A team of scientists at MIT have developed a computer program that will help humans decide how to best deal with the end of the world, so long as that comes in form of a catastrophic asteroids colliding.

Scientists and other unsaved intellectual are a curious lot of people, on one hand they are smart almost beyond measure, and on the other, dumb as a box of rocks. I say that with charity, and let me tell you why. When the God of the Bible begins to physically judge this fallen world, using literal asteroids and other atmospheric phenomena from the Outer Space He created, it’s going to shock the Hell out of the inhabitants of the Earth. This in spite of the fact that His warnings that this particular judgment was coming has been in print now for nearly 2,000 years. How dumb can you be to miss that? Yet, here we are with MIT scientists using AI to prevent it. That’s funny.

“And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” Revelation 6:12-17 (KJB)

We look back on Noah’s day, the period the bible scholars call the ‘prediluvian ancient world‘ of 6,000 years ago, and we look with pity on the poor, backwards people not smart enough to heed Noah’s 120-year long warning that judgment was coming. Yet, here in the streamlined 21st century, with AI, pre-crime, smart devices, rocket ship travel and all the rest of it, man hasn’t gotten one bit smarter where it counts.

“Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Acts 16:29-31 (KJB)

God’s judgment on this world in Revelation cannot be stopped, no amount of repenting, good deeds or prayer will stop on iota of it, but you can do something about it. You can miss it completely by getting saved right now, and being part of that joyous throng who will be removed from off this Earth in the Pretribulation Rapture. The best part is, it takes no brain power or intelligence at all as men count intelligence. You just have to humble your self before the Lord and ask Him to save you. His word promises He will save all who call upon Him and believe in His name. How about it, MIT geniuses, want something better than your silly AI solutions that will in no wise work? It’s free, take it.

The aim is to use AI to keep the asteroids from entering a gravitational keyhole

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: Experts say there as many as two or three new asteroids, sometimes called ‘Near Earth Objects,’ discovered every night.

It’s inevitable that one of these asteroids will eventually end drifting into a collision course with Earth. ‘People have mostly considered strategies of last-minute deflection, when the asteroid has already passed through a keyhole and is heading toward a collision with Earth,” Sung Wook Paek, of MIT’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, told MIT News.

‘I’m interested in preventing keyhole passage well before Earth impact. It’s like a preemptive strike, with less mess.’

Paek’s team designed the program to evaluate the mass, momentum, trajectory, and time before projected impact to aid humans with the high-stakes decision making involved in averting global catastrophe.

The crux of the decision comes down to something called a gravitational keyhole, a point in space where an asteroid’s orbital path would have it pass into Earth’s gravitational field and gradually circle its way down to the planet surface.

If asteroids can be detected before reaching this point, they can be redirected with minor changes in course—sometimes as little as a few centimeters per second. Yet, with the stakes so high and the windows for success so narrow, there’s little room for human error or hesitation.

The computer came up with a variety of different approaches depending on the amount of time left.

In one simulation where there was five years left before passing through its gravitational keyhole, the simulation sent two scout ships, one to meet the asteroid and measure its exact dimensions and another to nudge it slightly.

Afterward, a full sized impactor vessel was launched to push it all the way off course.

In another simulation, where there was less than a year left before the asteroid entered its keyhole, Paek said, it would be too late for scouts, and just sending a kinetic impactor might not reach the asteroid before it passed through. READ MORE

MIT Developed Simulation To Determine Best Way To Deflect Asteroids

Sung Wook Paek, lead author of a paper appearing in the journal Acta Astronautica this month, said people have mostly considered strategies of last-minute deflection, when an asteroid is heading toward a collision with Earth.

It is nearly impossible to believe now, but there was a time when not only did doctors not wash their hands in the hospitals, they didn’t even know of the existence of disease-causing germs and microbes. But the Bible did.

Since the start of the twentieth century, mind-boggling advances in science, medicine and technology have become commonplace. Diseases that once killed millions now bother almost no one, time-saving devices are everywhere, and with the latest scientific technology we learn more about our universe every day. So it might shock you to realize that the bible knew about many of these things and talked about them thousands of years before any scientist anywhere had a clue.

