- Q:
What is the Gaia Hypothosis?
A: The Gaia hypothesis is named after
the Greek goddess for the earth. According to Gaia Hypothesis, earth itself is a living
organism, our "Mother Earth," as its proponents call it. Many evolutionists
adopt this theory because they have not found any evidence for gradual undirected
evolution as Darwin predicted. Radical environmentalism and the New Age Movement tie right
into the Gaia Hypothesis and evolution. The Bible teaches the earth was made for man to
have dominion over. It is going to be destroyed one day.-
- Q: What about the ozone hole and R-12
refrigerants?
A: There is not an
ozone problem that man has created. Ozone is a natural gas, which is produced when
sunlight strikes the atmosphere. O3, ozone, is poisonous, but it does filter out
radiation. In the upper atmosphere, the ozone layer protects us; it’s a barrier.
Ozone is absent from the North and South Poles because the sun never strikes those areas
directly, but at such an oblique angle that it does not produce ozone. It’s normal to
have an ozone hole.What about R-12? R-12 does
destroy ozone, but the R-12 from our refrigerators and air conditioners never rises high
enough to destroy atmospheric ozone. R-12 sinks; it doesn’t rise. Even convection
currents would not carry man made R-12 to the ozone layer for 100 years, which is a longer
time than man has been using it. Man has done almost nothing to the ozone. In fact, my
understanding is that the last time scientists measured the ozone layer, it was thicker
than it was the first time they measured it. I believe the real purpose of the
environmental propaganda is to fulfill the first plank of the Communist Manifesto; the
abolishment of private property. While there is no question man has abused the
environment, there is a hidden agenda behind the modern hype.
- Q:
What about global warming?
A: Just about as many scientists are
concerned about global freezing or another ice age as about global warming. There
isn’t enough data to be dogmatic. The answer would probably depend upon the grant
money being sought. As with the previous question, most of the environmental hype is
really to help bring about Karl Marx’s dream (nightmare) of a Communist world. His
first of 10 planks was the abolishing of private property. Though there are many sincere
people in the environmental movement, I believe the real agenda is Communism, not saving
the planet.-
- Q:
Who built the Great Pyramid, and why?
A: No one knows for
sure who built the Great Pyramid, but several theories have been proposed. Some think Adam
and his sons built it before the flood. Some think Enoch built it. Others say Noah and his
sons built it after the flood. It appears that some of its features indicate that it was
intended to be a testimony to God. Adam did not have a Bible so God gave him the gospel
story in the stars with the 88 constellations telling the entire gospel story and
God’s plan for the ages. After the flood Noah still did not have a Bible so God gave
him the gospel story in stone. The Great
Pyramid has no inscription to any Egyptian king.
It is the earliest and largest of the 67 pyramids found in Egypt.
The later pyramids are of lesser quality and are mere copies of the Great Pyramid.
Inside, there is a broad way that leads to a pit and a narrow way
that leads to the King’s Chamber. (Sounds like Matthew 7 to me.)
The 153 steps of the narrow way match the 153 fishes gathered in
John 21:11, which may be a reference to all nations of the earth gathering into the
kingdom of God. (See John 21:11)
The King’s Chamber is on the 50th row of the stones; 50 was the
year of Jubilee. (See Lev. 25:11)
Inside the King’s Chamber is a solid carved, empty red granite
tomb the same volume as the Ark of the Covenant.
Although most have been torn off, the pyramid was originally covered
with 144,000 polished casing stones, the number of witnesses in Revelation 7. The stones
were a perfect fit such that many of the seams could not be seen nor a paper put between
them today, thousands of years later.
The cornerstone at the top is missing, symbolic of Christ, the
rejected chief cornerstone ( Daniel 2:45; Psalm 118:22; Matthew 21:42; Mk 10:12). The 5
sided cornerstone may represent the number of grace.
The Great Pyramid is of such magnitude that it could not be built
today. It is 90 times the volume of the Chicago Sears Tower. Napoleon said there was
enough stone in the pyramid to build a 10 foot high brick wall all the way around France!
Some stones near the top, 400 feet from the ground, weigh 70 tons!
The foundation covers so wide an area (over 13 acres) that it could
not be built today as level as it is (less than 1/10 inch error in 13 acres). Every
locomotive in the world harnessed to the Pyramid could not pull it The door is so well
joined that it was undetectable from the outside for centuries.
The pyramid sits right on the longest latitude line and the longest
longitude line with land above sea level thus making it in the center of the land mass of
the world.
"In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst
of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD." Is. 19:19. The
pyramid is on the border when Egypt was divided into a northern and southern kingdom and
in the midst when they united.
