Map is a puzzle for researchers

From Yahoo News

Why did the mapmaker name the territory America and then change his mind later? How was he able to draw South America so accurately? Why did he put a huge ocean west of America years before European explorers discovered the Pacific?
The map was created by the German monk Martin Waldseemuller. Thirteen years after Christopher Columbus first landed in the Western Hemisphere, the Duke of Lorraine brought Waldseemuller and a group of scholars together at a monastery in Saint-Die in France to create a new map of the world.
"The actual shape of South America is correct," said Hebert. "The width of South America at certain key points is correct within 70 miles of accuracy."
Given what Europeans are believed to have known about the world at the time, it should not have been possible for the mapmakers to produce it, he said.

Maybe they traveled further than we think they did. Maybe they were smarter than we think they were. Maybe we need to follow the clues history leaves us and just not discard them because we don't like them.

Reunion Memories

Warm memories from the Butler Reunion 2007.

Batman 1977

Sure I was 12 years old but I would anxiously await the new Saturday morning cartoons to start each fall.
The promo would get me hooked and I would count down the days until the promised shows would air.
I would get up early that weekend and await t.v. to start broadcasting. Static, the national anthem and then it was go time.
Cheerios on the couch until Dad got up and said "Enough t.v. go out side and play!" and that was probably 10:00 a.m..
Fond, fond memories.

I never much cared for BatMite though.

Baby Mammoth

Here is a Reuters video about a baby mammoth.

Quote: "July. 10 - The remains of a baby mammoth which died 10,000 years ago in the ice age have been found in Siberia."

How do they know it was 10,000 years ago?

Did the mammoth have dated coins in its pocket? Or a dated certificate of death around its neck?

They are guessing. I just wish they would say they were guessing instead of stating things like they were fact.

Hot Enough?

I don't want to say it has been hot this summer but look at this ice cream truck!

Batman!

Here is the first glimpse of the new Batman costume.

Quote "Ever wonder why movie Batmans rarely turn their horned heads? It's because the cowls of past suits were firmly attached to the neck and shoulders of the costume — necessary to maintain that iconic silhouette and to prevent the actor from moving around inside the mask. The new headpiece — modeled after a motorcycle helmet — is separate from the neck, so star Christian Bale can now swivel his noggin side to side, or nod up and down."

Glad to hear a report on the new movie but sad to hear that it is not set to be released until july 18th . . . . . . . . 2008. :0(

Rain Forest Found

"A giant fossilized rain forest has been unearthed in an eastern Illinois coal mine near the town of Danville."

The story says an earthquake dropped this "rain Forest" and covered it with mud.

Where is the evidence of this earthquake, where did all the mud come from, and what placed all the vegetation on top of it that later became coal?

Noah's flood!!! That's where it came from.

I wish science would be scientific and follow the clues to the answers. Sadly they have things already placed in their mind that they cannot allow and this limits what their conclusions can be. Thats not science.

This is more evidence that the Bible is true. The world was different before the flood (rain forest's in Illinois, giant bugs and huge plants).

Follow the evidence. We were created there is a Creato, get right with Him.

Moon Panoramas

"On July 20 ( July 21 GMT ) 1969 the first man stepped on the moon. During the next 3 years 6 missions to the moon was made and a total of 12 astronauts walked on the moon. One of the missions Apollo 13 failed and they had to return.
During these missions thousands of images were taken, less known is that during all the missions they made image sequences which with today's computer technics can be stitched together into 360o interactive panoramas giving you the possibility to view the moon almost as you were there."

This does take awhile to load but is well worth it. I was also pleasantly surprised that audio of each mission plays while you explore the Moon.

Writing with Water

Walking Fish?

I know the picture is blurry and its hard to tell what is going on so let me interpret for you.

These are fish "crawling" up on shore to eat.

Watch this video and notice that they all go back in the water and none have sprouted any legs yet because they are fish.

This reminds me of some good questions to ask evolutionists.

Did the first fish out of the water have lungs or gills?

If it had lungs how did it live in the water if it had gills how did it live on land?

Was it a boy or a girl? How did it find someone to mate with?

