SMALLEST LIFE FORM DISCOVERED
Mark 8:7-8
"And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them. So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets."
A bacterium has recently been photographed that is so tiny, researchers have debated about whether it could even exist. The bacterium has a volume of only .009 cubic microns. To put that into perspective, a micron is one millionth of a meter. This means that more than 150,000 of them could fit on the tip of a single human hair.
Despite their small size, these bacterium have everything they need to survive and reproduce. And what they don't have, they borrow. For instance, these bacteria have tiny string-like structures called pili. Scientists suspect the bacteria use these pili to link up with other microbes so they can borrow key nutrients from them.
Now, don't let evolutionists tell you it would be easy for evolution to produce a life form as tiny as this bacterium. If anything, its small size speaks loudly of an incredibly intelligent Creator. Consider, for example, the phone in your purse or pocket. Today's typical smart phone is so technologically advanced, it has far more computing power than computers from the past that filled up entire rooms. And they can do far more than make phone calls. Hey, we call them smart phones for a reason!
Little things can accomplish astonishing things in the hands of a great God. Jesus took a few small fish and used them to feed thousands. God took a little boy and used him to vanquish a giant. So don't ever think you are too small or insignificant to do great things with God.
Heavenly Father, from the tiniest life form to the greatest galaxy, You have created them all! Amen.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO ERASE JESUS FROM HISTORY
Psalm 50:22
"Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver."
When most of us were in school, everybody knew that the terms "BC" and "AD" meant Before Christ and Anno Domine, meaning "in the year of our Lord." But those terms are disappearing as authors now prefer the terms "CE" and "BCE", which are abbreviations for "Common Era" and "Before the Common Era."
As the online encyclopedia Wikipedia points out, "since the later twentieth century, use of CE and BCE has been popularized in academic and scientific publications." It is also being used "by publishers wishing to emphasize secularism and/or sensitivity to non-Christians." In other words, they are changing the terms to erase Jesus from history under the guise of not wishing to offend anyone. The secularists, on the other hand, have no qualms about offending Christians.
This is what secularism does. It obscures the truth and even revises history in subtle or overt ways. Applied chemist and creation scientist Mark Cadwallader says that the use of CE and BCE is "clearly another example of the assault on Christianity. Radical atheists," he says, "have been agitating for freedom from any reference to Christianity and especially its founder. They will disguise and revise history itself to obscure the truth of Jesus Christ."
Here at Creation Moments, we believe that truth will ultimately prevail, but we must all do our part. That's why we encourage you to do everything you can to make all people, young and old, aware of the truth and consistency of a biblical worldview. And keep on using BC and AD!
Heavenly Father, though sinful man is trying to erase Your Son from history, they will not succeed. Someday every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord! Amen.

THE ANTI-THEORY OF EVOLUTION
Colossians 2:8
"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."
When a well-respected scientist says anything that is critical of Darwinism, two things are bound to happen. First, evolutionists will put pressure on the scientist to retract his comments. The second thing is that creationists will quote the scientist to show that even some scientists understand the weaknesses of evolution. This is what we are doing on today's broadcast.
In his book A Different Universe, Nobel Laureate Robert Laughlin, a professor of physics and applied physics at Stanford University, wrote that evolution is anti-science and actually impedes scientific investigation. Laughlin wrote he is concerned that much "present-day biological knowledge is ideological" and cannot be tested.
Here is an excerpt of what he wrote: "Evolution by natural selection, for instance, which Charles Darwin originally conceived as a great theory, has lately come to function more as an anti-theory, called upon to cover up embarrassing experimental shortcomings and legitimize findings that are at best questionable.. Your protein defies the laws of mass action? Evolution did it! Your complicated mess of chemical reactions turns into a chicken? Evolution! The human brain works on logical principles no computer can emulate? Evolution is the cause!"
Now, let me point out that Creation Moments is not saying that Dr. Laughlin rejects evolution. He is merely saying what we have been saying for many years. Evolution is an ideology that is simply assumed to be true. Rather than being a scientific theory, it is an anti-theory that clearly lies outside the realm of true science.
Heavenly Father, evolutionists claim that creationists are anti-science. Help them to see that they are the ones who have abandoned true science in favor of a godless ideology. Amen.

THE BIRD DUNG SPIDER
Romans 5:8
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Though it must surely be one of the most disgusting creatures in God's creation, the bird dung spider is yet another beautiful example of God's design.
Not only does the bird dung spider have a body covered with unattractive warts, the spider often produces a white thread and sits on it, looking almost exactly like bird poop that has fallen on a leaf.
Despite its unattractive appearance, the spider's unique camouflage is a masterpiece of well-thought-out design. First off, by looking like bird poop, the spider is of no interest to a wide variety of potential predators. At the same time, its camouflage brings a steady flow of dung-loving insects within reach of the slow-moving spider. On top of that, the spider is able to attract male moths by mimicking the sex pheromone released by female moths. As one website put it, "Once the male moth gets a whiff of the scent, it will fly towards the smell expecting to find a female moth. Imagine the moth's surprise when the motionless bit of bird dropping comes alive! The spider will use its front legs to grab the moth and then it will devour it on the spot."
Just as the bird dung spider is unattractive to us, so, too, are we unattractive to God in our fallen state. Nevertheless, while we were yet sinners and deserving of God's wrath, Christ died for us. God saved us not because of any beauty He saw in us but because He loved us. By shedding His blood for us on the cross, He transforms us into a new and beautiful creation!
Lord Jesus, by shedding Your blood for me on the cross, You have transformed me into a new and beautiful creation! Amen.

SATELLITE IMAGE OF THE EXODUS?
Acts 7:36
"He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years."
The 40-year-long journey of Moses and the Israelites from Egypt to the land of promise continues to fascinate movie makers. From Cecil B. DeMille's 1923 silent film "The Ten Commandments" to the more recent "Exodus: Gods and Kings", the story of the Exodus never fails to excite our imagination. Even so, there are Bible scholars out there who are saying the Exodus never really happened. Some even insist that the Israelites never set foot in ancient Egypt.
Archaeologists have shown, however, that the biblical account is historically accurate. And satellite image analyst George Stephens even claims that the route of the Exodus can still be seen today through the use of infrared technology.
According to the book The Stones Cry Out, Stephens studied SPOT satellite imagery of Egypt, the Gulf of Suez, the Gulf of Aqaba and portions of Saudi Arabia. On the images, taken at an altitude of 530 miles, he claims he saw evidence of ancient tracks made by "a massive number of people" leading from the Nile Delta that eventually wound up in the Sinai peninsula. He said he even saw traces of "very large campsites" along the trail.
While it is impossible, of course, to know if these tracks were made by the Israelites during the Exodus of Moses' time, the satellite images do demonstrate that large numbers of people could make long journeys through that inhospitable region and on the same route taken by the Israelites.
Heavenly Father, thank You for raising up archaeologists who are confirming the historical accuracy of the Bible. Amen.
