Time & Psalm 90:4

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

Psalm 90:4

 

 ".....Rovelli turned next to the idea that time flows in only one direction, from past to future. 

Unlike general relativity, quantum mechanics, and particle physics, thermodynamics embeds a direction of time. 

Its second law states that the total entropy, or disorder, in an isolated system never decreases over time. 

Yet this doesn’t mean that our conventional notion of time is on any firmer grounding. Entropy, or disorder, is subjective: “Order is in the eye of the person who looks.” 

The equations for quantum gravity he’s written down suggest three things, he said, about what “clocks measure.” 

First, there’s a minimal amount of time—its units are not infinitely small. 

Second, since a clock, like every object, is quantum, it can be in a superposition of time readings. “You cannot say between this event and this event is a certain amount of time, because, as always in quantum mechanics, there could be a probability distribution of time passing.” 

Which means that, third, in quantum gravity, you can have “a local notion of a sequence of events, which is a minimal notion of time, and that’s the only thing that remains,” Rovelli said. 

Events aren’t ordered in a line “but are confused and connected” to each other without “a preferred time variable—anything can work as a variable.” 

Light traces a cone, or consecutively larger circles, in four-dimensional spacetime like ripples on a pond that grow larger as they travel. 

No information can cross the bounds of the light cone because that would require information to travel faster than the speed of light. “In spacetime, the past is whatever is inside our past light-cone,” Rovelli said, ... “So it’s whatever can affect us. The future is this opposite thing,” ... “So in between the past and the future, there isn’t just a single line—there’s a huge amount of time.”

God's Global Phosphorus Delivery System

Where wast thou 

when I laid the foundations of the earth? 

declare, if thou hast understanding. 

Job 38:4

"Based on the profusion of life in every habitat we know here on earth, whether in oceanic, polar, desert, rainforest, or montane ecosystems, ... somehow “solved” this supply chain problem. 

Indeed, vast coal seams and fossil fuels speak of even richer ecosystems in the past. 

Fossils show that each species was well supplied with phosphorus for its ATP, membranes, and DNA. New research indicates surprising ways that our planet distributes phosphorus where it is needed and conserves existing supplies.

“The role of volcanoes and orogenic processes in keeping phosphorus plentiful throughout Earth’s history, deserves elaboration by design theorists.”

Though phosphorus is only a trace component of most lavas its effect must match supply to demand. Observations show that volcanic ash can promote life. 

This year, news from the University of Hawaii announced that “Kilauea volcano’s ash prompted [the] largest open ocean phytoplankton bloom.” Study co-author David Karl included phosphorus as one of the essential elements delivered by the volcano:

“The waters in the open ocean of the Pacific are nutrient depleted

and the addition of volcanic ash, especially iron in the ash, and to a lesser extent other trace elements and possibly phosphate, can stimulate the growth of marine phytoplankton, especially the so-called nitrogen-fixing microbes that can growth in the absence of additional nitrogen,” said Karl."

They mentioned two delivery mechanisms. 

One was lava flowing into the ocean, warming the deep waters and

making them more buoyant. 

Another mechanism is wind.

"The nutrient-rich deep water rising to the sunlit surface stimulated phytoplankton growth, resulting in an extensive plume of microbes offshore of Hawai’i Island. Volcanic ash can be transported much farther distances by winds, especially during explosive eruptions that inject materials high into the atmosphere."

The wind “supply chain” had reached 1,200 miles to the west of Hawaii in this instance. If a small volcano like Kilauea could produce the largest known phytoplankton bloom in the North Pacific, then surely larger volcanoes throughout earth’s history have had the potential to distribute phosphorus worldwide.
Wind also delivers phosphorus in fine dust particles high up in the atmosphere. 

Q: Would anyone imagine that dust from the Sahara could supply phosphorus to the Amazon rainforest? 

That was the surprising conclusion of a NASA report from 2015.

Researchers monitored dust plumes from the Sahara with the Calypso satellite, supplementing the orbital images of the plume with ground studies in the Amazon Basin.
Q: But where did the Sahara get its phosphorus? 

Dr. Hongbin Yu from Goddard Space Flight Center explains that it has been stored within dead microbes that are “remnant in Saharan sands from part of the desert’s past as a lake bed.”

"This trans-continental journey of dust is important because of what
is in the dust, Yu said. Specifically the dust picked up from the Bodélé Depression in Chad, an ancient lake bed where rock minerals composed of dead microorganisms are loaded with phosphorus. Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plant proteins and growth, which the Amazon rain forest depends on in order to flourish."

The Sahara now shares its bounty with the world,

transporting phosphorus from one of the planet’s most desolate places to one of its most fertile.
Of the 182 million tons of Sahara dust lofted by wind annually, only a fraction reaches Amazonia. But remarkably, Amazonia’s shortfall is replenished almost perfectly through this intercontinental aerial delivery mechanism."

