“Where do we get the idea that it is wrong to ask God to bring judgment on the wicked? That mentality creeps up on us so subtly that it has become a very common idea in our day. You may have even heard a fellow Christian express such an intense love for friends or relatives that God’s judgment against their evil deeds is rejected. It is possible to perceive such deep feelings of love for another as very “Christian”while failing to realize that what is being expressed actually evidences a lack of love for God.”
One of the things I’ve wanted to do for a long time is create 3D photos using a little GIF animation trick. It’s old hat, not really new tech. The full resolution of the images aren’t retained, but it can be a cool effect if you have the right pictures.
This is my first attempt. I shot this at Tohono Chul Park this afternoon. I’ve uploaded other images from today’s shoot to my Flickr account. Or you can see them on my funk-weird photo presenter site. Sadly, GIF animations don’t show up properly on Flickr.
A big thank you to the staff at Eagle TV, and my wonderful bride, who all contributed to buy me a great birthday present this year. A fisheye lens for my Nikon. I could not be happier.
I have the best wife, and best staff. In. The. World.
The nails in the coffin of macro-evolutionary theory just keep getting pounded. There may be more nails in the coffin than wood! The latest nail may be a new study of human genes revealing that human beings are far more genetically diverse from one another – and from animals, than previously thought. Here’s the latest tidbit from the U.K.’s, The Independent:
The findings mean that instead of humanity being 99.9 per cent identical, as previously believed, we are at least 10 times more different between one another than once thought – which could explain why some people are prone to serious diseases.The studies published today have found that instead of having just two copies of each gene – one from each parent – people can carry many copies, but just how many can vary between one person and the next.The studies suggest variations in the number of copies of genes is normal and healthy. But the scientists also believe many diseases may be triggered by an abnormal loss or gain in the copies of some key genes.
Another implication of the finding is that we are more different to our closest living relative, the chimpanzee, than previously assumed from earlier studies. Instead of being 99 per cent similar, we are more likely to be about 96 per cent similar.
Keep in mind that the 96 percent figure is speculation; an actual comparison based upon the new research has not been done. Suffice it to say that if human beings are 10 times more genetically diverse than previously thought, why would we be any less diverse from Bonzo?
Yes, it’s early to make conclusions of the data based upon a short quip in a science article, but Holy Cow (there’s not such thing), the more we discover the more we learn about the impossibility of macro-evolution.
Maybe macro-evolution doesn’t need a coffin. We can’t really bury what never existed in the first place.
