Preamble
There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one. (Charles Darwin: 1809-1882)
Many people believe Charles Darwin opposed the Bible account of Creation and set out to demonstrate a humanist explanation to the natural world. It was not the case. Darwin would rather have left his ideas to his equals for sober debate and comment, but it instead ignited the minds of the curious and stirred the imaginings of the ill-informed. The Darwinian hypothesis has done nothing but create a legacy of speculation, conflict, and doubt. Typically ignored is the fact; Charles Darwin acknowledged the Creator as the sole means of life on Earth.
It was society at large and academia, who suggested the work confirmed that evolution had replaced God and that the apes had somehow ousted both church and presbyter. However, closer study will reveal that Darwin merely proposes that there is a species of man derived from an ape ancestor.
Unfortunately both church and lay persons were thrown into confusion. Because some few scientific men of undoubted ability, and opposed to the Biblical truths, supported the Darwinist theory, the general impression was that all scientific men thought the same. The fact Darwin supported the writing in the Pentateuch was ignored. The Church remained dumbstruck and gave no lead, oblivious to its own birthright. (Walkley: God and Man, or Man and Ape: Ensign 2009)
With superior expertise, legitimate science has exceeded Darwin’s knowledge of biochemistry, and met his own criteria by which his assumption founders… If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down. (Darwin: The Origin of Species: Chapter 6, Difficulties on Theory: p. 124) The discoveries of DNA and RNA protein confluence; co-dependence and properties of proteins, amino acids and carbohydrates, more than supplant what was known at the time of Darwin’s premise; we will look at the convolution of the human eye shortly.
There are two sides to this question of being. Either life was caused by external intelligent design, or it came into existence by accident. As unprompted creation implies something from nothing, or life from non-life, such a thought would seem untenable to most. Yet, implausible as it is; the academic world holds spontaneous generation as the founding principle of all living things; any idea opposing this agreed standard, the fantasies of the ignorant.
One has only to contemplate the magnitude of this task to concede that the spontaneous generation of a living organism is impossible. Yet, here we are as a result, I believe, of spontaneous generation. (Nobel Prize winner, Dr. George Wald; Harvard University, 1967)
While, Harvard’s motto may not mean the actual truth; the thought all living things simply appeared as a quirk of nature, is not only impossible, it is nonsense. Although there is sufficient evidence to answer the evolution hypothesis, the worldview continues to adhere to an assumption and syllabus, which anchors how most people consider their origin. When it comes to the substance of truth, the only VERITAS is the Lord Jesus Christ; not the doctrines of those, who in vanity have raised themselves above His work of foundation (Gen 1:1; Jn 1:1-3; Mar 10:6) and constructed an absurd monolith of such dimension, it overshadows the light of reason. It is the greatest deception ever conceived.
Cells
While we still don’t know how gravity works, we do know randomness cannot exist, even though we will not yet publicly admit it. But, we do know how cells are created. To survive all living organisms need biological structures; organelles or membranes, within them are water soluble or intra-cellular components. Without a membranous casing, any proteins would cause the organism to collapse. So, to survive a living organism must to some extent, be self-contained. If any amino acids present were to align, it will not become alive as any water-soluble components will dissipate without a casing.
All living organisms need nourishment and directional momentum. As randomness would not have created the biological structure known as a DNA-containing nucleus, the cell would die. Even if it had some type of nucleus to provide direction, the nucleus would need to have come into existence with the ability to determine how to find food, and what type of food to consume. Without an imprinted set of instructions, it will fail. Even if a so-called, spontaneous cell had these things, including concurrently generated protein(s) and DNA, it would still die. It could not generate a digestive system in order to make use of food as it has no code or nucleus containing instructions to do so.
