Global Warming (weather report) Is It?
No commentsBy Shawn Wilson
The Environment is always a hot topic these days, more specifically, global warming.
It seems everyone from scientists, politicians and the media have their view and opinion on what global warming really is and what it is doing to our planet. One thing is consistent throughout - it’s a way to get the public’s attention. We are warned about the dangers of what global warming does and how we are responsible for it.
I for one do no doubt that if we take responsibility for our own waste that the world would be a better place to live in. No arguments there. What I am not convinced of is that ‘we’ are responsible for the rise in temperature that is causing “global warming”. I have read countless of published data wherein scientists vehemently disagree as to who the culprit is.
Some scientists agree that it is all part of the natural evolution of things and there is nothing we can do to prevent or stop Mother Nature from evolving at her own pace.
Others scientists, which are the ones that politicians and the media seem to focus on, who are also in the minority I might add, preach that we are responsible for the raising temperatures across the globe due to fossil fuels, garbage waste and debris; and then finally the remaining scientific groups who are sit on the fence because the have not gathered sufficient information in order to come to a proper consensus. It’s enough to drive anyone mad.
The unfortunate thing throughout all of this is that politicians have been using it as a ploy to get votes where otherwise there would have been none. It has turned into a vicious game and the media join in playing on the negativity surrounding the issue.
The government of course monopolizes this issue by quasi convincing the public that they have single handedly saved us from certain ‘doom’.
Unfortunately, perhaps the real truth of what exactly ‘global warming’ is, is hidden beneath all the lies, exaggerations, falsehoods and misrepresentations.
One cannot know for certain what the true explanation of global warming is, we can only continue to gather information and make informed decisions as to what and where the problem truly lies. Studies are still being conducted as to the nature of this phenomenon called global warming and we may not have conclusive hard evidence until many, many years from now.
The danger now lies with the probability that global warming being blamed on humanity to its exclusivity and will only encourage politicians and government groups to stake their claim even deeper into the unsuspecting public and gaining control over them.

How To Use A Telescope For Research
By Ben Needles
Would you like to do scientific research with your telescope? Do you have a preconception that to do serious research with telescopes needs an astrophysics degree and a telescope costing millions of dollars? Not so, even with a small hobby telescope you too can do great research with your home telescope.
Galileo used a telescope which is much inferior to todays telescopes, even the telescopes your can buy for your home. Galileo saw Saturn with ears, whereas most of the telescopes available today for the home can see Saturn in greater detail. You too can participate in scientific research in the comfort of your own home, and without an astrophysics degree!
* Astronomy Research - The Moon
I love the Moon, especially when looking with a telescope. The Moon is so close to use that the Moon offers us much ability to research. We could research the luminosity of the Moon over the periods of a month, and scale everyday on a chart of maybe 1 to 10 the luminosity.
A bit trickier, would be to measure the Moons distance from us, and is fully possible even with a telescope for the home. You could make drawings of the Moons craters and check up on a map of the Moon to find out what the name of the crater is. You could take a look and find how fast the Moon really moves, by making points in the sky and measuring how long it takes the Moon to travel that arc.
* Astronomy Research - Saturn
Saturn also offers us much research, even for amateur astronomers. You can see the planet over time coming closer and going further. You can see the belt in different positions, you can view different detail, and make drawings. You can look at the moons and find there positions, and figure when they are in eclipse, in relation to you.
* Astronomy Research - Jupiter
Again with Jupiter, we can do similar research as with Saturn. You can look at that giant swirling cloud on Jupiter and use it as an indicator. Then you can find out how long it takes for the planet to revolve. Also you can observe the tilt of the planet which could easily swallow up the Earth many times over. Jupiter has many moons, so Jupiter makes a great point for research as you can see the moons around Jupiter and in different angles at different times.
* Astronomy Research - The Sun
Viewing the Sun with a telescope must NOT be done directly, as the Sun is so powerful in an instant it could render vision useless. The Sun can be viewed indirectly, however, by projecting the Suns image onto a white card or if your telescope is in your house, one way that I have used successfully is to project the Sun to the ceiling. Note it will take time to find the Sun as you can not use any of the lenses to source it into view. It is far too risky and please heed this warning.
When you project the Sun, you can find great detail such as Solar flares on occasion, Sunspots regularly. Over several days and months can see the Sun is an active and living star with constant activity.
* Astronomy Research Without A Telescope
For many years, I did not have telescope, so I was only able to do astronomy research without a telescope. All is not lost and can be great fun. You can monitor Pleiades, the Orion constellation and many other constellations in the sky, depending where you are and what time of the year it is. This serves to prove a great piece of knowledge for when you buy a telescope, as you can navigate the heavens much more easily. The Moon also offers great research without a telescope, as you can see the phases of the Moon, and still measure color, and luminosity.
Amateur astronomy research is fully possible, even with a small telescope. You can make great discoveries, and though they may not make impacts on science, it is fully possible to make a more fun and meaningful hobby. When you add to this a good and disciplined research method of cataloging your findings, you will amass a great amount of personal knowledge on the objects in the heavens. You also may be able to find the next Halleys Comet!

What Is The Mathematical Probability That Man Evolved From An Ape?
By Russ Miller
The more we learn about human DNA the more apparent it becomes that Darwinists are blowing hot air with their claims that some apelike creature lurks in man’s ancestral closet.
Scientists who study such things say that human DNA molecules EACH contain enough hereditary data to fill a 500,000-page book. This data is translated by enzymes, all of which are encoded to protect against mutational defects. Both the genetic data and the enzymes that decode the information had to be there from the very start.
For this reason, gradual evolution makes no sense at all.
Still, Darwinists teach that mankind evolved over long periods of time from some sort of an unknown apelike ancestor, often claiming that Human DNA is 98% the same as the DNA found in a chimpanzee.
Let’s examine the truth and determine if this claim has any integrity or validity.
As far as the integrity of this claim, it was based on only about 1% of the total genome. The 1% that was compared was the part controlling body design. Since people and apes have two arms and two legs, the fact that this portion of their DNA strands is rather similar was to be expected. To promote the claim that this proves we are 98% the same in our overall DNA as a chimpanzee is plainly dishonest and highly misleading.
So what about the viability of the claim that people evolved from apes?
Nature magazine has reported that as real science gets into the genome the wider the gap in genetic similarities becomes between man and ape. In fact, scientific studies reveal that there is at least a 7.7% difference between ape DNA and human DNA.
How big of a difference is that?
Well, consider that you contain about three billion base pairs of genetic information in every single one of your DNA-carrying cells throughout your entire body (Do you really think that this kind of complex data formed without any intelligence behind it?).
Just a 7.7% difference between a human’s genetic data and the gene pool found in a chimpanzee would mathematically require 231,000,000 beneficial and new genetic-information-adding mutations to take place in order to change a chimp into a human.
But not even ONE is possible.
Keep these two facts in mind:
First, science knows of no way for nature to add appreciable amounts of new and beneficial genetic information to an existing gene pool.
Second, so many mutations are fatal that there is no mathematical possibility of stringing together 231 million in a row without exterminating the potential evolving individual.
So why don’t Darwinists stop promoting misleading information and just bring out the real evidence that we evolved from a single-celled creature?
Because there is not any real evidence to back up their claims.
