Muslims Should Never Forget This !

Editor: Note: Some of the views below may be controversial, especially by those who know nothing about the real conflict in the Middle East. They are published NOT because we agree with them entirely but in the interest of hearing what you normally would NEVER hear by way of the regular "news" organizations.

FACTS:

1. ALL the recent REVOLUTIONS in Arabia and North Africa was started by an American Jew.
And this Jew is a Genuine Revolutionary. A Capitalist. Mark Zuckerberg, the genius behind FACEBOOK.

2. The "REVOLUTION" in Libya is not a "popular uprising," any more than the wars in Afghanistan were, but a WAR BETWEEN TRIBES. That is the reason some regions of Libya are controlled by the dictator's tribe and others by tribes at war with the dictator's.

AMERICA HAS NO BUSINESS GETTING INTO THIS FRAY.

3. VATOPEDION - What really caused the Greek Financial Meltdown?

No, not the American Banks. Here I add, that anyone who believes any of the FED and banker's conspiracy theories is paddling up the wrong stream. But that is for another day. While the REAL Greek Tragedy, the scandal is off the radar, it is the core of the problem in Greece.
So who caused the Greek collapse?

MONKS! Greek MONKS who became BILLIONAIRES at the expense of the People in a LAND SCAM trading worthless land for valuable land!

"
The monastery, Vatopedion, is one of 20 on the northern peninsula of Mount Athos, home to a 1,000-year-old monastic community in which all females are entirely barred.
The scandal embroils its abbot, Ephraim; at least three senior aides to the prime minister, Kostas Karamanlis; judicial officials linked to Orthodox faith groups; and the wife of a former minister who acted as notary public for the land swaps. And many Greeks are asking whether Karamanlis, who canceled the deals after their scope emerged this month, knew of the arrangements all along.
"This is the biggest scandal to hit Greece in recent decades," said George Kirtsos, a publisher and political analyst who is based in Athens. "Its effects are bound to be far-reaching because of the wide range of interests that are implicated."
The land deals began in 1999, under a Socialist government, but about 260 swaps were finalized after Karamanlis's center-right New Democracy Party took power in 2004."

4.. THE PEACE TREATY between Egypt and Israel is a sham, and has the SAME value as the other treaties between Israel and the Palestinians. None. A Muslim DIVERSIONARY TACTIC - a continuation of JIHAD to WEAKEN Israel...and thereby to WEAKEN the projection of American Power, influence and PROSPERITY.

EXCERPT from the BELOW: "Peacemaker" Anwar Sadat's letter to Adolph Hitler before the war ended:


"My Dear Hitler,
"I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. Even if you appear to have been defeated, in reality you are the victor.




Like virtually all Arabs and Muslims, Sadat adored Adolf Hitler - "My dear Hitler," Sadat wrote in praise of the German dictator, Sadat's idol since childhood, "I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart...."
"You succeeded in creating dissensions between Churchill, the old man, and his allies, the sons of Satan [the Americans].
"Germany will win because her existence is necessary to preserve the world balance. Germany will be reborn in spite of the Western and Eastern powers. There will be no peace unless Germany once again becomes what she was. The West, as well as the East, will pay for her rehabilitation - whether they like it or not. Both sides will invest a great deal of money and effort in Germany, in order to have her on their side....
"We will not be surprised if you appear again in Germany or if a new Hitler rises in your wake."


Arab "Moderates" Are More Dangerous Than Openly Extremist Arabs (Part 1)


Arabs who pretend to be "moderate" are far more clever and dangerous than Arabs who openly proclaim their genocidal Islamic goals
Egyptian Muslim Nazi dictator Anwar el-Sadat taught the Arab Muslim Nazis how to play the "moderate" game for foolish Western "infidels"





Hitler fan Anwar Sadat plays the "moderate" Arab Muslim Nazi with self-hating Jews Golda Meir and Shimon Peres




