The video you see here is a 10-minute lecture and presentation by Dr. Alexander Tsiaras, a well-known mathematician, scientist, and author who has authored a book called From Conception to Birth: A Life Unfolds.
The lecture and video presentation from Dr. Tsiaras are absolutely fascinating. He is not a Christian, so the video contains his attempt to grapple with the sheer complexity of the human body without acknowledging God’s amazing role in the entire process. But Dr. Tsiaras struggles to describe the staggering intricacies of the human body using words like “magic” to describe the process of fetal development. He seems so close to recognizing God, and yet so far away.
Personhood Mississippi, the organization that sponsored the failed amendment, recently distributed the poll’s findings. Not surprisingly, the poll shows that many of the “No” votes came from those voters who were heavily influenced by the group Mississippians for Health Families (MHF), a front group for abortion giant Planned Parenthood. What was surprising was the small number of voters (only 8%) who opposed the amendment because they see themselves as “pro-choice.” The rest of those who voted against the amendment were voters influenced by MHF’s lies about the amendment’s eventual effects.
The first recorded Christian Thanksgiving in America occurred in Texas on May 23, 1541 when Spanish explorer, Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, led 1,500 men in a thanksgiving celebration at the Palo Duro Canyon. Another early celebration of thanks took place on the banks of the James River in Virginia in 1619. But it was the Pilgrims’ three-day feast celebrated in early November of 1621, which most Americans now popularly regard as the “First Thanksgiving.”
Read about these and other celebrations of God’s providence, as well as the writings of the spiritual and governmental leaders who shaped the event we now celebrate each November in America.
Many of us Christians consider ourselves to be 100% pro-life. We affirm that every human possesses the image of God from the moment of conception, a reality that makes abortion unthinkable in any circumstance. However, being 100% pro-life requires more than our opposition to surgical and chemical abortion.
A new article in the New York Post, entitled “The End of Down Syndrome,” details a new type of scientific test that can detect Down Syndrome in unborn children.
However, based on the article’s shocking implications, it would be more aptly titled “The End of Down Syndrome Children.” Though the article’s original title seems to promise a cure to the genetic disorder, the piece instead delivers a look at our culture’s obsession with perfection and our willingness to kill for it.
