On the post for July 14, 2008 I talk about the futile effort to find Noah's ark on Mt Ararat. The attached article by Bill Crouse admits to not being definite proof but I find it to be compelling in regards to the location of the landing place of Noah's Ark.

Is The Earth Flat or What?
Well meaning Christians, such as those that built the new multimillion dollar Creation Museum in Ohio http://www.creationmuseum.org/, are unfortunately keeping Christians categorised with the Flat Earth Society. Many Christians still believe that the Bible says that the earth is only six thousand years old but the Bible doesn't say how old the earth is. Science has proven that the earth is billions of years old and this causes them to scoff at Christians and Christians loose influence as a result.
Those who promote the young earth theory can make some convincing arguments. They say (and I tend to agree) that the scientific dating processes such as carbon dating are unreliable. Even if that is true there is one method (Tree Rings) that proves conclusively that the earth is older than ten thousand years. Even though that isn't so old it disproves the method that they use.
There is one thing that young earth advocates can not explain, that is the existence of fossils. They can only explain them away by proclaiming that God obviously made the earth to look older than it is. They even say that God created light waves that extend from objects in space so that we can see them despite them being billions of light years away. Well, you say, couldn't God have done that? The answer is no. God can not lie or be deceitful and this is their most compelling failure.
The first two verses in the 19th Psalm is God's endorsement of science and we Christians need to get with the program. The earth is as old as God made it. I don't mean to endorse the scientists themselves but anything that we can prove by observing God's creation is a message from God Himself.

The Worlds Greatest Evil
There are many evils in today’s world. Abortion is many times worse than Hitler’s Holocaust. Murder, homosexuality, drugs, theft, envy, greed and all manor of immorality are a common part of life in our times. We do not trust those that we do business with and for good reasons. They will fix what isn’t broken at great cost to us if we are not weary of their schemes. There are those who are worthy of our trust but bad experiences have taught us that we can not necessarily trust our government, our insurance company, our broker and sometimes even our minister. I could give you several examples of these types of injustices but you no doubt have your own horror stories. Morality today is considered to be whatever one can get away with. All of this has given us a bleak and sinister outlook as to the future but none of these rise to the level of today’s worst evil.
When Jesus was asked which of the commandments were the most important he answered with what is sometimes called the eleventh commandment". He said in Mark 12:30 “And thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. If this commandment were kept by a majority of us then the above mentioned evils would be much diminished but most importantly, If this is the most important commandment then doesn’t it follow that the opposite, which is the denial of God, is the worst evil?
So how is this evil manifested in today’s world? This world is like a speeding rocket heading toward the apocalypse of the Revelation. I can assure you that this evil is not only a passive thing brought about by our apathy. There is an organized effort to convince us to deny God which is inspired by no less than Satan himself and we Christians are obligated to resist it. That evil will take the form of a “One World Government” and a “One world Religion” which is Secular Humanism.
No one is pushing these things you may say but you have been fooled by Satan’s subtlety. The United Nations is working hard to become a universal government and billions of our dollars are being spent yearly in an effort to prove that the universe just sprang up spontaneously and that there is no God. This effort comes at us from many fronts. Not the least of these is Darwinism and what I call the New Darwinism which is Global Warming. Global Warming has become an effort to prove that man is in control and not God and will be used to explain away the apocalyptic events predicted in Revelation. When churches give in to these secular views then they will have fulfilled the prophesy that in the latter days there will be those that have a form of Godliness but will deny the power thereof (2 Timothy 3:5). These weak churches will be susceptible to join with the one world religion because there will be little difference.
If we Christians can’t resist the subtle encroachment of Secular Humanism What will we do when the time comes that the remaining Christians will have to choose between denying God and facing certain Death?