“O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.” 1 Timothy 6:20,21 (KJV)

Here Are 10 Amazing Things The Bible Knew Before Science Did:

1. OCEAN CURRENTS FOLLOW A PATH: Back in Psalm 8, God tells us that our massive oceans which cover 75% of our Earth run on a specific and chartable path. These paths would not be discovered until thousands of years later when Matthew Maury read about them in his King James Bible, believed God, and in 1855 became the father of modern day Oceanography. “The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!” Psalm 8:8,9 (KJV)
2. OUR UNIVERSE IS WEARING DOWN: The Second Law of Thermodynamics which states that the world we live in exists in a state of entropy, which is to say it is wearing down and growing old. This was discovered through painstaking research from 1824 to 1873, but was right there in the Bible the whole time where God clearly points out that our world is in a process of wearing out. “Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.” Psalm 102:25-27 (KJV)
3. OUR UNIVERSE IS EXPANDING: In the early Twentieth Century, Albert Einstein declared that our universe and solar system were static, and this was a widely-held belief among academia. But work done by astronomer Edwin Hubble in 1929 proved otherwise when he showed that galaxies were actually retreating at an ever-increasing rate of speed. Einstein eventually corrected his miscalculations and from that point on taught of an expanding universe. But in we read in the Bible that God created a system that was expanding as a result of being stretched out. “The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.” Zechariah 12:1 (KJV)
4. LIGHT CAN BE SENT AND TALK: With the invention of the radio, man proved that light could be sent in a directed path and once arrived at its destination manifest itself in human speech. Radio waves and light waves are both part and parcel of the larger electromagnetic wave system. The difference between radio and light waves is their frequency, but radio waves are a form of light. Naturally, the Bible knew all about light that could be sent and radio waves that could be made to speak. “Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?” Job 38:35 (KJV)
5. THE HUMAN BODY IS MADE OF THE SAME ELEMENTS AS SOIL: Scientists have found out that our human bodies are composed of 28 base and trace elements some of which are oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen, along with calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, sulfur and others. These are exactly the same elements found in soil, which is where the Bible declared God formed Adam from. “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Genesis 2:7 (KJV)
6. LIGHT CAN BE DIVIDED: It wasn’t until the 18th and 19th centuries that scientists like Sir Isaac Newton and other discovered many fascinating things about light like the fact that it can be divided, or parted, and then recombined. FUN FACT: light when it is parted displays the same 7 color bands that make up the rainbow. But God in the book of Job had already told us that light can be parted. “By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?” Job 38:24 (KJV)
7. EVERYTHING IS MADE UP OF INVISIBLE ELEMENTS: In the 19th century and forward, with the discovery of the existence of protons, neutrons and electrons, we began to understand that everything that we can see with our eyes sits on a structure that is very real and completely invisible to the naked eye. The apostle Paul was the first one to break this news flash to us in the book of Hebrews.  “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” Hebrews 11:3 (KJV)
8. WASHING HANDS STOPS SPREAD OF DISEASE: It is nearly impossible to believe now, but there was a time when not only did doctors not wash their hands in the hospitals, they didn’t even know of the existence of disease-causing germs and microbes. But in 1846, a doctor by the name of Ignaz Semmelweis figured out that washing hands between patients in running water instead of a bowl of still water saved lives. And it was not the soap that was responsible, it was the running water carrying away the germs. Of course, that information had already been published in the Bible for thousands of years. “And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.” Leviticus 15:13 (KJV)
9. OUR LIFE IS IN OUR BLOOD: For nearly all of human history, science has been ignorant that human life exists in the quality of the blood in our bodies. It is only relatively recently that science has learned how to test the blood in order to diagnose health issues. Blood-letting was practiced for centuries which only served to speed the death of its victims. Practices like this existed because doctors were ignorant of the functions of our blood. This is how our first president George Washington died. But the Bible had already declared that life is in our blood way back in Leviticus.“For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.” Leviticus 17:11 (KJV)
10. EVERYTHING IS FINISHED: The First Law of Thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy, and thermodynamic processes are therefore subject to the principle of conservation of energy. This means that heat energy cannot be created or destroyed. That matter cannot be created and cannot be destroyed comes from observations and research done beginning in the late 18th century. But anyone who had a Bible that contained the book of Genesis already knew that creation was all finished during the first week of God’s creation. “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.” Genesis 2:1,2 (KJV)

Here we have shown you 10 big things the Bible knew and talked about thousands of years before the medical and scientific communities discovered them, but there are dozens and perhaps even one hundred more places where the Bible does this. Like when it tells us that the Earth is round. Some of the greatest discoveries were made by Christians like Sir Isaac Newtown and Matthew Maury because they believed in what the Bible said, went looking for the truth, and found it!

“The rule is, never to forget who is the Author of the great volume which nature spreads out before us.”— Matthew Fontaine Maury

Of course, the greatest thing the Bible tells us that millions of people live right now would love to know the answer to, is how to live forever.