Satan has been using the great pyramid as his symbol for the New
World Order. On the back of a $1 bill you will see the pyramid with the all seeing eye
(Lucifer) coming down to finish the pyramid. He thinks he will take over God’s
kingdom, but Jesus will be the one to come to earth and rule and reign for 1000 years. See
Rev. 20-22.
Q:
What is the Bermuda triangle?
- A: There are several theories about the Bermuda triangle, some natural, some
supernatural. The Bermuda triangle could be a magnetic anomaly resulting from a bending of
the earth’s magnetic field. There may be a large iron ore deposit or the remnants of
an iron meteor buried there that plays havoc with instruments. The ships and planes that
report unusual behavior of their instruments may be entering this area of disturbance.
Some say the ships are lost due to the violent suction created as the tide goes up and
down through the coral reefs there. Shall ships have been found down in the deep
"blue holes" in the coral. There may be a natural explanation for the reports.
Some have suggested that the triangle is a UFO parking lot,
or the entrance to hell. I personally don’t believe either of these, but I don’t
have an answer to what is causing the strange happenings there. Although no solid
explanation exists, hundreds of reports from reputable people record strange occurrences
in the area: A deacon at Wildwood Baptist Church in Oshkosh, Wisconsin gave me a first
hand account of his experience while on board a Navy ship in 1962. He was en route to the
Cuban missile crisis. As soon as his ship entered the space between Florida, Cuba, and
Puerto Rico, everything electrical, including wristwatches and flashlights, quit working.
The ship drifted for 24 hours, unable to radio for assistance, until it had left the area
and operations suddenly resumed. The area is undoubtedly unusual, although no one that I
know understands why. If you can find out please let me know.
Q:
What about Bigfoot?
- A: The Big-foot
evidence that I have seen relies on eyewitness accounts rather than empirical, scientific
evidence. Many people report sightings of creatures with similar descriptions in several
countries, as well as over 35 American States. There is no question that many of the
sightings are hoaxes, pranks, or misidentified. These creatures, also called Big-foot,
Sasquatch, Yeti, Skunk Ape or the Abominable Snowman, may be an unidentified species of
ape. Some have said it is part of a cursed race of humans similar to what happened to
Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4:33 but those theories are unverified so far. I have personally
interviewed 8 people who claim they have seen a Big-foot. Their descriptions agree in many
details. They describe it as being like Harry from the movie Harry and the Hendersons. I
don’t have a good answer to the Big-foot question. I wish I did.
Q:
What about UFO’s?
A: The best information that have comes
from the books and material from Chuck Missler at Koinonia House PO Box D, Coeur
d’Alene, ID 83816 1-800-khouse1, www.khouse.org or UFO: End Time Delusion from Green
Leaf Press 800-999-3777 or The Cosmic Conspiracy by Stan Deyo available from Mayflower
Bookstore 810-547-8227. According to Deyo, some UFO’s are U.S. Government experiments
with electrogravitic propulsion as opposed to jet propulsion, while others are Satanic
apparitions. For further information, refer to the books. I don’t know for sure what
they are, but, if I were the Devil and I knew the rapture was coming, I would want to
prepare my lie well ahead of time in the minds of the people.
Q:
Is it possible for your television to watch you?
A: This is just a rumor. There is no
evidence that televisions now monitor their viewers, and to my knowledge no technology
exists to enable them to do so. It would not surprise me if "big brother" was
doing that or working on doing it though. Small cameras could easily be installed in
TV’s to have them watch you but the picture tube itself cannot do this now. Gary
Frye, a good friend of mine, keeps up to date on this type of thing as does Carl Sanders.
Gary’s # is (704) 782-5273 and Carl’s is (850) 937-8427.
Q:
What about the Mark of the Beast?
A: Corporations and
governments have amazing technology available that has been developed over the last 20
years. Revelation 13:16 says that Satan "causeth all, both small and great, rich and
poor, free and bond, to receive a mark." The Greek word translated "mark"
literally means "etching." Computer microchips have information etched into
silicon. Microchips may play an important part in the mark of the beast.One example of technology is the UPC, or bar code. IBM
developed the bar code in 1972. The black and white lines stand for numbers and letters in
binary code. By the way, the two skinny lines at the beginning, middle, and end of every
barcode stand for "6" in binary code: 666. Under some bar codes you may see an F
or H printed sideways, which may stand for forehead and hand. As far as financial
transactions, four people have called me from Arkansas and Missouri to report seeing
customers at the grocery store pay for purchases by scanning their hand.