Self-hating Jewish Marxist Yitzchak Rabin pays his respects to Egyptian Muslim Nazi dictator Anwar Sadat's Cairo tomb
There are no Arab "moderates." The universal goal of the Arab world is the destruction of America, Israel and Western civilization.
The clever Arabs who pretend to be "moderate" when speaking to naive Christians and Jews are far more dangerous than the less clever Arabs who honestly and openly proclaim their Nazi genocidal goals.
In the next two weeks, JTF.ORG will prove this point by revealing the truth about the ultimate representative of the Arab "moderates," the late Egyptian Muslim Nazi dictator Anwar el-Sadat, yimach shmo ve-zichro (may his name and memory be obliterated).
An openly genocidal Egyptian Arab Muslim Nazi, at odds with the far more clever and dangerous policy of Egypt's military regime, waves his Koran through prison bars




Sadat was far more clever than openly genocidal Egyptian Muslim Nazis like Ayman Zawahiri (l.), the medical doctor and close personal associate of Osama Bin Laden
Sadat taught the Arab Muslim Nazis how to play the "moderate" game with foolish Americans, Israelis and other Westerners. In the next two weeks, we shall review the devastating consequences of Sadat's Nazi strategy of deception, trickery and lying propaganda.
Until 1970, the Arab world was ruled by bloodthirsty Muslim despots who openly proclaimed - even to Westerners - that their goal was to "push the Jews into the sea" and "finish Hitler's job" (to quote Ahmed Shukari, Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to the United Nations and the first chairman of the terrorist PLO).
The leader of the Arab world has usually been Muslim Nazi Egypt, which is the largest and strongest of the 22 Arab nations that surround little Israel.




Nasser was violently anti-American and anti-Christian - positions universally popular in the Arab Muslim world - Nasser relaxed with the bloodstained foreign minister of Communist China, Chou En Lai, and received a medal from the equally bloodstained tyrant of Soviet Russia, Nikita Khrushchev
From 1952 to 1970, Egypt's dictator Gamal Abdel Nasser publicly called for the physical extermination of Israel and the Jewish people - a call that was enthusiastically echoed by the other 21 Arab dictators.
Egypt's Muslim Nazi dictator Gamal Abdel Nasser publicly called for the physical extermination of Israel and the Jewish people - a call enthusiastically echoed by his 21 fellow Arab dictators - Nasser (l.) met with a youthful Moammar Khaddafi, the Muslim Nazi dictator of the Libyan terrorist regime
Nasser was also violently anti-American and anti-Christian - positions that were and are universally popular in the Arab Muslim world.
Because the Arab Muslim Nazis were completely united in their publicly stated goal of annihilating Israel, Israeli Jews were united in their steadfast determination to defend the Jewish homeland and to prevent another Holocaust against the Jewish people.
The backs of Israeli Jews were against the wall. They had no choice but to fight in order to survive. In this situation, tiny Israel won her greatest triumphs.
Nasser and an Egyptian Muslim Nazi general during Egypt's military buildup before the 1967 Six Day War - During the war, Nasser's generals dared not tell him that the Egyptian air force had been destroyed on the ground by Israeli jets. (Some generals were later murdered by Nasser for losing the war.)
In the 1967 Six Day War, Israel quadrupled in size in only six days despite being outnumbered by the Arab Muslim Nazis by a margin of 70 to 1.




Nasser (l.) and Sadat (r.)
However, in November 1970, Nasser died of a heart attack. He was replaced by a new Muslim Nazi dictator, Anwar el-Sadat.
Arabs always lie - even to each other - During Israel's glorious and miraculous victory in the 1967 Six Day War, Nasser and Jordanian Muslim Nazi dictator King Hussein lied to each other, and to their people, by claiming that the armies of Egypt and Jordan were overrunning Israel - even though it was clear from the start that Israel was smashing the invading Arab forces
Sadat immediately told Westerners that Egypt was prepared to enter into a "peace agreement with Israel."
This was the beginning of a new era: the era of the Arab Muslim Nazi campaign to destroy Israel in stages.
Sadat's strategy was explained by his close confidant Mohammed Heikal, the editor of the official Egyptian regime-controlled newspaper Al Ahram, who wrote on February 25, 1971:
"Arab policy at this stage has but two objectives. The first, the elimination of the traces of the 1967 aggression through an Israeli withdrawal from all the territories it occupied that year.