The nucleus is the part of a cell that contains DNA and instructional coding. Assuming our cell is in the right medium and happens upon an ideal food, it will die because it was not formed with the ability to digest. Therefore, it will not be able to utilize any food it may discover, assuming it has the means to identify such a discovery as food. As a result, going beyond this step is not possible. Our primitive cell would die as it would not have instruction (coding) for it to have generated an ability to reproduce, nor would it have innate cleverness to do so.
There is no data extant that a cell has spontaneously generated, anywhere, at anytime.
But, if we concede a random, primitive biological form coming into existence, containing a nucleus and including the ability to digest and reproduce, it will still fail. It would need to be generated with instructions how to reproduce, the ability to do so, and code to carry it out. Spontaneous generation as the origin of life is just not possible. …life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one as attested by Darwin, is the only explanation that has any sense of rationally, probability or is scientifically feasible. For by Him were all things created… visible and invisible. (Col 1:16)
When we look at the more complex structures of DNA and proteins, we find the same rules that govern fundamental cellular structure; inter-dependence and coding. Proteins cannot survive without DNA, and DNA cannot exist without proteins. Proteins cannot independently reproduce; they need DNA. DNA can do nothing of itself, without proteins. (Understanding the RNAissance. c. 2003: Pietzsch) They need to exist as one, therefore rendering the suggestion of spontaneous generation unworkable. Accordingly, as life cannot arbitrarily spring forth, eat, grow, and reproduce without the code to do so; what could have caused it to begin?
Everything we have looked at here is invisible to the human eye, yet they are the building blocks of all life. The human is the most complex machine on earth and has shaped, not only his environment, but also it seems his destiny. It appears there is nothing we cannot achieve if we set our mind to it. We are by nature inquisitive beings, continually searching for answers to quantify all that is known and reveal what is not. This is why we know so much about our biology, but we don’t know it all. Many scientists will tell you we have only scratched the surface. If this is the case, if we don’t know it all, it would seem logical not to establish theory as truth. So far, man’s beginning in the context of evolution is not fact but speculation; in other words… a guess.
The Natural Science community has sought to persuade us that the Earth is millions of years old; its flora, fauna and biota, having evolved and adapted at the mercy of its surroundings through a series of progressions, from a single spontaneous cell.
The conventional view to the beginnings of man holds that after his cellular genesis in an elemental slime, he formed fins, gills and a tail; divided male and female, and then lived in the sea. Later by his own determination, having fashioned air-breathing lungs, he grew legs, arms, skin and hair; developed perfect land based vision and hearing, discarded his saltwater kit and learned to walk upright. Over millennia, this bipedal primate taught himself to make tools; to subdue his environs, to speak, to write, and to establish laws and rules of society; his ultimate achievement the concept of a supreme being that created him. To detect any problems that might exist with this idea, let’s look at just one part of the superb design that is our human body.
The human eye
There is no fossil or similar evidence showing a progressive development of eye design in human, or in any other species. Experts agree many problems exist concerning its supposed evolution; chief among them explaining how each part of the vision system; the lens, eyeball, retina and the occipital lobes of the brain has managed to evolve in unison. Due to its complex nature, the eye has always been difficult for evolutionists; many theories have been advanced, all have proven problematic.
The obstacle is progression; as it involves intermediary stages that would be inferior during change, making such a sequence unsafe to any creature dependent on sight. Every component required for vision including vital brain function, must activate at the same time for vision to work, any defective component would be detrimental to its overall function as an effective unit. In other words, we would be blinded from time to time. How each component has evolved simultaneously cannot be explained.
Physiologist, Scott Turner commented; the real miracle of vision lays not so much in the optical eye, but in the computational process that produces vision. (The Tinker’s Accomplice: How Design Emerges from Life Itself; Harvard Press 2007) This being the case, the overall operation of the eye is a lot more intricate than we might think, as the realization of vision happens in the brain. On the other hand, while its workings are acknowledged as miraculous, its origin continues to be discounted.
