Discussion of the veracity of the Bible from what it's specific predictions of what you will read in the newspapers, and also if after considering Evolution, if the Bible still qualifies to be said it states what is truth.

man's differences for apes: mayr view 01.11.07

1/11/07

Ernst Mayr wrote a book "What evolution is" in 2001. Page 235 he wrote about the anatomical differences between men and apes as if it was trivial. In another posting i will write about other differences that only intelligent design proponents list.[a partial list]

On page 235 Harvard professor Mayr lists only the following differences:
1/ TH Huxley claimed that the differences in the human brain and apes brain was only quantitaive and not qualitative [thus claiming that R Owens claims otherwise was refuted]
2/ differences in the length of arms and legs
3/ humans have a mobility of thumb
4/ body hair
5/ skin pigmentation
6/ size of central nervous system specifically the forebrain.

reading Dr Simmons book makes this list appear to trivialize the true differences as i will explain in the posting named man vs apes 01.11.07

Zechariah 12 updated 01.08.07

1/8/07

In the Bible book Zechariah chapter 12 in the beginning it predicts that in history that God was going to make Jerusalem a trembling stone for all surrounding nations.

This past weekend i found out that the Iraq Study Group report last December suggested that the Jerusalem situation be settled at a conference where the Israeli's aren't even invited to the conference. The Bible said when the Israeli's regained control of Jerusalem that the Israeli's will control it forever.

Praise the LORD for bringing about this prediction towards it's completion.

Zechariah prediction of United States actions 01.03.07

Zechariah does say every nation will send its armies against Israel. I just heard about how James Baker and Lee Hamilton's Iraqi Study Group is recommending that the United States discontinue support for Israel and support the Saudi contention that Israel is the Middle East problem since Israel isn't giving the Palestinians what they want. Prime Minister Sharon has turned over land to the Palestinians and the attacks continue. So as the Bible predicts that every nation will send its military against Israel another indicator that even the United States is foolish enough to join the conflict against Israel since the Bible says GOD will bring disaster to every nation that opposes Israel. And the Bible also says in the last 2 sentences of Amos that Israel is in the land forever, and even if all people of the earth were to oppose GOD the human race is altogether lighter than a puff of air compared to the glorious LORD.

score for the Bible is again increased by 1
score for the critics of the Bible still remains 0