Sadat with the left-wing, Jew-hating peanut farmer Jimmy Carter at the Pyramids in Egypt - Carter's brother Billy was openly placed on the payroll of Muslim terrorist Libya
"The second objective is the elimination of the traces of the 1948 aggression, by means of the elimination of the State of Israel itself. This is, however, as yet an abstract, undefined objective, and some of us have erred in commencing the latter step before the former."
Thus, Sadat's strategy was to first weaken Israel by getting her to make suicidal territorial retreats from the lands which she liberated in the 1967 Six Day War. After the Israeli retreat to indefensible borders, the Arab world would then attack the greatly weakened Israel in an all-out war to completely exterminate the Jewish State and the Jewish people.




Sadat, adored as a "moderate" throughout the West, spent his life emulating Hitler and Mohammed - He revealed his true nature during a interview in which he savagely excoriated his enemies
Sadat's strategy to destroy Israel in stages has now been adopted by much of the Arab and Muslim world. The Arab and Muslim world is now divided into two camps: first, the more clever Muslims, who pretend to be "moderate" when speaking to Western "infidels," and who seek to annihilate Israel in stages; and second, the less clever Muslims who openly demand Israel's immediate destruction.
Sadat - who is adored today by Jews who are self-hating or just plain stupid or both - spent his entire life emulating his two idols, Adolf Hitler and Mohammed, the founder of Nazi Islam.
As a child, Sadat - like virtually all Arabs and Muslims - worshiped Hitler.
Sadat wrote in his 1978 autobiography, In Search of Identity:
A "moderate" and "distinguished" Arab Muslim Nazi terrorist, Egypt's military dictator Anwar Sadat posed on the cover of his autobiographical In Search of Identity - In his autobiography, Sadat proudly recounts his lifelong identification with Adolf Hitler and Hitler's Muslim counterpart, the pedophile terrorist "prophet" of Islam, Mohammed
"I was in our village for the summer vacation when Hitler marched from Munich to Berlin, to wipe out the consequences of Germany's defeat in World War I and rebuild his country. I gathered my friends and told them we ought to follow Hitler's example...."
During World War II, when Egypt was a British colony and the German Nazis invaded North Africa, Sadat and other Egyptian Muslims conspired to help Nazi Germany win the war. Sadat and his co-conspirators were caught by the British. Sadat was convicted of collaborating with the German Nazis and served four years in British prison.
While in British prison as a convicted Nazi collaborator, Sadat taught himself German. He fervently read and studied Hitler's strategy, tactics and speeches, which he himself would later mimic as the Muslim dictator of Egypt.
Again, Sadat's fanatic Hitler-worship is typical of the almost universal admiration for Hitler and the Nazis in the Arab and Muslim world.




Adolf Hitler's infamous Mein Kampf is admired and required reading at the Egyptian Military Academy




An Arabic edition of Mein Kampf, the most popular book among Muslims after the Koran
Hitler's notorious book, Mein Kampf, is required reading at Egypt's Military Academy. After the Koran, Mein Kampf is the second best-selling book in the Arab world. The Saudi terrorist regime spends millions of dollars each year reproducing Mein Kampf in numerous languages and distributing it throughout Islamic nations.
In September 1953, several news wires reported that Hitler was still alive. This report caused enormous excitement in the Arab and Muslim world, where Hitler is idolized. The official Egyptian regime-controlled weekly, Al Musawwar, asked prominent Egyptians the following question in response to the report:
Sadat with West German leader Willy Brandt - Brandt was forced to resign after his personal assistant was unmasked as a Soviet spy
"If you wanted to send Hitler a personal letter, what would your write to him?"
One of those questioned was Colonel Anwar el-Sadat. Sadat responded with the following open letter to Hitler:
"My dear Hitler,
"I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. Even if you appear to have been defeated, in reality you are the victor.




Like virtually all Arabs and Muslims, Sadat adored Adolf Hitler - "My dear Hitler," Sadat wrote in praise of the German dictator, Sadat's idol since childhood, "I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart...."
"You succeeded in creating dissensions between Churchill, the old man, and his allies, the sons of Satan [the Americans].
"Germany will win because her existence is necessary to preserve the world balance. Germany will be reborn in spite of the Western and Eastern powers. There will be no peace unless German once again becomes what she was. The West, as well as the East, will pay for her rehabilitation - whether they like it or not. Both sides will invest a great deal of money and effort in Germany, in order to have her on their side....
"We will not be surprised if you appear again in Germany or if a new Hitler rises in your wake."
Indeed, Sadat's lifelong dream was to be the "new Hitler" who would finally finish off the Jewish people completely.

