Intelligent Design Wins

By

Roger Behra

In the American schools whenever the origin of the Universe and man is taught most all the teachers and professors work hard to keep God out of the equation. And that is most unfair to the students. When intelligent design is also taught it is very easy to realize that evolution is full of obvious holes. Without the comparison the students are very much misled. Intelligent design and creationism is greatly provable when properly presented, while evolution is only a theory.

The proof of intelligent design and human creation is their in the Holy Bible. During the seven days God used to complete his plans, He created the Universe. At the same time He created man in His own likeness. None of this happened by accident or over a long period of time. It all happened during a seven day period.

The Universe -sun, moon, stars, and planets- is so vast, so orderly, and so consistent, that it absolutely could not have been by chance. And the fact that it has remained so for and untold amount of time-year after year after year-greatly supports involvement. The billions of stars alone, all remaining in place, boggles the mind. And then there is the rest of the Universe, each part separately, to analyze and consider.

After the Universe was created, God created man in HIS OWN IMAGE AND LIKENESS. The excludes man evolving from apes or some other animal. Science has learned that the physical makeup of man is indeed, very, very complex to say the least. The simplest of cells appear so complex that they could not have been a product of evolution or come from an animal at any time. Darwin did not have any idea whatsoever about man’s very complex cell structure and overall complex physical makeup that could not possibly evolve from any type of animal. His promotion of evolution was a hollow and blind theory, and it still is. During the seven days of God’s creation of the Universe and man, it was orderly and intelligent design that could only come from Him. Nothing happened by accident, so the “Big Bang” theory can be discarded.

It is gratifying to know that many scientists respect intelligent design. They recognize a gift horse when it is staring them in the face. There was too much involved in His creation of the Universe and also the physical structure of man for any of it to happen by mere chance. Since man was created after the Universe, but was in God’s plan, He created the Universe in an orderly and stable way to accommodate man later. And it still does. All realistic thinking people realize that intelligent design (God’s) is the only realistic conclusion. It wins the debate without question.

The Importance of Prayer, By Roger Behra

The Importance of Prayer

By

Roger Behra

A great multitude of people around the world do not have any idea about prayer that prayer can do in their lives, or how to pray effectively. They wander through life oblivious to the importance and power of prayer in their lives hand how prayer can change a life. They do not know how to pray or to whom to pray.

Prayer is a formal request that can be written or spontaneous that asks God, His Blessed Mother, or the Saints for special help, guidance, or gives thanks for a request answered. Prayers can be said at any time, but prayers usually begin the day or at night before retiring. They are also said at church services and before and after meals. And they are certainly said in time of danger and catastrophe.

Recently a survey was taken asking Americans of bringing God back into people’s lives would help in restoring America’s honor and future. Remember, the counter-culture movement started in the 1960’s pushed God out of the way. Fifty-percent of Americans said they did not think so. That reply nearly coincides with the sixty-percent of Americans who do not practice religious living. And the greatly degenerated, immoral, chaotic, and disturbing condition of America’s culture is a direct result of the thinking of 56%-60% of Americans. It is not a coincidence, folks. It is a direct result.

The honor and future of America requires direct involvement with God, prayer, good morals, and with efficient execution of civil function. And the direct involvement with God comes through prayer-individual and group prayer.

Prayer not only brings God into the situation directly, which is most necessary, it will help American’s daily lives to maintain good morality and ethical principles individually. As long as Americans do not think God is most important in improving individual lives and therefore the honor and future of America, it will never happen. All humans are flawed and imperfect, and without God’s help directly through prayer improvement is never possible. We need as much of God’s graces as possible. God puts us on the path to that when He said, “Ask, and you will receive.” Unfortunately, if we do not ask, we do not receive. It’s so very simple.

The following prayer can be said at anytime but especially at bedtime, during a dangerous time, before surgery, or at the point of death. If it is said with true sorrow it means the difference between a happy or unhappy eternity. Memorize it. “Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for all my sins, and I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, who is worthy of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of thy grace, sin no more and to avoid all the occasions of sin. Amen.

America’s Immoral Tailspin, By Roger Behra

America’s Immoral Tailspin

By

Roger Behra

If any American thinks that America is going to reverse course and pull out of her very immoral culture, a recent survey indicates that is not going to happen any tine soon. The survey took place in New York City, and it involved teens in the age groups thirteen through eighteen. The information gathered and recently revealed is both disheartening and sad.

It is bad enough that America´s adults are steeped in immorality. Now the New York City survey adds teens to the list. Teens are America´s future hope of adding a new leaf to America´s culture, but that seems very unlikely.

The New York City survey revealed several disturbing factors about teen sex. There has been a great increase in teen sex that includes teens as young as 13-years-old. That is not surprising considering the increase also in teens being poorly grounded in religious living within their family life and the availability of internet pornography. That is a deadly combination that greatly influences teen behavior along with their peer-group pressure. It is disturbing enough that so many teens are involved in teen sex, but the kinds of teen sex adds to this unacceptable behavior.

