make believe?

• Living elephants are descendants of a fairly small tapir-like mammal that lived 45 million years ago. That mammal is called a Meoritherium, which was named after Egypt's Lake Moeris, near which the remains were discovered.
• Whales and dolphins have small bones imbedded in the side muscle, which are rudiments of a pelvic girdle and sometimes the femur. These bones in some species serve as a point of insertion are otherwise vestigial.
• Fossils of Aborigines in Australia date back as far as 38,000 years.
• Archaeocetes, the first whale, lived in the Eocene period, 50,000 years ago.
• Humans have vestigial organs, such as tail vertebrae, ear wiggling muscles, appendix, wisdom teeth,and a nictitating membrane (third eyelid.)
• The general appearance of more primtive fossils appearing deeper than the more advanced fossils is predicted by evolutionary theory.
• Whale flippers, bat wings and the human hand all have similiar bone structure.
• There are 4,300 species of mammals, 6,300 species of reptiles and 9,000 species of birds. There are 85 species of Cetacean (whales and dolphins.) There are ten sperate species of skunk. Why would God create ten species of skunk? Could it be that different species evolved in different areas? Huh?

These are just a few things to think about that make the Biblical version of creation impossible. You do not need to be a Free Thinker to realize this...just a thinker.

Why would God create over 2,000 species of fruit flies and decide to put 1/4 of them in the Hawaiin Islands?

insurance?

We got a new insurance company for the new year. It is some tiered plan that is simply another way for someone to cut costs at the expense of the little guy.

Here is a quote from the packet of information I just received:

"Perhaps most important, this plan gives you the tools you need to become an informed consumer and enjoy better health. It helps you learn the true cost of your health care and use that information to make better choices and decisions. When you buy other goods and services, you shop for the best quality for the lowest price. Now you can do the same with health care."

Translated that means that if you go to a neurologist when a family practice physician could see you then you will be paying for the difference. Now I can see the benefits in many cases but when a true medical condition exists that is being treated by a neurologist then a neurologist should be seen,without paying extra.

I thought the purpose of insurance was to help not cause a cerebral hemmorhage. I do not want to spend extra money and brain power on my health. I just want to feel good.
