I seem to only sporadically post anything around here, but when I do, I tend to have a long list of possible interests to from which I must choose to write about. First off, the Answers in Genesis Creation Museum is having its grand opening today. Protestors are quite numerous around the internet, and a group has even pitched camp at the gates of the museum in opposition to the structure. Funny how the evolutionists, who have a monopoly on public education, who have multimillion dollar museums all over the country and all over Europe, and who have pretty much complete control of Hollywood should feel so threatened by one single museum that presents an alternative view of the scientific evidence. You’d think that evolutionists, who profess to believe in scientific inquiry, would welcome other takes on the evidence. Apparently, a lot of people think that one dogmatically held theory having a monopoly over public presentation is good science. Anyway, today’s a good day for freedom of speech, but more importantly for the glory of the Creator. For info on the museum, head to:

While lurking around the internet this morning, I came across an article from The Telegraph entitled “Speaking in tongues.” In short, it’s about a number of Christian denominations that believe in the modern day gift from the Holy Spirit to speak in tongues. What really caused me to roll my eyes was their definition of “speaking in tongues.” Basically, they say it’s babbling in a language no one understands. Obviously, adherents to that definition have never read the verses dealing with the phenomenon.
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. Utterly amazed, they asked: “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?” (Acts 2:4-12)
Clearly, those speaking were not speaking gibberish. To the contrary, they could be understood quite well in everyone’s home language, and maybe even without an accent! I considered posting a comment on the site, but decided I’d just say a little something here. Checking back right now, I see that someone else has already pointed out the poor research.
