SCIENTISTS RALLY AGAINST CREATIONIST 'SUPERSTITION' reported the UK INDEPENDENT Sunday, 1 June 2008
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/scientists-rally-against-creationist-superstition-837832.html

"The rise of creationism in Britain to the point where four out of 10 Britons believe it to be the literal truth - as well as the
idea being taught in state-approved schools - has spread alarm throughout the scientific community. But this week sees the start of
a concerted fight back, as an 18-month celebration of evolution and its greatest proponent, Charles Darwin, gets under way, marking
the 150th anniversary of the unveiling of his theory and the 200th anniversary of his birth. People all over Europe will take part
in a mass experiment to discover evolutionary changes to a species of snail; a major series of programmes is to be shown by the BBC;
several books are to be published; and the Open University plans a new course on the subject. Dr Bob Bloomfield, head of special
projects at the museum and a key figure in the "Darwin200" project, said he was concerned by the prevalence of creationist ideas.
"The statistics in this country are quite frightening. If you add up the percentages that either believe in creationism or
intelligent design, it is approaching 40 per cent," he said. "I don't think society can be complacent when ideas which are unsound
are perpetrated. We are trying not to compromise people's faith views, other than where they are absolutely inconsistent with
science."

ED.COM. It's great to be told that our work is succeeding and it even more emphasizes the importance of our DVD project with AIG UK
(see item below). Get behind it now with your financial and prayerful support. And also notice that the scientists are setting out
to undermine the work of creationists alone. The evolutionist is scared of none. Your support is vital.(Ref. sceptics, anti
creation)

150 UK HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS HEAR John Mackay being told; “you’re poisoning the minds of these students – get out now!” as a very angry Laboratory Assistant in one state high School assemble we spoke at finished his tirade during question time with; “There is No God, No Ghosts, and No Father Christmas!” At that point his status as an unprejudiced evidence based questioner came unstuck as his atheistic prejudice took the fore and he lost both students and most of the staff. By way of compensation, at least he got 2 out of 3 right, his outburst definitely ensured students won’t forget that class and an extra large group of students clustered around John Mackay to continue question time, after the lesson finished.

UK HIGH SCHOOL sends out warning letter to parents about controversial creationist John Mackay’s visit to the government school during October. We have been visiting this High School for years without any problems both to talk in class and to Lunchtime meetings. The end result of this warning however, was to double the numbers of students attending a voluntary lunchtime meeting compared to previous years. Some 80 mostly year 12 students, attended the Lecture organised by the creationist Science Master of the school.

NEW UK EDUCATION RULING OPENS DOORS as teachers are informed they can discuss creation in the science classroom if students are told it's not science. Now we and you can take the time to remind students that in the western world, science is defined as naturalistic explanations that leave God out – so creation could never have scientific support on that basis, doesn’t want it and doesn’t need it. Now let’s have a discussion about true or false, and wait to see if the relevant education authorities are brave enough to reveal their true colours and don’t want students discussing if something is true or false .


BUT “THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY SAYS” was a grade 12 students response to what John Mackay taught on the evidence for creation during a class room lecture. The students problem was that the Archbishop was the head of the church of England and he’s not a 6 day creationist and is an evolutionist, so how could anybody believe in creation? Sad old world isn’t it? But as the Bible says there is nothing new under the sun, Jesus was opposed by the religious leaders in his day.

UK PRESS MISSES PUBLIC SCHOOL PROGRAM this year as we have been teaching creation to 7 different high school classes during October, with several still to go. BUT they are starting to notice recently one paper published “ Evolution sceptic returns to Lancashire.” The meeting was packed and a good number of non Christians came, so again thank you the secular press. <http://www.lep.co.uk/news/Evolution-sceptic-returns-to-

COUNCIL OF EUROPE CONDEMNS CREATIONISM, according to a Press Release and Resolution 1580 (2007) of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, 4 Oct 2007 and also reported in Nature News and Nature vol 449, p649, 10 Oct 2007. The Council of Europe is an intergovernmental assembly representing many nations of Europe that does not make laws for Europeans nations, but governments of member nations are encouraged to use its recommendations when drafting legislation. The Council is responsible for the European Convention on Human Rights and their resolution includes this statement: “If we are not careful, creationism could become a threat to human rights which are a key concern of the Council of Europe.” The Assembly goes on to defend the theory of evolution and includes a resolution: “The Parliamentary Assembly therefore urges the member states, and especially their education authorities: ... to promote the teaching of evolution as a fundamental scientific theory in the school curriculum.” The scientific evidence claimed for evolution by the Parliamentary Assembly is: “Evolution is present everywhere, from medical overprescription of antibiotics that encourages the emergence of resistant bacteria to agricultural overuse of pesticides that causes insect mutations on which pesticides no longer have any effect.” It also claims “Advances in medical research with the aim of effectively combating infectious diseases such as AIDS are impossible if every principle of evolution is denied. One cannot be fully aware of the risks involved in the significant decline in biodiversity and climate change if the mechanisms of evolution are not understood.”
Council of Europe Press Release: http://assembly.coe.int/ASP/Press/StopPressView.asp?ID=1965