The study analyzed 17,220 public health surveys. It found that more than 33% of teens had same-sex encounters. That is very astonishing and very dangerous for teens and very, very immoral teen behavior. Of all the students who completed the survey, 7,261 engaged in sexual intercourse, and 9.3% reported at least one same sex partner. And the behavior was increasingly risky and violent. The survey also showed that students who had both male and female partners have enormous adverse health problems. The varied kinds of teen sexual behavior revealed in the study raised many eyebrows, indeed.

Another alarming outcome of the survey is the fact that so much teen sex and the various kinds leaves teens with the lack of support from adults and peers, and that leads to great depression because of the social stigma.

The bottom line of all of this is teen sex should be avoided at all costs. God doesn’t want it to happen. Parents do not want it to happen. Teens later regret it also. And it is gravely immoral. Aids are a constant worry. Violence can happen at any time. Teen sex is not only morally, socially and psychologically wrong, it can be dangerous and a life changing situation that can never be easily remedied.

Disenchanted American Voters, By Roger Behra

Disenchanted American Voters

With another election coming on November 2, 2010, voter disillusionment in the United States keeps growing as time passes, and the momentum has greatly increased since the year 2000. And the frustration may very well increase after the November 2 election because there are so many propositions on the ballot.

What always rekindles the disillusion and frustration after the votes are counted, especially in California, are the many propositions This November there are nine of them. It never fails that propositions voted into law end up in the courts of law to be decided by federal judges who with the stroke of their pens overturn the votes of millions of voters. That is the discouraging factor.

Several years ago California voters passed Proposition 8 disallowing same-sex marriages. Over seven-million votes were cast in favor of Proposition 8. Now it is in the system and may go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court where there is a good chance Proposition 8 will be ruled unconstitutional. That will anger millions of voters in California.

What is also disappointing and disturbing to a large degree about liberal federal judges making decisions that overturn millions of votes is the personal bias and behavior of some of the judges. In the case of Proposition 8 that concerns gay behavior, an openly gay federal judge presided over a very important matter concerning gays. He did not have the good sense to excuse himself to avoid the impression of a biased decision.

And then there are the despicable personal behavior cases of two other federal judges who were arrested on serious matters. One federal judge had to resign in disgrace when it became known to authorities he was involved in computer activity and gravely immoral activity with young boys. Recently, October, 2010 a federal judge in Atlanta, Georgia, was arrested on drug and gun charges after an exotic dancer at a strip club told authorities the judge used cocaine, marijuana, and other illegal drugs with her. Soon authorities arrested Judge Camp as soon as he handed over $ 160 to undercover law enforcement for cocaine and a narcotic medication that was intended for use with the exotic dancer. Two firearms were also found in the front seat of his vehicle. This is totally unacceptable and gravely immoral behavior from anyone having the trust of the people.

These are recent cases concerning personal behavior and biases of federal judges who are in a position to make decisions of great importance to millions of people. It is totally unacceptable that moral decisions of the voters can be over turned by immoral federal judges. Serious changes must be made soon. Future votes that end up in the courts of law depend on it. And if the courts overturn Proposition 8 and allow same-sex marriages in California a boat load of California voters (7.5 million) are going to be fit to be tied immediately if not sooner. It will be known in December, 2010 after the November election. Now, isn’t that a coincidence? Oh, my goodness, after the November election: (Some quiet laughter here.)

Some Preventable Tragedies

By

Roger Behra

Among all the negative things going on in America’s culture there is one topic Americans avoid discussing as it has gained considerable momentum during the last year alone. And that is the topic of teen suicide. It needs to be discussed, so that corrections can be made. There are good reasons why a teen decides to end a life.

The teen suicide tragedy in most all cases starts with the parents. And that is most likely the reason why the topic is avoided. Parents would have to make big and important changes in their philosophy of life and mode of living.

It is not a coincidence that as more and more parents have avoided religious type living the teen suicide rate has progressively increased. Over sixty-percent Of Americans now do not practice religious living. So there is a definite correlation between parent and teen behaviors. And in far too many cases it ends with a teen suicide.

A 16-year-old softball star hangs herself. A 15-year-old girl stands in front of a moving train. A 20-year-old man lights himself, on fire and jumps to his death off a cliff. A Rutgers University student filmed by fellow students as he engaged in homosexual sex later hanged himself after the films was seen on computers by thousands of people. These suicides are very likely the result of the common reason called the behavioral chain of events. And it always starts with the parents.

Parents do not practice daily religious living. Teen is brought up not as any kind of Christian in a non-religious living environment. Teen doesn’t know that he is creature of God accountable to God for all thoughts, words, and actions. Teen later goes to school and is surrounded by other teens brought up in the same environment and with the same poorly developed consciences and who do not know why they are here, what they should be doing, and where they go after earthly ends. As a result the teens have a very blurry conception between right and wrong and what is correct and incorrect. In the end much too soon teen snuffs out a life and a God ordained destiny.

