Hi there ... CHECK CREATION SCIENCE OUT!

Hi there ... Creation Chick here .... well ... needless to say ... It's been a long time since I've been online .... I am grateful that people are still following my site and my facebook page ... Thank you for that! It is very encouraging. Well .... I have some things to say ... and I have had a lot of doubts about whether I'm just chasing the wind here ... or if I'm really seeking out some important truths that can help young people understand why God is real .. and why they need to come to Him .... So I just want to be honest about me ... I don't have all the answers ... wish I did ... yah and maybe I have some out-there views on some things... Whether or not you agree with me or not on every little thing is beside the point ... The reality is that I am a born-again Bible believing Christian ... I also happen to believe in Creationism .... and not evolution ... and I think that there is something fundamentally wrong with our society because of evolution .... in our schools ... in our sciences ... in our daily way of life and how we relate to one another .... The reality is that many people think evolution is just harmless ... and that it's just something that men of God don't understand much about so maybe we get all nervous about ideas we don't understand when in reality ... they fit into the Bible perfectly ...... Well, the problem is this ....If there is a guy who is married and talks to an old girlfriend behind his wife's back .... on the surface there is no REAL PROBLEM with this, right? what his wife doesn't know won't hurt her, right? ..... I mean this could go on forever and his wife may never find out ... and as long as the husband does not have any physical relations with this old girlfriend ... than everything is okay right? Just like we Christians can believe anything we want just as long as we also decide to believe the Bible is true and can adjust our beliefs to the Bible, correct? .... Well what if this husband gradually starts criticising his wife about how she looks or about her cooking or anything like that ... because IN HIS MIND ... he is comparing his wife to his old girlfriend .... even if it is even subconscious, right? ... and it could go one of two ways ... there could be so much tension that the wife is experiencing that they divorce ... or the husband and wife could go on perpetually like this forever, making the wife always feel not good enough and unloved lowering her quality of life ... while the husband goes on obliviously, and seemingly harmlessly talking to an "old friend" The point is that there are things that we do that are seemingly okay ... but they have an effect on our lives that we might not even realize .... I'm just likening this to evolution because people do not understand the effect that believing or not believing in evolution has on their lives and their Christian walk. The reality is that I would not be nit-picking if I thought that this evolution/creation battle was not important ... but the reality is that I have studied many many books on the subject and talked to many IT AFFECTS YOU..... IT DOES. And is a wife nit-picking if she asks her husband not to talk to an old girlfriend because it is affecting their marriage? .... Well he might think so .... and that would be sad ... because a wife is a treasure and a gift from God ..... And was God nit-picking when He commanded, "You shall have no other gods before me" ..... People today try to work around that commandment and say ... 'Well ... sports stars aren't really gods', or 'Celebrities aren't really gods', or 'Ecucation and Scientific Progress aren't really gods' .... just like a husband could say that he isn't really doing anything wrong by having a friendship with another woman that just happens to be negatively affecting his marriage with his wife ...... or like a modern-day Christian could say that he or she believes in evolution and it has no effect on his or her faith...... REALLY? Are they really going to take that chance? WHAT IF IT DOES AFFECT FAITH?! Is it worth it? Even if this 'harmless friendship didn't end up ruining the couple's marriage .... it would make everyone miserable in the mean time and destroy everything marriage is supposed to be. Just like if someone believes in something that is contrary to the Bible ... sure maybe the person will survive with their soul intact .... but can they be a good witness if they are subscribed to something that is not of God .... Jesus said ... Matthew 12:30 "He who is not for Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters. (NIV) It's like being on a soccer team and taking the ball and scoring on your own goalie! It's like, 'What are you doing? You scored in the wrong goal!' .... But the devil is a master of deception and he loves to keep us confused about what goal we are aiming at ..... WE ARE AIMING AT JESUS ... and ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN is our GOAL and TO TAKE AS MANY PEOPLE WITH US AS POSSIBLE ... and to BE A GOOD WITNESS and a FAITHFUL SERVANT .... Is our goal to be famous in this world or to make sure that people know that we can argue with them until they conceed that we are more intelligent than they are ... or is it to have people say of us that we are a good person or talented or athletic or TO BE ACCEPTED BY THE CURRENT SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY MEMBERS? .... What we have to remember here is that there is always a place where we will be accepted .... and that is in the arms of our Father in Heaven and our Savior, Jesus Christ. The Bible says ... Genesis 1:1 'In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. (NIV) and the Bible describes the fact that Man NAMED the ANIMALS ... ALL of them .....Genesis 2:1 'So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.' (NIV) There is not room left for evolution in the Bible ... and therefore ... there is no room and no place for evolution in my heart or in my theology either .... If it isn't in the Bible, than it should not be something that I meditate on or believe, ESPECIALLY if the BIBLE EXPRESSLY CONTRADICTS what evolution says, than of course I should not believe it ..... There are a couple of tests to see if something is against God's Word, and EVOLUTION FAILS BOTH OF THESE .... Test number one ..... Does it contradict the Biblical account? As we have just seen, the account of Creation in Genesis contradicts the Way in which man and animals would have come about according to evolution .... Test number two ... Does it affect my faith in God in a negative way? .... Well ... each person is going to have to look into his or her own heart and ask this question .... but one thing we can look at is this nation, this world, and this Christian community as a whole ... has evolution affected our morals as Christians, as a nation, as a world society? .... Every person has their own unique answer to this ... but just as a husband can bicker and argue back and forth with his wife and say that a friendship with another woman DOES NOT affect their marriage .... does arguing and explaining, and offering statistics .... can this 'EVIDENCE' really change the reality of a situation? ... Will the wife suddenly be like ... 'okay, well I thought that I was not being paid attention to ... but no that you EXPLAINED it to me and offered EVIDENCE .... I guess it's not really that bad that you always compare me to this other woman ... and I should really look at it another way ... I should be lucky to have any husband at all, whether he loves me or not. Now I see the light '.... Does deluding yourself into agreeing with something make that thing morally right? .... And Finally .... God created our brains, our hearts, our curiosity, our minds, our system of logic, and our vast abilities to think, create, and discover truths about our universe .... EVERY WORD of the BIBLE is ABSOLUTELY TRUE! and so wouldn't it make sense that if there was a theory out there that was absolutely true aswell, would it not be logical that it would be in complete agreement with the Holy Bible, and also that if there is a theory that has flaws(... ahem ... evolution... cough...) Then it would would be logical that it too would NOT be in agreement with the Bible .... And this is what Creation Science is my friends ... A scientific school of thought that has set out to show the scientific explanations for our universal truths that are in agreement with the Bible and discard the ones that are not in agreement with the Bible ... and at the same time ... in accordance with our belief that the Bible holds absolute and eternal truth, becuase it is the very WORD of the LIVING GOD, we hold that the scientific truths that we find to agree with the Bible also happen to agree with Scientific Fact and Logic aswell ... and that the Scientific ideas that do not agree with the Bible .... will eventuallly be shown to be proven false .... This is Creation Science ... and this is why I love Creation Sceince so much ..... and why I believe everyone should CHECK CREATION SCIENCE OUT!



