Bible Time/ Christmas

December 25 is another day in the calendar of 365 days of 2009. The planet will spin tomorrow just as it did yesterday. But as a day we have chosen to focus on the birth of Jesus, December 25 can be a day of remembering and rejoicing that God loved us so much that He became man and came to this spinning Earth to save us from the eternal consequences of the guilt of our spinning souls. The Bible says the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem was the beginning of that gift. It had been promised to us in the first moments following mankind’s rejection of God in the Garden of Eden and that promise was complete when Jesus was raised from the dead after offering Himself to God as a sacrifice for our sins. The moment we receive it with simple faith in Jesus alone it is our gift forever.
And so, may all the joy, peace, and rest in hope that God purposes for you to have through Jesus Christ be yours this Christmas.

Darwin Was Wrong, Scientists Argue

Darwin was wrong, a group of scientists argued at a conference in southern California.
Scientists presented evidence over the weekend refuting Charles Darwin's theory of
evolution on many levels – including fossil record, natural selection and the origin of man – and his works in geology and other science areas.
"Natural selection happens but it does not do what Darwin needed it to do," said geneticist Dr. John Sanford. "Darwin built a worldview that has come to be the governing paradigm of the intellectual community; that worldview is now collapsing in the face of new advances in science."
Sanford was among a number of scientists who spoke at the "Darwin Was Wrong" conference at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, Nov. 13-14. The two-day event, organized by
Logos Research Associates, Inc., was held to mark the 150th anniversary of Darwin's Origin of Species, which people around the world have been celebrating this year.
"It is amazing to me that in this ‘year of Darwin,’ the whole world is bowing down to this man even while modern science is proving him wrong on all fronts," said Sanford.
On one front, Darwin was wrong about the origin of man, Dr. Robert Carter argued Saturday.
Carter refuted Darwin's three main arguments, as laid out in Descent of Man, of homology (similar features shared among similar species), embryonic recapitulation (embryo goes through evolutionary stages), and vestigial organs (organs that have no apparent nor predictable function).
He further asserted that Darwin was a "brilliant writer" but not such a great scientist.
"Darwin's greatest gift is not as a scientist; it's as a wordsmith," Carter maintained.
The Atlanta, Ga., scientist, who serves at
Creation Ministries International, also shot down the discoveries of "Lucy," "Ida," and "Ardi" as possible missing links between apes and humans.
Some evolutionists say Lucy was actually a man, citing the shape of the pelvis, Carter pointed out.
"So if they misclassified her as a female do we know if she walked upright or not?" Carter posed, noting that evolutionists conclude from the pelvic bones that Lucy walked upright.
With questions being raised, Carter believes evolutionists are pushing Lucy off to the side and "preparing her to go away."
"They never remove one of these ancestors until they have a replacement," he noted.
Last spring the bones of "Ida" were revealed. She was a lemur-like creature that was labeled as another missing link between apes and non-apes, said Carter. But when the fanfare and media hype died down, scientists realized the skeleton was just a lemur, he pointed out.
More recently, the media has been all over "Ardi," which has been touted by some as the earliest known human ancestor of modern-day man and by far the most complete among those of the earliest specimens found. But Ardi was actually discovered nearly two decades ago.
"Why the media blitz now?" Carter, who didn't grow up a young earth creationist, asked. "I think because they're trying to find a replacement ... to put more missing links in the chain."
So what's left? "Not much," he maintained.
In addition to shooting down evolutionary arguments, Carter offered a "replacement" on the origin of man, using the Bible. The Bible records three historical biblical “main events” that would have left an indelible mark on our genetic makeup: Creation, the Flood, and the Tower of Babel. Research in modern genetics underlines the reality of these events, he offered.
Other arguments presented over the weekend included "Darwin was wrong about science," "Darwin was wrong about God" and Darwin was wrong about the disastrous social and moral consequences of his ideas.
The conference was designed to present scientific evidence highlighting Darwin's mistakes and also to equip Christians with such knowledge.

The Stockton Thunder score once in the 1st. The only goal of the period. In the 2nd, with just 22 seconds into the frame, Andrew Ianero tied the score for the Condors. In the next four minutes both teams scored on power plays, bringing the score to 2-2. In the 3rd, neither team was able to gain the advantage. With neither team scoring in the 3rd, this ensured OT play. Just 35 seconds into OT, Stockton scored, beating the Condors in OT for the second straight night.

Condors Headlines Dec. 4th

Wonderful news about Dan Sexton, and Timo Pielmeier. Keep up the good work guys, way to go! The official "Teddy Bear Toss" count is in. Condors fans rock.


Condors Nov. 28th

The Teddy Bear Toss game was a success in two ways; lots of stuffed animals collected, and another win against the Las Vegas Wranglers for the Condors!
The Condors scored early. All three goals were in the first round. The Wranglers scored once in the second, and once in the third. The Wranglers outshot the Condors 35 to 28, but Timo Pielmeier, the Condors net-minder, was doing a great job.
