  1. This is a special photo of Centaurus A , which is the closest active galaxy to planet Earth, spanning over 60,000 light-years! But the reason this image is special is because something special was added to it that is never seen, invisible “Magnetic Field Lines”. What this image above is showing us are the “Magnetic Field Lines” at the very center of the photo, see the orange and white “strings” in the center? Humans cannot see such invisible magnetic field lines, but this photo was taken by “SOFIA”, not our very nice Sister Sofia here on JWtalk, but taken by SOFIA(Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy). So SOFIA was able to capture infrared rays of light from Centaurus A. Then to help everyone “see” on this photo where exactly these invisible magnetic field lines were, they essentially colored in these magnetic field lines(orange/white) to make them “pretend” visible so that these magnetic field lines could be easier to visualize, analyze and appreciate. SO WHAT MIGHT WE LEARN FROM JEHOVAH’S CREATION OF GALAXIES? Magnetic fields are vital in the growth and shape of Galaxy formations. But these magnetic fields are invisible! So if we could sit and observe a specific galaxy for thousands or millions of years and watch it grow and develop, we would likely be quite puzzled at how this galaxy was forming, because we could not see those invisible magnetic field lines shaping the galaxy. Then we might even start speculating and be wrong about how galaxies are formed because we had a wrong judgment about how the galaxy was developing since we could not visually see the invisible force behind the exquisite shape and formation of galaxies. LESSON: Try now to think of a brother or sister in your area or that you have known that you so appreciate and value because of their wonderful and seemingly perfect personality! This highly spiritual and loving brother or sister seems to be just so naturally wonderful. You might have even said to yourself, “That brother/sister is so wonderful and so naturally gifted and talented, they must have great genes!” But if that brother or sister has been a friend of Jehovah’s for many years or likely decades, then the formation and growth of their personality comes from something “invisible” that you and I cannot see! That brother or sister’s beautiful “New Personality” is only formed by invisible Holy Spirit granted by the Creator, just like the invisible magnetic field lines that Jehovah created which are essential in the formation of galaxies. So imagine if we had a special camera/lens that would make the invisible Holy Spirit “visible” to our eyes? Wow, imagine what it would be like to see the Holy Spirit freely flowing in that brother or sister we know and love in whom the “New Personality” has been forming and growing for all these years and decades! If we could see such an incredible thing through a special camera/lens, how spiritually motivated we would be! However, It is very interesting to consider that the vast majority of astronomers, astrophysicists, and cosmologists don’t have access to SOFIA and that special infrared, High-resolution camera, yet these scientists are still highly motivated to learn whatever they can about just how exactly such invisible magnetic fields help the amazing formation of galaxies! Similarly, there is obviously no special camera or lens for us to see the invisible Holy Spirit, yet we also should be highly motivated when we think of what Jehovah’s powerful Spirit can do for the person we want to become! For example, if we are motivated, we can immediately start requesting of Jehovah something similar to this: “Father, please grant me your powerful yet invisible Holy Spirit and help me to cultivate your many beautiful and magnificent qualities so that I can become more like you Father! I ask of you to please allow your Holy Spirit to freely flow in me so that I too can put on the wonderful “New Personality” that is made in your beautiful image!” And in the future if anyone ever says to you, “You have this wonderful quality about you!” Or they say, “You have such a magnetic personality”, maybe that person can “see” something special about you even though how you developed your New Personality was a result of, not invisible magnetic field lines, but as a result of another invisible force that no one ever saw within you forming and shaping your personality! But don’t worry at all if you don’t get many compliments or commendation about your “New” personality, because in the 1st Century, sadly the vast majority of Israelites could not “see” that Jesus had a very special personality!
  2. When we talk with someone who believes strongly in evolution, we might feel sometimes overwhelmed at what to say or we may wonder, "What possible example can I share with such a person that is simple yet powerful to prove creation/design?" Well here is 1 possible example. The next time we talk with someone who wants to discuss evolution, we can simply ask them to compare evolution vs. the incredible "reproduction" of life. Here is a simple but powerful reasoning that came from an article on an "Intelligent Design" website. https://evolutionnews.org/2018/11/why-evolution-and-reproduction-are-unnatural/
  3. Sometimes we encounter people who believe in evolution and who glorify Charles Darwin. But yet they may be unaware that Darwin had "co-discovered" the theory of natural selection with a colleague named Alfred Russel Wallace. But yet this colleague broke away from Darwin soon after, because while their theories were similar, there was a major difference! And 1 author wrote this interesting statement, "Wallace broke with Darwin and became, arguably, the founding father of modern intelligent design theory."