The eye lens is exquisitely well designed to do its job and the engineering rationale for the details is unmistakable, but no designer ever articulated it. (Dennett: Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon, Viking, 2006) So, with the human eye we encounter the same opinion resident in the life debate, any other possibility put aside.
If spontaneous generation is problematic, if DNA and RNA protein inter-reliance and the eye are problematic, what can be said of smell, touch, taste and hearing; let alone our higher functions of perception and reasoning? The cell and the eye are but two examples of the complexity of the human body, which leaves us two possibilities. Either science has not yet discovered the correct mechanisms of the man’s evolution, or we have not evolved as claimed. And, in case you are thinking of a third option, there’s no evidence the Earth was seeded by extraterrestrials. Although strange as it may seem, it is closer to reality than the presumption of evolution ever was.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. (Rom 1:22-23)
To add to the confusion, many obvious frauds have been perpetrated since Darwin’s seminal work, which must be a source of great embarrassment to the scientific community. It has certainly caused a growing and warranted scepticism. With the intention of duping the common man, we have seen a grand parade of trickery; Earnst Haeckel’s embryos, Piltdown man, Nebraska man reconstructed from the tooth of a pig, and Java man from an ape skull and human thighbone.
There are also numerous examples and attempts to alter the fossils of dinosaurs, birds and plants. The recent dinosaur-bird ‘fossil,’ Archaeoraptor; the result of an Asian man gluing a few old bones together to earn a few tourist dollars, made its way into National Geographic Magazine in 1999. Only when the truth came out did they retract their “factual” story, and apologise to their readers.
Terrible lizards
Having taken a brief look at spontaneous generation and cells, let’s now look at something slightly bigger; a T. Rex and a Hadrosaur. The word, dinosaur was coined in 1841 by English palaeontologist and biologist, Sir Richard Owen. While dinosaur means terrible lizard a more accurate rendition is terrible reptile, as dinosaurs weren’t lizards. They didn’t die out 65 million years ago as maintained, and like the mammoth, some were still around when cuneiform writing was first cut into plastic clay.
Behold now, behemoth…; He eateth grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the muscles of his belly. He moveth his tail like a cedar: The sinews of his thighs are knit together. His bones are as tubes of brass; His limbs are like bars of iron. He is the first of the ways of God: He only that made him giveth him his power. (Job: 40:15-19)
Despite the opinions of many of today’s scientists, Genesis, Job, and Daniel each contradict evolution theory. (Genesis 1 v. 24-5) The last terrible lizard to walk the earth did so fairly recently; it certainly appears they were around when Job was written c. 1,500BC. So, let’s discover what a couple of rather special dinosaurs have told us about our world.
Hell Creek
Ever since Mary Schweitzer peeked inside the fractured thighbone of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, the introverted scientist’s life hasn’t been the same. Neither has the field of palaeontology. Two years ago, (2004) Schweitzer gazed through a microscope in her laboratory at North Carolina State University and saw lifelike tissue that had no business inhabiting a fossilized dinosaur skeleton: fibrous matrix, stretchy like a wet scab on human skin; what appeared to be supple bone cells, their three-dimensional shapes intact; and translucent blood vessels that looked as if they could have come straight from an ostrich at the zoo.
By all the rules of palaeontology, such traces of life should have long since drained from the bones. It’s a matter of faith among scientists that soft tissue can survive at most for a few tens of thousands of years, not the 65 million since T. rex walked what’s now the Hell Creek Formation in Montana. But Schweitzer tends to ignore such dogma. She just looks and wonders pokes and prods, following her scientific curiosity. That has allowed her to see things other palaeontologists have missed, and potentially to shatter fundamental assumptions about how much we can learn from the past. (Discover Magazine; April 29, 2006)
Another sample containing soft tissues was found in a Hadrosaur, also from Montana.
