INNOCENT BLOOD
Proverbs 6:16-17
"These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood�"
I'm sure you've heard evolutionists say that all real scientists believe in evolution. Well, let me tell you about a different theory that many if not most scientists believed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries � eugenics. This is the belief that some people groups � like blacks and Jews � are inferior and should be eliminated to improve the gene pool of the human race. In theory, it made sense to many. But when the innocent blood of millions was spilled by Adolf Hitler, suddenly it didn't seem like such a good idea.
Best-selling novelist, the late Michael Crichton, points out in his book State of Fear that supporters of eugenics didn't just include scientists. It included statesmen like Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Winston Churchill, inventor Alexander Graham Bell, author H.G. Wells, playwright George Bernard Shaw and many, many others who were among the elites of society.
Eugenics even had the support of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Medical Association. And let's not forget Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, an organization that continues killing millions of babies every year.
Well, as deadly as eugenics turned out to be, it doesn't even come close to the millions of lives lost because of Darwin's theory of evolution. Not only has Darwinism led to the slaughter of countless millions by ruthless dictators, it even destroys the perpetrators of such cruel acts by giving them an excuse to deny the Bible's account of creation and reject salvation in Christ.
Heavenly Father, I pray that You will help me and biblical-creation ministries like Creation Moments expose evolution as the pseudoscience it really is. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

SCIENTISTS WARN OF IMPENDING CRISIS
Psalm 106:38
"And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood."
Best-selling author of Jurassic Park and many other novels, the late Michael Crichton added a fascinating non-fiction appendix at the end of his novel State of Fear. Listen to how it begins:
"Imagine that there is a new scientific theory that warns of an impending crisis, and points to a way out. This theory quickly draws support from leading scientists, politicians and celebrities around the world. Research is funded by distinguished philanthropists, and carried out at prestigious universities. The crisis is reported frequently in the media. The science is taught in college and high school classrooms."
Crichton then surprises his readers: "I don't mean global warming," he writes. I'm talking about another theory, which rose to prominence a century ago."
What is this theory that � like global warming � was supported by the scientific community? He was talking about eugenics � a diabolical theory that crawled out of the twisted mind of Francis Galton, half-cousin of Charles Darwin. With its core belief that some people groups are inferior and don't deserve to live, eugenics led directly to the concentration camps of Nazi Germany.
A great proponent of eugenics was Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood. She said, "Fostering the good-for-nothing at the expense of the good is an extreme cruelty. There is no greater curse to posterity than that of bequeathing them an increasing population of imbeciles."
Who are these imbeciles she was talking about? Find out on our next broadcast as we look at famous people who believed this so-called scientific theory.
Heavenly Father, I pray that You will bless the efforts of biblical creation ministries that are informing people that Darwin's writings led to the slaughter of countless millions through the pseudoscience of eugenics. Amen.

THE SPIDER THAT THINKS IT'S A SCUBA DIVER
Genesis 6:20
"Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive."
Most spiders use their silk to make webs to catch prey. But there's one spider that spins its silk to make a virtually waterproof sack and fills it with air bubbles so it can survive underwater for hours at a time. In fact, the air-filled sack is so efficient, it allows this air-breathing spider to live virtually its whole life a few inches below the water's surface.
Scientists have known about the diving bell spider for a long time. But a few years ago they discovered that this silken sack is actually able to produce its own air supply. Acting much like a fish's gills, the finely woven sack draws oxygen from the water while letting nitrogen exit the diving bell.
Evolutionists can't explain how the spider learned how to scuba dive and produce silk that makes the diving bell virtually waterproof. Oh, they will say what they always say � natural selection and mutations over millions of years. But creationists have no need of such far-fetched explanations.
The Creator showed His fondness for this spider by giving it what it needs to avoid predators above the water while feeding upon underwater creatures. Now, think about how much more our Creator loves each one of us. He gave us the gift of His Son, who lived a sinless life and then died as a spotless sacrifice on our behalf so we would be found holy and blameless in God's sight through faith in Christ.
Heavenly Father, thank You for providing such a great gift that cost You so much! I don't deserve such a gift, but I humbly accept the love You poured out on me through Jesus Christ. Amen.

THOSE STRANGE NAZCA LINES
Genesis 4:22a
"And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron:"
I'm sure that many of you have seen aerial photos of massive drawings that can only be viewed while flying over the Nazca Desert south of Lima, Peru. Some of these images depict spiders, hummingbirds and monkeys. Others are perfectly straight lines that run as far as five miles. In fact, writes Dr. Donald Chittick in The Puzzle of Ancient Man, "the lines are as straight as our best modern methods of aerial surveying could make them."
Scholars believe the lines were created by the Nazca culture between 500 BC and 500 AD. And this is why most archaeologists find these figures so perplexing. They assume that the Nazca people were too primitive to have known anything about surveying techniques. But as Dr. Chittick points out, "Evidence indicates early surveying was available to the builders of the pyramids in Egypt", and the Nazca people "probably knew about surveying methods" as well.
The question remains of why the Nazca people created massive figures in the desert that could only be seen from an airplane or hot-air balloon. Dr. Chittick points out that researchers have discovered that the Nazca people knew how to make a high-quality black cloth with a very fine weave that could have been used for constructing hot-air balloons. The black cloth would absorb the rays of the sun and heat the air inside.
Sound far-fetched? Considering that the Bible tells us that even the earliest men were building cities and making things of brass and iron, it isn't implausible at all.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the Bible, which gives us a better understanding of the world around us and reveals how sinful man can be adopted into Your family through saving faith in Christ Jesus. Amen.

WHAT YOUR TEARS REVEAL ABOUT YOU
Revelation 21:4
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
Did you know that your tears, when dried and viewed under a microscope, reveal whether you were crying tears of joy, tears of pain, or just peeling an onion?
Photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher discovered what our tears reveal about us when taking pictures of the dried tears of one hundred subjects for her project called "The Topography of Tears". When viewing her own tears, Fisher said they "looked like an aerial view, almost as if I was looking down at a landscape from a plane."
The Telegraph news website points out that "tears contain oils, antibodies and enzymes and fall into three categories; basal, which are released continuously to keep the eyes lubricated; reflex, which occur in response to irritants such as when chopping onions or when getting poked in the eye; and psychic, triggered by emotions."
The website also noted that "scientists have identified that different types of tears are made up of distinct molecules. For example, those caused by emotions contain hormones which act as a painkiller and are released when we are stressed."
Wasn't that good of our Creator to supply us with tears to help us deal with both emotional and physical pain? Even better, He is always ready to comfort us in times of sorrow. Tears are not the result of mutations over millions of years. They were given to us by a Creator who experienced great emotional pain in the garden of Gethsemane and incredible physical pain when He died on the cross for you and me.
Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us tears that can do so much more than keep our eyes clean and moist. I am grateful that You will wipe every tear from our eyes when we are in Your presence. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
