FROM THE EDITOR

 THIS EVIL WORLD

James Stewart, Sharon Palmer and Victoria Bloch are all members of Rawesome Food Club, a foundation (founded by James Stewart) that believes that organic foods, raw milk, etc. are the way to a healthier lifestyle. It is a club where the people who enjoy the membership are also partners and owners of the club. They have been raided several times lately by the LAPD, and Federal agents who have charged them with the production and sale of unpasteurized goat’s milk, goat cheese, and other products, and with mislabeling cheese. They were also charged with four counts of conspiracy to commit a crime.

According to the FDA...The “Plaintiffs’ assertion of a new ‘fundamental right’ to produce, obtain, and consume unpasteurized milk lacks any support in law.” “There is no ‘deeply rooted’ historical tradition of unfettered access to foods of all kinds.” “Plaintiffs’ assertion of a ‘fundamental right to their own bodily and physical health, which includes what foods they do and do not choose to consume for themselves and their families,’ is similarly unavailing because plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to obtain any food they wish.”

No fundamental right to produce, obtain, and consume unpasteurized milk? No deeply rooted historical tradition of unfettered access to foods of all kinds? No fundamental right to obtain any food they wish? Could they claim this to the pioneers, farmers, and ranchers who originally settled this country? Could they have claimed this before the “New Deal” that was foisted upon this nation by former President and autocrat Franklin D. Roosevelt?

You see, America was declared to be bankrupt, being formerly sold out by the Woodrow Wilson administration to the Federal Reserve, which was, and is an international banking organization. It was named “Federal” in order to deceive the people into thinking that it had to do with the government. Rather, it is the “private” organization that is behind the activities of those who are supposedly ruling as judges, senators, congressmen, and president. The U. S. Constitution was overthrown by these administrations and deals, and that is why we see the government acting the way it does in today’s world.

Lately, we have seen the Tea Party arise venting anger concerning governmental policies, and taxation that is unconstitutional to say the least. Now, we have a different group of people organizing to vent their anger against Wall Street, and the perceived rich, and who knows what else. There is frustration being exhibited by both of these groups, but no real knowledge about what has gone on behind the scenes. Many of the people who have been interviewed by this latest group are observed to be in confusion as to what they are demonstrating about. You see, Satan is the god of this world, and he is very subtle, a real sneaky snake. People sense...people know that something is wrong, but are in the process of blaming men rather than placing the blame where it really belongs.

In our latest newsletter we produced a great deal of revealing information about the current President, and we have received a medley of responses. Most are positive, but some THINK that they perceive an agenda against a black president, and against the African peoples. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are in favor of any leader, or leaders who would lead this nation in truth, real justice, in true concern for the nation and the people. But folks, Mr. Obama is the super rich man’s puppet just like the previous white men were (remember that Mr. Obama is also half white, but color doesn’t matter).

If you will read our booklet entitled “Dust Unto Dust” you might get an idea about what man, with just the human spirit (spirit in man) is truly like. Without the Spirit of Yahweh, real truth, real spiritual things simply can’t be understood (1 Cor. 2:6-14).

If we go back to the book of Daniel chapter seven, we find that the four successive world ruling kingdoms revealed in Daniel chapter two are presented with animal-like natures. The first kingdom, Babylon, is presented as a lion with eagle’s wings. The wings are plucked and a man’s heart is given to it (Dan. 7:4). The Prophet Jeremiah reveals, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” (17:9).

The fourth beast kingdom of Daniel seven is a dreadful, terrible, and exceeding strong kingdom (Rome). In the later stages of this kingdom a little horn arises that has the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great (domineering) things (v. 8). A horn is a symbol of power. The fourth kingdom, Rome, which kingdom we are truly under in today’s world, has inherited the heart of a man from the first kingdom of Babylon, rules by the eyes, the sight, the understanding of a man, and speaks great things.

That is the situation that we, in this evil world, are under folks. Our leaders pass huge oppressive, unconstitutional laws, all the while being under the influence of the heart of man, the eyes (spirit) of man, and speaking great things. Yet, their results are extremely oppressive!