----------

The only Jewish leader who consistently told the truth about Sadat and the other Arab Muslim Nazis was HaRav (The Rabbi) Meir Kahane, zecher tzadik livracha (may the memory of this saint be immortalized).
Banned in the "democracy" of Israel - While Arab Knesset (Israeli parliament) members openly call for the destruction of Israel, Jews are forbidden by their self-hating Bolshevik rulers to wear Kahanist emblems
Today, the former Kahanists who once worked with Rabbi Kahane are the only ones telling the truth to the Jewish people. The Hilltop Youth, the Chayil (Valor) Party of Baruch Marzel, and heroic Jewish dissidents such as Noam Federman are the sole voices of truth and sanity in Israel.
JTF is proud to be the main U.S. fundraiser for the Hilltop Youth and other right-wing Jewish dissidents. If JTF's allies take power in Israel some day, G-d willing, every Israeli Jew will finally learn the facts about the Arab Muslim Nazi enemy.


THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR OF 2010


Posted: 21 Feb 2011 06:51 PM PST
The protests in Wisconsin represent a split in American politics. Not a split between Republicans and Democrats, but between those who believe that the government should continue expanding, and those who see the continued expansion of governments as the greatest threat to their political and economic freedoms. This is not just a debate over budgets, it is a battle over political power, and it is the country's most fundamental split since the Civil War.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QLugwHyiPL4/TWMj7I26F-I/AAAAAAAAEac/TIO0RB7QtQk/s1600/protestax.jpg

The combination of abuses of power by an out of touch liberal party, an economic recession and growing insecurity about America's future have touched off something that is more than a taxpayer's revolt. Instead it's turning into a showdown over the nature of government itself.

Money is the engine of government. Tax revenues are meant to to fund the operations of government only through the decisions of elected officials. Which is why public officials who want to expand the size and scope of government need an electoral base of support. That electorate is created using wealth redistribution. Taxpayer money is siphoned off to a redistributive electorate, which delivers mass votes and campaign contributions. There's no way to halt the expansion of government, without taking on the redistributive electorate.

That is what's happening in Wisconsin. Public sector unions are one half of a political trust. They elect candidates and then "negotiate" contracts with them. The generous contracts turn into union dues which turn into contributions to the candidates. It's a big circle of corruption that goes round and round again. And it has brought states like California to their knees.

Bigger contracts mean bigger budgets which mean bigger taxes and less jobs. In order to keep paying off the unions, states strip themselves of everything but minimum wage and union jobs. Small businesses collapse. Big businesses outsource. Less jobs mean more workers on the dole, and a smaller tax base. Everyone gets poorer, except the skeletal workforces on the state payroll, and their contractors. The taxpayers will complain that the country isn't what it used to be, but they will go on hoping for a better tomorrow.

BCReason: Finally Somewhat Reasonable

Editor: Thank you BCReason. Even tho you still have somewhat inflammatory remarks, your answering of my two questions deserves a publishing of your last comments with my responses.

BCReason
I think this may be my last comment. I've answered your questions multiple times and I still see you posting that no one has answered them.

Charles: I do not believe you ANSWERED my two main questions before Brian. You responded to them but ANSWERING is what you did THIS TIME.

BCReason:

Either you are not understanding the answers, refuse to understand because of your religious indoctrination or are being deliberately deceitful. In such case it would be pointless to continue.

Charles:

You may have a point. However now that you and I appear to be on the same wavelength altho not on the same wave, we can talk.

  • I find it rather humorous that you say I might not understand your answers. My point about that is that many if not most of them were diatribes rather than concise answers to the questions. This time you were brief and to the point. That makes for discussion.
  • Using the word "indoctrination" is a word which is used to put down individuals that do not agree with you instead of responding to their points. Perhaps you did not intend this but that is what it is. 
  • Let's take the root of "indoctrination" which is really the Latin word docere, doctus which means "to teach".
  • So INDOCTRINATION is what you have been taught although it is usually used to put down people.
  • BCReason you have also been indoctrinated unless you have never learned a thing.
  • Any teaching relating to your personal beliefs are "religious" as that is what the root word means.
  • So you have had probably several indoctrinations at various times in your life, your latest one being an agnostic by my definition as have I
  • 'Have I been brainwashed' is like asking if you have been brain-dirtied
  • And no, I have no intention of EVER being deceitful nor did I.
  • Brian, if I were to say that YOU "refuse to understand" would you be complemented or put down? That shows your indoctrination, that you think that those who disagree with you are REFUSING your knowledge. I am sure Mr. Obama thinks that about most Americans who seem ready to take him to task on November 2, 2010.
BCReason:
1. I do not a have 100% of the worlds knowledge. Less than 1%. That's Question number 1 answered.

