A taste of Alaskan Fashion

I'm sure most of you who have been to Alaska know that you have to dress heavily for warmth in the winter,If you don't and have been here,you don't know Alaska's personality then.

My sister, brother-in-law, and I decided to take a walk down to the slough,and we had to dress warmly. I have not bought any winter clothes yet so heres a list of what I wore. It's pretty nuts if you ask me but then again,some nutty things have become a trend!

Leggings,leg warmers, pink camo capris, jean skirt,t-shirt,sweater,heavy winter coat, and some good winter boots. If you don't believe me that this combination is pretty nutty take a look at this!

That there,Is Alaskan Fashion.

The oldest dinosaur.

Romans 1:25


Many people mistakenly believe that dinosaurs prove evolution. After all,dinosaurs are strange creatures and seem to represent a very different world from the one we know today.But recent discovery of the most ancient dinosaur challenges this.

The oldest dinosaur ever discovered was about six feet long and weighed about 300 pounds.Scientists had never before seen a complex skeleton of the creature they called Herrerasaurus. But being the most ancient dinosaur,perhaps the dinosaur from which all others evolved,evolutionary scientists expected it to be much less advanced than later dinosaurs.What they found out was yet another well-designed creature.

The meat-eating dinosaur had excellent teeth,like those of a shark; its jawbone had a double hinge so that it could easily hang onto its prey.These sophisticated features weren't expected in such an ancient dinosaur. This is yet another proof that all creatures were well-designed from the beginning. Herrerasaurus is yet one more example of the impossibility of evolution.

Dinosaurs,just like all other creatures,were created by God during the first six days the universe existed. This means that dinosaurs and humans once shared this earth in the recent past.All things were created in a perfect state, so there was no need for evolved improvements. The changes we see since creation are not due to evolution but due to degenerating effects of sin.

Feline Secrets

A recent survey of pet owners revealed that more Americans now have cats as pets then dogs.While dogs may be "man's best friend",cats have,in certain cultures,been considered the companion of choice.

Scientists have found that the popular belief that a cat's whiskers measures the width of space it is about to enter is in error.Cats have 25 to 30 long whiskers on their heads.Each whisker is attached to its own nerve in the skin,allowing the cat to pinpoint every twig as its maneuvers through the underbrush.

A steady stare between two cats can be understood as a challenge.But a slow blink is a sign of acceptance.If you have a cat,try slowely closing your eyes and opening them again;you may find that your cat will return your signal as a sign of friendship.And did you know that you can use your cat to tell temperature of a room?Dr Hans Precht,a German animal expert,found that if the room's temperature is above 70 degrees,a cat prefers to lay in a straight position with head lifted and paws extended. From this point, the coller the room,the more the cat curled into a tight ball with its head against its hind leg.

Thankfully,God knows we need companionship.After all,He created humans for the very purpose of having caompanionship with himself.But we are not like pets,for He spared nothing,not even the life of his Son,to save us from our sins.

natures shark repellent

Over the centuries humans have tried different strategies to protect themselves from sharks.Butit's no secret that shark repellents simply don't work.But now scientists have learned,from a lowely fish no less,that repelling a shark is as simple as washing his mouth with soap-released from a squirt gun,of course.

The Moses sole,a slow swimming,apperently defensless little fish,lives in the Red Sea.What puzzled scientists was that such seemingly easy prey never seemed to be bothered by predators.Researchers wanted to know what the Moses sole's secret was,so they offered one to a sharks in a laboratory tank,knowing that sharks will eat anything.Sure enough,the sharks grabbed the sole, but just as quickly they let go.More study showed that the sole releases a milky,detergent-like substance from the pores in its skin.As soon as the shark got a little of the detergent in its mouth,it wanted nothing more to do with the sole.

While the soles detergent is poisonous,researchers found that it's the detergent not the poison that drives the sharks away.They have found that a commercially availavle detergnt works even better then the sole's defense.

Just as the shark cannot be tamed,neither can our sinful deeds.This is why God encourages us to stay away from opportunities to sin.He doesn;t want us to suffer the necessary consequences of sin.

the animal that confused scientists




Sometimes God's imagination is so creative that even the Scientists are stumped by the results.One such example is the colugo,an animal that scientists tried to place in three different families before they finally gave up and designed a whole new family for just one strange creature.


Scientists agree that the colugo is a mammel.But beyond that,they're stumped.For a while they had classified the colugo as a bat,because it had a membrane that it uses for gliding.Bur upon closer inspection,it was clear that the colugo was not a bat.The colugo had both front and hind legs and a tail that are all used to stretch the membrane of the cat sized animal to a width of four feet.Based on this,scientists thought it might be a lemur with wings,so they classified the colugo as a primate. The strictly vegetarian colugo is not a lemur,however. So about 50 years ago,scientists decided to give the colugo its own classification-Dermoptera,meaning "skin wing."

Scientists classify animals according to an imagined evolutionary history-the most popular school of thought today. This doesn't prove evolution;it is simply arranging simular things together,just as kindergarten children do as they learn about different objects. But the colugo is such a testimony to God's imaginative creativity that scientists have not been able to find anything that even remotely resembles this strange and wonderful creature.

The mountain of mists

Genesis18:14a

Deep in the Venezuelan jungle,60 miles from the nearest settlement,it appears God decided to plant a very special garden.That garden grows on a mountain that rises 7,000 feet on sheer cliffs above the jungle.The mountain,rising eventually to 9,000 feet,is the highest mountain in South America outside the Andean mountain chain.

Called the Mountain of Mists,this horseshoe-shaped mass features a 25 mile long river valley that is just as deep as North America's Grand Canyon.The mountain is remote and hard to reach that it was virtually unexplored until 1984.

Scientists have found that over half the species of living things found on the mountain are new to science.Some are unike any other creature ever seen on earth.A plant called the Nebinaria resembles a large artichoke standing four feet above the ground on a thick stalk.Four foot carnivorous pitcher plants,giant earthworms,and long legged frogs add to the uniqueness of the place.Rainfall has washed most of the nutrients from the soil,but many plants make their living by producing their own soil in the center of their leaves,while others live off of the air itself.

There is absolutely no limit to God's imagination.Whether the problem to be solved involves inventing creative ways to allow plants to survive,or whether it's a personal problem that seems beyond solution,you Creator is more than willing and able to help you.Seek him in the Bible today.
