Hello all my fine friends!
How is everything with you all? I
am a little under the weather…I have a terrible sinus infection but finally
went to the doctor and am getting it taken care of. Thank God for advance
medical techniques.
And that is a great lead in to
our next topic. Advanced technology of the ancient ones.
“Because of the technologically advanced world
we live in, with smart phones that connect to the world in astounding ways, jet
planes, and spacecraft that land on Mars, we often think we are so much more
intelligent today than our ancestors who lived hundreds or thousands of years
ago.”1 We tend to think that people of past societies were
grunts which eventually over thousands of years developed into a simple language. In the same regards, mankind over much time went from making ‘primitive’ items such as stone tools (which we will see later on are not so primitive) to working with bronze and iron.
But evidence Don Landis and a
team of researchers has carefully collected from around the world unveiled some
fascinating information. They have discovered how ancient people, going back
thousands of years, were highly skilled and inventive. This refutes the false
evolutionary view of human history. Instead, “the evidence they have gathered
confirms what we would expect based upon reading God’s Word about the world:
humans have been highly intelligent from the beginning and could quickly gain

Before we go any farther let’s refresh
our memories on World History Chronology. We now understand the universe and
everything in it was created in six literal days by an all sovereign, all
knowing Intelligent Designer about BC 4004. Within a year (4003 BC) after sin and
therefore death entered the world, everything changed. It was The Fall of
mankind and the biological world as they would have known it. And it kept
changing for the worst until about 2348 BC when a global flood drowned everything
except for 8 humans, two of every wild beasts, and seven of every livestock who
survived on a large barge. A judgment the Intelligent Designer had to make. The
water resided and about one year later (2347 BC) all living things vacated the
ark and spread throughout the
new world. Except for mankind. Despite the
command of the Intelligent Designer to spread throughout the world, humans
lingered behind. They wanted to build a city and tower to reach the heavens. The
Intelligent designer, who of course is the Creator God, again had to interfere and
split the language of the people from one tongue to about 78 in 2242 BC. At this
point between the environmental factors and genetic bottleneck of the human genome, mankind began to deteriorate and change to what is present today. Also at this time
the turbulent weather steaming from the settling of the earth’s mantle after
the great global flood created an Ice Age. Now in parts of the earth
environmental conditions were very severe and the reduced gene flow caused
disease in humans (such as rickets found in Neanderthals) many people were
reduced to survival rather than living. The advanced technology of the past had
come to an end.
To learn about this time in
history, from 2241BC forward, we have to see what the ancient human race had
attained in order to understand what was lost. Stay tuned for next weeks blog
were we will go back to the very beginning. you just might me astonished at what you will find...
Until then take care and God
Bless!

This week in the night skies; for
everyone, the New Moon is Thursday September 5. In the northern
hemisphere on Saturday, August 31,
and before dawn Sunday morning, the waning Moon shines inside a quadrilateral
of Pollux and Jupiter (above it) and Mars and Procyon (below it). For the
southern hemisphere, Mars and Jupiter are prominent in the early morning. The
crescent Moon visits Jupiter on the 1st and Mars on the 2nd. Venus is easily
visible in the western evening sky and is close to the bright star Spica on the
5th. Saturn is not far above Venus. Nova in Delphinus is still visible with binoculars.
