Although I'm not committed to either geocentrism or creationism, my readings in recent years have left me surprised at the logic of their arguments and their grasp of the facts. Let's not forget that the famous 'monkey trial' was a biased set-up, with the Christians mocked and dismissed as mere superstious peasants. All that I have read in the last thirty years convinces me that Edward Fesser's description of atheism as 'The Last Superstition' is accurate. The Creationists are plausible in that they accept the Authority of God, although it is an authority falsely interpreted by heretical Christians. The 'Evolutionists' have no authority of any kind (power, yes, the corruption of authority, but that only requires good politics) and not a shred of evidence. The Geocentric issue doesn't keep me awake at night, but Sungenis has amassed a vast amount of supported, referenced data, much of it due to recent telescopy.
I am not committed particularly strongly to what is known as 'young earth creationism' in the sense of that bishop (I think he was a Protestant) who said, a few centuries ago, that the world was created about 4000 BC. Of course, the entire world is created by God and from moment to moment. He didn't just Create us and forget about us. We, nor any other thing, wouldn't have a being for another moment, if He didn't keep us going. Nobody knows how old the Universe is, but as far as I know, Aquinas didn't rule out the possibility of it's being eternal. However, I think his considered opinion was that it could be quite ancient. However, the scientific atheists have completely muddied the waters with their continuous begging of the question (in the original sense of the phrase). How old is a fossil? We determine it by the age of the geological strata in which it is found. How do we know the age of the geological stratum? By reference to the age of the fossils found in it. How do we know the age of the universe? Because it takes light that long to travel from its edge to us. How do we know it is that big? Because the time required for light to travel through a universe that old would indicate it was that big. Begging the question again, while really proving nothing. The only certainty left available to us is Knowledge that has been Revealed. The sooner people accept that Reality, the better. A Christian mathematician of considerable genius proved beyond all doubt, in the last century, that human knowledge is necessarily and unavoidably incomplete. We can't know it all. About time our pre-eminent scientists admitted it. For all we know, that bishop might have been right. The world might be only 6000 years old. Maybe more, maybe less. The recent observations of the James Webb telescope, peering back we are told into the universe of billions of years ago, failed to provide the images required to support this theory. Don't hold your breath for the atheists to go back to the drawing board.
Having commentators whose opinions you can trust is valuable. For me, Scott Ritter or Douglas Macgregor are two of them. Of course, nobody is always right, but they are not wilfully deceptive. My personal experience in ‘real life’ is that in order to get ‘mainstream people’ to think, it makes sense to use mainstream sources. They cannot be so easily discredited as ‘fake’.

The Unz Review is quite a useful resource. Run by Ron Unz, an absolutely anti-Zionist American Jew. All these sites have themselves links to other interesting, non-establishment sites and personages. If a site or blogger is even moderately sympathetic to traditional (non-Zionist) Christian views, which can be said of few mainstream media, it is at least worth a cursory glance.
This is a very interesting take on things. It could very well be so.. Saying that, it is the West that continually provokes Russia. (And in line with prophecy) could well see Russia invade Europe. In my opinion, and given the Wests persistent attacks on Russia via its proxy, Ukraine, I believe Russia has no other military alternative but to go on the offensive. I'm certain the Russian generals will have considered this. Time will tell.
I believe NATO has been led by a pack of fools: who want a full fledged engagement with Russia in the hope of obtaining sole access to Ukraine's mineral rich deposits. This may precipitate the assault of Russia on Europe, a war which will have no clear moral leader, but only horrific consequences. The wages of sin is death. May it all give birth to the great French Monarch!
"Ukraine will likely lose the war within next 12-18 months. Ukraine will not lose the war in a nice, negotiated way with vital territories sacrificed but an independent Ukraine kept alive, sovereign and protected by Western security guarantees. It faces instead a complete defeat, a loss of sovereignty and full Russian control". Robert Kagan (neo-con architect of the United States instigation of war with Russia and husband of Victoria Nuland). The context is an attempt by Kagan to pressurise Trump into some manner of escalation that would reverse this total defeat, this Gotterdammerung of US/NATO/Ukraine. But, how on Earth does one reverse such a catastrophe? All the kitchen sinks have been thrown into the fray and been blown up. Which NATO country has the moral gumption to send in troops into this meatgrinder? How can they hope to fare any better than the battle-hardened Ukrainians? The British (deemed by themselves as dysfunctional, the French (ignominiously driven out of Africa recently), the Dutch (!)? Perhaps the American army, that spent twenty years and trillions of dollars in Afghanistan replacing the Taliban...with the Taliban, before being run out of the place? All are non-runners, so by a process of elimination, Kagan must be making a drive for nuclear war. Post-script: it struck me this morning that, if Kagan is not telling the truth in his statement about the perilous position of the Ukraine (although, I believe he is not actually lying), he would be treasonously undermining the negotiating position of his country. Something surely most unbecoming of a neo-con?