May God Bless You Abundantly!

New Year 2010!

Many of you do not know this . . .  but I am married . . .  I was married young and I am still the age of many college students . . .  but marriage and living in the real world has taught me more than I ever learned from school.  I really believe that I have a distinct and unique perspective on life in America and the Christian culture here . . . .  because I believe I have been on both sides of the fence . . . in a way.  I have been on the skeptical side of the fence for many years . . .  I have been on the doubting side of the fence . . .  I have been on the moral and "sophisticated" side of the fence . . . or more like 'moral and successful' side . . . . I have been on the side of the street where girls and boys grow up in gangs and with the only they  . . . and even I could seem to get back at the world was to lash out with words . .  or with raw emotional physical destruction . . . . but nothing can ever really take the pain away from not only having no family  . . .  but also growing up in a violent, abusive, and many times life threatening environment . . . . .  and  . . . I have also grown up with the thought that I did not understand why it was so hard to believe in God . . . or wondering what it was even like to have a spiritual renewal experience of my very own.  

Well sometimes things happen . . .  and GOD happens  . . . when you least expect it  . . .  and just like as in the story with the footprints . . .  you suddenly look back  . .  and you are amazed at the wonders God has performed in your life when you didn't even realize it.

AT this time  . . . right after Christmas  . . . and the new year 2010 already begun . . .  I think about all my Atheistic friends . . .  I think about my emotionally torn past . . .  and I think about my parents . . . not even knowing if they are even saved . . . I worry more than anything about whether I can help the people closest to me to learn about Jesus and be saved . . .  I mean who knows? . . .  The second coming could be any day now . . . . and STILL people come to my site just to mock me . . .  Seriously I am more saddened for them than for any personal attacks they make towards me.  Nothing can be worse than Hell . . . nothing . . . .

And at this time . . .  I also have doubts . . . like what am I even doing anymore . . .  where my life is going . . .  so many times I have even asked myself if I am kidding myself about this 'God thing'  knowing that my parents told me themselves they thought I was crazy . . . 

It's weird that the one thing that makes MY life complete . . . is the one thing that separates me from the majority of people on the planet . . .  the majority of whom are not Christians . . . do not take the question of the afterlife seriously, do not think about consequences or purpose to what is going on in their lives at this exact moment  . . .  All they can think about is how their life choices will effect their personal comfort . . .  and THAT is what is accepted in society right now . . . and I'm sure has been accepted for a long long time . . . .

The holidays are very rough on me . . . so I ask that anyone reading this would PLEASE keep me in prayer . . . I am not good at asking this to people face to face right now . . . So I will leave it in God's hands . . . that whoever reads this post and decides to pray for me . . . . I'm sure that is just the right person I need to pray for me . . . .

You see . . .  my marriage to a believing and professing Christian has caused a rift between me and my former friends and family . . .  and it has saved me from an abusive environment . . .  Somehow . . .I believe that whether or not I am able to help close this rift  . .  the least I can do is try to help close the rift between Christians and Atheists here in America and around the world . ..  especially those that I relate to  . . . those who still have the most hope and window of opportunity to come to understand each other . . .  the youth of our generation.

And so I can only pray that someone will reach my own family and friends . ..  but at the moment I cannot . .  and I am not emotionally able to . . .  It has been killing me inside . . . But I'm going to have to leave it in God's hands . .  and perhaps I will help reach someone reach a member of someone else's family that no one else could reach.

The reason I believe so strongly in talking about Creation Science . . .  is because . .  Science is like a god to this world to Secularists and Atheists . . .  and science is something people know to be good and helpful . . .  science is something people can relate to . . .  If we can take this jumping off point and run with it . . .  just like Paul did with the 'unknown god' with the Greeks . ..  perhaps we can reach some people with the truth that has saved us . . . the Saving faith in Jesus Christ our Lord.

I love these quotes . . just added them to my sidebar . . as well

Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me.
-Immanuel Kant

A young man who wishes to remain a sound atheist cannot be too careful of his reading.
-C. S. Lewis

Vanity of science. Knowledge of physical science will not console me for ignorance of morality in time of affliction, but knowledge of morality will always console me for ignorance of physical science.
-Blaise Pascal

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but shall have everlasting life!
- The Bible (John 3:16)

God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
-C. S. Lewis

Christianity is the greatest intellectual system the mind of man has ever touched.
-Francis Schaeffer

A fair result can be obtained only by fully stating and balancing the facts and arguments on both sides of each question; and this is here impossible." - Charles Darwin, 1859,
Introduction to Origin of Species,

We know the truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart.
-Blaise Pascal

All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason.
-Immanuel Kant

What can I know? What ought I to do? What can I hope?
-Immanuel Kant

There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him.
-Blaise Pascal

Thus so wretched is man that he would weary even without any cause for weariness... and so frivolous is he that, though full of a thousand reasons for weariness, the least thing, such as playing billiards or hitting a ball, is sufficient enough to amuse him.
Blaise Pascal

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.
-Blaise Pascal

Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck.
-Immanuel Kant

Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.
-C. S. Lewis

Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.
Immanuel Kant

Nothing is divine but what is agreeable to reason.
Immanuel Kant

Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant

Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them.
Immanuel Kant

So act that your principle of action might safely be made a law for the whole world.
Immanuel Kant

The only objects of practical reason are therefore those of good and evil. For by the former is meant an object necessarily desired according to a principle of reason; by the latter one necessarily shunned, also according to a principle of reason.
-Immanuel Kant
