ARISTOTLE’S UNMOVED MOVER _______________ The Greek philosopher Aristotle was one of the first philosophers to address the issue of the causation of the universe. According to Aristotle everything had a cause that brought it into existence. In turn that cause had a cause that created it. This chain of causation extends back into the past. However, that chain couldn’t be past eternal as one first cause was necessary to initiate the chain of causes. This, he named the unmoved mover, “ὃ οὐ κινούμενον κινεῖ” translated into “that which moves without being moved”.

Did the Cambrian Explosion Really Happen?

The deniers of the well-established scientific consensus rest their argument on the recent publications of a few maverick paleontologists.

SERPENTS THAT HAD THE WINGS OF A BAT _________________ Herodotus, respected Greek historian who lived in approximately 450 B.C., once wrote: “There is a place in Arabia…to which I went, on hearing of some winged serpents; and when I arrived there, I saw bones and spines of serpents, in such quantities as it would be impossible to describe. The form of the serpent is like that of a water-snake; but he has wings without feathers, and as like as possible to the wings of a bat (n.d., emp. added).” Herodotus recognized that such creatures were not birds, mammals, or insects—but reptiles with wings. _________________ #grownostr #plebchain #nostr #history #cyptid If you find value in my notes and articles please like, boost or follow!

NOT YOUR AVERAGE RIPPLES ON THE BEACH _______________ An aerial photograph of the West Barr area on the western side of the Columbia River in Washington state. This area is a large version of the current ripples you may see at a beach or river. However, these ripples are over 24 feet tall and spaced 360 feet apart and were formed by huge floods that carved out a large part of the state. The massive current required to form these giant ripples would have been at least 600 feet deep and flowing at over 65 miles an hour. _______________ #grownostr #plebchain #science If you find value in my notes, please like, boost or follow!

WON’T EVEN LIFT A FINGER _______________ In the depiction of God’s creation of Adam by Michelangelo, it goes unnoticed the subtle differences in the two hands. God’s hand is on the right and is eagerly reaching for the finger of Adam, on the left side of the fresco. Adam, however, is not reaching for God’s touch. Adam is displaying the trait that is in all of us, pride. It is pride that makes us not even lift a finger to connect with God the way he wants us too. It is our failed belief that we don’t need God to exist… That we exist without our creator’s hand. This premise is as absurd as the painting existing without the painter. _______________ If you find value in my notes and articles please like, boost or follow!

UNFOSSILIZED SOFT TISSUE HAS BEEN FOUND IN DINOSAUR FOSSILS _______________ “It smelled just like one of the cadavers we had in the lab who had been treated with chemotherapy before he died.” That was the description that Mary Schweitzer gave to describe the odor that was coming from a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton that was excavated from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana. Schweitzer was working as a researcher at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana and was examining the medullary bone of that skeleton when an assistant put a fragment of the bone in dilute acid to clean deposits off. What they found in the decalcified bone was soft stretchy material something not expected in solid mineral deposits. This led them to decalcify other bone samples, what they ended up finding was a soft stretchy fibrous matrix that was inside of the bone when the T.rex was alive.

NOAH’S ARK DROGUE STONES _______________ The Durupinar site in the Middle East has many landmarks that have been associated with Noah's Ark over the centuries. Among these are the Arzap drogue stones, which are large standing stones found near the site. These stones were believed to have been attached to the ark and used as sea anchors or drogue stones. They are heavy and flat with a hole for tying a line at one end. Drogue stones were the equivalent of a storm anchor on an ancient ship and kept it stable in rough seas. The stones were continually used in ancient times after the possible flood and can be found in places like Israel and the Nile River in Egypt. #grownostr #plebchain #apologetics #Bible #history _______________ If you find value in my notes and articles please like, boost or follow!

THE CHAOS IN OUR LIVES DOES NOT DISPROVE A DESIGNER ______________ I saw a car wrecked on the side of the road.  It was a Ford.  There was much destruction, it was on fire, seeming chaos, and the people within lay dead.  Some fanatic came up, claiming the vehicle was built by Ford Motor Company.  I highly doubt that.  The vehicle came about by random chance and endless combinations of metallic parts.  I mean, if there really is a Ford Motor Company, one would expect them to build cars that work and are not smashed or on fire!  I just don't see any evidence for such a benevolent Company.  This crazy fanatic next to me claimed that the Company built the car just right, but that later the owner misused it, which led to the destruction.  I then asked, "Then why doesn't the Company just force all drivers to do exactly what the Company wants?"  He then said I would be complaining about the Company being tyrannical, if it did that.  What an idiot!  I think every scientific, free thinking, rational mind knows there is no such Company as Ford Motor Company.  I am totally willing to accept it, if there is such a Company, but I do not see ANY evidence for it.  What?  The Ford logo?  Well, again, that is just chance. Randomness that uneducated people see as creation and order and design?  What?  Ford logos on the leather and interior and under the hood?  Again, wonderful accident.  The beauty of randomness. ~ Anonymous People have the same argument that God doesn’t exist because there is chaos within our lives.
