I want my Blog to always be full of surprises, never boring, to stimulate my readers to become “hounds for truth”. I will not get ourselves permanently bogged down in the dastardly doings of mankind, so todays post is not heavy going, I hope you enjoy this thought provoking item below. We shall, of course continue to publish relevant updates together with an antidote of hope from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley )
It is utterly amazing to this monkey that you humans cannot grasp how utterly foolish the belief in evolution really is. Consider the Woodpecker. This bird’s design features are discussed in the wonderful article below by David Catchpoole of Creation Ministries. Surely it shreds any “theory of evolution” and testifies to the Almighty Creator. The latest Creation Magazine is out, this incredible magazine, $32 for 4 issues, is available at: https://creation.com/magazines Don’t leave home without it! Gibber! Gibber! Chugley Woodpecker head-banging wonder by David Catchpoole Woodpeckers hammer wood with their bills. They drill holes in trees when foraging, or to excavate storage holes or cavity nests. The pecking impact forces are huge. The woodpecker’s head suddenly comes to an abrupt halt when the beak hits the wood, resulting in deceleration forces of the order of 1,200 g (i.e. 1,200 times the force of gravity).1 In stark contrast, just 300 g will leave a human concussed or with serious brain injury. Some woodpeckers might even be able to tolerate impact forces up to 6,000 g!2 And this is repeated head-bashing—around 18 to 22 times per second3—yet with no sign of blackout or brain damage. A major challenge confronting engineers has been the need for a new shock-absorbing system for protecting micro-devices, i.e. improving g-force tolerance for use in high-g environments. Amazed at the woodpecker’s head-banging resilience, a team of engineers investigated its “advanced shock-absorbing mechanism”.1,4 With the help of x-ray computed tomography (CT) images of the woodpecker’s skeletal structures, the engineers highlighted the shock-absorbing capacities of: The beak made of elastic material The hyoid (muscles and tendons supporting the throat and tongue and reinforcing the head) A spongy bone specially located behind the beak A special skull bone containing spinal fluid These features “stand in a row”, sequentially cushioning and dissipating the “mechanical excitations”, preventing brain injury.1 Other researchers confirm that it is the…
No wonder he was called the King. My keeper, Algy, urged me to share this video clip. I do find his soothing tones singing Gospel songs inspiring, and a welcome change from protest rallies. I trust you also enjoy a breather. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley
After another week of witnessing the destruction of your country I thought this clever satirical advertisement appropriate. It encapsulates some of the old Australian cutting edge sense of humour. So don’t lose your sense of humour readers! I’ll keep mine ticking along. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley The Thinking Chimp PS: Check out my new shop! A purchase supports our work, strengthens your faith, and helps the work of our suppliers. Good business Chimp style. Stay tuned, more products are on the way. Now see Greg Willis’ series of DVD’s featuring the end times. Many think he is todays Barry Smith! Gibber! Gibber! Chugley Go to: chugley.blog/store/ Cut and paste this link.
