The B-29 Airplane

This is the only flying B-29 -- yes, it is the last of its kind that is still flying

What is the B-29 and why is it important

Recently a friend of DIT found this link --

iI  begins by briefly detailing the historical information about this important airplane

And then, at the end of the article, is a link to a short video of Fifi, the B-29 actually flying.  You will love this.

Why should we think living things were created by God

Today's DIT link answers an atheists insistence that design is an illusion --

A mother has written to Creation Magazine with a question --

it seems that her son, who is an atheist, is questioning the theory of origins as proposed by Creationists.

He says, from his atheistic perspective, which he has apparently been taught in school,

that "it doesn't matter whether something survives or not.  There is just the appearance of meaningful survival and progression because of the way it works out…"

The mother wants to know how to respond.

Perhaps you have had similar thoughts or discussions.

This article has some very helpful information.

Can Creationists be Scientists?

Last week we discovered that the inventor of the medical MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Machine was a creationist.

But, the 'view' of the world today is that Creationists can not be 'real' scientists. 

Instead, they say, only evolutionists have the insights needed to be scientists.

This is unusual because when one looks back through history, almost all of the scientists believed in God and that God created everything. 

And, even today, many many scientists believe in God and His creative works.

Dr. Damadian is one.

And there are many others.

The article to which we are linking today lists even more (though there are many more than those who are in the article).

So with that by way of introduction

HERE'S THE LINK to can Creationists be scientists

Hymn: Lead me to Calvary

Today's Hymn speaks of Calvary

Calvary was the place where The Lord God Jesus Christ was Crucified and died.

Why?

To pay the death penalty for our sins.

Jesus never sinned.  Therefore He was able to be  the perfect unblemished substitutionary sacrifice to atone/pay for the sins of sinners.

Anyone who accepts that free gift of His death in payment for your, my, anyone's sins will be forgiven of their sins because Christ's death served as the substitute payment.

The inventor of the MRI was a Creationist

While we are on the subject of Medical Innovations (see yesterday's DIT) --

this is a good time to mention a really big time very helpful invention, the MRI.

This well known medical device, the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), was invented by Dr Raymond Damadian.

The book, pictured here, tells about this and about the life of Dr. Damadian PhD.

Though he did not receive the Nobel prize for this invention (although his co-workers did), he was the 'brains' behind the invention and President of MRI manufacturing.

CLICK THIS LINK for important information and the timeline of the development of the MRI -- which confirms that Dr. Damadian was the inventor.

So, Why did he not receive the Nobel Prize along with his co-workers? you ask

Well, perhaps it is because he is a (gasp) Creationist --

and today only Evolutionary Scientists are considered to be 'real' scientists.

For more information about Dr. Damadian's invention and the book. HERE'S THE LINK

And HERE'S A LINK that mentions a few of the many Creationists who are 'real' scientists today.

Medical Innovations

This famous classic picture of 'The Doctor' by Sir Luke Fildes was painted in 1891. 

Much has changed in the field of Medicine since that time though the thought processes of diagnosing and treating the patient remains the main thing.

But to assist in the thought processes and treatments -- innumerable innovations have been developed including CT, MRI, Ultrasound, multiple medicines, vaccines,   surgical procedures, and etc. etc. etc.

The 5 minute video to which we are linking today depicts several of the most recent  interesting and innovative inventions.

How the United States got to Mars

As you know there is much talk about people going to Mars to live and work.

No kidding.

They are taking applications and making plans.

But, in the meantime, let's take a vicarious trip to Mars (without the danger).

Our click through today tells how the United States sent an exploratory vessel ---- named Spirit to Mars.

You might have seen this live a few years ago but if not --

a video that recounts this event is 'out there' on the internet.

A friend of DIT found this very interesting 6 minute 30 second video.

Hymn: Lord I'm coming Home

Today's Hymn is often sung (or used to be) at the conclusion of the sermon and worship service.

It is a call for sinners to repent from their sins and turn to God for forgiveness and salvation.

The pictures shown as this video plays are of the Biblical account of the Prodigal son returning to his father.

In the same way, today, people need to repent of their sins and come to God the Father.

I've wandered far away from God,
Now I'm coming home;
The paths of sin too long I've trod,
Lord, Im coming home.

Refrain

Coming home, coming home,
Nevermore to roam,
Open wide Thine arms of love,
Lord, Im coming home.

I've wasted many precious years,
Now Im coming home;
I now repent with bitter tears,
Lord, Im coming home.

Refrain

I'm tired of sin and straying, Lord,
Now Im coming home;
Ill trust Thy love, believe Thy Word,
Lord, Im coming home.

Refrain

I need His cleansing blood, I know,
Now Im coming home;
O wash me whiter than the snow,
Lord, Im coming home.

Refrain

More About Air Force One

Yesterday's DIT about Air Force One was short and interesting.

