Conspicuously absent from the President’s 2006 State of the Union address was any mention of the sinister-side of a powerful
country that considers the United States its main enemy. A country that persecutes Christians with increasing frequency and builds its US-targeted armaments with stolen US nuclear technology. A hostile communist power, with over one billion people, whose military we are modernizing and funding with our own industries and a huge trade imbalance.
Why do the politicians ignore this looming apocalypse? Are we digging our own graves?

Recently, the NY Times pointed out an article in the official Vatican newspaper that agrees with the Dover PA court decision on Intelligent Design; making the case that science and faith should remain separate. This author agrees with this position on faith!
But faith is behind more endeavors than the mainstream press cares to admit.
Which of the following belief systems is the more reasonable faith?
1. The one that believes that everything we see around us is the property of pure chance?
- The life-enabling properties of water which make it unlike any other substance in the universe? Modify its chemical or thermal properties to make it more like other matter, and no life is here to witness it.
- What about the properties of light and the electromagnetic spectrum that is output by our sun? Change this in even a small way and we are no longer here to witness it.
- The properties of much other matter are also demonstrably required for life: Carbon, Iron, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and others. Again, change these and no known complex life can exist.
- To all of the above necessary preconditions of life, add the amazing information-bearing rules of life that are embodied in DNA. Darwinism cannot begin to explain this as evolution cannot operate without it. But how did DNA come to exist in the first place?
2. What about the belief that we were designed and created for a purpose?
- If myriads of the properties of our universe are modified in any way, then we are no longer here to witness it. Physical evidences embodied by an incredibly fine-tuned universe should at least allow for the possibility of a designer.
- A designer apparently much like one that has been self-revealed through an ancient record…
- A reliable written record that has a mountain of evidence to support it.
- That clearly describes its author as the designer and creator of both the universe and the life within it.
- That predicted all of the most notable parts of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ — all hundreds of years before he was even born:
