New Atheist Reason for Dinosaur Extinction: Farting

Popular news headlines purport that British researchers claimed that dinosaurs choked their ancient atmosphere with their own gas. For example, "Dinosaurs 'gassed' themselves into extinction, British scientists say," according to Fox News online. Methane is a greenhouse gas and a natural byproduct of metabolizing plant matter, and many believe that excess methane production could cause catastrophic greenhouse warming on earth. But headlines like these misrepresent two key areas.

First, some of these news reports were simply inaccurate. For example, the British scientists did not say that any dinosaur-made methane caused extinction. In their paper, published in Current Biology, the scientists calculated the estimated volume of methane produced by sauropod dinosaurs They based that on estimates from fossil indications about the number of dinosaurs and how much plant matter they probably ate.

Their study concluded that, because sauropod-produced methane would have rivaled the total methane production from all modern sources, those fascinating long-necked dinosaurs "could potentially have played a significant role in influencing climate through their methane emissions." But "influencing climate" is rather different than "gassing themselves into extinction."

BREAKING - EVOLUTION TO FALL IN 2012?

Proponents of atheistic evolution have been hit with some bad news lately, which has one leading author proclaiming 2012 may be a tough year for Charles Darwin’s theory of human origins.

A Gallup survey, Google.com search trends and some Amazon.com sales numbers all suggest evolution’s ideological opponent, creationism, is on the rise in America.

Last week, for example, the Gallup polling organization released a surveyindicating that the percentage of young-earth creationists in the United States has not only increased in the last two years, but also remains the most common explanation for human origins believed by Americans.

Newly Discovered Human Brain Genes Are Bad News for Evolution

The fact that three newly discovered genes that are completely unique to humans and found in no other known mammal species has been cleverly obfuscated in evolutionary verbiage. Clearly this is yet another major genetic discovery that invalidates human evolution and shows that we are created uniquely "in the image of God" as the book of Genesis teaches.

When Christians Attack! A Portrait of an Apostate

It was well known that Carl Gallups' new book "The Magic Man in the Sky" was going to draw some negative reactions from the secular community. To be sure we've only seen the beginning of that onslaught. It was to be expected, of course, since they are the primary target of the book. The name itself is indicative of the author's intended audience - the atheists.

But it was difficult to imagine the level of vitriol we would experience from the "Christian" community; the extent of which is simply astounding.

Carl Gallups, one of the founders and major contributors to the popular PPSIMMONS Youtube channel which has spread to many other areas online thanks to the recent controversial closing of the channel by Google followed by the reopening thanks to major news outlets picking up the story, has written an outreach to those with an atheist world view. If "Christians" should be able to unite on any topic, this should be it. But alas, those with a "beef" against one PPSIMMONS teaching or another have found their way to the Amazon book site to trash the work of Gallups. One such person hides behind the username "TrustinJC".

He bought the book and wrote a review on the Amazon review page. It was entirely negative. The book is an outreach to the atheist community and this supposed "brother in the Lord" had nothing positive to write about it.

Since the review sections of Amazon double as discussion pages several people engaged this TrustinJC person. He refused to relent. Mike Shoesmith, Social Networking Director for the PPSIMMONS Ministry, got involved and gave the person several opportunities to do the right thing, to no avail. There were two points of conflict in the review. The first was that Gallups had failed to disprove the theory of evolution. The second was that Gallups was promoting the "Once Saved Always Saved" doctrine clearly taught in scripture. Forget the book's other mountains of information which sought to directly reach out to the atheist mind set - this "fellow believer" had nothing good to say.

So we were able to find this person's youtube channel - and what a revelation it was. TrustinJC was an avid evolutionist and staunch legalist. The reason he saw nothing good in "The Magic Man in the Sky" was due to the fact that he had borrowed so much FROM the atheists. In fact the phrase "Christian in name only" would be a perfect description of TrustinJc.

So once again we observed as friends of PPSIMMONS, including Mike Shoesmith under his personal youtube channel prosperousindividual, engaged in conversation with this person - a mission of discovery and fact-finding. We discovered some disturbing trends associated with him.

Firstly we deduced a social dysfunction. He didn't seem at all concerned that he was doing damage to another brother. He saw it as his personal mission from God to expose people he perceived to be false teachers no matter the venue. At first it seemed he may be suffering from aspergers syndrome, a form of low-end autism which is clearly though sometimes not immediately perceptible. As conversations deepened, however, it became more obvious that he was probably not as intellectually advanced as many with the aspergers affliction. In other words he seemed to be nothing more than a simplton looking for affirmation, lashing out at others who oppose that comfortable place he has built in his mind.

People like boundaries. They like to have things all figured out and resist challenges to the dogmas which form that safety zone for them. Sometimes, as is the case with all fanatics who won't rest until everyone agrees with them, they lash out at the opposition. It's no different than the militant homosexual movement really, who won't be satisfied until all levels of society are in agreement with their lifestyle. They even come to Christian venues and throw around words like "homophobe", bigot", etc.

And now it seems the legalists are on board with the same tactics. They separate themselves from other believers in their minds with scathing accusations of "leading people into destruction" and what not. They, like the other militant extremists, find no solace in simply promoting their message and becoming a person who has "Good News" for the world. It becomes an obsession for them to tear others down.


