Arrested For Reading The Constitution

Only pro-war groups are allowed freedom of speech in police state Amerika as cops kidnap people who recite the very document they swore an oath to protect and uphold

Peaceful onlookers were arrested by police for reading the Constitution while a pro-war group was allowed full freedom of speech in Washington DC recently in another flagrant example of how American cops are now the enforcers of a tyrannical police state

Police are required to swear an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution but this didn't stop them from kidnapping members of the Code Pink group

Five members of Code Pink were arrested, one for reading the Constitution, as police refused to say what the charges were and refused to answer any questions while demonstrators were hauled into paddy wagons

"Screw you, anonymous coward. I served my country honorably and proudly - and with my head, not my knees. Dissent is patriotic

clipper's remarks: Makes me wonder what courses they offer. Possible offerings might include "Chemistry Interpreted Through Chicken Entrails", or perhaps "Demonics and Economy". What a laugh.

Exorcising Our Demons

Many Evangelicals Are Too Skeptical of the Demonic

The fall movie lineup included the first major release from a Biola graduate — The Exorcism of Emily Rose, directed and co-written by Scott Derrickson, who earned degrees in communication (1989) and humanities (1990) at Biola

It’s based on a 1978 court case that tried a German priest for the death of a girl on whom he attempted an exorcism. The lawyers debated whether the girl was mentally ill (so in need of medical treatment) or demonically possessed (so in need of an exorcism).

Oddly, while non-Christians are becoming more open to the supernatural, part of the church — the church in the West— is becoming more skeptical. This concerns many Biola alumni and professors, like Arnold, who believe that Christian academia has been swayed by the “philosophical naturalism” of secular academia.

Distant space crash doomed the dinosaurs

A collision 160 million years ago of two asteroids orbiting between Mars and Jupiter sent many big rock chunks hurtling toward Earth, including the one that zapped the dinosaurs

scientists believe that catastrophe eliminated the dinosaurs, which had flourished for about 165 million years, and many other life forms

this event then paved the way for mammals to dominate the earth and the eventual rise of humankind

US and Czech researchers used computer simulations to calculate that there was a 90% probability that the collision of two asteroids - one about 170 kilometres wide and one about 60 kilometres wide - was the event that precipitated this disaster

The asteroid Baptistina and rubble associated with it are thought to be leftovers

researchers looked at evidence on the composition of this meteorite and found it consistent with the stony Baptistina

there also was about a 70% probability that the prominent Tycho crater on the moon

was also carved out by a remnant of the

collision