Well said. The idea of the world being 4,000 years old is of course nonsense. As is the idea that this wonderful universe came about by accident.
That's the reason for the absurd multi-verse theories that are floating about. There is not the slightest shred of evidence for a multi-verse. The reason the atheists in the scientific establishment introduce this fantasy is because our universe is so obviously set up for the production of human life, with scores (and they keep finding more) of physical constants and quantities being precisely what is required and without there being the slightest possibility of life if even one of these deviated by the smallest amount. Rather than accept the very clear evidence that this represents Design by an Intelligence (Information Theory, a new, very 'hard' science, tells us that information is an indicator of intelligence), the scientific establishment chooses to propose that there are so many universes (countless trillions would be required) that one conducive to life would be bound to be among them. The theory is philosophically untenable, because as Stanley Jaki pointed out, if the 'multi-verse' was somehow discovered, it would no longer be definable as a multi-verse and would just be a bigger universe, leaving us still without an explanation for the appearance of life within it. A theory that only works because it's unprovable is all they have, while butchering Occam's Razor in the process. They really aren't as 'bright' as they like to let on to us. They also have a huge problem with gravity. There is far too much gravity (which they can't really define) in the universe (well, this one anyway!) for the amount of matter/energy known to be in it. Instead of maybe thinking they might have another look at the blackboard and consider the possibility that their figures are wrong, they are instead doubling-down and have decided to conjure up 'Dark Matter' and 'Dark Energy' out of nowhere, again without the slightest evidence for their existence, with precisely the required amount to account for that pesky gravity. If an accountant did a similar thing with his clients' accounts, he'd be in jail for fraudulently cooking the books. What we seem to have are fraudulent scientists deliberately providing narratives designed for the weakening of the faith of the gullible and lukewarm. They themselves don't believe in God, but that will have absolutely nothing to do with whether they will face Judgement by Him for their actions. As my favourite song-writer has written, "they'll beg God to kill them, but they won't be able to die".
It's all been discussed here and in alternative media, RFK as a messenger won't convince mainstream followers either, but I still find it interesting that he's telling it. RFK Jr. revealed that USAID was actually a CIA front, secretly funneling $5 billion in 2014 to ignite riots in Ukraine. According to him, these CIA-backed riots triggered a coup d'état that toppled Ukraine's neutral, democratically elected government. Just one month before the coup, a leaked call between Victoria Nuland and the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine exposed that she had already handpicked the country's new cabinet. "So they're picking the new government a month before the old government is overthrown." https://x.com/ShadowofEzra/status/1886153128757629157
Putin is right with his statements. This is how it will be and this is how it is, Europe has spineless left-liberal communists in power who run like puppies to their new master when they are threatened. https://x.com/BRICSinfo/status/1886...-will-stand-masters-feet-and-gently-wag-their
The US is implementing new laser systems on military ships. Lockheed Martin's HELIOS (High Energy Laser with Integrated Optical-Dazzler and Surveillance) weapon has been successfully deployed aboard a US Navy warship. Designed to counter unmanned aerial threats, the high-energy laser weapon operates at a cost of only a few dollars per shot https://www.zerohedge.com/military/...ys-directed-energy-weapon-firing-laser-rounds On the other hand, in China, automatic robots are gradually entering society more and more. This is a police robot equipped with AI cameras that immediately record and obtain the identity of persons through the system, and as you can see, they can "hunt" suspects and I believe they will also be equipped with weapons.
The robot still needs a supervisor with a joystick But interesting developments in the world we live in...
It leads one to question why the Chinese need such weaponry against their citizens. Is it possible they are anticipating some civic disruptions? Their economy is not going as well as the leftist media would have us believe, if the reports of huge, empty and decaying newly-built cities are true, with all investments put into them by the citizenry completely lost, are true. The threatened trade war could lead to final collapse. There might be very many angry Chinese, unhappy at the loss of their good times. At least with Mao, they never had good times, so there was no possibility of a sense of loss.
I didn't know where to post this, but as this is a thread about the US instigating war with Russia, I think it appropriate to post an article about the UK instigating the catastrophic Ukrainian 'invasion' of Kursk. https://thegrayzone.com/2025/04/23/uk-intel-ukraines-krynky-invasion/ [I must declare my bias. I am Irish and am not very fond of the British ruling class (for some reason)].
