Acquiring and Distributing Knowledge Regarding God's Creation July 7, 2010
5To Him who by wisdom made the heavens, For His mercy endures forever;  6To Him who laid out the earth above the waters, For His mercy endures forever; 7To Him who made great lights, For His mercy endures forever-
8The sun to rule by day, For His mercy endures forever;  9The moon and stars to rule by night, For His mercy endures forever.

Dear friends of the GHCA,

July 29th is our next meeting date. Please note that this is a week later than you might expect. So, take a look at your calendar and mark the date.

We will start our annual summer Great DVD series where we take time to present and discuss some of the excellent creation science DVDs that have become available. We will include DVDs about astronomy, geology, biology and evolution. This series gives our members a chance to see the best before they go out and buy some. But even more a good DVD is a great communication tool. It really is very easy to loan it to a friend at church telling them how impressed you were and ask them to take a look and tell you what they think. That gives them some new knowledge, starts a conversation, and opens the door for another topic and DVD. Give it a try; it is a great way to start your own ministry in creation science!

On July 29th we will start with a DVD entitled Our Created Solar System by Spike Psarris. Spike worked as an engineer in the military space

Saturn and Cassini Probe Schematic

program where he was immersed in a lot of information related to the solar system that many do not get to see. He started out as an evolutionist and an atheist but by the time he left the program he had become a Christian and a creationist. Of course that process leads to many questions like the age of the solar system, is it 4.6 billion of years old like the evolutionary view says, or is it just thousands like Genesis says? Searching for answers in the science he knows best Spike found a lot of information we are not usually told because it does not support evolution; instead it often supports special creation.

Our Created Solar System is the first in a series Spike will produce entitled What You Aren't Being Told About Astronomy. It is full of spectacular images

from the space programs and it is worth seeing for the images alone. But as you ogle at the images, you will be blown away by the information that the evolutionist usually keep hidden so they will not have to deal with the hard questions they can't answer. Come join us on this exciting creation science adventure of discovery and learning. You will be impressed!

PS.      I am reminded that Dr. Don Patton is still considerably short of funds for his July 19th trip to explore evidence on Mt. Ararat. Please pray that sufficient donors will be provided. If any of you would like to donate, make your check out to MIOS and mail it to Don Patton, P.O. Box 1045, Port Neches, TX 77651.

Around Houston, Texas & the Nation

Let us know of events you deem newsworthy.  Email here.

Russia:  Creation Safaris reports that New Scientist is reporting that "...creationism has now reared its ugly and evolving head in Russia, the heart of the 'Godless communism' that prevailed in the Soviet Union...".  As usual, an interesting analysis follows.  Read more fun reporting and commentary here.

Texas (Statewide): 
Though slightly off topic for this newsletter, please note that the conservative seven Christians on the Texas State Board of Education scored another tremendous victory for Truth in the way History and social studies are to be taught.  The new standards, subject of intense debate and much work over the past year or more, passed late Friday afternoon.  There will be hundreds of trees die and barrels of ink used to try and deny what seven courageous Christians on the Board were able to accomplish, raising the Truth about history and America's founding fathers and documents from the ash heap of the distortions of political correctness.  Our friends at TBSE wrote earlier that Texas has become "the big house" on top of "the shining city on the hill" that serves as a beacon of freedom to the rest of the world.  The light in that big house just got much brighter.  Thanks are in order to the Texas State Board of Education.  They can be written and thanked en mass at sboesupport@tea.state.tx.us.  The full TBSE newsletter may be read here.

Important: 
The "Splicing Code"
--
Could this be the scientific breakthrough of the decade or more?

In a long anticipated development, researchers have confirmed and partially unraveled what is being called The Splicing Code.  Briefly, there are not enough genes in the Human Genome (and others) to account for the enormous variety of proteins found in humans.  This has been known since the draft release of the Human Genome project.  The late arch-evolutionist and Marxist Stephen J. Gould of Harvard described the implications of this as the "utter failure" of materialism to account for life on earth.  More was needed.  Much more.  Much more information than is locked in the amazing DNA double helix.  Now the source of much of that information is being probed and reported on.  In stunningly complex arrangements, the use of information contained in the DNA is regulated by yet another set of information.  Think of it as a code within a code.  The best write-up we've yet seen on this is by our friends at Creation Safaris, (www.creationsafaris.com).  Their article on the Splicing Code is located at: http://creationsafaris.com/crev201005.htm#20100506a.  The Science Daily article (generally has an evolutionist slant) is located at: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/05/100505133252.htm.  For those of you with access to the science journal Nature, the source article is in the May 6, 2010 issue.

Houston:
KSET Radio (Beaumont/Houston 1300 AM):
What in Creation  10 to 11 each Saturday morning. It is broadcast at 1300 AM by KSET near Beaumont. Those in the Houston area can listen on the internet at http://www.ksetlive.com/.

Dallas-Ft Worth:

Lubbock Area (Crosbyton):
All year: Consider a visit to the Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum, directed by Joe Taylor. The Museum is definitely worth the visit if you live near or are traveling through the Panhandle near Lubbock. If you call ahead and time permitting, Joe has been known to give personal tours, especially to groups. For more information, visit http://www.mtblanco.com/.