Parliamentary Assembly Resolution: http://assembly.coe.int/Main.asp?link=/Documents/AdoptedText/ta07/ERES1580.htm


ED. COM. Scientific studies of centuries old sealed soil samples containing bacteria which have never been exposed to modern antibiotics have shown that such bacteria already had resistance genes before antibiotics were in use by humans. Antibiotic and pesticide resistance are simply the result of the non-resistant forms being eliminated. Such observations do not explain how bacteria and insects could evolve from non-life and do not even explain where the resistance genes came from. Combating infectious diseases requires true scientific study of living organisms in the tradition of the creationist Louis Pasteur, who proved that spontaneous generation was a myth, proposed the germ theory of disease, and was an implacable opponent of evolution. Decline in biodiversity is the opposite of evolution, and climate change may result in some species dying out, but that is not evolution either. In fact none of the examples by the C of E have anything to do with a theory that claims hydrogen turned into people by natural processes over millions of years. If the evidence offered in the Council of Europe Resolution is the best there is for evolution, it is no wonder the evolutionists need politicians to enforce their teachings, rather than relying on genuine scientific study.

CAMBRIDGE UNI STUDY SHOWS Primary-aged children worry daily about global warming, as well as other stress factors such as school tests, according to an intimate portrait of primary school life, 'Community Soundings', published today by Cambridge University.
http://www.royalsocac.uk/news.asp?id=7201 Science in the News - Friday 12 October 2007


ED.COM Did you worry about the future of the planet when you were this age? Our observation is that this is one more stress factor that will divide the Family as the next generation blame the last generation. Our recommended solution - Parents teach your children Gods real history of the world – particularly emphasising Genesis 8 : 22 where God tells Noah what the weather will be like to the end of the world.


UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON Researcher Anson Mackay, of the Environmental Change Research Centre, has constructed the most accurate high-resolution temperature record of Siberia (Lake Baikal ) over the past 800,000 years. It clearly demonstrates the region has often been considerably warmer than at present. The most recent data shows Siberia first began warming around 250 years ago – well before the industrial revolution, and its resulting greenhouse gas emissions could have been a factor. Mackay concludes, "[Changes] started as early as c. 1750 AD, with a shift from taxa that bloom during autumn overturn to assemblages that exhibit net growth in spring (after ice break-up) ...Warming in the Lake Baikal region commenced before rapid increases in greenhouse gases, and at least initially, is therefore a response to other forcing factors such as insolation changes." http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=9191 October 8, 2007 10:52 AM

ED.COM. this is yet another in a now long line of historical studies which do not support the contentions that modern mans industrial emissions are the key cause of global warming. Given that the scientific historian is merely a prophet in reverse – then time should prove him right in retrospect also! Sadly it will probably be long after he is bankrupt from GW taxation.

GREEENLAND ICE CAP MELT IS A PLUS as “the vast lakes and melting ice cap provide enormous potential for electricity free from fossil fuel and the Greenland government is negotiating with Alcoa, an aluminium company, to build the world's second largest smelter, reported Paul Brown in Greenland via THE GUARDIAN Thursday October 4 2007.

ED.COM. There is profit in even the worst opportunities to the man who can see beyond the gloom. So the Eskimo will not have ice to hunt on to find seal to use their fat for his oil lamps and for food – farming is much healthier - and electric light much better for you and more environmentally friendly – you don’t have to kill seals to have it. God gave man dominion over the His created earth (Genesis 1 :26 ) and we must use it – not to preserve our favoured lifestyles that become irrelevant due to changing circumstances, but to benefit all man and this free green electricity is a good way to go.

NINE INCONVENIENT UNTRUTHS, rules High Court judge about Al Gore’s film, according to reports in Times Online 11 Oct 2007. British High Court judge Sir Michael Burton identified nine incorrect claims in Al Gore’s film on global warming; “An inconvenient truth” in his judgement on a challenge brought by a school governor over whether the film should be shown in British schools. The School governor described Gore's film as "a political shock-you-mentary".

The Judge said that the film should be allowed to be shown, but it should be accompanied by guidance notes that balance Gore’s “one sided” views. The false claims listed in the judgement are: Sea levels could rise by 20ft (6m) in the near future; Pacific atolls have been evacuated; the drying out of Lake Chad, the decrease in snow on Mt Kilimanjaro and Hurricane Katrina and coral bleaching are the result of man-made global warming; the Gulf Stream would stop flowing; changes in carbon dioxide levels and global temperatures were an exact fit for the past 65,000 years; and polar bears are drowning due to lack of ice in the Arctic. More detail on Judges ruling below.

