WHY?

In the aftermath of the tragedies we have witnessed In El Paso and Dayton we are left with the single question that never seems to have an answer. What motivates a person to randomly start a killing rampage of innocent people? We don't have an answer. We can't look into a person's mind and see what makes them tick. What we can do is observe what they have left behind in terms of social media postings and website visits, interviews with acquaintances, neighbors, family and school officials, and put together a profile that may or may not be accurate. 

We live in a society that glorifies violence whether that is in the movies we watch or through the video games we "entertain" ourselves with, to the 24/7 news-feed we see on the internet and the television in our home's . We have become a culture of death. We abort our babies and sacrifice them to to the idol of "women's reproductive rights," and sell their body parts for profit. Life is cheap, after all we are just random accidents that evolved out of some primordial ooze, there is no meaning to life. This the mind set that many embrace and that is propagated in our culture today, mix that with mind altering drugs (legal or illegal), alcohol and mental illness, we have a toxic brew, that is ready to explode, given the right stimulus. 

We live in a fallen world. Cain was the first murderer and man has been killing his fellow man ever since. When we reject God our creator, God will harden the hearts of those who do so and leave them to their sinful ways, and evil chaos is the result. The only hope we have is in Jesus Christ for, "By his blood we are now put right with God; how much more, then, will we be saved by him from God's anger!" (Romans 5:9 GNT)

So pray for the families and friends of those whose lives were ended in these and other tragedies. Life is not cheap, for it was paid for with a price, the precious blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 

That's my take on it. Click on the opinion piece from the WSJ for additional insight's.

Taking A Bite Out of Evolution

A toothache for Darwinists

SCIENCE | Fossil find complicates theory of human evolution

Analysis of an ancient human tooth just took one more bite out of the evolutionary narrative. The discovery adds to an increasing body of scientific evidence suggesting that Neanderthals, Denisovans, and modern humans belong to one species. Though it throws a wrench into the theory that humans descended from archaic subspecies that migrated out of Africa, it fits quite well into the Biblical narrative.

The tooth, discovered in the Baishiya Karst Cave in Xiahe, China, nearly 40 years ago, is a three-rooted, lower second molar that evolutionary scientists say dates to 160,000 years ago, much older than the researchers expected. Scientists previously thought the three-rooted molar evolved in Asians long after Homo sapiens dispersed from Africa. Today, three-rooted molars appear in 40 percent of the Asian population but are quite rare otherwise, occurring in less than 3.5 percent of non-Asian individuals.

The new analysis, which appeared last week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, identified the specimen as a Denisovan tooth. Evolutionary scientists believe the Denisovan is an extinct archaic human and sister species to the Neanderthals. The presence of a three-rooted tooth in the older Denisovan specimen contradicts the idea that Homo sapiensdeveloped the trait later on their own. It is more likely, the researchers said, that Denisovans interbred with Homo sapiens. And where there is interbreeding, there is a strong case that the two species are actually the same.

The discovery that Denisovans likely interbred with modern humans shows “the Denisovans and modern Chinese are the same species, as are the Neanderthals and modern man!” Jerry Bergman, a medical doctor, science professor, and author, wrote on Creation Evolution Headlines.

The Bible says that after the Genesis flood, people dispersed out from Babel, and groups of humans became isolated. The isolation limited genetic variability and produced people groups like the Neanderthals and Denisovans, Elizabeth Mitchell wrote in an article for Answers in Genesis.

“All those descended from Noah’s family—the only people to survive the flood—supplied the gene pool we see today, unmixed with ape or any sort of transitional subhuman,” she said.

The fact that scientists can now track the genetic presence of Neanderthals and Denisovans around the globe testifies to the fact that they, and all other people, are related. There is also mounting evidence that dispersal patterns do not support evolutionary emergence from Africa.
