Unlocking the Mysteries of Creation

The Explorers Guide to the Awesome Works of God

What would you think about having the whole book available with special supplemental features as an

online internet course? Mike Shaffer, a teacher and programmer, is developing a site that can provide a needed service for families online. To see a glimpse of the type of thing being developed... Go to the website: http://www.kingdomeducation.com

Then click on "Online Courses" and select "Christianity" under "Course Categories"... You'll be directed to the Free Course called "Christianity101" by the host of the site, Mike Shaffer... Click on the title line and browse around the course to enjoy the experience.

Imagine having Unlocking the Mysteries of Creation available in this format for students!

If you see the video clips in the free course you'll see how portions of featured videos can be offered too.

Please contact me if you'd like to help develop or promote this tool when it's available.

2 - Chinese Translation of Unlocking

Once all the preliminary plans are worked out it will take up to a year for the book to be translated and redesigned to be distributed among the Chinese people in mainland China. If you are interested in having your own copy of the book in the Chinese language please contact us at mail@creationresource.org or call (530) 626-4447 and asked to be added to the list for this special edition. Please pray for the Lord's direction in all things so the book can be distributed to the widest audience of readers possible. The window of opportunity is open now so please pray that many books can be spread throughout China.

3 - Imagine an Online forum for Free Slide Shows!

Have you ever considered what an advantage it would be to have special segments of important slide shows available online? Topics like origins, sanctity of life, providential history, and truths about many aspects of life that are often confused in the public media these days can be presented for all to see. I'm working with a number of people around the country to bring this together in the next year or so... To get an idea of the impact this kind of service can be you will be blessed to see the inspirational presentations at http://www.theinterviewwithgod.com/ Please pray with me for the Lord's guidance, wisdom, favor and special talent to bring this together. Multiple languages and audio can also enhance the outreach potential of this effective tool.

4 - The Real Reason Evolution Programming is so prevalent = Evolutionists admit their motive is to avoid GOD:

"The theory of evolution is universally accepted not because it can be proved by logical, coherent evidence to be true, but because the only alternative, special creation, is clearly incredible!" scientist, D.M.S. Watson.

“One has only to contemplate the magnitude of this task to concede that the spontaneous generation of a living organism is impossible. Yet we are here—as a result, I believe, of spontaneous generation.” George Wald, Harvard professor and Nobel Prize winner.

"We no longer feel ourselves to be guests in someone else's home and therefore obliged to make our behavior conform with a set of preexisting cosmic rules. It is our creation now. We make the rules. We establish the parameters of reality. We create the world, and because we do, we no longer feel beholden to outside forces. We no longer have to justify our behavior, for we are now the architects of the universe. We are responsible to nothing outside ourselves, so we are the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever and ever." Jeremy Rifkin, Algeny

"We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door." (Richard Lewontin, 'Billions and billions of demons", The New York Review, January 9, 1997, p. 31)

5 - A superb new museum committed to tell 'the rest of the story' is nearing completion in Montana. The Glendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum (right off the interstate from Minneapolis enroute to Yellowstone Park) began last year and will be complete by summer. Exciting exhibits are planned and need the financing of friends who see the excellent outreach potential of this tremendous new Museum. For more info go to the website of Foundation Advancing Creation Truth. It is my great privilege to participate on the board of directors for the museum. The Paluxy trackway will be recreated plus many full size dinosaur skeletons and associated displays that tell "the rest of the story" not seen in typical evolutionistic "temples" across the world. You'll love it. The project needs contributions to complete the exhibits... If this interests you please call and do what you can.

6 - A Bit of wise counsel I wanted to share with you...

Practice Being Like a Child

by Jim Rohn

Remember the master teacher once said 2000 years ago, "Unless you can become like little children, your chances are zero; you haven't got a prayer." A major consideration for adults.

