Evolution - All it Takes is Faith

My bent is to take the bible literally. When I see people in the Bible read the scripture they always take it literally. When Paul gives instructions to I believe it is the Corinthians on how to interpret a section of the old testament he tells them they are to take it figuratively. This leads me to believe that a figurative interpretation is the exception not the rule.

When I read genesis I tend to take it literally rather than figuratively or possibly literally first then figuratively second. I would consider myself a young earth creationist. I regularly check the latest scientific periodicals an am constantly amazed at how much faith it takes to believe in an old earth or in evolution as Charles Darwin outlined it. I ran across a couple of articles that illustrate a couple of problems I keep having with evolution.

"Fossil frogs yield soft tissues" http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/5214798.stm

Here we have a frog fossil, supposably 10 million years old. In which scientist claim to have found soft tissue including viable DNA. Later in the article they reference a fossil t-Rex that also had soft tissue and possibly DNA after 65 million years. Practically I can't keep a piece of chicken in the fridge for two weeks or in the freezer for six months let alone millions of years. How do they expect tissue to be viable after that length of time. Traditional evolutionists will tell you fossils take a great deal of time to form. A dead frog on the banks of a hot steamy swamp. Time you don't have, that baby is going to be maggot fest in minutes. The chances of this croaker becoming a fossil are slim enough let alone with soft tissue(also called edible) intact.
The fossil also gave them a great insight on the physiology of these ancient amphibians. They found these primitive amphibians produce blood in their bone marrow not in their spleans like modern amphibians. Hold it, don't humans and higher order animals produce blood in there bone marrow? So were these ancient amphibians more complex or more evolved than the modern counterparts. Or maybe modern amphibians are more evolved than modern humans. Sounds like evolution in reverse to me.

Indigo Children -

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/AmericanFamily/story?id=2224795&page=1

Found this story on ABC News, and I am separating it from the myriad of other news stories on this topic just because ABC is giving it airplay in both print and video. Though their tone is skeptical the fact that they have chosen to air it at all does give it an air of credibility. Indigo children have taken a leap in spiritual evolution. They are supposedly conceptual, creative and inter-dimensional. Having a keen sense of "who they are".

Who are these kids? Simply the offspring of the 60's generation. Who, after pretty much destroying American culture, (which, don't get me wrong needed something done to it) realized that they needed to settle down, get jobs and buy into the capitalist system they so hated. Now they have released from suburban America their progeny to finish the job.

Mom and Dad were the transitional form. They experimented with the occult, drugs, and sex. Then integrated these into mainstream America by indoctrinating their children and preparing them to change the world forever. This is an incredibly simple outline of the process. I personally don't believe for one second that these upwardly mobiles have a clue at what they have done or are doing. A demonic force has guided and manipulated them into accomplishing a truly ancient and diabolical plan.

Break it down - These kids are spiritually intuitive. The have been raised with out the stop gaps or protections their parents enjoyed. Mom and Dad were either raised in a conservative atmosphere that said spiritual things did not exist or in and ultra-conservative religion that said spiritual things were forbidden. When the rebellion of the sixties hit they headed for the extremes from both positions. Their children are raised environment that allows for "spiritual" things to be experimented with but without the protection of discernment. Even the name "Indigo Children" was coined by a demonic entity. After a childhood of being pummeled by demonic forces where does this leave them? Look at the subject of the article. She is overweight, depressed, ADHD, rebellious to authority, nonconformist, extremely emotional, physically sensitive and fragile. Qualities she shares with all Indigos. Her only real friends are the spirits of the dead "people" who visit and counsel her.

I thought evolution was supposed to make things better?

Change of Direction - A Course Correction

Time and energy are necessitating a change in the direction of this blog. While the physical act of Spiritual Mapping is still my primary interest, and I will be endeavoring to accomplish and document my findings on this site. It is apparent that the speed at which this will be accomplished and posted will not be in keeping with what I would consider relevant for the internet in general, and the stated purpose of this site specifically. In order to be more current as well as relevant I will be doing more cultural mapping. That is drawing attention to the spiritual implications of the actions of others. I will be sharing with you stories of spiritual interest most often from a secular source and examining them from my own Christian world view. As always I invite your own comments and observations.