Many advances have been made in tracking people or items. Microchips
can be implanted in pets or cars to track those lost or stolen. Several satellites in
earth’s orbit can detect the microchip and report its coordinates. Also, Hughes
Aircraft Corporation developed a toll both substitute that tracks cars. As a car passes,
this strip in the highway deducts 50 cents (or whatever the toll is) from a debit account,
makes an image of the license plate, and checks it to see if the car is registered
properly or has been reported stolen and if the driver is wanted by the police. The strip
can check eight cars per second at 100 mph per lane. Finally, an imbedded wire along some
highways and a new hand-held device both can turn off the ignition of a running car by
destroying the car’s computer with a burst of energy. These new control and
monitoring technologies may be forerunners of the mark of the beast. Terry Cook has the
best book I know of on this subject. His # is (541) 593-9916.
- Q: How would you answer
critics like Matson, Babinski and Bartelt who have written bad things about you?
A: I will be the
first to say that I have learned much from my critics and have changed things in my
seminars over the years because of their legitimate gripes, corrections and suggestions.
For instance, I stopped using the shrinking sun argument when I was shown there are
several ways it can be interpreted. There are other, better proofs of a young solar system
so why use one that may give them wiggle room? "Iron sharpeneth iron." These
critics can be a man’s best friend if they don’t distract you from the main job.
God knows that I want to be accurate and would never purposely tell a lie to promote my
point. I may not always be right, but if I am saying it in my seminar, then I don’t
know it to be false. I work hard and research a lot to try to be right. I am certainly
willing to be corrected by friend or foe. The little problems the creationists cannot
explain are nothing compared to the mountainous problems the evolutionist is overlooking
or ignoring. I ask quite a few questions in my seminar notebook that they seem to
conveniently avoid.It is both humorous and sad
to see the evolutionists strain so hard at the gnats in the creation theory and then turn
around and swallow the camel of evolution. I have read carefully the criticisms of each of
these scoffers. I debated Ed Babinski several years ago and tried to debate the other two,
but they have declined my offers to date. I suspect that anyone who has been to my entire
seminar would be able to answer most of their questions and see through the flimsy answers
they give to some of my questions.
It surprised me how many non-answers they gave to the points I
raised in my seminar. I went through Matson’s book and circled every time he used the
words "might have," "could have," "scientists believe," etc.
His great faith in evolution shows through clearly as his religion not a science. When
answering the problem about the short period comets he says they are being replenished
from the Ort Cloud or the Kuiper Belt! No one has ever seen this happen of course but he
believes it to be so. That is an answer based not on science but faith, and he should
admit it. The entire answer is filled with typical evolutionist fantasy using words like
"computer simulations," and "theoretical calculations," "would
likely," "statistical calculations," "some astronomers estimate,"
etc. His intention is to show it "could have" happened. Well, I "could have
been" President of General Motors, but I’m not!
He concludes his non-answer to the question by trying to put the
burden on the creationist! He says, "The creationist must prove that there are no
reasonable sources for replenishing comets." P.13. No, Dave, if you expect all
taxpayers to fund your religion in the public school system, parks, museums, etc. the
burden of proof is on you! You may spend your money any way you want. You are welcome to
believe anything you want and you may teach your children anything you want them to
believe but before you spend my money to teach my children and grandchildren something I
don’t want them to believe; the burden of proof is on you!
I don’t waste a lot of time on scoffers because there are so
many sincere people who want and need the truth that it is unfair to divert much energy to
those who do not want to hear. During the war for states’ rights, President Lincoln
was getting lots of critical letters. One of his aids asked him if he intended to answer
them. Lincoln replied that if he answered all his critics that would absorb all his time
and he had a war to win. Nehemiah did the same thing when his enemies wanted him to stop
the work and come down to talk about the wall he was building. His answer was classic.
Nehemiah 6:3-4 "And I sent messengers unto them (his critics), saying, I am doing a
great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and
come down to you? Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them
after the same manner." Nearly every day a skeptic or scoffer will try to engage me
in a letter writing battle via e-mail or standard mail over the creation subject. I have a
standing offer of $10,000 for proof for evolution and I stand ready to debate any 2 or 3
evolutionists at a time in a public setting, but I won’t waste the time to slowly
hunt and peck out endless answers when they don’t really want one. That would be
casting my pearls before swine. See Matthew 7:6. If they are so sure they are right, they
should be delighted with the opportunity to debate me publicly. I will even draw the crowd
for them!