In these last days, our leaders are proving that it just isn’t in man to be able to lead, judge, rule ourselves. We truly need the just, and righteous Ruler that the Scriptures speak of. We need the kingdom of heaven ruling this earth from Jerusalem, under the hand and authority of Yahshua the Messiah, the true King of kings and Sovereign of sovereigns.

Yahweh please speed that day!!!!!

Back to the TOP 

Because of the theory of evolution, a popular question that was going around when I was a young man was, “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” If someone responded, “The chicken, of course!” The comeback would be, “But you can’t have a chicken without first having an egg.” If someone responded, “The egg, of course!” The comeback would be, “But you can’t have an egg without a chicken!” This little dialog was for the purpose of confusing people. Well…..we do know where confusion comes from, don’t we?  If we believe the Scriptural account of creation then we understand that Yahweh created the animals, which then began the process of life and living. But the evolutionists want to play little psychological games in order to confuse the issue. Let’s take a little look at the egg and see if there aren’t some hard questions for the evolutionists to give an answer to.

By Jerry Healan

  Thinking about it, what animal, bird, fish, reptile, insect, etc. doesn’t come from an egg? Even humans come from eggs. So here is the first question for the evolutionists, since everything evolved from the same starting point (according to your theory), how is it that kind reproduces after kind? Scripture says, “And Elohim said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And Elohim created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and Elohim saw that it was good. And Elohim blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. And Elohim said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And Elohim made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and Elohim saw that it was good,” Gen. 1:20-25.

  The Hebrew word for “kind” is miyn, which means portion, sort, species, kind. Now here is Scriptural authority that everything was brought forth after its kind, its sort, its species. In the evolutionary scheme of things unintelligence, no-intelligence, has been able to figure things out the way they are. There is no intelligent Creator. There is no intelligent design. But there is a most wondrous Intelligent One Who claims that He made everything after his kind, his sort, his species, and, whether you like it or not, kind reproduces after kind.

  If all of the active life, fish, birds, animals, reptiles, even insects, come from eggs, why is it that there is a special “key” that is needed for the sperm to unlock the entrance to the egg and perform the job of fertilization? How did this just happen? Frankly, evolutionists are still struggling with the ultimate question, “How did it all come about?” They postulate, they theorize, they might find something that they feel helps to piece together their puzzle, but have you really listened to the scientists when they speak of their evolutionary concepts and ideas? You will hear the most powerfully positive words such as; “We think,” “We believe,” “It is possible,” “It could have taken place this way,” “probably,” etc.

  While Yahweh states powerfully and positively, “I created the heavens and earth. I made life and brought it forth.” The evolutionists try to respond with their pitifully unsure contradictory statements that will never stand up in a TRUE court of justice.

FERTILIZATION

  The egg that we want to focus on is that of the chicken. Now we know that there are various brands of chickens, but any chicken can reproduce after its kind. So a Leghorn and Rhode Island Red can cross breed. But I’ve never seen a canary, or robin, or mockingbird cross breed with a chicken. Have you? Aren’t they all of the fowl species? Don’t they all lay eggs?

  Now the question would be, how did nothingness, darkness and ignorance (the beginning stages of evolution/evilution) figure out the far more advanced fertilization process that exists today? You know… that so-called simple single celled amoeba (the early stages of life) that reproduce their species by just splitting in two (when it’s convenient, of course). How did they later figure out that they could become male and female and develop sperm, eggs, etc.? And if they did get it figured out, why are amoeba still in existence today? If we evolved from protozoa, amoeba, or some other so-called simple single cell, then why do they continue to exist? How did they get left behind?

  Have you looked into the fertilization process at all? Have you ever thought about it, other than the times that you have had that certain desire, or lust, and followed through with the process yourself? You know, the most that the greater part of the population thinks of after sex, is to worry whether a pregnancy occurred or not. Most people have the idea that “if it feels good…do it.” Some may be more concerned about pregnancy, or disease, or bodily defilement, but many give in to the drive and worry about the consequences later. But few, probably very few, have ever considered what actually takes place during and after the fact.