Creation Does " Justly Induce"

For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Romans 1:20

"The 

--vastness, beauty, orderliness, of the heavenly bodies, 

--the excellent structure of animals and plants; 

--and the other phenomena of nature 

justly induce an intelligent and unprejudiced observer to conclude a supremely powerful, just, and good author."

Argentine Dinosaurs Undermine Evolutionary Timeline

 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind... 

Genesis 1:25

"Recent articles in Science indicate that the origin of dinosaurs is unknown, and that there are many questions about ‘early’ dinosaurs from the late Triassic. Michael Balter admits:

“But paleontologists are equally concerned with puzzling out how these mighty beasts got their start. Who were their ancestors? … Tracing the origins of the earliest dinosaurs has been a major challenge for paleontologists because there are no uncontested fossils from their earliest days on Earth.”

A new discovery in northwest Argentina, where other late Triassic dinosaurs have been found, suggests weaknesses in existing theories.
The new discovery is of a 1-m-long T. rex-like dinosaur named Eodromaeus murphi, which has added more confusion to the origin of dinosaurs.

Another dinosaur previously found in the area, Eoraptor, was considered one of the earliest theropods, but has now been named as the ancestor of the sauropods! This conclusion is not sitting well with a lot of evolutionists.
This field area is significant.
It contains the supposed representatives of all three major lines of dinosaurs: theropods, sauropods and ornithischians.
This new round of reclassification pushes the origin of dinosaurs back as far as the mid Triassic. Though no fossils of the ancestral dinosaur have been found, paleontologists believe it to have been bipedal. This would require the evolutionary sequence to move from quadruped reptiles to a biped dinosaur ancestor, and then back to the later quadruped dinosaurs. There is no explanation for such changes.
Paleontologists have also found other vertebrates, mainly reptiles, in the rocks of northwest Argentina. Dinosaurs represent only about 10% of the vertebrate fossils. Furthermore, the dinosaur fossils appear, disappear, and then reappear in successive stratigraphic layers. Paleontologists explain this by claiming that the dinosaurs did not outcompete the reptiles but only filled empty niches.

This follows the recent idea of cooperative adaptation rather than the old ‘survival of the fittest’ imagery of evolution.
Fossils in the late Triassic rocks of northwest Argentina are the ‘oldest’ remains yet found on Pangea. The dinosaurs became dominant at the Triassic/Jurassic boundary, and reptiles largely disappeared. This suggests that early dinosaur evolution was geographically restricted for about 15 million years, another problem for paleontologists. 

Q: Why did they not migrate sooner to other parts of Pangea?  

If nothing else, this demonstrates that parts of the fossil record remain undiscovered."

Electricity & YOU

 "Electricity itself can be defined as the movement or current of small charged particles, usually electrons. Some substances, such as metals and various types of liquids, allow the movement of (or conduct) charged particles better than others. 

The harnessing of electricity has enabled us to develop devices which cause electrical energy to be changed into some other form of energy—e.g. heat (cooking), light (electric bulbs), motion (electric motors).

Man was not the first to harness electricity and put it to work. 

When we look at the human body, for example, especially the

nervous system, we should conclude that the designer of the human body must have had an intricate knowledge of electronics and must have known how to harness electrical energy to change it into other forms of energy. When we consider the scale of the operation (i.e. at the atomic and microscopic levels), we can only wonder at God’s profound wisdom in creation.

The nervous system is composed of two parts: the central nervous system, which is the control center comprising the brain and the spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, which consists of nerves connecting other parts of the body to the control center . Via a combination of electrical and chemical processes, the nervous system is used to control the functioning of the entire human body.

The basic building block of the nervous system is the nerve cell, called a neuron. The brain itself consists primarily of neurons. Under a microscope a neuron looks like an octopus with many tentacles. A neuron can transmit an electrical impulse to the next neuron. The network of electrical impulses enables us to receive information from the physical world and then send it to our brains, and vice versa. 

Without the neuron circuits our bodies would completely shut down, like turning off the power supply to a city.

Scientists inherently acknowledge that the nervous system is built according to an electrical design. The scientific literature describing the nervous system is replete with references to electrical theory and electrical devices that man uses today. 

Such references include technical words like batteries, transducers, motors, pumps, 

calculators, transmitters, electrochemical potential, circuitry, binary system, current, resistance, voltage, capacitance, charge. The difficulty of describing the nervous system without resorting to such language implies the Creator’s understanding prior to man’s electrical inventions.

It is difficult to understand how anyone can believe that the nervous system, particularly the brain, could have been produced by evolutionary randomness and selection."

Zinc: “part of a Master Switch”

I will praise Thee; 

for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Psalm 13:14

"Zinc is element 30 in the periodic table, and the most abundant metal in the body after iron. Even so, we only carry about three grams of zinc by weight. That trace amount should not be

disparaged: it is vital for 10 percent of the proteins and enzymes in our cells. In his earlier book The Miracle of the Cell (2020), Denton devoted two pages to 
disparaged: it is vital for 10 percent of the proteins and enzymes in our cells. In his earlier book The Miracle of the Cell (2020), Denton devoted two pages to zinc, listing the varieties of some 300 enzymes that rely on its unique properties. Last year, in an article about metals in proteins, Casey Luskin mentioned several important functions that zinc enzymes perform.

