I believe in creation, so I think evolution is a man-made story to take the place of God and his special act of creating the earh. In the same way, God tells us how the world will end in the prophetic verses of Revelations. The Global Warming believers have created a man-made story to tell us how they think the world will end.
I hope this makes sense. I prefer to believe God’s Word which has been shown to be infallible, not man’s theories, which have changed hundreds of times.
I wonder if he has Kleinfelter’s Syndrome.
Cool.
You might be interested in a discussion I recently where my reliance on the historicity that the crucifixion of Christ was the best attested event in history was labeled “psychotic”.

interesting thought.....
I totally agree about forming a new country called Kurdistan. The Kurds deserve their own sovereign country after the loyalty and gratitude they’ve shown us. Assyrian Christians would be welcome there I am sure, giving them a safe refuge should they need it. They have been great allies. As for the Sunni/Wahhabists and Shias, they will have to fight it out or agree to get along. A free Kurdistan would help us with Iran and keep Turkey in line, too. No downside to it that I can see.
hmmm dont bet on it. Russia is one of the biggest arms suppliers to the world. This little raid just put them in a serious marketing tailspin. If the Syrians not only were blind but didnt realize they were blind then this was some serious military voodoo that happened.
You can bet the israelis and us for that matter have breached their borders for a while without any alarms going off since they had to travel so deep into syrian territory.
Kurdistan, the 2nd democracy in the Middle East. Wait, the 3rd. Israel, Iraq, Kurdistan. Then after that comes Persia and Syria or whatever those tribal areas naturally devolve into. The more countries (especially democracies), the merrier. America finally exporting democracy, I like that plan.
I think Israel should not engage in a joint operation against Iran. Instead, while US attacks Iran, Israel has an option to attack Syria. US could deal with Iran on its own, and it is more effective for Israel to strike Syria soon afterward for its accessibility to Syria. For US, it would be much better to nail Syria, and Hezbollah in the area, so Hezbollah would not be able send reinforcement and supply to the Iranian force.
Oh, my. This is sooooo good.
One possibility is a directed-energy weapon (like the Conventional EMP bomb)
Excellent read
“IDF: Syria’s antiaircraft system most advanced in world”
“Some of these missiles were snatched from the production lines even before being introduced into Russian operation service.”
Thats never a good idea considering India’s experience with Russian equipments. Russian systems even when sufficiently advanced have to go through several rounds of trouble shooting and fixing of glitches before it can provide reliable performance. And Russians have habit of bragging about their weaponry long before it has even reach a stage where it can provide the bare minimum functionality. Considering that off the shelf purchases were made in 2007, it would be highly surprising if that have the air defense network has been operationalized already.
Thank God for this good news.
Excellent points..I agree.
It’s either what you say or the Syrians are too dumb to configure/operate/maintain advanced weapons systems. Might well be a combination of both.
Sounds interesting... I’ll take a look. Thanks!
The Russian workers in the old Soviet Union used to say, “We pretend to work, and they pretend to pay us.” The country has gotten marginally better since then, but old habits die hard. The Russians aren’t best in class in anything (well, except bread, but that’s not a strategic weapon, yet).
Typical hyperbole.From the Ynet article,the only new SAM systems,Syria has now ,is the SA-22 Pantsir & SA-24 short range systems,along with a bunch of SA-3s(1960s vintage) & SA-6(70s).There is no proof that Syria has ordered or has received S-300s.Even if they have,it takes atleast 3-5 years to build an integrated air defense system.
I think Ahmed A Nut Job wants to go down as a martyr so he can get his 72 virgins. The best way he can do this is provoke a war with the U.S. & Israel before he is deposed from within Iran.
This was a great story today and truly the silence by Syria is deafening.
God bless America!
