Billy Graham remains hospitalized with internal bleeding.
According to the AP:

Evangelist Billy Graham remained in fair condition Tuesday, a day after experiencing a second episode of intestinal bleeding at a hospital near his home in the mountains of western North Carolina, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Graham, 88, had “an uneventful, good night” after the Monday morning episode, and his condition was unchanged Tuesday morning, said Merrell Gregory, a spokeswoman for Mission Health & Hospitals in Asheville.

10 Commandments on film… again

The 10 Commandments are coming to the film… again.
With the original movie and the Prince of Egypt, I’m not sure why the story needs to be told on the silver screen again but it may be worth checking out. Christian Slater does the voice of Moses in this animated retelling of the Exodus story. The animation looks more like a computer game than most other animated movies coming out today…

ABC talks to The Edge


ABC’s Nightline talked with The Edge of U2 recently about what songs were on his playlist.
The Beatles, The Skids and some great American bands top the list.
There’s also footage of ABC’s interview with The Edge and Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day before they helped open the Super Dome last year in New Orleans.

People and playgrounds spontaniosly combust all the time

From the DMN, weird news out of Arlington….

ARLINGTON – The sudden heat wave has brought something more menacing than sunburns and higher electric bills. The latest sign of summer just might be spontaneous combustion.

Fossils challenge evolutionary record

From the BBC:

Two hominid fossils discovered in Kenya are challenging a long-held view of human evolution.

According to the article,the hominid Homo habilis was previously thought to have evolved into the more advanced Homo erectus, which evolved into us.
Now, habilis and erectus are thought to be sister species that overlapped in time.

“Their co-existence makes it unlikely that Homo erectus evolved from Homo habilis,” said co-author Professor Meave Leakey, palaeontologist and co-director of the Koobi Fora Research Project.

It is still widely believed by evolutionists that the Homo sapien (modern man) evolved from Homo erectus.
The new Homo habilis find was dated to nearly 1.44 million years ago.
Yet, here’s an interesting Q&A from the Creation Evidence Museum in Glenrose:

Q: If fossils are dated, by Carbon 14 decay, to be millions of years old how can homo sapiens be contemporary with a species such a ‘carcharodon megalodon’ or any other prehistoric creature?

Answer: Acceptance of the Gap Theory or any other compromise position between the divinely-inspired creation account of Genesis and the fallible evolutionary assumptions of man is really a question of ultimate authority–God’s Word or man’s word (see Rom. 3:4).
In response to the above question, let me state the scientific truths that: (1) the Carbon-14 dating method is not used–especially by evolutionists(!)–to date fossils which they would consider millions of years old, because it is accurate only to about 4,500 years ago (the calibration range given by the bristlecone pine tree) due to C-14’s relatively short half-life of 5,730 years; and (2) no fossil has ever been scientifically proven empirically to be millions of years old. These supposed absolute dates are founded upon well-known and publicized errors which plague all radiometric-dating techniques, including the unobserved assumptions of no original daughter isotope, a constant decay rate, and a closed system (i.e., nothing entering in or leaching out of the rock sample at all).

First this: God created the Heavens and Earth—all you see, all you don’t see. Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God’s Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss…
God spoke: “Let us make human beings in our image, make them reflecting our nature so they can be responsible for the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle, and, yes, Earth itself, and every animal that moves on the face of Earth.”
God created human beings; he created them godlike, reflecting God’s nature.
He created them male and female.
God blessed them:
“Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take charge! Be responsible for fish in the sea and birds in the air, for every living thing that moves on the face of Earth.”

Bonds has the juice

The San Fransisco Chronicle added an interactive story element to their coverage of Barry Bonds breaking Hank Aaron’s homerun record (bore…. Bonds, not the interactive element).
The paper asked readers what their opening sentence would be if they were covering the story.
I think that’s a great idea – but not as great as this suggested opening…

“Bonds showed the world he has the juice as he cleared 755 and creamed nay-sayers.” – Claudia Bodmer (San Mateo)