2. God could exist in the knowledge I do not possess. That's Question number 2 answered. or more simply Yes!

"Are you happy? You now have an atheist that answered your pointless
exercise. Now you can post that you have at least one atheist that answered your question."

Charles:
Regardless of your sarcastic "are you happy" and "pointless excercise" comments you at least seem open to discuss rather than argue. Great! That does make me happier although by nature I am generally happy most of the time and I hope YOU are too.

Since you obviously got the POINT, then the "exercise" WAS NOT "pointless".
Again a flaming remark. [Why?]




BCReason
I admit that there are BILLIONS of people that claim to have knowledge of God or gods. [Editor: God only refers to the name of Yahweh, the ONE God. I changed BC's "Gods" to "gods".]

Happy again? [Editor: Pointless sarcasm? (:-)]

So all you have really proven is I may be agnostic instead of an atheist.  

[Editor: Obviously my questions were NOT a pointless exercise because BC obviously finally gets the point!]

Which really means nothing because you can be both and agnostic and an atheist. The terms are not mutually exclusive.

Charles: I tend to disagree with that statement as "atheists" in general DENY the possibility of the existence of a God. Agnostics are just not sure if there is or is not one. I find that an honest answer, admitting that you really do not know.




BCReason:
Agnostic is a statement of knowledge. Without the knowledge of gods.
Atheism is a statement of belief. Not believing in Gods


Charles:
I tend to agree with this description of what an atheist is from the Wikipedia:

"Atheism, in a broad sense, is the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.[1] In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities.[2] Most inclusively, atheism is simply the absence of belief that any deities exist.[3] Atheism is contrasted with theism,[4] which in its most general form is the belief that at least one deity exists.[5][6"

and agnostic:

"Agnosticism is the view that the truth value of certain claims—especially claims about the existence or non-existence of any deity, but also other religious and metaphysical claims—is unknown or unknowable.[1] Agnosticism can be defined in various ways, and is sometimes used to indicate doubt or a skeptical approach to questions. In some senses, agnosticism is a stance about the similarities or differences between belief and knowledge, rather than about any specific claim or belief." from Wikipedia 


Here is what seems to be a rational approach to what an atheist really is.

The following quote is taken from the following website" 









What is an Atheist? From http://www.allaboutphilosophy.org/what-is-an-atheist-faq.htm

"Richard Watson states in his 1831 book, A Biblical and Theological Dictionary: “Atheist, in the strict and proper sense of the word, is one who does not believe in the existence of a god, or who owns no being superior to nature.”

Robert Flint, in his 1885 book Anti-Theistic Theories states: “Every man is an atheist who does not believe that there is a God.”

Strong Atheism
The strong atheist, also known as an explicit atheist or a positive atheist, denies the existence of God or any other deities. This person’s views are based solely on what can be found to be true using the scientific method. Since the existence of God cannot be proven using science, the strong atheist concludes that God doesn’t exist.

Weak Atheism
The second type of atheist is the weak atheist, also known as an implicit atheist or a negative atheist. This person does not deny the existence of God outright, but rather claims a religious relativism. That is, she would claim that anyone’s belief can be true for that person, but she doesn’t believe in God herself.

An Atheistic Worldview What are the implications for a religious atheist? Without God, he arrives at the necessary philosophies of moral relativism and naturalism. But does his view line up with objective reality? And is there any evidence for a God?

Learn More About Atheism."


BCReason: Therefore if you have no knowledge of gods and no belief in gods then you are an agnostic atheist.


If you have no knowledge of gods and have belief or unsure in gods then you are an agnostic.