In May 2012, Mark Armitage went on a dinosaur dig at the famous fossil site of Hell Creek in Montana, where he unearthed the largest triceratops horn ever found there. Back at CSUN, he put the fossil under his microscope and made the startling discovery: unfossilized, undecayed tissue was present.

The evolutionists present to you a case that is so fragile it needs deception, trickery and outright fraud to perpetuate it. They love to trot out people like Bill Nye, not a scientist, to force feed you slop about dinosaurs being “millions of years” old. They want you to believe that, they need you to believe that. Why? So they can show you how the Bible is not true, and that creation didn’t really happen the way the Bible says it did.

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Genesis 1:1 (KJV)

Mark Armitage was a scientist at California State University, where he and his work were highly respected by students and peers alike. While at the Hell Creek Formation excavation site in Montana, Armitage discovered what he believed to be the largest triceratops horn ever unearthed at the site. Inside that horn, Armitage found soft tissue that would not be present in a fossil from millions of years ago. His discovery was earth-shattering to the scientific community, and instead of being praised, he was immediately fired from his position. You can’t have people exposing the lie of evolution on campus, that just won’t work.

You can fight the Bible all you like, and bring out all the phony and corrupt phony scientists like Bill Nye to say otherwise, but the biblical account of creation is true. Man and dinosaurs did indeed exist at the same time, and Armitage’s amazing discovery is just further proof of that fact.

CSUN Scientist Fired After Soft Tissue Found On Dinosaur Fossil

FROM GOD REPORTS: If the dinosaur were 65 million years old, the soft tissue could not have possibly remained, he says. His findings seconded groundbreaking discoveries by noted molecular paleontologist Mary Schweitzer, who triggered an earthquake in the world of paleontology when she published about soft tissue in dinosaur bones in 2005. (Schweitzer subsequently postulated that iron is responsible for preserving the soft tissue.)

Mark Armitage’s February 2013 study was published in the peer-reviewed Acta Histochemica, a journal of cell and tissue research. Two week later, he found himself without a job. A biology professor had come into his office and said, “We are not going to tolerate your religion in this department.”

Armitage fought back. Professors and students alike had praised his work managing the microscope lab. His suit alleged he was excluded from a secret meetings of the microscopy committee. In a “smoking gun” email, university officials suggested they could ease Armitage out of his part-time position by making it full-time, Reinach said.

A colleague described the process as a “witch hunt,” according to Inside Higher Ed.

For two years, CSUN fought Armitage’s lawsuit. The university alleged his firing was simply a restructuring of their biology department and not a case of religious discrimination. But CSUN lost its bid to have the judge summarily throw the case out of court as groundless in July of last year.

So CSUN settled with Armitage for $399,500 in 2016, according to Inside Higher Ed.

Alan Reinach, Armitage’s attorney, hailed the settlement as precedent-setting.

“We are not aware of any other cases where a creationist received a favorable outcome,” said Reinach, executive director of the Church State Council, a nonprofit California public interest legal organization. “This was truly a historic case.”

CSUN has downplayed its decision to settle, saying in a statement that the university is committed to religious freedom and freedom of speech.

“The Superior Court did not rule on the merits of Mr. Armitage’s complaint, and this voluntary settlement is not an indication of wrong-doing,” according to a CSUN statement published in Retraction Watch. “The decision to settle was based on a desire to avoid the costs involved in a protracted legal battle, including manpower, time and state dollars.”

But Reinach countered: “They certainly would not have paid that kind of money if they did not recognize that we had them dead to rights. The state doesn’t put large, six-figure settlement money out unless they are really concerned they are going to lose.”

Prior to looking for soft tissue in dinosaur bones, Armitage studied diatoms, unicellular organisms that make up phytoplankton, which reveal a dizzying complexity and organization at the microscopic level.

According to Armitage, the beauty and complexity of diatoms lends credence to the idea they are a product of a Creator and not of spontaneous evolution.

“Evolution is structure supported by two pillars: one is chance, and the other is time. Chance is required because we obviously can’t say that a thinking force created life on earth. That is anathema for the materialists. If you kick out one of those two pillars the whole structure collapses,” Armitage noted. “If you kick out chance by showing incredible design, the structure of evolution starts to totter and it may crash. Because you cannot have design in a world that doesn’t have a Designer.

“The other pillar is time because you cannot get a man from a frog unless the princess kissed the frog. That’s a fairy tale. So in science you have to have deep time to get evolution.” READ MORE