Atheists have nothing else to do. They know they can’t get a
crowd together for an atheist’s meeting so they ride on the coattails of the
creationists. I recently was invited by the free-thought club on the Ohio State University
campus to debate the editor of the American Atheist Magazine. They told me they normally
had about 30 people come to their meetings (in a university of 58,000) but they had nearly
90 come when this man spoke the month before. They were proud to tell me about this great
attendance! The night of the debate there were hundreds there (one person said over 700)
to hear the debate. I speak to crowds of over 1000 many weeks out of the year. The
atheists of course have a smarter than thou attitude about it. They say their crowds are
small because there are not very many smart people (meaning themselves of course) in the
world.
If these critics would devote even 5% of their error-detecting
attention to the evolution theory like they do to the creation theory, they would see the
lies, wild exaggerations and distortions used to support the silly idea that we all came
from a rock over the last 4.6 billion years! Converted evolutionists make great
creationists. We Christians and creationists need to work to be accurate, of course, at
the same time we need to realize the evolutionists are not the enemy, Satan is the enemy.
It may be hard at times, but we need to love the sinner while we hate the sin. God is not
willing that any should perish but that all come to the knowledge of the truth.
I won’t take the time or energy to answer all 105 pages of
Matson’s book, but, if you come across any of his (or any other scoffers) points that
particularly bother you, give me a call and I will be glad to help you see the flaws in
their logic. I travel a lot, but I try to be in the office most Thursdays and Fridays from
8-4:30 CST. Don’t hesitate to call me at (850) 479-3466.
Q:
Should (or can) creation science be taught in the public shool system?
A: This is a good
question and it deserves a good answer; however, there are other questions that must be
answered first before this question can be properly answered. The first of these is; Should we have a public school system? The tenth
amendment to the U.S. Constitution says, "The powers not delegated to the United
States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States
respectively, or to the people." The interference of the Federal government in the
education of children in unconstitutional. I believe if the government was out of the
education business (as well as welfare and hundreds of other socialist programs they have
gotten into), many other problems would be eliminated and questions like this would be
mute.
If a group of parents want to get together and hire someone to
educate their children in keeping with their beliefs and values, that is fine and
constitutional. It is unfair and illegal (constitutionally) to force everyone (via taxes)
to pay to have all children taught things contrary to the beliefs and values of their
parents.
A second question to answer is: If we decide to have a public school
system, who should run it? This will further eliminate questions about what is taught. If
the local community wants to impart their values to the students, and they are paying the
salaries, then their values should be taught. The schools became public in the mid
1800’s as part of a long-range plan for a new world order. See the article, Why the
Schools Went Public by Samuel Blumenfeld (310) 391-2245 for more on this.
Now, to finally answer the question. Not only can you legally teach
creation science in the public schools, you can teach it right out of the Bible, and teach
or devote a class to religion, and have the textbook be the Bible. We all know the effects
of what happened in 1963 when the Bible was taken out, and evolution put in to the
schools, but we have been deceived by that ACLU again! In 1963, the Supreme Court banned
the use of the Bible to try to get kids saved, which is not good obviously, but it’s
a lot better than what the ACLU has led us to believe. They did not throw the Bible out!
We have thrown the Bible out because we have allowed ourselves to be deceived by the ACLU.
In the landmark ruling of School District of Abington Township v.
Schempp, 374 U.S. 203, 225, (1963) the court held that, "it certainly may be said
that the Bible is worthy of study for its literary and historic qualities. Nothing we have
said here indicates that such study of the Bible or of religion, when presented
objectively as part of a secular program of education, may be effected consistently with
the First Amendment."
In the ruling of Stone v. Graham, 449 U.S. 39, 42 (1980), The
Supreme Court stated that, "the Bible may constitutionally be used in an appropriate
study of history, civilization, ethics, comparative religion, or the like."
In Florey v. Sioux Falls School District, 619 F.2d 1311, 1314 (8th
Cir, 1980), the court found that permitting public school observances which include
religious elements promotes the secular purpose of "advancing the student’s
knowledge and appreciation of the role that our religious heritage has played in the
social, cultural and historical development of civilization."
There are at least two other cases where the Supreme Court has ruled
that the Bible may be used in its entirety for secular educational purposes such as:
history, civilization, ethics, comparative religion, culture, and the morals on which this
country was founded!
The Supreme Court never kicked the Bible out of schools in 1963, the
problem is we Christians who believed the lie that they did! The teachers are not allowed
to try to convert students while on school time and property, but they can present
creation. Now I understand that not being able to use the Bible to get people saved is
discouraging, but, being able to use it to teach creation science or the morals that this
country was founded on can and will reverse the current indoctrination! You can not only
teach creation science, you can do it right from the Bible – verse by verse – or
you could go out on a different subject and teach how the Bible is the only moral absolute
that this country has. This country was founded on the morals in the Bible, and without
the Bible, all morals are in-absolute, and are subject to some human’s
interpretation! You can teach that! If you get in trouble (and there is a risk because so
many principals have been misled by ACLU type lawyers) call up your ACLJ (American Center
for Law and Justice in Atlanta– Jay Sekulow), or the National Legal Foundation, or
the American Family Association Law Center, or the Rutherford Institute (804) 978-3888,
and they should be willing bring it to the courts.