Personally I have knowledge of God. I went to Sunday school, church, Young peoples at B in C on Perry Rd. I was a member of Inter School Christian Fellowship at Crossley. Was a Deacon at my church. I've been to Hindu temple, Sikh temple. Read Case For Christ.

Charles: Having a knowledge "of God" is honest. There is a difference between knowledge, I would say, "about God" and "knowing God". Many have a knowledge about God, fewer have a knowledge of God as a person who exhibits personal traits just as we do. The difference is like YOU knowing your Mother and me knowing your mother. 
YOU KNOW HER. I only KNOW ABOUT HER.

BCReason:




In all that I never found Evidence of God. I had questions that science answered better than religion. So lacking evidence and seeing superior answers in science I stopped believing.

Charles:
Now Brian, this is you. Did you never think that the two are NOT mutually exclusive? Many great scientists including most of those who started the belief in a scientific method were believers and many are today. [More later.]

BCReason:
I haven't stopped looking, that's why I started these arguments with you. However I found rather than reasoned argument, censorship*, deceit, personal attacks, strawmen, prejudice.

Charles: Could it be because of your "atheistic indoctrination" that you thought that? Of course I censor because it is my blog and many of your comments were actually belittling. How can I discuss with you anything if all you do is belittle me and my points?What knowledge is gained by insulting another person. I hope you were not insulted and belittled even tho I disagreed with you. If you were I apologize. It is always the farthest from my thoughts to belittle anyone. "Deceit" is what you sit on! Everyone has at least one! (:-)




BCReason:
If you're not going to be at least honest there's no point in continuing.

Charles:
I was honest from the start. Remember that someone else's idea of honesty may look like dishonesty if you disagree with it. You and I disagree but I knew it was not as much as your arguments indicated. Now I see the real you. I remember your teachers from Winger saying something like "Brian knows more about science than I do and I do not know how to answer him." I personally never felt that way. You were and are very keen when you are not being a "flamer".

As I hope you know BC, I love science and I always have been a very curious, "doubting Thomas" seldom accepting anything at face value. I came to know God not just about him and found that science and God are very compatible.

I look at Judaeo-Christianity as being an expose of "what" and of science as "how".

However these days science has often been taken over by bigots who instead of using the scientific method use insulting, firing, belittling and mocking of those who believe in an intelligent design. Therefore there is NO science when emotions and beliefs rule "proven fact" not theories but demonstrable facts.

BCReason:
*Fox news north can come to Canada I just don't want to be forced to pay for it.

Charles:
So you would rather pay for the CBC like we are? (:-) I personally think we should cut back greatly on the CBC. It has great programs such as the CBC News is generally reliable but has bigotted interviewers from time to time who belittle the likes of Ayaan Hirsi Ali [sp?] who was as a Muslim female "circumcised" which is an obtrusive and cruel invasion of her body. Male circumcision on the other hand is like cutting off a mole, might temporarily hurt but not for long.
  
Most news media in Canada has a leftist bias. So much so that HonestReporting.ca Canada is kept in business reporting on the biassed and unfounded "reporting". When we have "news" I don't want someone's "views"! Just the facts! I think I can make up my own mind, thank you.

Remember if any payment goes on to have another channel aired it is generally payment TO THE GOVERNMENT not FROM the government. However often it is worthwhile for government in some areas to give tax breaks to encourage business to grow and that is okay and useful because jobs are provided for a community.


Charles:
Brian, here is one issue you may not have run across. I have taken it from the scientist who wrote it on Amazon.com in reference to a DVD.

Darwin's Dilemma is the DVD.

Product Description

Darwin's Dilemma examines what many consider to be the most powerful refutation of Darwinian evolution - the Cambrian fossil record.

Charles Darwin realized that the fossil evidence did not support his theory of gradual, step-by-step evolutionary development. He hoped that future generations of scientists would make the discoveries necessary to validate his ideas.

Today, after more than 150 years of exploration fossil evidence of slow, incremental biological change has yet to be excavated. Instead, we find a picture of the rapid appearance of fully developed, complex organisms during the outset of the Cambrian geological era. Organisms that embody the major animal body plans that exist today. This remarkable explosion of life is truly Darwin's Dilemma and is best explained by the existence of a transcendent intelligence.

Now the scientist's review: [Go to bottom of page.]

