It was like something from a dream. At first, Rob Howes and
three other lifeguards had no idea why a group of dolphins raced
in and herded them together; and why, when he tried to drift away
from the group, two of the bigger dolphins herded him back.
"They started to herd us up, they pushed all four of us
together by doing tight circles around us."
Then, in a quick instant, he saw why.
Just below the surface, a 10-foot (3m) great white shark was
heading toward the group.
"I just recoiled. It was only about two metres (6.5 ft) away
from me, the water was crystal clear and it was as clear as the
nose on my face," said Howes.
He then realized what the dolphins had been doing, and in fact
continued to do for a full 40 minutes until they were able to
reach the shore.
Matt Fleet, who was patrolling nearby in a rescue boat, saw the
dolphins' strange behavior and dove into the water to see what was
going on. He quickly saw the shark, and trying not to panick,
got out of the water in a hurry.
"I just kept looking around to see where it was."
Marine mammal research scientist Rochelle Constantine said that
dolphins were normally courageous in the presence of sharks.
Without a doubt, the incident proves his point.
Poll: Creation Beats Evolutionism
by Jonathan

S: CBS.com (11-22-04)
A recent CBS poll found that most Americans do not believe humans
evolved, and that, even if they did evolve, God guided the
process. Only 13% said God was not involved.
God created humans in present form: 55%
Humans evolved, God guided the process: 27%
Humans evolved, God did not guide process: 13%
Also, about two-thirds of Americans want creation taught
alongside evolutionism, while 37% want creation to replace
evolutionism outright.
Creation and evolutionism: 65%
Creation instead of evolutionism: 37%
The polls do not come as a surprise entirely, as they have
been conducted before in years past. They do come as a
surprise, however, in light of the supremacy of evolutionary
indoctrination through the mainstream media and public schools at
large.
What's clear is this: Americans need some convincing.
Asteroid Didn't Kill Dinosaurs

It comes as startling new
evidence for evolutionary scientists who thought that the
Chicxulub crater in Mexico was the "smoking gun" of what
killed 70 percent of living species at the Cretaceous-Tertiary
(a.k.a. K-T) boundary 65 million years ago.
"What Gerta Keller is showing us is that there is reason to
doubt. (The smoking gun) can't be even a 100 years older
than the K-T boundary. There is room for inquiry here," said
Spencer Lucas, curator of paleontology and geology at the New
Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science.
What evidence does Gerta Keller provide that raises such
doubts? In short, several lines of geological evidence from
Chicxulub that make the case for the infamous crater having been
formed about 300,000 years before the mass extinction, which
occurred some 65 million years ago (according to evolutionary
scientists).
What's interesting is that Keller and her colleagues' purpose in
drilling from Yaxcopoil 1 (a significant borehole) was to provide
final, irrefutable evidence that Chicxulub was fully
responsible. Instead, they found that it wasn't.
According to Keller, layers from the Yaxcopoil 1 borehole are
stacked like newspapers and are older as you go down, telling of
the Chicxulub impact with the broken "breccia"
rocks. On top of the breccia is roughly two feet of
gently-laid-down, thinly layered seafloor mud "built up over
300,000 years." Those two feet of post-impact mud have
the fossils, carbon isotopes and magnetic signal of the late
Cretaceous. What's the problem? That's long before the
mass die-off of the dinosaurs. It's two feet higher, or 300,000
years later, until a sharp change in carbon isotopes and changes in
microfossils show the massive K-T extinction event, according to
Keller.
Nothing is yet fully conclusive, but the findings only go to show
that scientists are far from certain as to what killed
the dinosaurs.