Food for thought. Genesis 1:21

Wildfires expose artifacts

DESCANSO, Calif. - An oak tree was still burning nearby when Margaret Hangan made her way across a wildfire-scorched landscape and spotted to her delight a set of flat-topped granite boulders that served as kitchen counters in an ancient village 2,000 years ago.

Here are some interesting finds mentioned in the article.

Fires are a double-edged sword," said Richard Fitzgerald, an archaeologist for California state parks. "They can be very destructive, but after a big fire you can find new sites, even in areas that have been surveyed before."

Crews found an abandoned gold mining camp and an adobe homestead from the 1800s.

After a smaller fire there in June, they discovered a cave with rock art and a site with unusual beads made from freshwater shells.

Most finds are small, rock flakes left behind by hunters sharpening arrowheads, or piles of rich brown earth, called midden, that remain from prehistoric kitchen scraps.

In rare instances, fires unveil large structures. Archaeologists discovered fortress-like stone walls after a 2003 fire ravaged Cuyamaca State Park northeast of San Diego.

Reminds me of when I was younger and Dads neighbor would burn off the pasture next to us. My brothers and I would don our rubber boots and search the area to see what was left behind.

Never found an Indian village though we mostly found snakes, chipmunks, balls and rockets we had lost in the tall grass.

I can remember thinking how it must be like the surface of the moon, ash grey and barren.

Treasures looted 'back in the Holy Land'

A COLLECTION of sacred artefacts looted by the Romans from the Temple of Jerusalem and long suspected of being hidden in the vaults of the Vatican are actually in the Holy Land, according to a British archaeologist.

These were stolen in 70 A.D. when Rome attacked Jerusalem and is chronicled in stone in the "Arch of Titus" pictured above.

I think this is quite interesting that as we draw nearer the end Gods things and people are making or have made their way back to Jerusalem.

A Pale Blue Dot

On October 13, 1994, the famous astronomer Carl Sagan was delivering a public lecture at his own university of Cornell. During that lecture, he presented this photo: The photo above was taken by Voyager 1 in 1990 as it sailed away from Earth, more than 4 billion miles in the distance.

This page goes on and gives us Carl Sagan speech.



When the picture was taken I and my entire family is in the photograph (see me waving?) along with the rest of the worlds population. Cool thought.

It is a pretty interesting speech but it ends with a wrong and sad conclusion.

This is what came to my mind. Psalms 8

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and whatsoever] passeth through the paths of the seas. O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth!

New Cave Found

A Giant Crystal-Filled Cave was Discovered in California by amateur cavers.

September 26, 2006—Four amateur explorers have discovered a giant, crystal-filled cave in California's Sequoia National Park that scientists are hailing as a major find.


I have always dreamed of finding something like this in my back yard.

It seems I have passed it on to my kids as well.

My boys have told me of their crawling head first into every little hole that they find in the woods. So I give them the stern warning about being careful and then grin really big.

It seems the apple doesn't fall far from the tree after all.

And as we walk they share that their dream cave they will find is also filled with ancient treasures just as mine have always been.

I wish it would have been me but finds like this still keep my hope alive.

Well done cavers and good for you!

3.3 million-year-old girl fossil

"The new bones belong to a three year old girl who lived 3.3 million years ago -- 150,000 years before Lucy,"

Here is an interesting comment.

"Evidence indicates that she probably died in a flood from the nearby Awash river,"

Hmmm Noah's flood perhaps?

They always say how old these bones are and that they are the oldest ever but I would say the ones they find in coal or rock would be older. If the bones they find in coal/rock are fake (which some argue) what about man made objects found there?

I think they don't mention these because they are clearly human or man made and that messes up their "only found in text books" strata layers/time table.

The article ends with another curious statement.

"On the shores of what was formerly a lake in 1967, two Homo sapiens skulls dating back 195,000 years were unearthed. The find pushed back the known date of mankind, suggesting that modern man and his older precursor existed side by side."

In other words Man and ape have always lived side by side one did not evolve one from the other,

False Christ

Jesus warned us that in the last days false Christ's would come, here is a (video) link to one of them.

He violates so many warnings in the bible.

One of the big ones this clip reminds me of is 1-John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."

And of course Jesus warned us in Matthew 24: 23-26----"Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not.
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.
Behold, I have told you before.
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not.