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Darwin's Dilemma (DVD)
My name is Mark McMenamin. I have completed a PhD on the fossils of the Cambrian Explosion, have published several books on the subject, and am a devout Christian. At the present time I am actively researching the latest fossil discoveries from Cambrian boundary strata.

This video is an outstanding success. It presents the design argument better than anything I have seen before. From the perspective of a scientist informed about the raw data, the main thrust of the film is absolutely correct. Just as Darwin (to his credit) pointed out, a robust Cambrian Explosion destroys the concept of evolution by gradual natural selection. If anything, the Cambrian event seems even more abrupt than it did in Darwin's day.

I wrote to both James Valentine and Simon Conway Morris after, to my astonishment, seeing them appear in this video. Valentine, although no Intelligent Design proponent to be sure, admits that epigenetic transmission of information (i.e., heritable information not transmitted by nuclear DNA) really does happen. This has huge implications for how we understand evolutionary change.

Although Simon Conway Morris admits that we do not fully understand evolution, he claims that the Cambrian event is uncomplicated natural selection at play. How can this be, when the Early Cambrian Chinese fossil chordate Myllokunmingia appears comparable in complexity to a modern catfish? This is sudden appearance of complexity, not ordinary microevolution. Andy Knoll at Harvard has been quoted recently as saying that it is natural selection all the way. Please, gentlemen, it is time to think more broadly, and it is past time to provide a persuasive scientific basis for these opinions about the efficacy of natural selection.

This is not to say that there are no ancestor-descendant connections across the Cambrian boundary. Dolf Seilacher has argued quite a bit with me about the Ediacaran fossil organism called Spriggina. Seilacher sees this fossil as a weird vendobiont creature, whereas I have evidence that it is the trilobite ancestor:

This said, I agree with Seilacher that most Ediacarans are bizarre and not closely related to Cambrian animals.

To conclude, biotic change through time has certainly taken place but this change is not random mutation mediated by gradual natural selection. The scientific community needs to distance itself from the taint of Darwin's defunct, socially corrosive theory. On the other hand, the Intelligent Design community needs to be careful, lest it seem to be dictating to God how He can or cannot create. It would be theologically problematic and silly to presume to allow God to create in one way (instantaneous fiat), but not in another (change through time).

Finally, with the Cambrian event we have a scientific and intellectual challenge of the first order. We need all hands on deck to bring this ship to port. To paraphrase Sherlock Holmes in "Silver Blaze," we need to see the value of imagination, imagine what might have happened, act upon the supposition, and perhaps in the end, find ourselves justified. Let us proceed. I wish to congratulate creationists for (finally) making a substantive contribution to scientific discussion.

Day of Pentecost

Sunday May 23 was the day of Pentecost.


Without getting into the history, this was a Jewish festival HOWEVER

Acts 2: "5Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. 7Utterly amazed, they asked: "Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? 8Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language?"

Did you notice that it said that "God-fearing Jews from every nation" were gathered .....
When reading the rest of the passage it seems obvious to many that A NEW THING was happening; the Christian church was being born from its Jewish roots.

Did you notice also that they were God-fearing Jews? Not just your average go to Shabbot-a-few-times-a-year Jew, but GOD-FEARING Jews! These were really sincere people.

"37When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"  38Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call."

If these were God-fearing men, why did they need to repent? Why did they need to turn their lives around? 

It is because as they recognized the truth of what Peter spoke they may have realized that their religion [not Judaism] but their own personal "religion" or relationship to God was a shell. It needed filling up. It needed completion.

And so it was that 3000 or more people began that day to form the Church of Christ.

Now if you are Jewish, I am NOT preaching at you. All of us, Christians, Jews and the rest of the world, we all fall short of what God would have for us. We often need to repent and get back on track. 

I love following my boss, a Jewish carpenter and he wasn't exactly a bad preacher either! He was a Jew. However he came to bring a new revelation, an expansion of present understanding. All those who recognized his truth began to follow him. I can too. You can too. We can learn a lot from him. 

But we never forget he WAS a JEWISH rabbi and we give much credit to the Jewish people from whom was birthed the Messiah. It is because God selected the Jews according to the Bible to show to the world a better way that we honour them as a race and make our best attempt to follow the example of our Jewish Messiah.
