Well my good friends, thanks for hanging in there with me...once again i apologize for not getting to writing a blog last week.
I am doing something alittle different this week. I am going to rerun the article I previously wrote that had no pictures. Now that i know how to include pictures, I think this article is deserving of that...a picture says a thousand words...
Is there any extra-biblical evidence to support what the Bible claims? As a matter of fact, the answer is yes!
Coal is the solid form of fossil fuel. The liquid form is petroleum products like oil. Coal and oil were formed from the massive deposits of the Pre-Flood biomass. Evolutionists insist these deposits were formed 300 million years ago during the Carboniferous Period.1 However in 1944, a lump of bituminous coal broke open when it was dropped and inside of it was…get this…a bell. Hmm, the evolutionists still have no explanation. However such a find fits nicely with the creation theory. As a matter of fact, after a “nuclear activation analysis [it was] revealed that the bell’s exact mix of metal was different from any known modern alloy production.”2 (emphasis mine). On a sadder note, the bell has a molded demon at the top of the bell’s handle. Which unfortunately, also lines up with the recorded history in the Bible.Other physical evidence of a civilization from the Former World is a cast iron pot found in a coal seam at the Municipal Electric Plant in Thomas, OK. The following text is a letter from Frank Kennard, the man who found an iron pot:
Nov. 27, 1948
While I was working in the Municipal Electric Plant in Thomas, Okla in 1912,
I came upon a solid chunk of coal which was too large to use. I broke it
with a sledge hammer. This iron pot fell from the center, leaving the impression,
or mould of the pot in a piece of the coal. Jim Stull (an employee of the company)
witnessed the breaking of the coal, and saw the pot fall out. I traced the source
of the coal, and found that it came from the Wilburton, Oklahoma Mines.
signed: Frank J. Kennard
Sworn to before me, in Sulphru [sic] Springs, Arkansas, this 27th day of November, 1948.

The pot is now kept in the Creation Evidence Museum’s archives in Glen Rose, Texas.
Another incredible find is the London Artifact. Discovered in 1934 it was named after the area in which it was discovered; London, Texas. “…members of the Hahn family discovered a rock with wood protruding from it. They chiseled it open, exposing the hammer head.”4 The fascinating thing is…this hammerhead was discovered in the Edwards Plateau (rock layer) which also contains dinosaur remains deposited during The Flood. “The wood is partially petrified and the head is made out of a rare iron mixture with chlorine.” 5 Something that is not done today.

Of course natural catastrophes, wars, disease and even God’s judgment on the wicked rebellions would hinder the advancement of mankind’s technology. One of two huge bottlenecks would have been the Noachian Flood. Two thousand years of technological advancement had pretty much been wiped out. “After the global Flood, there would have been a catastrophic loss of technology. And we don’t know what kinds of technological items, tools, and machines were brought on board the Ark by Noah. But after the Flood, and as people increased in numbers on the earth, no doubt technology once again exploded.”6
The other major bottleneck to advanced knowledge was the confusion of the language at the tower of Babel. Accumulated knowledge of the past would have been either lost or divided into the different people (language) groups at that time. But afterward mankind once again began to rediscover and accumulate information and knowledge that allowed us to be inventive and to develop new technologies. But with the langue barrier it took much longer.
“As we see nations remain on the path of wicked rebellion against the One who created all things and who owns us, we should be reminded that God has provided a way of salvation from our sin and a rescue from eternal separation from God.”7
Now that we understand the advanced technology of the Former World, next week we’ll continue along the time scale and look at early Post-Babel technology.
Until then, God bless and take care!

This week in the night skies; “Have you ever seen the "false dawn," the morning zodiacal light? This is sunlight reflected from interplanetary dust orbiting in the plane of the solar system. The next two weeks offer a fine opportunity for Northern Hemisphere skywatchers." For the southern hemisphere, "Comet C/2012 S1 ISON is expected to become very bright in late November Early December. Currently it is visible in modest amateur instruments such as 12" reflecting telescopes. While the comet will be around magnitude 10 at the beginning of October and around 8.6-9 mid October, it is never very high at Astronomical twilight (5 and 7 degrees above the horizon in most of Australia). The horizon murk means that that it will be mid October before the comet is visible in smaller telescopes such as 4" reflectors and late October for strong binoculars.
The comet is just below and to the left of Mars (one degree and 53 arc seconds), making finding it relatively easy. Comet ISON is closest to Mars on October 1, but the orbital geometry means that from Earth it will appear closest on the 15th."
