The Garden of Gethsemane

While we do not know the precise location of Gethsemane, its location on the Mount of Olives offers an important geographic window into Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane. The Mount of Olives sits on the eastern watershed of the Jerusalem hill country. Beyond the mountain’s ridge, the land drastically falls away toward the Jordan River Valley and the area of Jericho and the Dead Sea. This wilderness served bandits and refugees for centuries as it provided natural concealment to those hiding from authorities

When Jesus prayed in Gethsemane, He physically stood at the door of escape. He could have walked less than an hour and disappeared from Caiaphas and Pilate. This heightens the tension of His prayer, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done” (Luke 22:42). In that moment, He turned His back on the door of escape to face God’s will that lay in front of Him, the cross

Dinosaur Herd Found Buried By A Flood........ Noah's Flood

In Mongolia 2001, a herd of 25 dinosaurs were found buried deep in sediment, of what had been thick mud. Evolutionists quickly employed the idea that a lake had existed there and the dinosaurs died there over a long period of time. However, the evidence left behind shows that the animals suffocated (death throw), and decomposed after being buried alive as a blue gray mass exists around each of where the animals were found. The limbs were bent as the animals struggled to get out of the mud. This is what we would expect to see as Bible believers who believe in Noah's flood

Most of the dinosaurs were buried in a life-like crouching posture and, even more surprisingly, the limbs of the dinosaurs were plunging down into the underlying mud as deep as 40 cm. Their hind legs were often still bent indicating that they were struggling to escape. Two of the skeletons were found one right over the other where they apparently fell. This fossil find captures in stone how the dinosaurs perished when they became mired in the mud.

The thick layer of mud in which the animals were trapped displayed bedding that was twisted and convoluted4 indicating that the sediment was only recently deposited from flowing water and still soft when it was disturbed. There was an absence of bioturbation (such as burrowing by worms or crustaceans) in the underlying mud,5 which also indicated that the mud was only recently deposited.

Not only was the thick under layer of sediment recently deposited, but the overlying sediments were deposited soon after the animals were trapped, burying the animals before their soft parts had a chance to rot away. Nearly all the fossil bones were surrounded by a drab, blue-gray halo indicating how far the soft tissue extended, and that the carcasses had decomposed after being buried, not before. In addition, gastroliths (stomach stones) were found in the fossilized ribcages of some animals, as well as carbonized stomach contents . So promptly were the animals buried that the delicate bones in the eye (sclerotic rings) of some animals were preserved. The team interpreted the site as a “catastrophic miring of an immature herd

A lot of us (Christians) have always said dinosaurs were alive when God flooded the earth. Only the animals Noah saved would carry on their lines. My own personal thoughts are,  the dinosaurs were to large so God sacrificed the dinosaurs so Noah could carry out God's plan

Paleontology Shaken: Organic Molecules Found in 66-Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Bones
BY University of Liverpool
February 11, 2025

For years, scientists widely believed that the fossilization process destroyed all original organic molecules, leaving fossils devoid of their original biological material.

However, a groundbreaking study led by the University of Liverpool has provided strong evidence that Mesozoic fossils, including dinosaur bones and teeth, still contain preserved organic materials.

Grand Canyon Proves The Genesis Flood

Geologists from around the world descend upon the Grand Canyon to see the layers of rocks. Only a few places on earth reveal such a sequence of rock layers, and here is what has been discovered.
 
1. All of the horizontal layers contain marine fossils such as corals and clams. Marine fossils are found on every continent in the world.
 
2. There is a layer formation that has been found across the United States called the Coconino Sandstone or “the bathtub ring” in other states it’s also referred to as Cedar Hills Sandstone, Duncan Sandstone, and the Glorietta Sandstone.
 
3. The Tapeats Sandstone, one of the lowest layers of the Grand Canyon, appears to form a single sandstone body that blankets across North America, extending from California on the west northward to Montana, covering much of North Dakota, and across the Midwest to New England. The same formation in southern Israel is called the Nabatean Sandstone of Petra.
 
4. The Redwall limestone in the Grand Canyon is grey limestone stained red from the iron oxide in the above layer. This same limestone can be found in much of North America, England, and in the Himalaya Mountains.
 
