The last book of the Bible, the Revelation speaks of an object (probably an that asteroid) that is called Wormwood shakes the Earth in a little while.  

“The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water-- the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.”

Now, science talks about an asteroid that can hurl rocks at Earth. It has to do with the meteorite that exploded over Sudan in 2008.

"NASA had spotted the 9-ton (8,200 kilograms), 13-foot (4 meters) meteor heading toward the planet well before impact, and researchers showed up in the Sudanese desert to collect an unusually rich haul of remains. Now, a new study of one of those meteorites suggests that the meteor may have broken off of a giant asteroid — one more or less the size of the dwarf planet Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt."

 

"Some of these meteorites are dominated by minerals providing evidence for exposure to water at low temperatures and pressures," study co-author Vicky Hamilton, a planetary geologist at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, said in the statement. "The composition of other meteorites points to heating in the absence of water."

Now, Jupiter takes care of almost all asteroids, so this one must be arranged by God.

Evolutionists have found a new species in the Myanmar, called the Valviloculus pleristaminis. They say it is a 100 million years old, yet in resembles the blackheart sassafras found in Australia. And this makes the flower interesting  because Australia lies 4,000 kilometres from Myanmar. The flower was trapped in resin from an extinct tree and it is only 2 millimetres across, but has 50 stamens arranged in a beautiful spiral.

Accoding to George Poinar Jr., a paleontologist with OSU's Department of Integrative Biology Poinar, author of a report on the discovery in the Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas., 

The true story of the flood is a more easy way to explain the idea. Resin comes from treed that were usual after Noah’s Flood.

Astronomers hunting for aliens have detected an intriguing signal from the direction of Proxima Centauri nearest star system to the sun, The Guardian reported.

 

Space signals tend to be false alarms. Not even the infamous wow-signal was probably cause by a comet, not aliens.

 

 So, the question is-the who made universe? Regardless of what evolutionist think, the universe cannot have come about by change.it has to have a designer, who designed it very well.

 

Now, evolution believing scientists are hoping that this new signal would bring a solution of who designed the universe and  us.

How were people living in the wild West? However, that was before Charles Darwin came with his story of humans were just evolved apes.

Even the rascals thought that God was the ruler to whom all had to admire.

In reality, the West was a lot tamer that the westerners claim. But with federal oversight missing, it could at times be distressing as people were the same as today and sin still had a way to influence folks.

Why Doesn't Evolution Produce Wildebeest With Wheels?

Why Doesn’t Evolution Produce wildebeest with wheels or plants with an automatic rifle?

However, Charles Darwin stated: “From so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”

He did not discuss whether animals with wheels were possible or even plants with a semi-automatic rifle.

Evolution exists because living things vary: each member of a species is subtly different to every other one, and the ones best suited to their environment because more common – according to the Darwinian myth. 

But this could also be answered by It is because the Creator did not think that was necessary.

President Trump thanks God for sending His son to redeem the world

Joel Kontinen

Here’s what President Trump said in a video that has been banned by You Tube:  

“To every family across our nation, the First Lady and I want to wish you all a very, very Merry Christmas.

For Christians, this is a joyous time to remember God's greatest gift to the world. More than two thousand years ago, the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary. He said, ‘Do not be afraid, you have found favour with God.’ The angel told her that she would give birth to a baby boy, Jesus, who would be called the Son of the Most High. Nine months later, Christ was born in the town of Bethlehem. The Son of God came into the world in a humble stable.

As Christians everywhere know, the birth of our Lord and Saviour changed history forever. At Christmas, we give thanks to God and that God sent his only Son to die for us and to offer everlasting peace to all humanity. More than two millennia after the birth of Jesus Christ, his teachings continue to inspire and uplift billions and billions of people all over the globe. His Divine word still fills our hearts with hope and faith. And, Christians everywhere still strive to live by Jesus' timeless commandment to his disciples, ‘Love one another.’

Tonight, we ask that God will continue to bless this nation. And, we pray that He will grant every American family a Christmas season full of joy, hope, and peace.

On behalf of Melania and the entire Trump family, Merry Christmas to all and best wishes for a very, very great and happy new year. Thank you.”

Odd Trans-Neptunian Star Might Be Planet Nine’s Cousin

In the far reaches of the solar system,  beyond Neptune, exists a cluster of icy celestial objects known as extreme trans-Neptunian object that move in unexpected ways. Some astronomers think these objects are responding to the gravitational pull of a yet-unobserved planet, known as Planet Nine, which orbits the sun very far away.

 According to evolution, ”the new discovery of an exoplanet named HD 106906 b could help explain how a planet could get kicked to the far edges of the solar system without being ejected altogether, according to researchers with the Hubble Space Telescope.”

 Here’s how scientist explain the matter: “The exoplanet formed quite close to its stars, even closer than Earth is to the sun. Over time, though, drag caused the exoplanet's orbit to decay, which would have pulled it even closer to its host stars. Instead of colliding into them, though, the complex gravity of the pair of stars would have kicked the exoplanet into a new orbit, this one taking it far into space.”

But this is science fiction, not science fact.