  Did you know that the fertilization process is so complicated that interruption of any step in the chain will almost certainly cause failure? Did you know that even though thousands or even millions of sperm may be ejaculated, that only one wins the prize? Fertilization by more than one sperm – polyspermy – almost inevitably leads to early embryonic death! In order to prevent polyspermy and its consequences, once a sperm binds with the egg, the egg rapidly undergoes a number of metabolic and physical changes called egg activation. The egg reacts by almost instantly hardening (I am putting this in simple terms) so that no other sperm can bind with it. This prevents polyspermy.

  But since before existence there was nothing, there was darkness, there was ignorance, how did nothingness, darkness, and ignorance figure all of this out? Was it by experimentation? Was it all developed in the lab of experimentation? Did ignorance, darkness, nothingness set up a lab of experimentation? How did it do that since there was nothing but nothingness, darkness, and ignorance? How many experiments ended in failure? Remember that this all took place before man existed, before there was language, before there was knowledge, before there were textbooks, schools, colleges, universities, etc. Why is it that man is the only creature in existence that can inspect, research, figure things out, and then come to understand what he thinks took place? Did evolution/evilution know that someday it would have to bring man forth so that man could explain how smart and intelligent nothingness, darkness, and ignorance really was/is? So that man could glorify evolution’s/evilution’s great intelligence? Oh yes, I forgot, we can’t speak of “Intelligent Design!” There is no “intelligence” to it, it’s all done by nothingness, darkness, and ignorance! So why even go to school? It seems that we were smarter when we were so-called “ignorant” than we are today with all of man’s intelligence put together! Oh yes, I forgot once again, even though we are intelligent, so intelligent that we don’t need a Maker, or Creator, we still are not totally intelligent as to how it all came about. After all, evolution/evilution is still a theory, and no matter what the scientists and the high-minded aloof professors, and teachers say about it, a theory is still a theory until it can be said to be FACTUAL. So we still are in a great deal of ignorance as to how and what really happened and how we got here, which works for some people, and I guess I may have just proven that nothingness, darkness, and ignorance are still extant so we just continue to evolve (in evil) without understanding how.

MALE AND FEMALE

  So we have evolved somehow without intelligent design into male and female and without intelligent design appointed the male to be the sperm donor while the female carries the egg (-s) that must be fertilized through a rather amazingly difficult and complicated process. Wow! Isn’t unintelligence (which is ignorance) something?!!!!!

  Just to say male and female is actually an understatement. There are male and female plants, fish, birds, animals, humans, etc. Each species (kind) has its own code to unlock the door to the egg so it can be fertilized. If evolution/evilution is true, the male had to figure out what kind of code that would unlock the door to the female of like species, and the female had to develop a door to her egg that would only allow the sperm of her kind, her species to enter and fertilize, thus continuing the species, sort, kind. She also had to figure out how to prevent polyspermy so that her pregnancy wouldn’t fail. But don’t worry about it folks, it happened, it’s factual, it exists in spite of the unintelligence (ignorance) of evolution/evolution, and we wouldn’t have known how all of this takes place if we hadn’t had an inquisitive mind….wherein we desired to know as much as we could about it.

  The Creator said that He made us male and female. He made the creatures after their kind, but He made man after his own kind. Man is the last to appear according to Scripture, and guess what! Evolution/evilution agrees with the Creator! Well…..at least in this one instance. Of course, Yahweh reveals that man refused to give Him the honor and glory that He deserves and turned to serve the creation and creature rather than the Creator Who is blessed forever! Amein! (Ro. 1:18-32)

  The male and female are a necessary set for procreation, the continuation of the species (the kind) no matter what the corrupted, perverted world around us believes and seeks to force on others. Read Romans chapter one closely and you will discover why the world has become so confused, corrupted and perverted.

