THE OTHER SIDE TAKES IT IN THE SHORTS

There’s been a lot of bad news lately for the anti-God crowd. Woo hoo! To wit:

-- World-famous atheist Antony Flew, at age 81, suddenly reversed a lifetime of assertion that there is no God to conclude that, well, on second thought, after all . . . there is. The British philosopher has written and spoken atheistic dogma for more than 50 years, especially about how life began. Now he says, ‘’It has become inordinately difficult even to begin to think about constituting a naturalistic theory of the evolution of that first reproducing organism.’’ No! Duh! Great ammo to attack ‘’evolution only’’ dogma and censorship in science classrooms.

-- Along the same lines, an article that asserts that evolution can’t possibly have originated all the new biological forms in the Cambrian Explosion recorded in the fossils passed peer review and was published in a science journal, Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington. The article presented the theory of intelligent design as an alternative to evolutionary theory. All hell broke loose, excuse the expression, and the evolutionists now want intelligent design banned from science journals. They don’t want to debate evolution; they just want to censor all the evidence that shows it can’t be so, and keep people from spreading the word that everything is so wonderfully complex, there has to have been a supernatural origin to all of life. Is there any place in science for censorship? Methinks nada. Hey! If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!

-- A Korean woman paralyzed for 20 years is now able to walk, thanks to a treatment derived from adult stem cells collected from umbilical cord blood. That’s so far beyond any practical applications from embryonic stem cells, or those from aborted babies, that it debunks the glassy-eyed drive for big bucks for embryonic stem cells, such as the big wad of taxpayer cash voted for it in California recently. They’ll rue the day, all right. Stem cells from umbilical cords. fat and other body parts are absolutely ethical for medical research and treatment, and A-OK by God. Meanwhile, creating itty bitty humans and destroying them are obviously not, and haven’t done squat to truly advance medicine the way adult stem cells have. This development ought to shut up the other side, and it’s about time.

Prayer request: Maddy ‘’frow’ed up’’ over the weekend and has been feeling mildly flu-y for the past week. She’s better today. Thank You, God! I call upon Your promises now and pray a for hedge of protection around my loved ones to keep sickness away so that we can enjoy Christmas to the max. (Psalm 50:15)
