 Sacrifice
of Thankfulness - Charles Dickens’ A
Christmas Carol has been a spectacular success
down through history. The first movie version
of the book was produced in 1938. Since then
there have been at least five more movies
and seven cartoon versions of the story produced.
Charles Dickens’ story is phenomenally
popular. The important character of the book
and the star of the visual versions is a
miserly Mr. Scrooge who is self-centered,
greedy and mean towards others. He is an
example of an unloving employer toward his
employees as well as others. He thought his
employee was lazy and non-supportive, always
wanting time-off for a silly holiday . .

Must
See: Jericho
Unearthed |
Expedition
Bible - This
site offers an online
video that reveals
the truth about the
battle of Jericho.
The description of
the “walls
falling down” is
among its most well-known
accounts. Yet, the
most famous excavation
of this ancient site,
carried out in the
1950's under the
direction of Kathleen
Kenyon, claims that
there wasn’t
even a city at Jericho—much
less city walls—at
the time when Joshua
supposedly conquered
it. This video is
a must see event
if you have questions
about Jericho. |

| Evolution -
Another Mistake! |
USA
Today - Evolutionists
were embarrassed once
again with a
recent discovery
of skeletal remains
according to
Owen Lovejoy
of Ohio's Kent
State University. He
reported recently
that "Ardi," the
nearly complete
fossil of a 4.4-million-year-old
female human
ancestor is rewriting
the story of
human origins.
According to
the journal Science the
analysis of Ardipithecus
ramidus changes
the notion that
humans and chimps
share lineage
to a creature
more like today's
chimp. |

Year Old Menorah |
Jerusalem
Post - Israeli
archaeologists have
uncovered one of
the earliest depictions
of a menorah, the
seven-branched candelabra
that has come to
symbolize Judaism.
Ancient stone was
engraved about 2,000
years ago with a
seven-branched candelabra,
or menorah, seen
at a synagogue in
the northern town
of Midgal, near Tiberias
. . . "If
you have a depiction
of the menorah from
the time of the temple,
chances are it is
more accurate and
portrays the actual
object than portrayals
from after the destruction
of the temple, when
it was not existent." |

Now Check No "Religion" |
USA
Today - Americans
who don't identify
with any religion
are now 15% of
the USA, but
trends in a new
study show they
could one day
surpass the nation's
largest denominations — including
Catholics, now
24% of the nation .
The report finds:
1)Not all Nones
are alike. Half
(51%) still believe
in God or a higher
power. 2) Nones
also are the
only major U.
S. faith group
that's majority
male. Even when
girls grow up
with unbelieving
parents, they're
more likely to
find a faith
as adults than
their brothers.
