LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON

*  Yesterday in Florida, President Obama kissed a woman on the cheek after she told him he looks good. Which explains why last night, Michelle made him sleep on Air Mattress One.

TEXAS FILES SUIT TO SPEED UP VOTER ID LAW


Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott filed a federal lawsuit today in an effort to accelerate implementation of the state's new Voter ID law.  

 

The U.S. Justice Department has not given the necessary approval of the law, which critics contend will unfairly make it harder for students and low income minorities to vote. Because of historic discrimination against minorities, Texas and several other states must get federal approval before making any changes affecting elections.

ROMNEY CAMPAIGN RUN BY CHARLIE CRIST'S POLITICAL AIDES

 
As Mitt Romney puts the South Carolina primary in his rear-view mirror and hits the accelerator in a bid to win Florida, he may discover himself crashing headlong into the bitter legacy of Charlie Crist, the former Florida governor who defected from the GOP and was soundly defeated for the U.S. Senate by Marco Rubio.

Romney's "Charlie Crist" problem is this: Romney's chief campaign strategist and several of his most senior campaign staff were Crist's top political advisers - the same ones who crafted Crist's moderate, ignore-the-tea-party strategy epitomized in Crist's famous "hug" of President Barack Obama. That strategy led Crist, once the most popular Republican governor in the nation, to defeat.

So-called shake-and-bake meth is produced by combining raw, unstable ingredients in a 2-liter soda bottle.

ENCOURAGE YOUR PASTOR TO PREACH A CREATIONIST SERMON  
ON DARWIN DAY, FEBRUARY  12, 2012

Darwin Day is coming up on Sunday, February 12th, as the pagans celebrate the birthday of Charles Darwin, the man who rejected God and invented the false theory of evolution.

Sabbsa charles darwin
Charles Darwin rejected God and invented the false theory of macro evolution.

The San Antonio Bible-Based Science Association wants to urge you to contact your pastor and suggest that he might prayerfully consider preaching a creationist message on Darwin Day as well as distributing creationist church bulletin inserts that proclaim the Biblical truth. (Check out links to possible sermon outlines).

Christians understand that man is God's crowning glory to creation, made with a divine purpose in mind. The pagans believe that man is nothing more than an animal, or worse yet, just a bunch of chemicals and chemical reactions.

Sadly, too many Christians, who should know better, have themselves rejected the clear teaching of Scripture. They have tried to put some lipstick on Darwin's evolution pig by proclaiming a belief in "theistic evolution." In other words, they contend that (a) there is a God and (b) that God created the earth and all living things through macro-evolution.

To be honest, that is a lie straight from the pit of hell!

sabbsa theistic evolution
Shockingly, some Christians believe that God created through theistic evolution.


Werner Gitt, in an article entitled
10 Dangers of Theistic Evolution, explains:

"The atheistic formula for evolution is:

"Evolution = matter + evolutionary factors (chance and necessity + mutation + selection + isolation + death) + very long time periods.

"In the theistic evolutionary view, God is added:

"Theistic evolution = matter + evolutionary factors (chance and necessity + mutation + selection + isolation + death) + very long time periods + God.

"In this system God is not the omnipotent Lord of all things, whose Word has to be taken seriously by all men, but He is integrated into the evolutionary philosophy. This leads to 10 dangers for Christians including both the denial of central Biblical teachings and the fact that the Biblical basis of Jesus' work of redemption is mythologized."

The creation account in Genesis is not a fairy tale. It is both historically and scientifically accurate. It's time that Christ-followers take a stand against the teachings and celebration of Charles Darwin.

In anticipation of the Sunday, February 12th celebration and virtual idol worship of Charles Darwin in this post-Christian world, why not use the occasion of his birthday to educate, equip and empower Christians with the truth?

  

Whether you teach Sunday School, lead a Bible study, pastor a church or just desire to share the truth with your friends and family, the San Antonio Bible-Based Science Association has provided some helpful resources to make a difference!

  

It's time to draw a line in the sand. No longer will we allow the Darwinian evolutionists to turn unbelievers, much less the body of Christ, away from the truth of the Bible and ultimately away from God.  

 

ACTION STEPS FOR ADAM'S ARMY:

3. Check out a 9-page, tongue-in-cheek presentation entitled "Thank you, Charles Darwin". This may be used for a single presentation or printed as additional flyers.

5. Empower your pastor to take a stand for the truth of God's creation in the pulpit on Sunday, February 12th. Forward this e-mail to him with a personal note from you, urging him to use one of the four helpful sermon outlines as a starting place in his preparation. (Don't hesitate to follow-up with a polite phone call to make sure he received this forwarded email).

* Creation and Evolution

6. Call Scott Lane of the San Antonio Bible-Based Science Association at 210.599.7240 or e-mail lanes_1@sbcglobal.net in order for one of their speakers to deliver a FREE, hour-long presentation -- complete with colorful Power Point slides -- on such topics as:

SUPREME COURT SAYS SEARCH WARRANTS NEEDED WHEN POLICE USE GPS DEVICES TO TRACK SUSPECTS

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday that police must obtain a search warrant before using a GPS device to track criminal suspects. But the justices left for another day larger questions about how technology has altered a person's expectation of privacy.

Justice Antonin Scalia wrote that the government needed a valid warrant before attaching a GPS device to the Jeep used by D.C. drug kingpin Antoine Jones, who was convicted in part because police tracked his movements on public roads for 28 days.

GOP DEBATE TONIGHT IN FLORIDA

When the remaining four presidential candidates gather for the 18th debate of the cycle tonight in Tampa, FL, the stakes couldn't be any higher, especially for Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.

BIDEN ON NEWT'S MARRIAGE: 'CHARACTER' MATTERS
On Newt Gingrich's ex-wife controversy

Ryan inquired, "Did the media go too far, and what did you think of that question and response?

"I have no comment. Look this is quicksand, and I think that Newt Gingrich, as we all are, is going to be judged by the voters in the primary on the totality of who he is, and that includes everything.

PAWLENTY: OBAMA WOULD BEAT GINGRICH

Despite South Carolina exit polling that suggested voters felt Newt Gingrich stood the best chance to beat President Obama in the fall general election, challenger Mitt Romney's team today said a Gingrich nomination would guarantee an Obama second term.

"The possibility of Newt Gingrich being our nominee against Barack Obama, I think, is essentially handing the election over to Obama if it got to that point. And I think that's shared by a lot of folks in the Republican Party," said Romney cheerleader Tim Pawlenty.
