Health Care

Today our nation has passed the most radical bill in our nation's history. It was passed by a vote of 219-217. Our nations taxpayer will be paying taxes for four years for medical care that they will not be receiving. This bill will plunge us millions more dollars into debt.
In spite of all of this though God will use this for the better. This bill was passed ONLY because God allowed it to and is using it for the good. He is judging our country for the many years that we have been disregarding his word.

Romans 8:28, And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Charles Darwin (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882)

Today is Charles Darwin's birthday. He was the person who proposed the false and unbiblical theory of evolution. Here is a brief timeline of Charles Darwin's life.
On February 12th 1809 Charles Robert Darwin is born.
In 1817 Darwin's mother dies.
In 1818 He attends Shrewsbury Grammar school with his older brother Erasmus.
In 1825 Darwin's father pulls him out of school to help him in medical practice.
In 1825 He goes to the University of Edinburgh.
In 1827 Darwin leaves the medical university to go to Christ's College to study for the ministry. During this time he neglected most of his studies. He spent most of his time collecting bugs and reading.
In 1828 Darwin begins thinking about a career in natural science.
In 1831 Darwin begins to attend classes on Geology.
From 1831-1836 Darwin sails on the HMS Beagle visiting South America, Tahiti, and the Galapagos.
Darwin begins to interact with people who share his same view of millions of years.
In 1837 John Gould gave back the samples that Darwin gave him telling him that they were finches with beak variations. After that Darwin began to formulate the idea of Evolution.
In 1838 Darwin breeds domestic animals to study how change happens.
In 1839 He marries Emma Wedgwood.
During the years between 1840 and 1859 Darwin had 8 children, although several died.
In 1859 He published his book "Origin of Species."
In 1882 He died.

And that's the highlights of the person who gave the theory that is linked to abortion. And because of it Hitler, and Stalin the two biggest mass murderers of all time also were driven by the theory of Evolution. I hope in the future I can fully explain that the theory of Evolution is false and should not be accepted as fact.

The Exploration Era - Part 3 Columbus's Adventure's on his second voyage. Part Three.

Now I will continue where I left off on my last post.

Ojeda had snatched a king from his body guard of a thousand or more men with only ten men of his own. Several atempts were made by the Caribs to recapture their chief. But all were repulsed.

The Spanish in the new world were in great need of food and so it was a great joy to see four ships coming in the month of September of 1494.

The King and Queen sent word that they were well pleased with him. Columbus sent back his charts and strange plants that he had found. He also sent back 500 natives that he had captured.

Now the red men soon formed a league and then marched against Columbus to take back the Lord of the House of Gold. But Columbus took a small band and a score of Blood hounds that were trained to rip human flesh against the red men that were five times stronger. The natives were completely defeated.

He then enslaved many natives and forced others to pay a tribute. His main aim was to pay off the debt he owed to the king and queen of Spain.

In Spain many people wanted his position so they spread lie's about him working men to death and making others work while sick and weak.

On my next post I will finish Columbus's adventures on his second voyage.

The Exploration Era - Part 3 Columbus's Adventures on his Second Voyage. Part 2

Now I will continue where I left off on my last post.

Soon the saw land. Most of the natives fled after seeing the ships coming and left food that was much welcome to the hungry sailors who were with Columbus. They asked the natives when they finally came out of hiding where they could find Gold. They pointed south so in a couple of days the neared land. But suddenly as they drew near at least three score men in ten dugouts came at them yelling and meaning war. Now a young red man named Colon who knew both Spanish and the language of the red men soothed the warlike crowd with kind words and gifts. Then they drew near to isle the beach was suddenly filled with natives armed for war. Columbus decided to attack so that the natives would not think themselves more highly than them. So with their guns and crossbows they set them to flight.

Columbus called the island Santiago but now it is called Jamaica. They still thought though that they were near Japan. But the crews were sick and the ships worn down and the food was going bad.

They followed the coast of Cuba and he thought that it was the mainland of China. But Columbus fell ill and they had to return to Isabella.

Now ships from Spain arrived with fresh supplies. Columbus was extremely busy with quelling the strife between the forts and red men. One of the chiefs came and warned him that the chiefs were in league to destroy them. On top of that the Lord of the House of Gold was on the warpath. He could not easily get to his lands for they were on the other side of the island and it had dense forests, deep streams and high rocks that kept invaders out. He sent a man named Ojeda who was a man known to do daring feats. With ten bold men on horse to go and capture the Lord of the House of Gold.

Ojeda got their and became friends with the chief. He urged him to go to Columbus and treat with him. Now Ojeda also told him that if he came that he would give them the bell of the small church in Isabella. Now when the red men heard it calling for mass they thought that it spoke and the white men paid heed to it. Now the Lord of the House of Gold wanted that bell very badly so he agreed. When they left Ojeda was surprised at the enormous force of Armed men that the Lord of the House of Gold was taking with them. When Ojeda Asked why the large force was necessary The Lord of the House of Gold said that it would not do for a great prince to go out with a small train.

Ojeda feared that the Lord of the House of Gold was going to do some dark deed. Columbus either wanted to make peace with him or take him captive so Ojeda thought up a bold scheme. They came to a large stream. and Ojeda brought forth a pair of handcuff and told the chief that they had come down from the skies and were worn by the kings of Spain, and that they were gifts from them. He also said that if he put them on and cross the stream with them on a horse that his tribe would look up to him in awe. The chief was pleased to wear the bright steel and ride the strange animals. Then they crossed the stream and then they rode away as fast as they could. They made it back to Isabella with the Lord of the House of Gold in the handcuffs.

To be continued.
