A Mathematician Looks at Darwin’s Theory and Discovers It Doesn’t Add Up

The blog Evolution News and Views takes a look at a new book which exposes the fallacy of the theory of evolution:

SEATTLE – "Darwin’s attempt to explain the origins of all the magnificent species in the living world in terms of the struggle for survival is easily the dumbest idea ever taken seriously by science," writes Dr. Granville Sewell in his new book In the Beginning and Other Essays on Intelligent Design published by Discovery Institute Press.

What do you get when you add together the big bang, the fine-tuning of the laws of physics and the evolution of life? Definitely not a materialistic theory of origins, answers Sewell, a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Texas El Paso.

In this wide-ranging collection of essays, Sewell concludes that while there is much in the history of life that seems to suggest natural causes, there is little evidence to support Charles Darwin’s idea that natural selection of random variations can explain major evolutionary advances.

In the book, he explains why evolution is a fundamentally different and much more difficult problem than others solved by science and why increasing numbers of scientists are now recognizing what has long been obvious to the layman: there is no explanation possible without design. This book summarizes many of the traditional arguments for intelligent design and presents some powerful and unique arguments as well.

False Messiah Watch: Maitreya Steps Forward

In February 2009 called Preparations Continue for Maitreya, The False Christ I posted an article about how the New Age group Share International (led by Benjamin Creme -- on the left in the photo above) was preparing to unveil their false Christ known as Maitreya, The World Teacher.

Well, after years hiding behind promises and press releases, it seems that this false prophet might be finally stepping forward. Posted below is a press release Share International issued yesterday stating that Maitreya has made his first public appearance.

Maitreya Steps Forward

LONDON, January 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Share International Foundation announces that Maitreya, the World Teacher, has given His first interview on American television. Millions have heard Him speak both on TV and the internet. His open mission has begun.

He was introduced not as Maitreya, the World Teacher and Head of our Spiritual Hierarchy, but simply as a man, one of us. In this way He "ensures that men follow and support Him for the truth and sanity of His ideas rather than for His status."

He spoke earnestly of the need for peace, achievable only through the creation of justice and the sharing of the world's resources.

This is the first of many such interviews which will be given in the USA, Japan, Europe and elsewhere, bringing His message of hope to the world.

Background information

For over 30 years artist, author, and lecturer Benjamin Creme has been preparing the way for the biggest event in history - the emergence of Maitreya the World Teacher and His group, the Masters of Wisdom. Millions of people around the world have heard his information and wait expectantly for this momentous event.

In light of such developments, let's all keep Jesus' words in mind here:

"...Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. (Matt 24:4-5)

"And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many." (Matt 24:11)

"For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." (Matt 24:24)

"And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh" (Luke 21:28)

Is America's financial collapse inevitable?

Greetings, and a belated Happy New Year to all.

Okay. It's 15 days into the month and I'm now doing my first post of the new year. There are a few reasons for that, but in a nutshell, I'll put it like this: I'm working on a few projects in 2010 that will cause me to probably post significantly less articles on this blog this year than I did last year or in previous years.

One of those projects is a separate website that I'm looking to set up, which I'm currently writing content for. I'd like that site to be completed, or at least almost completed, by the end of 2010. Please bear with me during this time, and feel free to check back for updates to this site, as I expect to still post several times a month here, especially with commentary on the major stories of the day.


Thanks to all of you for visiting, and thank you for your continued support.

That being said, my first post of the year is not a particularly cheery one.

Pat Buchanan examines the sobering question that every American should consider: "Is America's financial collapse inevitable?"

Personally I'm 150% sure that such a collapse is not a matter of if, but when. However, let the reader check out Robertson's article and form his/her own opinion:

We were blindsided. We never saw it coming.

So said Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein of the fiancial crisis of 2008. He likened its probability to four hurricanes hitting the East Coast in a single season.

Blankfein was reminded by the chairman of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Committee, Phil Angelides, that hurricanes are "acts of God." Financial crises are manmade. Yet Blankfein was backed up by Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan, who said, "Somehow, we just missed ... that home prices don't go up forever."

The Wall Street titans thus conceded they did not foresee the housing bubble ever bursting and they did not consider the possibility of a collapse in value of the sub-prime mortgage securities piled up on their books.

Backing up Blankfein's plea of ignorance and incomprehension is this: The crisis killed Lehman Brothers and would have killed every one of them had not the Treasury and Fed, neither of which saw it coming, either, intervened with hundreds of billions in bailout cash.

Yet there were those who warned a housing bubble was being created like the dot-com bubble; others who predicted the Empire of Debt was coming down – as, today, there are those warning that the United States, with consecutive deficits running 10 percent of gross domestic product, is risking an eventual default on its national debt.

The warnings come from the Committee on the Fiscal Future of the United States, chaired by Rudolph Penner, former head of the Congressional Budget Office, and David Walker, former head of the Government Accountability Office and author of "Comeback America: Turning the Country Around and Restoring Fiscal Responsibility."

With that share of the U.S. national debt held by individuals, corporations, pension funds and foreign governments having risen in 2009 from 41 percent to 53 percent of GDP, Penner and Walker believe it imperative to get the deficit under control. Unfortunately, it is not possible to see how, politically, this can be done.