But let's leave the deeper psycho-analysing to the experts and focus on what we know to be true here. We were able to glean a few facts about TrustinJC which reveal the portrait of an apostate - someone who has fallen away from the truth and has embraced lie upon lie even going so far as to borrow tenet structure from the atheist world view. Let's begin with that.

TrustinJC is an evolutionist. His attack directed toward Carl Gallups' book on Amazon was initially focused on his lack of being impressed with Gallups' evidence against evolution. As we researched this person and probed him on his beliefs we quickly discovered that he has joined up with the atheistic model of creation - the one which is completely dependent upon deep time (billions of years) to perform the magical task of turning non-living matter into life and then turning microbes into men. Rather than trusting the historical narrative in the Bible, as most Christians do, TrustinJC has embraced the atheistic fairy tale of evolution. This leads us to the second point.

As we explored the responses on his youtube channel he revealed two things about his thoughts on scripture. He said the Bible is full of contradictions and it is not the only book inspired by God as scripture. This is to be quite expected from the apostate. They attack the sure Word from God because it is the line. It contains the true historical record of God's interaction with humanity past and outlines the future of humanity in stunning detail. It is a major battle ground between the believer and the enemy, Satan. TrustinJC has lost that battle and believes this lie as well. That's two strikes.

There are many problems with the dynamics of TrustinJC's world view. He attacked a cerebral outreach to the atheist community, "The Magic Man in the Sky" by Carl Gallups, while exhibiting grave difficulty with basic use of the English language. It reveals a type of inability to reason respectfully and seemingly resorts to bullying out of a lack of intelligence. However this is also the primary symptom of the apostate. They hate the brothers and attack them from within. It reminds one of a spy movie with the enemy gaining trust through identification with the group and then attempting to sabotage the group's efforts. According to the Bible this is an activity that God despises. And this is the activity of the apostate.


We pondered whether or not we should even mention this person's channel and by doing so drive up his views. But we suspect the majority of people we send there will not approve. And we suspect they will have a few words for this person.

EXPOSED! FRAUD AND DECEPTION! Darwinian Evolution Theory Falling Apart in Academia

Two HUGE Stories out of Baylor University this week have exposed a disturbing trend in the academic world.

Associated Press is reporting that colleges have spent billions on financial aid for high-scoring students who don't actually need the money, motivated at least partly by the quest for rankings glory.

It was a college, Baylor University, that paid students it had already accepted to retake the SAT exam in a transparent ploy to boost the average scores it could report. It's colleges that have awarded bonuses to presidents who lift their school a few slots.

And it's colleges that occasionally get caught in the kind of cheating you might expect in sports or on Wall Street, but which seems especially ignominious coming from professional educators.

The latest example came last week at Claremont McKenna, a highly regarded California liberal arts college where a senior administrator resigned after acknowledging he falsified college entrance exam scores for years to rankings publications such as US News.

Even though Baylor has been caught up in this there are glimmers of truth coming out of that particular University, perhaps not coincidentally. This week The Institute for Creation Research is reporting that in a recent paper titled "Dissecting Darwinism," Baylor University Medical Center surgeon Joseph Kuhn described serious problems with Darwinian evolution. He first described how life could not possibly have come from chemicals alone, since the information residing in DNA required an input from outside of nature.

He then addressed Darwinism's inability to account for the all-or-nothing structure of cellular systems, including the human body. As a medical doctor, Kuhn not only knows the general arrangement of the human body's visible parts, he also understands the interrelated biochemical systems that sustain and regulate all of those parts. He recognized that the human body contains an all-or-nothing system in which its core parts and biochemicals must exist all at once for the body to function.

Biochemist Michael Behe named these all-or-nothing systems "irreducibly complex." Removing a single core part from one of these systems keeps the entire system from working, and this implies that the system was initially built with all of its parts intact.

This is exactly what researchers expect to see if God purposely created living systems, rather than if natural processes accidentally built living systems bit-by-bit—as Darwinian philosophy maintains.

Kuhn cited the work of another medical doctor, Geoffrey Simmons, who described 17 "all or nothing" human body systems. These combine with many others to form the entire human body—a system of systems—that is irreducible at many levels, from gross anatomy to biochemistry. For example, just as a woman would die without her heart, she would also die without the vital blood biochemical hemoglobin.

But even an intact heart and hemoglobin need regulation. A heart that beats too fast or too slow can be just as lethal as having no heart, and a body that produces too much or too little hemoglobin can be equally unhealthy. Thus, the systems that regulate heartbeats and hemoglobin must also have been present from the beginning.

Kuhn wrote that "virtually every aspect of human physiology has regulatory elements, feedback loops, and developmental components that require thousands of interacting genes leading to specified protein expression." Thus, "the human body represents an irreducibly complex system on a cellular and an organ/system basis."

Evolution has no proven explanations for the origin of just one irreducibly complex system, let alone the interdependent web of irreducible systems that comprise the human body.

Could the human body have evolved? According to Kuhn, to change another creature into a human "would require far more than could be expected from random mutation and natural selection." However, a wonderfully constructed human body is exactly what an all-wise Creator would make, and He promised that those who trust in Him will one day inherit new bodies "that fadeth not away."
