"Not that I have already
obtained all this,
or have already been
made perfect, but I press
on to take hold of that for
which Christ Jesus
took hold of me.
Brothers, I do not
consider myself yet
to have taken hold
of it. But one thing
I do: Forgetting what
is behind and straining
toward what is ahead,
I press on toward the
goal to win the prize
for which God has called
me heavenward in
Christ Jesus.
" -philippians 3:12-14

    the homie that went out! II


    Tuesday:

    We decided to go swim today! then after that we attempted to go to the food court at E2 to try the HungryJacks place which was featured on 8days. ermmm... it was ok only lah! haha. i feel abit cheated.

    left to check out some books at 'Baptist Books' , located between United Square and Novena Square, along the tour agencies and the pubs. Pretty good selection of books :D and there was a sale! YAY! hahha. i bought nothing cos i was on a budget tho.

    after that, back to babysitting and resting our tired and unfit bodies, then off to the talk on Dinosaurs and the Gospel by Mr David Prentice at Jericho! Was happy that there were quite a few visitors! WOH! i tell you, the talk was pretty mind blowing! it was very scientific...alot of terms that i cannot and will not be able to memorise -.- but in general he debunks many myths and hypothesis of scientists..there are mainly 2 groups of dinosaurs, differentiated by the pelvic bone structure, though many giant reptiles which were mistaken as dinosaurs. and he also showed that through his archaelogical finds all over the world and also records of paintings in history there were indeed such animals. And he gives clear, biblical and scientific explanations..

    some interesting facts:

    - Even in recent history, and currently, there are evidences of giant, massive reptiles in the deep forests of such as that in Zimbabwe.

    - he had found bones of 34000 dinosaurs all in a meandering pattern, in river deposits in China, implying that they were likely washed off (and drowned) in a river, pointing to the existence of a world wide flood.

    - the DNA of the human gene is only getting more damaged over the centuries, and it could probably just last a few more centuries. But in the beginning, God had made Adam with that perfect DNA , which was able to continue this lineage until now...

    - in the book of Job there were mentions of 2 specific creatures - Behemoth and Leviathan.




    Job 40
    15"Behold, Behemoth,[c]
    which I made as I made you;
    he eats(S) grass like an ox.
    16Behold, his strength in his loins,
    and his power in the muscles of his belly.
    17He makes his tail stiff like a cedar;
    the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
    18His bones are tubes of bronze,
    his limbs like bars of iron. 19"He is(T) the first of(U) the works[d] of God;
    let him who made him bring near his sword!
    20For the mountains yield food for him
    where all the wild beasts play.
    21Under the lotus plants he lies,
    in the shelter of(V) the reeds and in the marsh.
    22For his shade the lotus trees cover him;
    the willows of the brook surround him.
    23Behold, if the river is turbulent he is not frightened;
    he is confident though Jordan rushes against his mouth.
    24Can one take him by his eyes,[e]
    or pierce his nose with a snare?

    Job 41
    1[a] "Can you draw out(A) Leviathan[b] with a fishhook
    or press down his tongue with a cord?
    2Can you put(B) a rope in his nose
    or pierce his jaw with a hook?
    3Will he make many pleas to you?
    Will he speak to you soft words?
    4Will he make a covenant with you
    to take him for(C) your servant forever?
    5Will you play with him as with a bird,
    or will you put him on a leash for your girls?
    6Will traders bargain over him?
    Will they divide him up among the merchants?
    7Can you fill his skin with harpoons
    or his head with fishing spears? (continue onto the end of the chapter...)




    And he told us how God was telling Job of how great He was. And after this, Job finally came to his senses, and stopped blaming God and repented and recognised God as He was.

    - contrary to popular belief and what the media has portrayed, the T-rex is actually not a giant, carnivorous animals that chases its prey quickly (like in Jurassic park). Given its size and bone structure, the fastest it can run is approximately on 20km/hr (!) and even though the teeth of the T-rex is long, half of it was covered in its gum, so it would be unlikely that the T-rex ate giant animals. It is predicted that it likely eats very small animals or is a savage hunter. Heh!

    - When God commanded Noah to bring a pair of each species of animals, it was possible for dinosaurs to be there because a baby dinosaur hatched from its egg is about the size of a chicken.

    oh there are so much more things! also about fossil layers! and i could just go on and on!!!

    His conclusion was very simple, and he concluded with the Gospel... how the magnificent God could make every bit of the Earth and the galaxies, and at the same time make that dna that runs in our bodies... And yet He loves us and offers us His Son so that He can redeem us..

    Talked to him abit while he was preparing to leave- He will be returning to U.S to teach Physics and Chemistry- but not Creationism because it is forbidden to talk about God in school, and he talks about the ironic fact that the people in China gladly welcomed him to talk about Creationism...
