I thought this little “commercial” bit/skit on the radio program was quite funny. I’d recommend listening to the whole 2 hour program along with many others that Chris Rosebrough has done with Pirate Christian Radio. Another great resource for reformed videos on the web and many other resources is Lane Chaplin’s channel on youtube as well as his blog.

Last night I happened to catch a few minutes of the Late Show with Conan O’Brien at about halfway through the show after watching a recording on my dvr, and what I heard about 2 minutes after I started watching just cracked me up. I decided I’d share it here on my blog. To start off Conan had an animal expert on the show and the “expert” was showing off a vulture to Conan. Conan asks the “expert” about the coat of feathers around the vulture’s neck. The animal “expert’s” reply was what caught me as ironically funny. Here is the transcription of the dialog and the video clip beginning just before the incident transcribed.

Conan: “So that beak could crush..uh–”
Expert: “Right through your fingers–”
Conan: “–Okay, again you’re obsessed with that”
Laughter…
Conan: “Look at the–I love the–Does it serve any purpose that it’s wearing like kind of a uh…a scarf around it’s neck? Is there any reason for that in nature?”
Expert: “No…that’s just the way they’re designed, I mean. I guess evolution’s brought ‘em to that point.”
Conan(Talking at the same time): “It was God’s will, yes!”
…

Apparently this animal expert doesn’t have a clue the difference between design and chance, or the difference between Creation(design) and Evolution(chance). I think someone is really clueless, namely the animal trainer expert that was a guest on the show. Or, maybe he believes in some nonsensical muddled mixing of the two “theories” as some people do even though the thought is completely ridiculous.  The two ideas are in complete opposition to each other, complete opposites at opposing ends of the spectrum and to suggest that both could occur is completely incomprehensible. I did think this was funny that anyone would suggest such a thing on national television. Then again we’re talking about Hollywood so maybe I really shouldn’t be so surprised.

Anyway here is the clip. I hope someone else besides myself and my wife finds this at least a bit funny.

I recently watched a video series by Mike Riddle on Evolution and Creation models of our existence, and I think Mike explains both models in the simplest way. He makes it very clear using the Evolutionists own theory to disprove it. I think Darwin himself said it best in his book Origin of Species (6th edition, 1872 p. 413).

“Why is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this is the most obvious and serious objection which can be urged against the theory.”

Darwin essentially tells us straight out that there is absolutely no evidence to support his theory. Now many evolutionists will argue otherwise that they have found these supposed links and they will refer to “lucy” and other controversial fossils that really have no basis. One could only raise one question, where are the thousands upon thousands of links that there must be to support this theory? They don’t exist!

Well you watch the video series for yourself. Any logical person can see the fallacy of the evolutionary model if they are willing to open their eyes. Those who refuse to open their eyes do so because they know what the light will do when they open their eyes; it will reveal to them what they/we all really are: full of sin. (John 3:19-21) This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.”

Due to Javascript I cannot link directly to the video itself. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and it’s the last video series on the page.

The Fossil Record by Mike Riddle.

Will you stand for Jesus at all costs? Will you die for Him if He so wills it? He stood for us and paid the ultimate price. Who do you stand for?

Recently I was surfing the blogs on wordpress and came across a great blog by an inspiring and talented young woman in her own right. I was browsing through some of her posts and came across a video on youtube, of a young man named Josiah Leming who is 18 and lives in his car and travels around the country playing his original music. He was recently on American Idol and cut before the top 24, and after watching some of his performances on the show I can see partially why. Not because he isn’t amazingly talented, I think he got a bit overconfident, and truthfully his original music is what he does best I think. I’m not really a big American Idol fan much anymore anyway. However I wanted to share a few of Josiah’s songs on this post as they are truly deep and he is a very talented musician. From what I gather from his biography, is that he is almost completely self-taught musician. He dropped out of school and travels around the country playing his music. Take a listen for yourself and tell me the lyrics don’t move you, look at his passion for the music.

This is by far my favorite of Josiah’s songs:

Another great original song that he wrote. Just watch him play, look at how passionate he is for his music.

Another beautiful song…about a melody. You can tell that he truly is in love with music.

And yet another passionate original.

Visit his myspace page and find out more about him and pray as I will that God uses Josiah to bring glory to Him. I pray that Josiah will continue to create more beautiful and inspiring music that is deep and carries a true passion from the heart, a stark contrast from the materialistic, and boring music by many popular artists today.