But did you want to know more?

Have you been curious about what the interior looks like --

and what happens in that flying office?

Well, today's DIT will go into great detail.

The video to which we are linking today is an in depth 45 minute documentary produced by National Geographic and posted on youtube.

You may think this sounds like a long time (which is why we are posting this on a Saturday when you might have more time than usual).

But, time will fly (pun intended) when you start watching.  It is really interesting.

Be sure to go 'full screen' for the best effect.

And now, get in a comfortable chair, get some popcorn or other snacks, and enjoy.

5 Things you didn't know about Air Force One

Air Force One, as you know, is the Plane that flies the President of the USA.

It is quite an amazing airplane.

You might have seen it sometime -- as it flew in to your city or whatever.

And even though you probably know about Air Force One

the short 6 minute video to which we are linking today is titled "5 things you didn't know about Air Force One"

It is very interesting. Check it out.

Forest in Poland with crooked trees.

A friend of DIT found this realllllly unusual link.

What is it?

Well, as the title of today's DIT indicates

"there is a forest in Poland filled with crooked trees, and no one can explain why."

Perhaps you can figure it out.

Anyway

HERE'S THE LINK to forest in Poland with crooked trees.

Incest in Noah's family?

This is a question that many folks have considered --

because Incest today is a definite 'no no'.

So, why, you might wonder -- was it not 'wrong' in Noah's Family ?

After the flood, there were only 8 People who survived.  So, it is obvious that there had to be intermarriage among those 8.

But, isn't that incest?

And wouldn't that be wrong?

And what about the children of Adam and Eve.  Who would they marry if not brothers and sisters?

Wouldn't that be wrong?

The verrrrrry short article to which we are linking today will explain.

However, as before, when linking to this site -- it often begins with a short video introduction to the purpose of the website.  After that is over, the article should appear.  If it doesn't, click on the link again and it should work.

Model Airplanes

Usually when one thinks of Model Airplanes, you immediately think of little planes that you assemble, paint, and put on a shelf -- such as the one pictured here for sale at Amazon.

But, there are much much bigger versions of Model Airplanes --

they are almost big enough to hold a person -- but not quite.

They are flown by remote control.

People in clubs and organizations fly them as a hobby and in air shows.

One such show was the IMAA Air Show in 2011.

That is the link for today.

You are going to love this -- and as one person said --

"Flying them is one thing, landing is something else!! "

When you view this video, I think you will agree.

Tiny house from a Grain Silo

Tiny Houses are 'big' these days.

By 'big' we don't mean in size but in popularity.

There are many TV shows that feature Tiny Houses --

such as the house in Portland Oregon in the picture here -- which was taken by Tammy and posted on Wikipedia.

DIT knows one couple that records many shows about tiny houses and watches them all.

Each time they marvel at why people would want to do this and wonder "where do they keep all their stuff (books, etc)."

I guess people in tiny houses are the true 'minimalists'

Anyway, these structures are cute -- as is the one you will see today which was made from a Grain Silo.

HERE'S THE LINK to a tiny house from a grain silo.

It"s not just Black and White

Today's link explains a lot.

How is that? you ask

Well, as you are well aware, there is a lot of discussion and arguments today about races, skin color, and more.

The Bible gives the answer when it discusses Babel because

Babel explains why there are Different People groups.

But many folks refuse to consider the Biblical explanation.

In fact, one objector, posited a complaint which is answered in Today's link.

Check it out.  I think you will find it fascinating.

HERE'S THE LINK to It's not just Black and white.

Gobekli Tepe

Pictured here is the Archaeological dig of Gobekli Tepe.  This picture was taken by Teomancimit and uploaded to Wikipedia.

Gobekli Tepe?  What is that?

Well, it seems that there is a verrrrry old Archaeological site in southeastern Turkey.

How old is it?  And what was its' purpose?

The article to which we are linking will give you the interesting details.

Predators

Today's DIT is a Heads up for parents, grandparents, educators, Church leaders, and essentially everyone.

What is it?

Well, Opal Singleton (the president and CEO of MillionKids.org) has written a book titled Seduced.

In it she "explains how technology like smart phones and tablets allow people into the bedrooms of our children that we would never let pass though the front doors of our homes."
She was also interviewed on SkywatchTV.

Since the TV program is free on YouTube, we thought you would want to watch it -- and then perhaps later buy the book.

But, watching will be enough to get your hair standing on end !!!

A friend of DIT found this link and emailed it to us. 

This is what the friend said in the email:  "Moms, Dads, Grandparents!! -- I watched this and just started praying for our families today!  Our children are in danger everytime they pick up their cell phones, etc, to preditors!!  Please, please, please take time to watch this!"

The program to which we are linking is about 20 minutes in length but will be well worth your time.

So Please watch.  This is scary and life changing information.