In her study, Mary Schweitzer was able to determine exact amino acid sequences because the proteins were in such good condition, even with a supposed age of 80 million years. She found all of the primary proteins of a common connective tissue called the basement membrane matrix, as well as blood cells inside blood vessels similar to what she found earlier in the t. rex bones. The hadrosaur yielded two types of collagen, which are tough, elastic, self-weaving protein fibers that, among other things, give skin and bones their lightweight strength. The protein fibers elastin and laminin were also found in the basement membrane material. Though resilient, collagen fibers have been observed in laboratory settings to decay within a matter of weeks.
Studies show that collagen should be unrecognizable after 30,000 years, a figure that is only 0.0375 percent of the standard age assigned to the hadrosaur. Most remarkable in this sample, as well as in the t. rex discoveries, was the presence of blood vessels and blood components, such as haemoglobin. This protein decays even faster than collagen, so its presence inside a dinosaur carcass clearly shows that the dinosaurs cannot possibly be as old as evolutionary scientists claim.
Some have suggested that the soft tissues were made by bacteria, though this does not fit the observed data. In their recent study, Mary Schweitzer’s team confirmed the presence of an amino acid called hydroxyproline, which is a component of vertebrate collagen and which bacteria do not manufacture. Other scientists have maintained that perhaps Schweitzer’s techniques were to blame for these anomalous discoveries. To answer this, Schweitzer had these tissues and proteins extracted and characterized by, a second set of experiments, conducted in a separate lab. (Brian Thomas, icr.org, May 2009)
In her paper on the Hadrosaur she wrote: The most parsimonious explanation, thus far unfalsified, is that original molecules persist in some Cretaceous dinosaur fossils. (Schweitzer, M. H. et al. 2009. Bio-molecular Characterization and Protein Sequences of the Campanian Hadrosaur B. Canadensis; Science, 324 (5927): 626-631.)
Schweitzer and her associates have taken every precaution to candidly verify their tests and analysis. These soft tissues exist and they are from the dinosaurs in question. That the establishment has set out to discredit these discoveries and harm her reputation, serves only to confirm Mary Schweitzer is on to something important.
For the presence of blood vessels and their proteins to still exist in these finds can only be explained by recent and rapid preservation; the dinosaurs in question were submersed and preserved in a global event that happened not that long ago. It demands an answer to what we have been told about the age of dinosaurs, and the time of their extinction. Scientists need to come to terms with this evidence, not only in front of them, but right under their noses!
At the time of her T-Rex discovery, Mary Schweitzer commented on the remains from Hell Creek having the odour of decay. She mentioned this to another palaeontologist who had worked on this, and other sites in the area for many years, and was informed; …hell, all Hell Creek bones smell. With the smell of decomposition all around them, they hadn’t considered there might have been a problem with not only the assumed date of extinction, but the way in which these reptiles unexpectedly died. When it comes to known facts about putrefaction one thing is certain; no animal allegedly buried for 65 million years smells of decay. There would be no odour producing material remaining.
If we assume Mary Schweitzer is correct in her findings, we can take for granted she is also correct in her observation shared by fellow scientist, Brian Thomas that dinosaurs and all living things on the Earth died suddenly. If so, is there any evidence of a worldwide catastrophe of the scale required to quickly overwhelm and preserve all plant and animal life?
The Earth records several major events, which have visibly affected the planet and its bio-network. There have been meteor impacts; numerous earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions, and while some have left worldwide evidence for example, ash layers in sedimentary rock, the affected areas are confined and in many cases visible. With the exception of the Flood in the time of Noah (c. 2,305BC) there has been nothing recorded in any narrative of the extent, energy and velocity, to cause the required level of planetary upheaval to engulf all living things. As the Great Flood is a comparatively recent event, what does that say about evolution theory, the epoch of man, the age of the Earth, but most importantly the Holy Bible?