  Isn’t it amazing how so many people in this day and age are so fearful, so afraid that many of our various species, kinds, are nearing extinction, but let’s take the case of roosters and hens. If roosters only prefer roosters, and hens only prefer hens, then there won’t be any little chicks running around to perpetuate the species anymore. Of course that would be bad news for Kentucky Fried Chicken, Church’s Fried Chicken, Chic-fil-a, and other businesses that depend on the continuation of that particular species for their income, and….what about all of those hungry stomachs of the customers, even those who have embraced lesbianism, homosexuality, etc.? Oh well…..

  The fact of the matter is that male and female were created to perpetuate the species. Do you think that evolution/evilution could have ever figured all of that out? Does ignorance really know anything? How did the sexless amoeba figure this out? Did an amoeba just one day divide into two and all of a sudden there was male and female? The fact of the matter is that the process couldn’t have taken place over eons. It couldn’t have happened through any kind of experimentation. Go back and read the process of fertilization again. Study into it yourself. It is complicated and has to work just right every time or disaster is the rule.

ANATOMY OF THE EGG

  The egg itself is a marvelous wonder. It consists of three main parts, the shell, the egg-white, and the egg-yolk. We have provided a diagram of an egg so you can see its make-up.

 

The shell is a chemical compound called calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

  It has an outer coating called a “cuticle” that is a barrier to keep out dust and bacteria. Now I have to ask another question, How did the chicken figure out that dust and BACTERIA would be a danger to the egg? Remember that the evolutionists don’t like to utilize the words “Intelligent Design.” That would mean that there is a greater Being, a greater Power that intelligently designed the egg because He knew what the dangers to the egg would be.

  Man, the most intelligent creature on earth, of course, knew about dust, but didn’t have any idea about bacteria, germs, etc. until he developed the microscope and began to look a little closer into a world that is hidden from our human eyes. But someone else knew about the hazards not only of dust, but bacteria before our little minds could fathom such a thing. Of course, we didn’t know anything about paramecium, amoeba, bacteria, etc. until the microscope either.

  But the egg shell is also semi-permeable, meaning that moisture and air can pass through it because it contains as many as 17,000 pores. Lying between the eggshell and egg white are two transparent protein membranes which provide even more efficient defense against bacterial invasion. If you give these layers a tug, you’ll find they’re surprisingly strong. They’re made partly of keratin, a protein that’s also in human hair.

  Wow! More bacterial protection! How did ignorance and unintelligent design figure this out? I just don’t understand! I guess it’s because in my life (as yours also, I am sure) I have had to be taught about these things (just as I am learning about the egg). You see, I was ignorant concerning these things. Oh, I knew about eggs. They are those things that I eat many mornings for breakfast. They are used in so many, many things such as cakes, pies, bread, etc. I just took them for granted. Yes, I did appreciate their benefit for food, etc. But I never looked into their make-up until now. Now, as I am learning about them, am I coming to understand that they are very intelligently designed, or am I just increasing in ignorance, and witnessing to what un-intelligence can do?

  The next thing is the egg white portion. The egg white is known as the albumen, which comes from albus, the Latin word for “white.” Four alternating layers of thick and thin albumen contain approximately 40 different proteins, the main components of the egg white in addition to water. As a matter of fact, the egg white is composed of 92% water. It surrounds the egg yolk as another layer of protection.

  But notice also that there are two rope-like items called “chalaza.” These were “Intelligently Designed”….Ooops, I’m sorry, the evolutionists say that there is no such thing as “intelligent design” as far as the creation is concerned….And if we imply “intelligent design” they might become offended….and you know when you offend such people, they like to file law suits in order to keep the truth suppressed….Oh no! I did it again, but I won’t apologize anymore….These “chalaza” were “Intelligently Designed” to keep the yolk in place. They are rope-like connections that are attached to the yolk and to the membrane holding the yolk in place. You know how sensitive the yolk is when you break the egg. They are so easy to scramble up in the skillet, but you can shake and shake the egg in its shell and you won’t be able to burst the yolk because it is ANCHORED in place! Who figured this out? Was it the chicken? Was it the egg? How did they know? Please Mr. evolutionist, explain this to me! Is this design or not? If it is design, was that design done by intelligence, or ignorance? I demand answers!