A very unusual ocean appearance

The article to which we are linking today tells of a very unusual experience.

Seems that a group of people on a boat noticed that the water ahead of them looked very different, odd, and strange.

So they sailed closer to inspect --

and then sailed into the odd area --

when suddenly they figured out what the situation was

and

well, read the article and look at the pictures.

You will be amazed.

Only the Bible explains the diversity of life

There is a debate about the diversity of life forms.

Evolutionists say one thing and Creationists have another view.

And round and round they go.

The article to which we are linking today will help sort this out.

BUT

Sometimes when you click on the link to the website with the article, it opens with a short (about 1 min 29 seconds) introduction to the website.  This is mainly for first time visitors (isn't it amazing how computers know these things).

Anyway, if that should happen, listen to the introduction - it is very good.

Or you can click it off.

Also, Sometimes when you listen to the introduction or even if you click off, it takes you to a list of other articles.  If that should happen, either read some of the articles OR click again on the link with which you started and you should go to the article to which we are linking today. (The computer apparently knows you have been there before. Hmmm)

Sound confusing?  Yes. I agree.  But it is worth the effort to get to the article.

So, with that by way of introduction

Hymn: Cast thy burden upon the Lord

Today's Hymn was composed by Felix Mendelssohn of Hamburg, Germany.

It was written in the 1800s but is still relevant today, though not often heard --anymore.

Which is sad -- because the message is much needed today.

Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
And He shall sustain thee.
He never will suffer the righteous to fall;
He is at thy right hand.
Thy mercy, Lord, is great
and far above the heav'ns;
Let none be made ashamed
that wait upon Thee.

Flowers that look like something else

Normally when we think of flowers we think of something 'normal' like the Jonquil pictured here.

But there are many flowers that are really unusual

and actually look like something else.

A friend of DIT forwarded an email that is 'going around the world on the web'  of these unusual and amazing flowers.

Looks to me like the Creator has a sense of humor.

One Billion at risk of hearing loss from loud music

The picture shown here is the International Symbol of deafness and hearing loss.

And speaking of hearing loss

Yesterday we saw a video of a Stealth Jet -- which, if we had been there in person would have been a realllly loud experience.

And you noticed that those near the noise were wearing ear protection things.

But, alas and alack, many people, especially the young folks attending concerts or listening to loud music are at risk of hearing loss.

That is what the WHO (World Heath Organization) is reporting.

To read the details

HERE'S THE LINK to One billion young at risk of hearing loss from loud music

The X-47B Stealth Jet

This airplane is actually a Navy Drone and is completely unmanned.

And just between you, me, and the gatepost, in some views, it looks kinda like a flying saucer.  Hmmmm.

The video to which we are linking today shows it taking off and landing on the George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier.

This is amazing.

HERE'S THE LINK to the X-47B Stealth Jet

Receiving Divine Peace

The brief article to which we are linking today was sent to us by a friend of DIT.

It is actually a short devotional written by Michael Youssef, PhD.

and It explains how to Receive Divine Peace.

But even more than that -- it explains the concept of "Lordship", even though that term is not used in the article.

You may be a Christian / Believer in the Lord God Jesus Christ -- but are noticing that you still do not have peace and your lifestyle is not 'godly'.

This article will explain why that is and how you can correct it.

Ocean underneath Earth's crust

Scientists have recently discovered that there is an Ocean underneath the crust of the Earth-- of course the Scientists are reporting this with the evolutionary old earth perspective --

To which I sarcastically respond: Wow, imagine that!

So, why the sarcasm, you ask.

Well, this is just what the Bible has implied and predicted.

How is that? you say.

Well, 'large quantities of water deep in the earth'  is described in the Bible.

Specifically, Genesis 7:11 says that "the fountains of the great deep were broken open" to provide most of the water for the Genesis Flood.

So where would all that water come from?  From an ocean under the earth's crust! And apparntly there is still a lot of water under the earth's crust.  It was not all evacuated during the flood.

In addition Psalm 136:5-9 describes how God "stretched out the earth above the waters".

As a friend of DIT has so correctly stated:  "It is wise to see what the Bible says when topics like this are reported."

So with that by way of introduction,

How to clean with Alka-Seltzer

There are many interesting and sometimes very unusual cleaning products "out there"

Today's DIT links to one.

As noted in the title, Alka-Selzer seems to be able to do more than help you when you have an upset stomach.

Yes, we are talking about the "plop plop fiz fiz"  over the counter medicine tablet.

The one pictured here is an Alka-Selzer Plus tablet.

Anyway, good old plop plop fiz fiz seems to also be able to clean things.

Hmmmm -- so what does it do to the stomach.

Oh, well, let's pass on that for now

and see what it can do in the cleaning category.

The short 1 minute 58 second video to which we are linking will show you.