Since her find in 2004, Mary Schweitzer has been poorly treated by much of the scientific community. Some attacks have been very personal; others bringing into question her motives citing her Christian faith. The problem is, she has caused uncertainty in the evolution paradigm and true believers don’t like it one bit. But, she is not alone in her views. A growing number are looking anew at the evidence. However, like any on such a path they are meeting understandable resistance. If you can get hold of Ben Stein’s DVD, Expelled it is a good example of how entrenched the accepted view actually is.
The bone of contention for evolutionists is Mary Schweitzer and her team have blown the lid off a false assumption. It can be said in a legal sense; she has demonstrated reasonable doubt to exist. In doing so, she has created a massive problem, for not only the education system, but all and sundry attached to the machinery of Darwinism. No wonder they want her out of the picture!
Water from Heaven
Prior to the Flood, the LORD chose to spare one family of 8 people. Noah, who found grace in the eyes of the LORD (Gen 6:8), was instructed to build a great Ark. He was to take his wife, their three sons and their wives on board; also animals, birds and flora to replenish the earth after the coming waters had abated. Immediately after the flood, these were all that remained. Noah’s three sons produced 16 male children. As only males are recorded we don’t know for certain, how many children were actually born, but we do know the population began to grow at a steady pace. There are several websites, like jewsandjoes.com and ldolphin.org/popul.html, which carry useful information on population growth from Noah’s descendants to the present. It may surprise you.
According to the Bible account, everyone since the Flood is a descendant of Noah’s extended family. Many flood stories have been preserved throughout much of the world in numerous and diverse cultures, which collectively support the Genesis narrative. The flood story is found in two of the oldest works outside Holy Scripture; China’s Hihking Classic, and the Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh.
Noah:
And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of everything that creepeth upon the earth, there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
And it happened after seven days that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. (Genesis 7: 6-11)
It is written that Noah was 600 years old before he entered the Ark; how could he have lived to such an age? What was different then, that could have slowed his ageing and that of his generations? This may help. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. (Gen 2:6) Here are the preceding verses:
These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, and every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. (Gen 2: 4-6)
This is the first mention of rain ever recorded. The next reference to rain is in Genesis 7:4-7 when the LORD told Noah to enter the Ark; pending the flood, people had never seen rain. Meteorology 101 tells us for rain to fall, we need water laden clouds and these days much of the planet knows how that works! As there were no clouds, hence no rain, the LORD watered the ground with a mist. Until Noah entered the Ark, the descendants of Adam lived in an environment with effectively no changeable weather. Our climate is a major contributor to aging in human and animal kind.
The first mention of clouds in any manuscript is also in the Bible. After the waters had receded, the LORD made an agreement with Noah that He would not deluge the Earth a second time; the rainbow is His visible witness to this contract. Prior to the Flood, there were no rainbows because there were no clouds, and you need refractable droplets of water to produce a rainbow. Noah’s Flood was a once only event. The answer is found in a careful reading of Genesis 1; verses 6 through 10.
Gen 1:6: And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. This shows the LORD set a space between the waters, separating them, in which He would place a visible arch of sky; a firmament or atmosphere, (Strongs H7554: Hebrew, raqiya – an expanse) in order to divide the two allotments. One portion was to be on the Earth, and the other portion was to be above the Earth. Peter tells us;
…for this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: (2 Pet 3:5)
Gen 1:7: And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. This passage confirms that it was done as the LORD had planned.
Gen 1:8: And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. Heaven; from the Hebrew: shamayim meaning lofty; the sky, as in; the air or above.
Gen 1:9: And God said let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. This verse and the following tells us that the LORD made a division between land-based water and the stuff of the Earth, and the names He gave those divisions; Earth (dry land) and Seas (waters).
Gen 1:10: And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters He called the Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Now, the Apostle Paul encourages us to… rightly divide the word of truth (2Tim 2:15) and in Genesis we see the LORD did some dividing of His own. He separated the water and the land, and He divided the waters and the waters. Following Paul’s advice the first question we need to ask is this. Why did the LORD put water above and around the Earth? According to Genesis 1, God created our planet with land and seas encased in a sphere of water; the ideal weather-free environment for abundant life and longevity. But it had another purpose, so let’s look at the account of the Flood.
