus was largely on the issue of slavery and the differing views of the two major parties. Lincoln consistently argued for the eventual freedom of the slaves while Douglas was at best indifferent on the issue. Lincoln essentially destroyed Douglas in the debates because Lincoln was able to reduce the issue to one of morality. Lincoln cleared the way ...

MTV apologizes after teens sue SANTA MONICA (AP) -- MTV apologized Thursday to two 14-year-old girls who said they were splattered with feces when an act defecated on stage during a taping of the music channel's "Dude, This Sucks" show. "This is a terrible incident. It was unintended and we regret that it happened," Brian Graden, the cable channel's president for programming, said in a statement. He added that the episode would never be aired and that he had taken steps to see that such an event never happens again. "We are sorry if these women were hurt. It is ...

By Jon Dougherty © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com The "clipping" in midair of a U.S. Navy EP-3E Aries II surveillance plane and its resultant landing at a Chinese electronic surveillance airbase was a "well-laid electronic ambush" engineered by Beijing, according to intelligence sources. DEBKA-Net-Weekly, a Mideast and regional intelligence newsletter, says Chinese sources have informed analysts that "the operation -- in addition to netting Beijing a sensational intelligence technology scoop -- satisfied a thirst for vengeance" over a series of U.S. "affronts." Specifically, the report said, "China … chose its moment for exacting retribution for what it regarded as a series of ...

OH SAY CAN YOU SEE? Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldst make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD. I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. (Jeremiah 22,49) The United States of America is a kingdom weighed in the balances of God, and it is found wanting. God has numbered this kingdom and finished it. (Dan. 5:26,27) We, ...

This will be the big test for president Bush as far as I am concerned. Facing a falling economy, which is partly dependant on Chinese trade and the usual accusations of bowing to corporate influence on political decisions the president is now going to have to decide whether to turn away the Chinese ships that are loaded with cheap goods. I am not sure how much stuff in Wallmart, for instance, is produced in China but I would say that a sudden cut off of imports from China would hurt them quite a bit. When and if the president gives ...