Be like children and remember there are four ways to be more like a child no matter how old you get…

1) Curiosity - Be curious; childish curiosity. Learn to be curious like a child. What will kids do if they want to know something bad enough? You’re right. They will bug you. Kids can ask a million questions. You think they're through. They've got another million. They will keep plaguing you. They can drive you right to the brink.

Also kids use their curiosity to learn. Have you ever noticed that while adults are stepping on ants, children are studying them? A child's curiosity is what helps them to reach, learn and grow.

2) Excitement - Learn to get excited like a child. There is nothing that has more magic than childish excitement. So excited you hate to go to bed at night. Can't wait to get up in the morning. So excited that you're about to explode. How can anyone resist that kind of childish magic? Now, once in awhile I meet someone who says, "Well, I'm a little too mature for all that childish excitement." Isn't that pitiful? You've got to weep for these kinds of people. All I've got to say is, "If you’re too old to get excited, you're old." Don't get that old.

3) Faith - Faith like a child. Faith is childish. How else would you describe it? Some people say, "Let's be adult about it." Oh no. No. Adults too often have a tendency to be overly skeptical. Some adults even have a tendency to be cynical. Adults say, "Yeah. I've heard that old positive line before. It will be a long day in June before I fall for that positive line. You've got to prove to me it's any good." See, that's adult, but kids aren't that way. Kids think you can get anything. They are really funny. You tell kids, "We're going to have three swimming pools." And they say, "Yeah. Three. One each. Stay out of my swimming pool." See, they start dividing them up right away, but adults are not like that. Adults say, "Three swimming pools? You're out of your mind. Most people don't even have one swimming pool. You'll be lucky to get a tub in the back yard." You notice the difference? No wonder the master teacher said, "Unless you can become like little children, your chances, they're skinny."

4) Trust - Trust is a childish virtue, but it has great merit. Have you heard the expression "sleep like a baby?" That's it. Childish trust. After you’ve gotten an A+ for the day, leave it in somebody else's hands.

Curiosity, excitement, faith and trust. Wow, what a powerful combination to bring (back) into our lives.

7 - Are you a teacher or do you know a teacher who might be willing to help us put together an ONLINE FREE WORKBook for students to use in going through our book Unlocking the Mysteries of Creation? We need capable helpers to do this well by taking assignments for different sections. Please call me personally in the week after Christmas or in January if you're interested (call 530-626-4447 and leave a message so I can call you back). We've had many calls for this resource and we simply must get it done so every student can have the resource.

8 - If you can't go to Peru to see RARE archeological sites - Get THIS BOOK

Would you like to be among a small personally guided group to explore the exciting archeological sites in Peru?

There are a few spots remaining. Call me asap if you're interested. The price is around $2,400 for this 12 day all expense paid trip.

12 - "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

This famous quote was from British statesman Edmund Burke, who was born January 12, 1729.

Considered the most influential orator in the House of Commons, Burke stands out in history, for, as a member of the British Parliament, he defended the rights of the American colonies and strongly opposed the slave trade.

In "A Letter to a Member of the National Assembly," 1791, Edmund Burke wrote:

"What is liberty without wisdom and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without restraint.

Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites; in proportion as they are disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good in preference to the flattery of knaves.

Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without." click on graphic to link to...

13 - Design is obvious, even to prominent evolutionists:

"Biologists must constantly keep in mind that what they see was not designed but rather evolved." Francis Crick, "What Mad Pursuit", 1988 p. 138

"An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle." Francis Crick, "Life Itself: Its Origin and Nature", 1981 (p. 88)

"In spite of the genetic code being almost universal, the mechanism necessary to embody it is far too complex to have arisen in one blow. It must have evolved from something much simpler. Indeed, the major problem in understanding the origin of life is trying to guess what the simpler system might have been." (p. 71)

"Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose." Richard Dawkins, "The Blind Watchmaker", 1988. p. 1.

14 - Dinosaur Excavations: You can join a Dinosaur Excavation in the Badlands! Creation Studies Institute sponsors this trip once a year and offers you the opportunity to find, excavate, plaster, remove and prepare real dinosaur bones!