  Next comes the “vitelline membrane” which is a structure directly adjacent to the outer surface of the egg white ( plasma membrane). It is composed mostly of protein fibers, with protein receptors needed for sperm binding which, in turn, are bound to sperm plasma membrane receptors. The species-specificity between these receptors contributes to prevention of breeding between different species.

  As soon as the spermatozoon fuses with the ovum, signal transduction occurs, resulting in an increase of cytoplasmic calcium ions. This itself triggers the cortical reaction, which results in depositing several substances onto the vitelline membrane through exocytosis of the cortical granules, transforming it into a hard layer called the “fertilization membrane”, which serves as a barrier inaccessible to other spermatozoa. This phenomenon is the block to polyspermy.

NOTE: If you think that this author is so intelligent that he figured these things out himself, you have another think coming. He had to go to those who have intelligently searched these things out, and posted the information in books, on the internet, etc. Much of what is stated here is taken from an article online entitled “Anatomy of an Egg.” Other information is taken from a small booklet entitled God In Creation by Bob Devine.

  Finally, comes the yolk which contains less water and more protein than the white, some fat, and most of the vitamins and minerals of the egg. These include iron, vitamin A, vitamin D, phosphorus, calcium, thiamine, and riboflavin. The yolk is also a source of lecithin, an effective emulsifier. Yolk color ranges from just a hint of yellow to a magnificent deep orange, according to the feed and breed of the hen.

FERTILIZATION ACCOMPLISHED

  Once the hen has been fertilized she begins to lay about an egg per day until she amasses the amount that she can cover and incubate. The incubation period for chickens is twenty one days. In math, that’s three times seven. Seven is a very important and significant number with Yahweh. It is the number that completes the week. Yahweh established the seventh day Sabbath for rest, blessings, and holiness in the beginning. Of course, three is an important number with Yahweh also as it takes three sides to complete a triangle.

  In the creation account, it took a series of three days to bring forth the earth out of the water, and also bring forth plant life. Then it took another set of three days to bring forth the sun, moon, and stars (fourth day), fish in the waters, and fowls to fly through the heavens (fifth day), and on the sixth day He brought forth the land creatures including man. Of course, evolutionists/evilutionists don’t want to listen to this. They are too busy denying, contradicting, and searching the expanse of the heavens, and the depths of the earth to see if they can figure out another way to explain how it all came about.

  The hen has to get up occasionally to feed, but another most important task is that she must turn each egg over daily to keep the chick inside from sticking to the membrane next to the shell. It is so amazing how they figured out how to develop eggs, and then figure out how to get them fertilized correctly, but she can’t see inside the egg, so how did she figure out that she needed to turn them every day so her young wouldn’t stick? Do they go to school to learn about the birds and bees like we humans do? I have seen plenty of hens with their chicks, but I have never seen the little chicks go to school except for the fact that she does show them how to peck around for food, and she does lead them around, and cluck at them all of the time, unless they take time out for a nap. But I just haven’t seen any textbooks for them to read out of.

  The process would be called “instinct,” I suppose, which is man’s way of saying it’s an inborn tendency to behave in a way characteristic of a species; that is, a natural unacquired mode of response to stimuli. (Webster’s New World Dictionary).

  Paul puts it this way, “For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of Yahweh knoweth no man, but the Spirit of Yahweh,” 1 Cor. 2:11.

  So what we can determine from this is that there is a spirit of man which imparts to him the things of a man. There would be the spirit of the chicken which imparts to it the things of a chicken. Every species has its own spirit of understanding. A chicken can’t understand the things of the spirit of man, nor can a cow understand the things of a chicken, or a man. But neither can man understand the things of Yahweh, the things of Elohim (God to most people), unless he has the spirit of Yahweh in him. That’s why the evolutionists/evilutionists can’t understand the things of the creation through the spirit of Yahweh Elohim. They don’t have the spirit of Yahweh, so they are only looking at the creation through the eyes of the spirit of man.

