The Vanishing Case for Evolution by Henry Morris, Ph.D.
Evolutionary belief is a remarkable and largely unexplained phenomenon. It is a belief held by most intellectuals all over the world, despite the fact that there is no real scientific evidence for it at all.

The American Medical Association has also lobbied legislators at both the state and federal level to make certain that antismoking initiatives at the state and county level actually receive some of the billions of dollars agreed upon in the settlements of major class-action lawsuits against the tobacco corporations. Dr. Duane Cady is particularly concerned that state governments strapped for new sources of income are using the antismoking settlement money for unfunded Medicaid mandates, and thus effectively deflecting the sums from their intended use. That frustrates him as a surgeon, a taxpayer, and a church member.
Cady's colleague and current AMA president John C. Nelson has courageously addressed what he calls "an ongoing epidemic of alcohol abuse in this country," noting that 100,000 people in the U.S. die each year because of untreated alcohol problems. According to Nelson, the economic impact of alcohol is equally staggering: $185 billion per year is "wasted" in criminal justice costs, property damage, and lost worker productivity.
Cady joined the local medical society in the Syracuse, New York, region shortly after he began his surgery practice in 1966, and worked on a variety of regional and state projects, including emergency preparedness, for which he received specialized training from the U.S. military. After nearly 30 years of involvement with organized medicine, he was elected president of the New York State society, and later became a delegate to the AMA House of Delegates. Following a short tenure in the deliberative group, he stood for election as a trustee in 1999, and joined the AMA Board that year.
Reelected in 2003 to a second four-year term in July 2004, Cady was voted chair-elect of the Board, and designated to assume the one-year chairmanship this summer. When his term on the Board of Trustees expires in 2007, the doctor says that he will retire from organized medicine after a career spanning more than 40 years.

Medical research can be divided into two general categories: the evaluation of new treatments for both safety and efficacy in what are termed clinical trials, and all other research that contributes to the development of new treatments. The latter is termed preclinical research if its goal is specifically to elaborate knowledge for the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Bricolage – from the French-language verb bricoler, meaning "to tinker" or "to fiddle" – is that language's equivalent of the English phrase "do-it-yourself".
Bricolage is also often contrasted to engineering: building by trial and error rather than based on theory.
A person who engages in bricolage is a bricoleur. A bricoleur is a person who creates things from existing materials, is creative and resourceful: a person who collects information and things and then puts them together in a way that they were not originally designed to do.

Isaiah 2
19Then shall [the stricken, deprived of all in which they had trusted] go into the caves of the rocks and into the holes of the earth from before the terror and dread of the Lord and from before the glory of His majesty, when He arises to shake mightily and terribly the earth. 20In that day men shall cast away to the moles and to the bats their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which they made for themselves to worship, 21To go into the caverns of the rocks and into the clefts of the ragged rocks from before the terror and dread of the Lord and from before the glory of His majesty, when He rises to shake mightily and terribly the earth. Cross-reference Luke 23:30
1 Corinthians 13 8Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. As for prophecy ( the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth].

We should all improve ourselves as best we can. This includes college education on earning a living in this world, but the overview must be a spiritual focus on eternal life! Jesus has the competitive advantage over technology. God has a way of taking care of ALL of His people.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you as well.