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day, were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. (Gen: 7:11)
Windows of heaven is rendered the floodgates of heaven in the Douay-Rheims; and the net-work of the heavens in Young’s, which is a more satisfactory rendering; network meaning an arrangement, set up, or system …and the net-work of the heavens hath been opened.
The restraints holding the waters above were removed by the LORD with the purpose of overcoming the Earth; to sweep away every creature… from off the surface of the ground. (Gen 7:4) (FF) Ferrar Fenton clarifies the downward motion of the water by rendering the Hebrew, geshem as …down rush. The Greek; kai Elthen ho kataklusmos (Luke 17:27) is rendered in English …and came the down surge as stated by Jesus when He spoke of Noah. By His confirmation, we know the story of the flood is true.
Noah was six hundred years old when the down rush of water came upon the Earth. (Gen: 7:6) And the belts of the heavens were broken and there was a down rush on to the Earth for forty days and forty nights. (Gen: 7:12)
The waters overwhelmed the land and covered all the hills and mountains, which are below the skies. (Gen: 7:19) FF (Ferrar Fenton Translation; 1901)
The Hebrew; geshem is rendered rain in the King James. The rain was upon the earth, or the rain was on the earth; direction of the deluge was downward. To us this is fairly obvious, but until the Great Flood, water falling from out of the sky had never before been seen. The waters above, which the LORD released over 40 days and nights, are now our oceans and seas.
Only 30% of the Earth’s surface is made up of continents and islands; the balance is water. The Earth is known as the Water Planet and we now live on its upper regions. To date, no other planet that we know of is like it. Sitting as it does in its Goldilocks Zone, planet Earth is unique in the solar system. The oceans and polar ice we know today started out as the waters above, until brought down on the Earth by the LORD.
Now, think about this for a moment. Where else, could such a vast amount of water be sourced for the flood? But is this true? Jesus bore witness of it: …until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. (Luke: 17:27) It was also Jesus who divided the waters. (John 1:1-3)
I have put these few notes together to show an alternative, but not uncommon view, of our history. Much is questioned, and should be, and why we know the Earth is circular and not flat. Mind you, Isaiah knew the Earth was round long before Pythagoras, and Job knew it was floating in space…
Have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth… (Isa 40:21-22 – C.740-695BC)
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. (Job 26:7)
Maybe time to reflect
Most people dismiss the thought of Creation, preferring the theoretical view of evolution as an answer. This doctrine has been driven by populist teaching with the convenience of providing a godless view of the world. At its core is rationalism. Such views and those of its offspring, materialism and humanism, must by their very nature deny the Biblical model. Though, this does not preclude an individual’s belief in God or standing apart from the crowd. Faced with growing evidence of intelligent design, many scientists are now allowing for the possibility the Earth and its inhabitants have a very different history to the one assumed; the sooner they figure it out, the better for us all.
Yet, the bulk of damage to the veracity of God’s Word has been caused, not so much by men of science; but the Church. Dogma laden systems have brought about the demise of the views of our forebears, who held as a statement of truth; God is the Creator of all things, seen and unseen. The observable result is many are now driven to seek another path. This leaves us with a decision to make. We can accept the evolution hypothesis; we can believe the Word of God, or we can do nothing. And, while doing nothing is also a decision, it is better to stand for something than fall for anything.
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. (Rev 3:15)
To uncover the mysteries of science or mathematics, a group or an individual arrives at a premise then attempts to articulate it. This process of imagination, calculation and elimination, yields information on which a proof can be established, until overturned by a more recent finding; like a palaeontologist discovering elastic membranes, blood, amino acids and DNA in dinosaurs… But, here we will leave the last word to the Apostle Paul.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse: because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened. (Rom 1:20-21)
I pray the Lord Jesus Christ opens His truth in yours…