An Organ That Helps Birds Detect Sounds

An organ that allows some birds to detect the movement of hidden prey by plunging their beaks into the ground seems to have been present in early birds 70 million years ago, and probably first appeared in their dinosaur ancestors.

It probably arose during the fall of man, when animals were also affected and diseased.

Special “remote touch” sensory receptors known as Herbst corpuscles, which are found within densely packed pits in the beak’s tip, help birds detect the movement of worms in soil or small fish in water – even several centimetres away from the beak. This effectively gives birds a “sixth sense”, according to Carla du Toit at the University of Cape Town in South Africa and her colleagues.

To work out when the sixth sense evolved, du Toit and her colleagues studied the beaks of hundreds of modern and ancient birds,  including four species of lithornithids, an extinct group of birds that lived alongside dinosaurs during the Cretaceous period.

Lithornithids belong to one of the two major types of birds alive today, the palaeognaths, which include kiwis, ostriches and emus.  The other major group is the neognaths.

By examining specimens of modern birds, the researchers identified distinct pitting patterns in the beak associated with Herbst corpuscles, says du Toit. The team then found those same patterns in lithornithid fossil beaks, which suggests that lithornithids had the same sensory abilities and were probe-foraging birds.

The discovery makes sense because Herbst corpuscles are found in both palaeognaths and neognaths. The two groups separated from one another more than “70 million years” ago, which would suggest that Herbst corpuscles evolved in the common ancestor of both bird groups.

That millions of years is based on not taking the Noah’s Flood into consideration.

In fact, the sensory structures might have evolved in dinosaurs, says du Toit. A “sixth sense” feature might have helped carnivorous theropods such as Neovenator find prey by probing their snouts into mud or murky water, she says.

The researchers hope in future to find if the pitting was present in the beaks of an ancient group of winged reptiles, the pterosaurs. However, the poor quality of most fossils make such an analysis difficult, says du Toit.

Israel makes peace with Morocco. But this news item is not cherished by the world news. Incidentally, it had to do with Donald trump, who is not supposed to do any good. However, he has brought peace to the Middle East.

 

This is what the BBC said;

US President Donald Trump announced the agreement on Twitter on Thursday.

"Another HISTORIC breakthrough today! Our two GREAT friends Israel and the Kingdom of Morocco have agreed to full diplomatic relations - a massive breakthrough for peace in the Middle East!" he wrote.

The White House said Mr Trump and Morocco's King Mohammed VI had agreed that Morocco would "resume diplomatic relations between Morocco and Israel and expand economic and cultural co-operation to advance regional stability".

A new study shows that when the earth was young, it birthed many new continents – and then just swallowed them up. This is according to a study just published in the journal Nature.

According to evolutionists, these continents gave birth to plate tectonics. The continents of that time, The Hadean periond, (4.6 to 4.0 billion years ago), were weak and prone to destruction.

.But several studies show that the millions of years  is just a trick to get people believe in evolution

World's oldest animal fossil came from rotting algae

Fat molecules attributed to ancient sea sponges actually belonged to algae, two new studies suggest.

Hundreds of millions of years ago, one of the very first animals on Earth died at the bottom of an ancient ocean. In life, it was a humble sea sponge; in death, it had no bones, nor teeth, nor shell to leave behind as evidence of its brief, bottom-dwelling existence. But it did have fat molecules —  or so it seemed.

Now, it seems that the 635 million-year-old sediment was filled by algae. And according to evolutionists, the oldest ,animal imprint was  roughly 558 million years ago  the fossil imprint of Dicksonian  roughly 558 million years ago.

Israelis have found out that the Palestinian authority transfers between $50 to $100 million per month to Hamas for this dark move.

 

Now, the Israelis have begun to stop this transaction, they have sued Hamas the sum of NIS 520 or about 155 US dollars for revenge.

 

Hanmas atacked the boys in 2014, According to the families of Naftali Frenkel, Gilad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach, who are represented by attorneys Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, Avi Segal and Avi Gaz from the Shurat HaDin-Israel Law Center, the purpose of the lawsuit is to stop the Palestinian Authority, which controls parts of Judea and Samaria, from transferring money to Hamas, the terrorist organization that rules the Gaza Strip.

Some Scientist Doubt That Goliath Was A Giant

Goliath, the giant was killed by King David in the Hebrew Bible, is described as having a jaw-dropping height. 

 

But that number may not have been a true physical measurement but rather a metaphor, drawn from the width of his hometown's city wall, new research suggests. That doesn't reveal whether other aspects of the story are true — for instance whether Goliath was a giant or whether his mismatched battle with David took place.

However it cast aspersions on the Bible’s text on the Bible’s text. The Bible is true in all it says, even   on earthquakes ,

"We're not trying to make a statement on the veracity of the story," said Jeffrey Chadwick, Jerusalem Center Professor of Archaeology and Near Eastern Studies at Brigham Young University, in a paper he presented at the American Schools of Oriental Research (ASOR) virtual annual meeting on Nov 19. "The issue is the metric," he said, "where does it come from, where might it have been obtained?

Now, the article’s writer seems to think that the biblical authors got Goliath's height from the width of the north lower city wall of Gath, which happens to be 2,38 metres.