Now you can understand how it all develops with parental philosophy, behavior, and the resulting childhood and teen home environment. Until parents realize from the very beginning that no religious living in the home environment is a very disastrous way of behaving and living, the teen suicide rate will increase year after year, and that the are basically at fault. Parents must also realize that a non-religious living home environment leads to other criminal behavior that is disastrous also. Parents have to come to their senses and help prevent so many tragedies here on earth and very unhappy eternities later for their children well as for themselves.

Words of Famous Democrats

By

Roger Behra

In anyone wonders why America is in the sad shape she is in all that has to be done is to pay attention to the words and actions of the super liberal Democrat Party and the influential members of that party. The following members mentioned hare are very well known, and the words attached to them in this communication are their exact words. They are the exact words of Democrat Party nincompoops. A nincompoop is a stupid of foolish person, and the Democrat Party is full of them. Read on thanks to Yahoo! Mail, http:us.mc658.mail.yahoo.com/mc/welcome?

The following groups of Democrats are well known and can be classified as famous dynamic duds who harm their party and the culture of America. Here are some of their exact words.

Hillary Clinton: -wife of retired U.S. President Bill Clinton. In 1998 she said “Bill is the greatest husband, father, and no one is more faithful, true, and honest.” Shortly thereafter the White House sex scandal came to light about Bill and Monica Lewinsky for the whole world’s knowledge.

Bill Clinton: -at his impeachment trial. “It depends on your definition of sex.”

Jesse Jackson: -the famous American reverend who cheated on his wife. “That Obama, I would like to cut his NUTS off.”

Al Gore: -retired U.S. Vice-President. “I invented the Internet.” How believable is that?

Nancy Pelosi: -speaker of the House. “You don’t need God anymore. You have us Democrats.” “We have to pass the Healthcare Bill to see what’s in it.” She is called the “MOTHER MORON”.

Joe Biden: -the current U.S. Vice-President and professed Catholic. “The next person that tells me I’m not religious, I’m going to shove my rosary beads up their ASS. “These words of his are such bad taste and very unacceptable.

Barack Obama: -the current U.S. President. “I have campaigned in all 57 states. “Mr. President, there are only 50 states- “America is no longer, uh, what it, uh, could be, uh, and I say to myself, uh, I don’t want that future, uh, uh, for my children!” Instead, he is going to give them a financially bankrupt and socialistic America at a very fast pace.

When well known Americans in high places throughout America give such bad example through their speech and thoughts the impression is very poor at best. It is no surprise that America is quite morally bankrupt as well as financially bankrupt also. This group is a classic example of counterculture behavior-just do or say it whether it is right or wrong. All these people are Democrats who want to replace God as Nancy Pelosi so unashamedly stated.

Cambio Climático de Berlín a Cancún, México Por Angel R. Cepeda D.

Cambio Climático de Berlín a Cancún México

Por

Angel R. Cepeda Dovala

“El Señor es mi Luz y mi Salvación” Salmo 27 [26]

El interés por el Cambio Climático se oficializa en el escenario internacional en Berlín en 1995, de esa fecha se han realizado un total 17 Conferencias sobre el Cambio Climático, considerando la última que se realiza actualmente en Cancún, México 2010. [1]

Algunos antecedentes de la Cumbre del Clima desde Berlín hasta Cancún, para tener una panorámica del recorrido inicial a la actualidad, ver el Cuadro 1, Cuadro elaborado por Tópicos Culturales con motivo de la XVII Conferencia sobre Cambio Climático en Cancún México 2010, esperando que la Luz de Cristo brille sobre las tinieblas y se Dignifique y beneficie a la Persona Humana y el Bien Común.

En Mayo 9, 1922, en New York, US, fue adoptada La Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático (CMNUCC) y entro en vigor en Marzo 21, 1994. En la Convención se fija el objetivo último de estabilizar las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero "a un nivel que impida interferencias antropógenas peligrosas en el sistema climático". Se declara asimismo que "ese nivel debería lograrse en un plazo suficiente para permitir que los ecosistemas se adapten naturalmente al cambio climático, asegurar que la producción de alimentos no se vea amenazada y permitir que el desarrollo económico prosiga de manera sostenible"[2]. Se encuentran adheridos a la Convención 194 países, incluyendo a México, y como observadores dos países Andorra y el Vaticano. [3]. La Conferencia de las Partes (CP) es el “órgano supremo” de la Convención, es decir su máxima autoridad con capacidad de decisión. Es una asociación de todos los países que son Partes en la Convención. La CP se encarga de mantener los esfuerzos internacionales por resolver los problemas del cambio climático.[4].

PAZ Y BIEN
