Good morning friends,
Quote of the week:
Technology is advancing at a rapid rate. Today, scientists can store information in a DNA molecule, just like we do with computers, DVDs, and thumb drives. DNA’s capacity to store information, however, is vastly greater than any DVD or thumb drive your company’s IT guy would carry. Harvard researchers were able to cram 700 terabytes of data onto one gram of DNA. That’s 148,936 DVDs of data. – Alan Shlemon

- Christian Apologetics – What Is Christian Apologetics? The word apologetics first appears in the New Testament in 1 Peter 3:15 where the Apostle Peter addressed early Christians in Asia Minor (a Roman province) who were suffering persecution because of their faith in Christ. He writes: But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense (apologia) to anyone who asks you for a reason (logos) for the hope that is within you: yet do it with gentleness and respect (ESV). Within this one verse, Christian apologetics is summarized nicely. Christian apologetics can be summarized in two parts: (a) objective reasons and evidence that Christianity is true (it corresponds to reality) and, (b) the communication of that truth to the world.: https://crossexamined.org/christian-apologetics/
- Days of Noah: What They Don’t Tell You About the Population – YouTube – What was the world really like in the days of Noah? Most people imagine a small, primitive population—but the Bible and ancient clues point to something far bigger, more advanced, and far more sobering. In this video, we explore what Scripture reveals about the population before the flood, how people lived for centuries, and how entire civilizations could have formed long before recorded history as we know it. This is a fascinating video, though full of speculation, it challenges some assumptions you likely have (such as that Methuselah was the longest living person).

- The Shack – CARM – “The Shack” has been a popular book in Christian circles, at least at the time this article was originally written in May of 2008. It is about to be released as a movie starring Sam Worthington. Now, I am not saying we don’t want Hollywood to produce good Christian material. But, sad to say, if Hollywood wants to do something Christian, then we need to be cautious. And, if the movie is anything like the book, then there is reason for concern. The Shack is supposed to be the account of a man who spent a weekend with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit in a shack in a forest. It is a fictional story…: https://carm.org/the-shack

- Devastating Argument against Darwinism | Creation Moments – While the brain weighs only three pounds, it can do the work of 1,000 supercomputers. It doesn’t need to be connected to a power source and it doesn’t overheat because it is able to make its own electricity and it operates on only microvolts of power. If your brain’s 10 trillion cells were placed end to end, they would stretch for over 100,000 miles. Your brain has the capacity to store every word of every book on a bookshelf 500 miles long.: https://creationmoments.com/radio/broadcast-archive/todays-creation-moment/darwins-child-murdered/