During the Genesis Flood, there was catastrophic flooding across the earth. These tidal waves and tsunamis killed marine creatures and poured onto the land. Subsequently, tsunamis laid down more layers of fossils containing sediments. The Flood continued for months. The Grand Canyon reveals the violent worldwide flood that once was; it's a monument to the Genesis Flood.

Advanced Mathematical Knowledge

It's fascinating to see how advanced mathematical knowledge existed {b]Long[/b] before the figures we traditionally associate with its discovery. The clay tablets from ancient Babylonia are a testament to the sophistication of early civilizations in applying mathematical principles for practical purposes like land surveying and teaching

Key Insights from the Tablets:
A. IM 67118 (ca. 1770 BCE)
Used to calculate the length of a rectangle's diagonal, demonstrating an understanding of the Pythagorean theorem in practice
Highlights the use of mathematics in solving geometric problems for practical applications

B. Si.427 (ca. 1900–1600 BCE)
A tool for land surveyors to draw accurate boundaries, showing the importance of mathematics in administration and land management
Suggests the use of Pythagorean triples to ensure right angles in boundaries

Significance:
These findings prove that the Pythagorean theorem was known and applied more than a millennium before Pythagoras lived
The Babylonians used Pythagorean triples (e.g., 3, 4, 5) to construct right angles, a technique essential for accurate measurements in their work
The tablets indicate a broader understanding of advanced mathematical concepts, highlighting their ability to solve real-world problems through math

The Pythagorean Theorem:
While it wasn't formally named or generalized as we know it today, the theorem’s practical applications were clearly understood. This reflects the innovative and practical approach ancient civilizations took toward mathematics, blending theoretical understanding with practical needs

God and the Humpback's Whale Bumps

The humpback whale has bumps on the front edge of its flippers. Common sense says that a smooth edge is a better design, which is why divers wear skin-tight suits and why submarines have a smooth tube-like shape.

This was the conventional thinking unil engineers tested a whales flipper in a wind tunnel ( a smooth and then a bumpy flipper). The smooth flipper acted as an airplane wing, providing lift and propulsion to the whale in water. Surprisingly, the flipper with bumps (tubercles) were found to have 8%[/u] better lift and 32%[/u]  less drag. It also resisted stalling (drastically losing lift) at a 40%[/u]  steeper angle.

So why did the bumps on the flipper work better?? The bumps broke up the flow of fluid and forced it into the fluted valleys in between. The generated eddies (vortices) that kept the flow to the top surface of the flipper, thus increasing the lift and resisting stalls

Researchers are now proposing this design on helicopters, propellers, and ship rudders. It would be foolishness to copy clear designs in nature and NOT attribute them to a Designer. When we see these bumps (tubercules), we know there is a bump maker, and that is God.

Everywhere we look there is proof of God and His works.

Flood Legends

The Toltec Indians of Ancient Mexico have recorded that their history lasted 1,716 years and was destroyed by a great flood. A few men escaped the flood in a closed chest. Following the great flood, men began to multiply and built a very high tower. However, their language became confused, so different language groups wandered to other parts of the world. The Toltecs claim they started as a family of 7 friends and their wives who spoke the same language.  They crossed great water, lived in caves, and wandered 104 years until they came to southern Mexico. The account reports that this took place 520 years after the great flood.

Coincidence? I think not. While a few small details are not exact, they match up greatly with the Biblical record. Almost every ancient culture has a record of a great flood in the past. This is a fact that most scientists don't follow through

Box Canyon A Rapid Formation...

Geologists now think Box Canyon in Idaho, USA, was carved by a catastrophic flood and not slowly over millions of years with
À) huge plunge pools formed by waterfalls;
B) the almost complete removal of large basalt boulders from the canyon;
Ç) an eroded notch on the plateau at the top of the canyon; and
D) water scour marks on the basalt plateau leading to the canyon. Scientists calculate that the flood was so large that it could have eroded the whole canyon in as little as 35 days.

Russia Issues New Nuclear Warning to US at UN: 'Suicide Venture'
Sept. 28 2024

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, issued a new nuclear warning during the United Nations (U.N.) General Assembly on Saturday, as he told Washington, D.C., to prepare Europe for a "suicide venture."

Amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, tensions between North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries and the Kremlin have continued as NATO leaders have increasingly warned that direct conflict with Moscow is a realistic danger as it has more nuclear warheads than any other country, according to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICANW).