  Man is considering himself to be at the top of an evolutionary chain because he can only see things through the eyes of a man. So many are rejecting the things of Yahweh because they don’t have the spirit of Yahweh. Just as a cow can’t understand the things of a man, they can’t understand the things of Yahweh.

HOW THE EGG BREATHES

  Life requires oxygen. Did you realize that an egg must be able to breathe if the chick inside is to survive and develop? But just like anything that breathes, the process is oxygen in, carbon dioxide (CO2) out. As the chick (embryo) develops there must be an exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

  One of the things that we haven’t touched on yet is the air cell between the two membranes at the larger rounded end of the egg. It is quite obvious in hard boiled eggs. That air cell is what supplies oxygen to the developing chick inside. As the chick grows, carbon dioxide builds up in the egg. If it couldn’t be eliminated, the chick would die. But the egg, as we have already noted, contains as many as 17,000 pores in the shell, plus the two membranes also are very porous.

  The question would be, how does the excessive carbon dioxide exit the egg while oxygen enters? There is a scientific law called “the law of diffusion”. As the carbon dioxide builds up in the egg, there is less oxygen in the egg than outside, while there is more carbon dioxide in the egg than on the outside. The law of diffusion states that the larger amount of oxygen (or any gas) wants to join with the lesser amount. The same things goes for the carbon dioxide. There is more in the egg than on the outside, so the larger amount wants to join the lesser amount on the outside. So because of this “law of diffusion” the oxygen flows into the egg while carbon dioxide flows out.

  Did you know that the body of the Congress of the United States is called “lawmakers?” Do you realize that the existence of law requires a lawmaker? Again, we have to ask, how can nothing (nothingness), darkness, and ignorance, unintelligence (evolution’s beginning) figure something like this out? And if nothingness, darkness, ignorance, and unintelligence (evolution’s beginning) did this, why would it have taken what we now call an intelligent scientific mind, through the process of observation, and experimentation to figure this out and then inform the rest of us? Since we were ignorant of the process that had been taking place for thousands of years, why didn’t we just automatically know this, just like nothingness, darkness, ignorance, and unintelligence did?

  Here is one for the scientists, professors, teachers, the super intelligent of mankind etc., How is it that with all of your so-called intelligence that you still have to search for answers to the question of how it all began? There is One Who proclaims, “Because that, when they knew Yahweh, they glorified him not as Elohim, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened (with the nothingness, darkness, and ignorance of evolution). Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,” Ro. 1:21-22. This is the indictment of the evolutionary believing scientists, professors, teachers, etc.!

  Amazingly, in the twenty-one days of development, the egg will take in a little over six quarts of oxygen (6 liters), and expel around four and three fourths quarts (4-1/2 liters) of carbon dioxide. That is a huge volume for such a small item as the average size (volume) of an egg is about one and three fourths ounce! That is one and one-half gallons of oxygen, and one gallon and almost a quart of carbon dioxide!

  But there is more!

EMBRYO DEVELOPMENT

  When the chick is five days old it develops a pair of lungs, but they don’t begin to take in air until the nineteenth day. It must get air in order to live so two blood veins grow from the chicks body (we could call this the “umbilical cords”) branching out into many tiny capillaries and attaching themselves to the membrane. The chick has also developed a heart that pumps the oxygen filled blood from the membrane to the chick, and carries the carbon dioxide to the membrane for release.

  While the heart and blood are doing the job of furnishing oxygen for the chick, two more blood vessels have grown from the chick’s body and entered the yolk, the yellow part of the egg. They also branch into many tiny capillaries so now the chick has air, and food. This also takes place on the fifth day. It is interesting that in the spiritual significance of numbers, five is the number for grace.