  5. I thought that many of you would very much appreciate seeing exact quotes from some of the most renown Theoretical Physicists and Cosmologists in our modern day about the initial condition of the universe. I think these are important because when we are witnessing to atheists, agnostics or anyone interested in how or if science can provide some evidence of intelligent design or a Creator, rather than getting into any kind of debate about whether a "Big Bang" occurred or not, here is 1 thing that all of the top scientists agree on - that the initial condition of the universe was not chaotic or random at all, but the complete opposite. They all agree that there was a high degree of order. How much order? Well their statements express it very clearly. I hope that these quotes and this idea of using the "special" initial condition of the universe to give an excellent witness to others which facts are backed by the scientific community will help any and all who will listen to us. Max Tegmark - Cosmologist and Professor at MIT "Our universe started out in a very unusual orderly state" Brian Greene - Professor and Theoretical Physicist at Columbia University and Author of "Fabric of the Cosmos" "The ultimate source of order, of low entropy, must be the very beginning of the universe" Sylvester James Gates Jr. - Theoretical physicist, Professor at University of Maryland, serves on President Obama's Council of Advisors on Science "The Big Bang is a highly ordered state, it is probably the most ordered event in all of physics" Sir Roger Penrose - Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford, 1 of the world's leading mathematical physicists and joint winner of the Wolf prize with Stephen Hawking for their contribution to the understanding of the universe: (speaking about the special initial state of the universe and the low entropy) "...you can actually work this out, it's so special that the odds against the special initial state coming about by chance are less than one part in 10 to the power, 10 to the power (123)... So if you try to write this out 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000(continue)… to put one zero on every particle of the observable universe you’d be way short... I just want to give you some feeling for how special the initial state of the universe was!" "I cannot even recall seeing anything else in physics whose accuracy is known to approach, even remotely, a figure like 1 part in 10 to the power, 10 to the power (123)."
  6. I'd like to share an interesting site from the University of Manchester, that allows you to create your own earth in three forms - recent earth, ancient earth and alien earth. Using parameters such as temperature, climate, tilt etc, the program models what the planet would have been like. In the case of recent earth, it shows a snapshot of what our planet was like, say in 1975. That's useful in itself for showing the changes on earth in our lifetime. I find this fascinating! I hope someone here will too. It's not too complicated, and I've included the lecture notes for the instructions and interpretations from the modelling. http://www.buildyourownearth.com/ https://www.dropbox.com/s/icckq0vx820rqwa/Build%20Your%20Own%20Earth.pdf?dl=0
  7. This is an amazing view of one of Jehovah's creations that is very close to us: http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20150508-these-mites-live-on-your-face
  8. Very Interesting Fibonacci numbers found in human hand & arm. Is Jehovah marvelous or what! Humans exhibit Fibonacci characteristics, too. The Golden Ratio is seen in the proportions in the sections of a finger. It is also worthwhile to mention that we have 8 fingers in total, 5 digits on each hand, 3 bones in each finger, 2 bones in 1 thumb, and 1 thumb on each hand. The ratio between the forearm and the hand is the Golden Ratio! http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/emat6680/parveen/fib_nature.htm
  9. One of the other areas I find fascinating in the Creation is the Stalagmites & Stalagtites . In Australia we have so far like 10,000 Caves with these underworld hidden treasures. A result of water left from the Flood. One of my Favorite Caves is Jenolan Caves located 3 hrs North West of the Blue Mountains & Sydney. This is the entrance to the hidden caves. In this area so far 400 caves have been found, Yet there are still more to be found. In the entrance are these flurescent lights. They have recently been changed. the first set were installed when the first Light globe was created pretty much. It was said they lasted 100 yrs plus.