After another fraught week, this old song was sent to me. It brought back many pleasant memories of gentler times – and I hope it does for you. Some purists may nit pick some of the theology, but this monkey feels the artistic worth surpasses these minor flaws. Thanks to Gerry for sending through the clip below about the amazing effect of Ivermectin on an 80 year old woman suffering from the WuFlu. Plus more eye opening comments from Doctors. Any thinking Aussie surely must question why this medicine is not administered to patients in Australia and we are persisting with lockdowns. It seems the Truckies have some valid points to make on Tuesday……There is hope emerging from many quarters. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley
Robert Firth, our retired Airline pilot friend, shares his reaction after being asked by NASA to visit the Space Station: NASA called me this morning asking if I wanted a seat on the next trip to the space station. I said “No thanks, I’m not much interested. The guy was confused, “We’re offering you the chance of a lifetime.” I asked him , “What’s in space?” He said “Nothing.” I said “Exactly!” I then asked asked him: “If I go, can I get a western omelet, grits and home fries with a short stack?” He laughed and said “No, just freeze dried glop” well, what else can I do up there? Well, he said, “Not much, we have a tread mill and you can look out the window.” That doesn’t sound very exciting, what else? “Hey, you can put on a space suit and go on a space walk., that’s interesting. So, I said, how long does it take to put on a space suit? ” Oh, about 3 hours.” And, if I exit the ship I’m tied by a rope? “Yup, tethered we call it.” What if the rope breaks, can I get back? “No, there’s no way back.” What happens then? “Well you eventually run out of air and die then you get dragged into the atmosphere and burn up” “Gee”, I said, “I think I’ll pass, but thanks for the invite!” “Well, before I go. Can I put you down for a trip to the moon or Mars?” I quietly hung up! A wise decision Captain Firth! I remember my relation Ham, he was sorely tested….Search “Ham” in the Search window on my Blog for the full story.. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley
Robert J. Firth is a retired Airline Captain with over 28,000 hours of flying time. He is also a prolific Author, and an aircraft dealer based in Florida USA. I am going to serialise his book Atheists are Idiots on Saturdays, and will feature an aircraft of the week for my readers considering avoiding the China virus disrupted Airports. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING ATHEISTS 3 PREFACE Antitheism (sometimes anti-theism) implies an opposition to theism. The etymological roots of the word lie in the Greek anti-and theismos. The term has had a range of applications; in secular contexts, it typically refers to a direct opposition to organized religion or, to the belief in any deity. While in a theistic context, it sometimes refers to opposition of a specific god or gods. The antitheist is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as “One opposed to belief in the existence of a god.” The earliest citation given for this meaning is from 1833. An antitheist may be opposed to belief in the existence of any god or gods, not merely one in particular. This book is not necessarily written to convert anyone to a recognition or belief in our creator but, if such were to be the case, that’s all to the good. Rather, the book is meant to provide the reader with some logical and thoughtful reasoning concerning those who do believe in a creator and those who proclaim that such does not exist. We don’t wish to “sell” anyone on anything, especially, any particular belief system. Our purpose is rather to acquaint the reader with the rich heritage of theistic and anti-theistic thought that many of us, both those living and those not, have had to say on the subject. Today, not all, but a majority of…
A teenage boy has died in hospital a week after being stung by a Box Jellyfish. Tommy Johnson was swimming at Patterson Point near Bamaga, in Cape York in Far North Queensland on February 22 when he was stung. … It is believed to be the first fatality from a box jellyfish sting in 15 years. A timely reminder of the results of Adam and Eve’s fall. Thank you Creation Ministries for this insightful article. Gibber! Gibber! Chugley Skeptics challenge: a ‘God of love’ created a killer jellyfish? by David Catchpoole When Christians point to the complexity of living things as evidence for a Designer (i.e. God), scoffers love to object that many of these same ‘design features’ are used to hunt and capture prey, or alternatively, to incapacitate predators. Of the box jellyfish, for example, ‘that most venomous marine creature’, one anti-creationist (and non-scientist) asks that if God is good, and ‘if he is the originator of all species, governed by the law of Love’, why should he make them with ‘such gratuitous and ingenious cruelty’? And, ‘Who would want to be killed by a jellyfish, even a box jellyfish?’1 He concludes, ‘Better no god than this one.’From a biblical framework, Christians can present a logical answer to any scoffer’s challenge. When answering similar challenges about defence-attack structures (DAS) in general, Christians should remember that the Bible teaches that the original diet of both humans and animals was vegetarian (Genesis 1:29–30). Thus there was no death of humans or vertebrate animals, which the Hebrew Bible calls nephesh chayyāh (נֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה). Plants and invertebrates are not described that way, so are not ‘living creatures’ in the same biblical sense. It was only the Fall of Adam that brought death and suffering into the world (Genesis 3:19, Romans 8:20–22) when God cursed the whole creation. From this biblical framework, Christians can present a logical…