ED. COM. It is interesting that most of the media reports centred on the fact that the High Court allowed the film to be shown in schools, not on the scientific errors or on the new guideline recommended by the judge. If creationists made a film with that many false claims, there would (quite rightly) be howls of outrage, but Al Gore gets an Oscar and a Nobel Prize. There is no doubt that climate change is real, but it has been real for thousands of years, and will continue until the end of the world, just a God told Noah: "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.". Political scare tactics are not going to change this. (Ref. politics, education, law)

SCHOOLS NEAR YOU need you to sponsor A DVD of “CLIMATE CHANGE AND CREATION” Contact info@creationresearch.net why not one to all the schools in the UK?

After the UK Judges ruling that Al Gore's global warming movie had 9 major errors - interest in our Climate Change program has only increased. As one Uni student who is training to be a teacher said he heard us speak at his University on the Biblical history of climate and predict this several years ago. As a result his confidence in the Bible as the real history of God's created earth has really increased. The biggest heresy in the global warming hard sell, is that the Creator God is left totally out of the picture which is why it is promoted mostly by evolutionists. Make sure your friends get to see this great DVD on Climate Change and Creation. It is now available from all offices and from www.creationresearch.net click WEBSHOP.


CREMATORIUMS should be forced to close in an effort to reduce global warming – it is being rumoured in the UK.

ED.COM. We doubt if this will catch on as cremation is usually touted by the same people who promote both evolution and global warming as it is in essence a pagan rite, and we are sure such a link of an enormous source of heat and CO2 will be ignored for convenience.

TAIN SCOTLAND records one of the coldest summers just gone past – as one green house tomato grower lamented to John Mackay in October, over his flavourless crop. With temperature rarely up to 20 Celsius and so much rain, crops were low yield and tasteless. The cause – well we did hear the BBC commentator warn last year(with some scepticism in his voice)that the UK would get colder due to global warming resulting in shifting ocean currents – but I am sure even he didn’t expect it this fast. But since it was also snowing in the Australia Summer last Christmas and frost killed the potatoes in far north tropical Queensland in July, perhaps it has nothing to do with any global warming scenarios at all?


GORE SCORES NOBEL as press reports “The 2007 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to environmental campaigner Al Gore and the UN panel on climate change, the IPCC. Details: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news

ED.COM. The question that should be asked is “what does a movie on the weather have to do with peace? Forgive our untrusting suggestion “that a global problem need a global solution which needs a global government”, but poluticians have tried for years to pull this off and we suspect they see this as their next best opportunity. Sort of detracts from wanting to win a Nobel prize too - doesn’t it? When you can get one for making so many mistakes.


SUMMARY OF GORES ERRORS adapted from

http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2007/oct/11/climatechange?gusrc=rss&

1· Gore: a study showed polar bears were being found that had drowned "swimming long distances to find the ice".

Judge: "The only scientific study that either side before me can find is one which indicates that four polar bears have recently been found drowned because of a storm"

2· Gore : two graphs, one plotting a rise in C02 and the other the rise in temperature over a period of 650,000 years, showed "an exact fit".

Judge: although scientists agreed there was a connection, "the two graphs do not establish what Mr Gore asserts"

3· Gore: the drying up of Lake Chad was used as an example of global warming.

Judge: "It is apparently considered to be more likely to result from ... population increase, over-grazing and regional climate variability"

4· Gore: the disappearance of snow on Mt Kilimanjaro was expressly attributable to human-induced climate change.

Judge: the consensus was that that could not be established

5. Gore: a sea-level rise of up to 20 feet would be caused by melting of ice in either West Antarctica or Greenland "in the near future".

Judge: this was "distinctly alarmist" and it was common ground that if Greenland's ice melted it would release this amount of water - "but only after, and over, millennia".

6.Gore: Low lying inhabited Pacific atolls "are being inundated because of anthropogenic global warming"

Judge: there is no evidence of any evacuation occurring


7 Gore: global warming is "shutting down the ocean conveyor" - the process by which the gulf stream is carried over the north Atlantic to western Europe.

Judge: according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, it was "very unlikely" that the conveyor would shut down in the future, though it might slow down

8·Gore: ascribed Hurricane Katrina to global warming,

Judge: there was "insufficient evidence to show that"

9· Gore: coral reefs all over the world were bleaching because of global warming and other factors.

Judge: separating the impacts of stresses due to climate change from other stresses, such as over-fishing, and pollution, was difficult
