Strong Evidence that Jesus Will Be Returning Soon

I am indebted to another site for the following information found on http://www.thepropheticyears.com/wordpress/the-prophetic-end-of-the-age-is-likely-to-occur-around-2030-ad.html

I have copied just a small excerpt. I decided not to give that author's timing predictions because I feel that can be dangerous. Jesus made it clear that NO-ONE knows the exact date  However, this excerpt is sufficient to show the evidence. Here it is:

"........ If we are that close to the second coming, then the stage for some of the end time prophetic events should already be observable in the world.

For example (according to the Bible),

* we should be able to observe that Israel is back in the land surrounded by enemies;

* we should see a powerful nation far north of Israel with the military capabilities to fulfill the Gog prophecy in Ezekiel 38 and 39;

* we should see nations rising in the Far East that will be able to field the 200 million horsemen army from the East foretold in Revelation 9:16;

* we should see a group of nations on its way to becoming a world power in the area of the old Roman Empire;

* we should see technology and communications that will make it possible so that no one can buy or sell without the biometric 666 identification of Rev 13:17;

* we should also see the rise of apostasy and see a world harlot religious system forming like is symbolized in Revelation 17.

What do we see?

Israel became a nation again in 1948 after almost 2000 years of exile. Today Israel is surrounded by Arab enemies and Islam is consolidating against Israel.

Putin in far north Russia just announced a ten-year plan to build a modern military and he also intends to form a new soviet-like union.

China and India will peak in population with those of military age during the next generation and nobody doubts that they will become military and economic superpowers. Book of Revelation makes it very clear that this huge army was prepared for a specific point in time and we can see the makings of that army forming now.  Very soon there will be a hundred million surplus men in the Far East that will have little chance of a normal family life and they will become expendable.

The EU is a rising fascist beast that is increasingly gaining control over once sovereign nations of Europe. It certainly looks like the EU or some spin-off from it will fulfill the revival of the Roman Empire that was foretold in Daniel and Revelation.

Computer devices and projected Internet satellite systems will make the Revelation 666 buy and sell system over all people on earth technically possibly very soon.

We can also see the Harlot of Revelation 17 coming together through “all paths” theology and we can see Vatican efforts to try to put world religion under their authority.

Evidence That the Last Days (as Reported In The Bible) Are Here NOW

Here is an excellent report by "Light For The Last Days".

Here is a clip as an introduction:


"2012 Where is the World heading?

You don‘t need to be a prophet to know that world events are taking a turn for the worse.  Switch on a world news programme or open a newspaper and you are likely to find news of some event which endangers the world.  On the other hand, you do need to understand what the prophets of the Bible say about the last days of this age to know what the outcome of all this will be.  In this article we look at some of the events taking place at the present time and conclude with some pointers to the conclusion which the Bible says will come upon the world."

UFO Sightings, Abductions etc Are They Evidence of Life on Other Planets (Aliens) or Some Other Explanation?

Sometime ago I wrote an article on this whole subject. I then found an article on Tony Pearce's website "Light For The Last Days" which gives a wonderful explanation and backs up my reasoning (in a better way than I could present). Also please check out this report from Answers In Genesis http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/am/v3/n1/believe-in-ufos#  Here is my report:

First My UFO Explanation

God said that the planets were to be signs and seasons to serve the Earth and that the Earth was created to house MAN. So important to the heart of God was MAN that God sent His SON into the world to save us from our sins. In the context of God's dealings with man it makes no sense that God would create life on other planets.

What about sightings?  From stories I've heard, most of those who have had "real" alien experiences specifically abductions have at some time or other been involved with the occult in some shape or another: seances, astrology, yoga, tarot cards etc. This would indicate that demonic activity can be experienced by those who have been affected by demons or even demon possessed. However, there may be some simple "earthly" or other spiritual explanation.

The Old and New Testament teaches that Satan and his demonic cohorts are able to manifest  in many guises and disguises. For example a serpent in the garden of Eden, pretending to be the ghost of a loved one or as an angel of light. he is in the counterfeit business and is quite able to appear in a form which will lead people into deception or fear and turn them away from the true and Living God. Sometimes, he roars like a lion ,ie makes noises, but for the believer has no bite.  Those rapture reports given in the bible: Elijah, Enoch, Jesus have to be explained away by satan, so what does he do?  
He invents the whole idea of UFO's (spaceships, aliens etc) and that people have been beamed up. Then when the Church is raptured this will be the explanation that aliens have  done  it.