  As the fat in the yolk is utilized, it is replaced with water vapor. Now another problem takes place. The water vapor can drown the chick, but once again the wondrous “law of diffusion” goes to work because there is less water vapor outside the egg than inside, so the water vapor also passes through the eggshell into the surrounding air. During the twenty one day development of the chick, the embryo loses eleven and a half quarts (or eleven liters) of water vapor! That’s almost three gallons of water vapor! The water vapor is also replaced with oxygen and nitrogen.

  Think of it! This little 1-3/4 oz. (volume) egg handles six quarts of oxygen (that’s 192 ounces), 4-3/4 quarts of carbon dioxide (that’s about 152 ounces), and 11-1/2 quarts of water vapor (that’s 368 ounces). Isn’t that just mind boggling?

  As the chick grows inside the egg, so does the air cell because the larger the chick gets, the more life giving oxygen it requires. By the eighteenth day the air cell has grown to 15 percent of the egg size.

  Keep in mind that if any of these things, any step, didn’t take place, there would be no chick.

  But by the nineteenth day there is no longer enough oxygen being supplied by the egg to keep the chick alive! By this time the chick has a beak, but because it is cramped in the egg, it can’t draw its head back and peck a whole in the egg. However, the Great Creator Yahweh knew about all of this in advance, so He caused a small triangular item to form on the chick’s bill called an “egg tooth.” It looks like an upside down “V.”

  When the chick begins to run short on oxygen, it begins to struggle. All it takes is a little push upward with the egg tooth which creates a hole large enough for the chick to receive the required oxygen. The chick remains in the egg for another twenty-four to thirty-six hours during which time its lungs finalize their development and its capillary system ceases to work. Finally, on the twenty-first day, the chick pushes with the egg tooth one more time, the brittle shell breaks and the chick steps out into another world.

  A couple of days later, the egg tooth falls off, because the chick doesn’t need it anymore.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN

  From existence of male and female, to fertilization, to the development of the embryo, to the final hatching, every process has to be accomplished flawlessly, or there would be no male, no female, no sperm, no egg, no fertilization, no development, no creature at all! Now we have to ask (as if we haven’t been asking this all along), could unintelligence do this? Could nothing do this? Could darkness do this? Could ignorance do this? Could all of this be of unintelligent design? Can unintelligence design anything as marvelous and complicated as this? Did this just happen by accident?

  If the creation began with a big bang, a big explosion from something that was so small that it wouldn’t fit on the head of a pin, as the evolutionists believe, how did everything develop as it is? What explosion have you seen that creates? All explosions that we have ever seen do nothing but destroy.

  But look at the whole creation that supposedly came from something smaller than the head of a pin. While we do know what a small seed can do, yet we are looking at something so extremely voluminous that there are no seeds that we know of that could grow to such great proportions. How did it get organized the way it is? How did our solar system develop in the perfect manner that it did so that the third planet from the sun could be watered, could support life, and then bring life forth? Without our sun and the perfect distance from it, the earth wouldn’t be able to support life. Without the moon, the earth wouldn’t be able to support life as we know it. How did it all happen? Did it come about through some mindless, purposeless, unintelligent process?

  There is One Who proclaims that He created it all by the power of His word! (See Genesis 1 & 2; Isaiah 45:18; John 1:1-14, etc.) If nothingness, darkness, ignorance, and unintelligent design did all that we see, according to the evolutionists, how did it do it? Of course, that is what the evolutionists are frantically searching for, the origins, how it all came about. But if we refuse to go to the One Who declares that He began it all, then we must foolishly, and ignorantly declare that it all came from nothing. As Romans 1 states, “….professing ourselves to be wise, we have become foolish.”

  Man has intelligence. Through man’s intelligence we have been able to accomplish some of the most amazing things. We have even developed space programs that have brought about all kinds of intricate things, such as the computer that is being utilized to formulate this article, research the internet, etc. But as intricate as the things are that man has been able to do, he/we have never been able to intelligently design and engineer something that seems as simple as an egg. It looks and seems simple on the outside, but when we look deeper into it, it becomes more delicate and awesomely configured than we could ever have believed!

