CMI
in Hong Kong re ‘ark' matter
Update to supporters:
Dr Carl Wieland will be in Hong Kong as this email gets to you, to
meet with the local team there (now called Noah's Ark Ministries
International or NAMI) who are making news about their announced
discovery (complete with photos and video footage) on Mt Ararat
of chambers lined with substantial amounts of wood, under ice
and rock, and above the treeline, and above the permanent snowline.
If you missed our intermittently
updated article on this (it's added to at the bottom of the
article as significant things occur—e.g. the 28 May addendum
provided links to an Amsterdam conference with NAMI), then see
creation.com/is-it-noahs-ark
—also accessible from the front page, just under the ‘in
the news' box.
Via contacts in Hong
Kong, there has been tentative talk of CMI being invited to
attend a June forum (and press conference) in Turkey, along
with various scientists and archeologists from the Turkish government.
We respect NAMI's passion for the gospel, which appears to have
led them to more or less take a stance in public that this
is the Ark, till proven otherwise (the same stance was taken
in Amsterdam by the Turkish archeology academic). NAMI has provided
answers to several aspects of earlier claims that a detailed
hoax had been played on them. Despite this, however, nothing
to date has definitely ruled out a hoax, with some talk now
of wood from very old remote buildings having been hauled up
there over many months and progressively planted in a cave.
We really appreciate
this opportunity to spend private time face-to-face in depth,
something very necessary before there could have been any consideration
of making a commitment of personnel time/costs—and before lending
the ministry's name to the claim, directly or indirectly.
We will be seeking detailed answers to many specifics, with
those who were there and took the pictures, etc. We believe
that it is on the basis of such further intensive private enquiry
that we can perform the appropriate ‘due diligence' on behalf
of our supporters. So we are very grateful to NAMI for
granting time for CMI in their busy schedule. We are particularly
appreciative because we understand that the hoax allegations
are especially sensitive and painful issues for them. Carl
reports that he has already spent a full day observing large
numbers of secular people being exposed to very well-presented
truths about not just the Ark and Flood, but about the person
and work of the Lord Jesus, through the tireless efforts of
the people behind NAMI.
Please pray about
the outcome of the liaison in Hong Kong, for sensitivity
and wisdom in all things, and that whatever the outcome of this
Ararat situation, God will be glorified. |

Q:
Can creationists be “real” scientists?
A: Although evolutionists interpret the evidence in light of
their belief in evolution, science works perfectly well without
any connection to evolution. Think about it this way: is a belief
in molecules-to-man evolution necessary to understand how planets
orbit the sun, how telescopes operate, or how plants and animals
function? Has any biological or medical research benefited from
a belief in evolution? Not at all.

Q:
Are there gaps in the Genesis genealogies?
A: Because so many Christians and Christian leaders have accepted
the secular dates for the origin of man and the universe, they
must work out ways that such dates can somehow be incorporated
into the Bible's historical account. In other words, they must
convince people that the Bible’s genealogical records
do not present an unbroken line of chronology. If such an unbroken
line exists, then we should be able to calculate dates concerning
the creation of man and the universe.

Bacteria
‘evolving in the lab’? ‘A poke in the eye
for anti-evolutionists’?

Some bacteria cultured in a laboratory have gained the ability
to use citrate as an energy source. We have had lots of queries
about this matter, so this is our weekend feedback to all those
who have asked.

Hope 08 in Brixham
Offering coffee,
tea and cakes in the Christian Community Centre, Fore St, many
talented younger members of the United Reformed Church in Brixham
stepped up to perform a wide range of well rehearsed songs,
music and dance routines, whilst the quiz was more spontaneous,
demanding a broad musical knowledge, as questions from Queen
hits to Carmina Burana were fired at the audience.

Where Does the Ice
Age Fit?
If you ask
a youngster the question, “Was there really an ice age?” they
might say rather quickly that there was. Then they may tell
you that there were two of them. Of course, if you listen much
longer, they will tell you that they saw both of those movies
in the theater.

Is
antibiotic resistance proof of evolution?
It is true
that certain bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics. On
the surface, this may seem like evidence for evolution. After
all, these bacteria seemed to have “gained” something—a resistance
which they didn't have before.
