This Changes Everything?

Yesterday someone sent me a link to a History Channel web site page featuring the following headline: THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

Below the headline, right after I opened the page, an animation started to play that read:

A GLOBAL EVENT

WITNESS THE MOST IMPORTANT FIND IN 47 MILLION YEARS

I have to confess my interest was piqued a bit by the drama of it all.

The person who sent me the link pondered what the countdown clock on the page at the end of the animation was leading to. What is the History Channel planning to present to us at 9 p.m. Eastern on May 25, 2009 that is going to, well, change everything? It HAS to be incredible to do THAT, right?

Perhaps we are being primed for a disclosure of findings supportive of extraterrestrial life existing in the universe, proving we are not alone. Perhaps the History Channel is going to reveal that the moon landings of our astronauts was faked or maybe that 9/11 was an inside job or that Barack Obama's birth certificate has finally been disclosed to the public and he is not a natural born U.S. citizen! What could it be?

Ida, the amazing lemur monkey human girl

If you haven't heard by now, a number of paleontologists are suggesting they have found the 'missing link' that proves Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is true. Sky News is reporting it like this, in part:

The search for a direct connection between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom has taken 200 years - but it was presented to the world today at a special news conference in New York.

The discovery of the 95%-complete 'lemur monkey' - dubbed Ida - is described by experts as the "eighth wonder of the world".

They say its impact on the world of palaeontology will be "somewhat like an asteroid falling down to Earth".

Researchers say proof of this transitional species finally confirms Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, and the then radical, outlandish ideas he came up with during his time aboard the Beagle.

Sir David Attenborough said Darwin "would have been thrilled" to have seen the fossil - and says it tells us who we are and where we came from.

Yes, you read right! Finally, after striving to prove Charles Darwin's fairy tale is true forever it seems, the Darwinists have found the long-sought 'missing link' (again) and they are just giddy! One starry-eyed dreamer is seen in a video embedded on the Sky News page looking at Ida's little fossilized monkeyness while saying, "Wow!" Another Darwinist is seen placing a hand on his comrade's shoulder in the video as he looks at the fossil, the two of them sharing the emotional, everything-changing moment together.

Question: Did everything around you just change upon reading the above? When I read it, the only thing that changed here was my mood, but if you want to tune in and see the big May 25th event on the History Channel so you won't miss the most incredible find EVER (Ida, the fossilized lemur not related to a human being in any fashion), flip the channel over there for a bit. Watching the Darwinists and narrator try to sell this find to us as proof of evolution will be every bit as humorous to watch as an episode of 'Everybody Loves Raymond' if you believe the Word of God as thoroughly as I do which could, in an odd sort of way, hold some entertainment value.

Will I watch some of the show? Honestly, I'll probably watch a bit of it, at least long enough to hear some well-learned, scholarly genius tell the whole (gullible) world that the bones of a four-legged, long-tailed primate the size of a small cat is a distant cousin of ours. Why? That's comedy. Pure comedy.

If we evolved, there should be remains of millions, maybe even billions, of transitional species to be found and yet they can only find one? One little Ida, the amazing lemur monkey human girl? Give me a break. They should have warehouses full of 'missing links' by now as hard as the practitioners of the religion of Darwinism, yes religion, have been trying to make their case, but they don't, mostly because God's Word is true and there are none to be found, but I digress.

Bring on the haters!

Undoubtedly, as soon as I post this commentary, I am going to be deluged with a pile of hate mail from those who believe Darwin has finally been proven correct as the Sky News article seems to state as fact, but I'm far from alone in dismissing the findings as significant.

Ken Ham, president of the apologetics ministry Answers in Genesis, is quoted as saying the following, in part, on the issue in a OneNewsNow.com article:

"Because the fossil is similar to a modern lemur (a small, tailed, tree-climbing primate), it's unlikely that creationists need any interpretation of the 'missing link' other than that it was a small, tailed, probably tree-climbing, and now extinct primate -- from a kind created on Day 6 of Creation Week."

While I was pleased to read that Ken Ham is addressing Ida head on, I've never needed to have an interpretation of any purported 'missing link' provided me. Common sense is something I was blessed with, not to mention a little thing called FAITH that keeps me grounded in the truth as recorded in God's Word. Then there's all the evidence I've been documenting here for years indicating that everything foretold in the prophecies of the Bible are currently posturing for fulfillment at an ever-quickening pace, something way more conclusive of where the truth concerning our existence rests than a pile of rotting monkey bones!

Conclusion: This fossil the grave diggers have named Ida? It isn't going to "change everything!" It is going to change absolutely nothing as time and the fulfillment of Bible prophecy will bear witness to, but here is a link to a video teaser of the big May 25th event for you to chew on until nauseous: NON-MISSING LINK TO HISTORY CHANNEL VIDEO

Come quickly, Lord Jesus! I've got a headache!