One important zinc enzyme Denton focuses on is carbonic anhydrase. It converts CO2 in our cells to bicarbonate, and then reverses the reaction in the lungs….After inventing a novel vital fluorescent sensor for live-cell zinc tracking, scientists discovered close to 8,000 compartments in the egg, each containing approximately one million zinc atoms. These packages release their zinc cargo simultaneously in a concerted process, akin to neurotransmitter release in the brain or insulin release in the pancreas.

Zinc is “part of a master switch” that “controls the decision to grow and change into a completely new genetic organism.” Even though it has a serious function, it’s a beautiful show to watch — all programmed to perfection:

“On cue, at the time of fertilization, we see the egg release thousands of packages, each dumping a million zinc atoms, and then it’s quiet,” said Thomas V. O’Halloran, the other corresponding author. “Then there is another burst of zinc release. Each egg has four or five of these periodic sparks. It is beautiful to see, orchestrated much like a symphony. We knew zinc was released by the egg in huge amounts, but we had no idea how the egg did this.”

Split Human Brain But Unified Perception

 I will praise You 

because I have been remarkably and wondrously made. 

Psalm 139:14 CSB

"In 1983, Sergent reported her research on a split- brain patient who was presented with conflicting messages in each of the two isolated visual fields. The patient was able to respond to the conflicting information with perfect accuracy with either hand, even though each hand was controlled by a cerebral hemisphere that saw only one of the messages. She concluded that the patient could integrate andresolve the conflicting information even though neither separated part of the brain actually saw it all. The patient’s mind was more than the brain.

In 1986, Sergent reported on a split-brain patient who could integrate visual information, such as whether two lines were aligned or would meet at an angle greater to or less than 90 degrees. showed an accuracy that was well above chance even though no part of the brain “saw” both images.

Again, in 1987, Sergent also reported research on two split-brain patients to whom she presented partial information in each of the split visual fields. Neither field was given enough information to make a final decision. Again the patients made an appropriate decision in most of the trials. 

She called their unity of consciousness “perceptual disunity and behavioral unity.” 

Thirty years later, in 2017, neuroscientist Yair Pinto and his colleagues concluded, after reviewing decades of split-brain research, that the most accurate summary of the research is this: Split-brain patients have split perception but unified consciousness.
And she said, “Tell me what concept links one of the pictures of the three to the other picture in the other hemisphere.” And split-brain patients would always get it right. For example, in that instance, they would say, well, art is what links the violin and the artist’s palate, the toilet plunger and the light bulb have nothing to do with the violin, really.
And she did it with hundreds of different trials of hundreds of different mixtures of pictures. And people with split-brain surgery were virtually always able to easily identify the concept and pick out the related images, even though no part of their brain saw both images."

VENUS: Obviously Venus wasn't formed to be inhabited

 "Life on Venus? UK probe could reveal the answer (Royal Astronomical Society, 7 July 2025). The royal jazz at UK are bosom

buddies with NASA’s bio-astrologers in spirit and in sleuth. Here, they try to one-up their competitors across the pond with dreams about Venus . Of all places to not look for life, Venus should top the list, with its surface hot enough to melt lead and its clouds dripping with sulfuric acid.

"Over the past five years researchers have detected the presence of two potential biomarkers – the gases phosphine and ammonia – which on Earth can only be produced by biological activity and industrial processes."

This is patently false. Ammonia (NH3) is common in the solar system but it is dead by itself. And the claims of phosphine (PH3), a smelly, explosive, poisonous gas that is equally dead by itself, were rejected shortly after they were reported."

Are Humans Animals?

Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Matthew 6:26

"Whether they realize it or not, every person’s answer to this

question directly reflects their worldview, and whether they accept man’s explanation of the world’s history or God’s account of history that is recorded in the Bible.

Despite the claims and beliefs of many, humans are not animals. At the heart of this issue lies this question—
Q: where did humans come from?
Q: In other words, did we evolve or were we created?

Intuitively we know—as much as some try to fight it—that humans are not animals, that something is different about us.
From our mental capacity to our physical abilities, our creativity to our ingenuity, humanity has declared itself to be set apart from the animal world in every way.

The first two chapters of the book of Genesis record the creation of the world. In that creation account, the creation of mankind is specifically detailed and gives us the following information:

--God created mankind in his own image (Genesis 1:26)

--God created mankind as male and female (Genesis 1:27)

--God gave mankind dominion over everything that moves on the earth (Genesis 1:28)

--God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed life into his nostrils (Genesis 2:7)

In the very first verses of the Bible and throughout the rest of Scripture, we see that mankind is a unique creation."