  Someone of far greater intelligence, ability to design, and bring forth to reality, has done this. His name is Yahweh Elohim. Let us give due benevolence, honor, praise, glory, and obeisance to the one Who deserves it.

  In His own word He says, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no Elohim. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good,” Psa. 14:1. (See also Psa. 53:1) Notice that, He says that if you believe there is no Elohim, then you are a fool. He also says, “The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction,” Prov. 1:7. “The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding,” Prov. 9:10.

YAHSHUA THE CREATOR

  The purpose of this work is to witness to our wondrous and glorious Savior Yahshua the Messiah. The Apostle John witnesses of Him that He is the One Who created all things, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. The same was in the beginning with Elohim. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not…. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of Elohim, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of Elohim. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth,” Jn. 1:1-5, 10-14.

  Now we know and understand that there are those who disbelieve these Scriptures and contradict what is said here. Therefore, we must understand and do what the Apostle Peter declares, “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of Elohim spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit,” 1 Pet. 1:20-21.

  The Apostle John was a holy man, made so by the calling, the ministry and shed blood of Yahshua the Messiah. Therefore, he was writing under inspiration of the Holy Spirit. So let’s do what is suggested above and not just take the writings of the Apostle John because there are other holy men, made so by the calling, the ministry, and shed blood of Yahshua the Messiah who were witnesses of Yahshua’s creative power.

  The Apostle Paul was inspired to write, “Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of Yahweh given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of the Messiah; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in Yahweh, who created all things by Yahshua the Messiah: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of Yahweh, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in The Messiah Yahshua our Sovereign: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him,” Eph. 3:7-12.

  Again, Paul writes of Yahshua, “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible Elohim, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence,” Col. 1:12-18.

  The book of Hebrews proclaims, “Elohim, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,” Heb. 1:1-3.

  There is one other Scripture that I want to quote from before I put it all together, “By the word of Yahweh were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear Yahweh: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast,” Psa. 33:6-9.

  John reveals that Yahshua is the Word, and that He is Elohim, and only Yahweh is Elohim according to the Scriptures. Yahshua not only spoke everything into existence by the power of His word, but He upholds it all by that same power according to the book of Hebrews, and according to Paul by Him everything consists or is held together.

  This is all done by the power of the Creator Yahshua the Messiah. Whether something is held together by gravity, by magnetism, by electro-magnetism, by the weak or strong nuclear force, that is only man’s words to describe the power of Yahshua the Messiah.

  The Heavenly Father Yahweh has created all things by, through the Word of Yahweh Who is Yahshua the Messiah!

  Yahshua told the people of His day, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. I receive not honour from men. But I know you, that ye have not the love of Yahweh in you. I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from Yahweh only? Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?” Jn. 5:39-47.

  Now we can understand. The atheistic, scientific, evolutionary world will not ever come to Him in order to learn of His mighty, wondrous, and awesome power. But there are also many who proclaim faith in the Scriptures who do not believe this. They seek to proclaim Torah, which the Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes, Herodians, Essenes, etc. of Yahshua’s day did. This unbelief continues in the form of Orthodox Judaism for one. But there are also many in the so-called Messianic, and Sacred Name faith who do not believe what Moses wrote of Yahshua, and what the other Scriptures proclaim concerning Him. Let’s also not forget Christianity. Yahshua would say the same thing about them as He did about the people of His day.

  However, this all being said, everyone will have to come to Him on their bended knees one day soon and acknowledge that they were just ignorant concerning the spiritual things about Him.

  The Scriptures not only say that the fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge (Prov. 1:7), but that it is also the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the holy ones. (Prov. 9:10).

  Let us do as we are advised. Let us fear Him so we can grow in knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. Then we can search into His awesome and marvelous creation and we will be able to give credit to Whom credit is due. Don’t allow the evil one of this world pawn off his wicked false ideas on you/us. HalleluYah!!!!! Praise Yahweh for His marvelous and awesome wonders!