When I speak in public schools, I purposely do not use the Bible or
mention God because I do not want to close the door for future ministry. I may demand my
rights and lose my opportunity to get anything in the schools.
- Q: What can public school
kids and their parents do about evolution being taught in the public school system?
A: Here are some
practical suggestions students and their parents can take to fight evolution in the
classroom. It certainly is unfair to use tax dollars to promote the religion of evolution
and, at the same time, destroy the faith of Christian children in school.Parents:
Transfer your child from public school to private or home school.
Public schools lose funding when enrollment drops. See www.exodus2000.org
.
Go to school board meetings.
Lobby for a law requiring a warning sticker in every book that
contains evolution. Stephanie Bell, (334) 272-2777, implemented such a warning sticker law
for Alabama textbooks.
Write to textbook publishers to express your opinion.
Run for school board or get on your textbook selection committee and
demand that books be accurate. Most states already have laws requiring this. Getting false
information out of the books will remove many items currently used to support evolution.
See my Are You Being Brainwashed by Your Public School Textbook? for more on this topic,
or my seminar video #4. Twenty-two of the 50 states have a state textbook selection
committee. (In the other states the local district or the individual teachers will chose
which books they will buy.) The committee normally selects 4 or 5 books from the 15 or so
publishers who may submit books for review. These books are considered state approved and
the districts must chose from those books if they want the state to pay for them.
Publishers want to sell books so they produce what people will buy. If you chose the least
poisonous book of the ones available be sure to write the other publishers and tell them
why you did not chose theirs. The Gablers, (903) 753-5993, can be a great help in choosing
good books.
Encourage students to do papers showing the religious nature of
evolutionary theory in science class. Your school board may be persuaded to buy some
material for the sake of equal time. If not, get and distribute books and videos as a
mission project through your church.
Donate Creation Seminar tapes to your child’s science teacher
or school library.
Inform teachers of their right to teach creation in public school.
Many are fooled by the propaganda from groups like the ACLU into thinking they are not
allowed to talk about creation when they really are.
(See Impact article 196 from Institute for Creation Research (619)
448-0900 or Teaching Creation Science in the Public School by Duane Gish available from
CSE.)
Keep informed of trends in education and bills being introduced by
getting on "the loop." Contact Fred at Fredb001@spectra.net.
Students:
Earn good grades; behave well; be on time; be respectful.
Pray for your teacher.
Talk to you teacher about evolution and creation issues privately,
after class. Try to not confront them in class if possible.
Offer your teacher creation science material to read or watch. A
video is a great non-offensive way to convert teachers to the truths of creation.
Have your parents demand that you be exempted from the evolutionary
portions of class as they are contrary to your religion. (See Students’ Legal Rights
on a Public School Campus by J. W. Brinkley or Students’ Rights in Public Education
by the Rutherford Institute. Both available from CSE)
- Q: Are you connected with
Pensacola Christian College and do you recommend that students go there?
A: No, I am not connected
with PCC. A complete answer to this question will be posted here in the near future. -
- Q:
Where did you get your degree?
A: Every once in a
while someone will ask me the question, "Where did you get your degree?" While I
am not the least bit ashamed of my education, I have discovered that often the reason they
are asking me the question is because they have come to the point where they cannot attack
the message I bring against evolution, so they wish to attack the man instead. This is
called an ad hominem argument. They think that by belittling the man they have answered
the man’s points and won the debate. This is an obvious sign that they have lost the
debate on facts and must resort to other means to try to save face. Where I got my degree
or even if I have a degree is not related to the facts of the creation evolution debate.Back to the degree question. I took advanced math and
science classes through East Peoria High School graduating in 1971. I earned my first 60
(+ or -) credit hours majoring in math and science at Illinois Central College in East
Peoria, Illinois. I then transferred to Midwestern Baptist College in Pontiac, Michigan
where I double majored in education and Bible and graduated in 1974. (I took 18-20 hrs
each semester and summer school to graduate in 3 years.) While I taught math and science
in Christian schools for the next 15 years, I took courses at several Bible colleges and
finished my Masters (1988) and Doctorate (1991) degrees in education from Patriot
University, a small Christian University in Colorado.