The visions described in the bible, for example Ezekiel's vision, were visions. They were not actual sightings. God gives visions to his prophets to show them what will happen in the future and so they are seeing something in the future - not in the present.  As prophets are mere men and cannot grasp the mighty things of God, often they see things in pictures to act as parables.

For example,  the creatures all had 4 faces; all of these resemblng his highest creatures on Earth. The vision was an allegory to teach the people something about God and His creation. We see this in the book of Revelation. Often God actually explains what the vision means. For example we are told the beast with 10 horns = a union of 10 kings.

Now To The Report By Tony Pearce. As far as I am concerned it is very conclusive that UFO's are demons and NOT aliens and NOT the return of Nephilim (part human/part angels). Note: that the Book Of Revelation DOES indicate that demonic activity will be rampant in the very last days. In these last days (just before and after the rapture of the church) satan intends to build an anti-God army of those influenced or possessed by demons, to destroy God's people. However, he will be defeated and the souls of the followers of Jesus will be safe in the arms of Jesus. I will stop here as I do not want to get drawn into the Pre Trib, Post Trib debate.

Why Jesus Is The ONLY Way To Heaven and How To Be Saved

Edited 13 Feb 2012 (see part in bold for the edited bit)


If you are reading this it is probably because you are either intrigued or you are someone who is serious about getting right with God but maybe do not know why Jesus is the only way? Let me give a fairly brief analysis on why Jesus is the only way to be eternally saved and why He is the only way, through whom we can become worthy and certain of Heaven.

Before I do this let me just say that NO religion in the world can come even remotely close to offering what Jesus offers. Only Christianity claims their messiah and Lord to have risen from the dead and because of this only Jesus can offer us the following:

* sins forgiven eternally

* enabling us to become "born-again" becoming a new person with the characteristics of God

* enabling us to be transformed, washed and cleansed from the inside from all guilt, shame and impurity

* being filled with God's Spirit

* a close intimate relationship with God through His Spirit within us

* the resurrection from the dead

* certainty of going to Heaven

* (after physical death or at the rapture - whatever comes first) receiving new glorified bodies which can always experience constant joy, love, peace, purity, perfection and boundless abilities 

* everlasting life in the presence of God eternally

I will now explain why these things are a reality through Jesus!
The reason Jesus came into the world was for a mission to bring us back to God! This was because humanity had become separated from their God. So He came for the sole purpose of reconciling us back to God as a "go between" by taking upon Himself all the punishment that we deserved. So He died in our place to rescue humanity from the destination of an eternity separated from its Creator.

God made humanity perfect at the beginning and designed to live forever in eternal bliss on Earth. However, after the first humans disobeyed God, a separation from God began for ALL of us because we all inherited the same (sinful) nature with a tendency to rebel and do wrong. Man can only live eternally if perfect and in close unity with God.

Because of disobedience (sin) spiritual death occurred and the initial impact of that was the sudden commencement of decay in our bodies leading to physical deterioration, sickness and death. Physical death became a reality (the commencement of cells dying within the body). From that time all mankind inherited a sinful (imperfect, self-centred) nature with the tendency to do wrong things because of the sinful nature deep within our souls. This is why everyone is SELF-centred (to a lesser or greater extent) at their very heart.

Adam and Eve were tempted to become like God, to know good from evil. What actually happened after their disobedience is that they only knew evil and NOT good. They became gods sure enough (gods of their own life - self-important and self-centred, ie self on the throne of their lives) becoming fully corrupt having fallen a long way from where they were.

God cannot look on sin, but He loves us so much that He wants to rescue us from the consequences of sin and spiritual death. The penalty or wages for sin is death - we HAVE to die. But God does not want us to die, so He had to step in and pay the price for us HIMSELF.

Before I continue, let me just digress for a moment to explain something Immensely Important (without which the rest may not make sense).

We do not believe in 3 Gods but ONE God made up of  3 entities (or manifestations) of the ONE God, as revealed throughout the Bible. Jesus said "when you see me you see the Father",  "I am in the Father and the Father is in me" "I and the Father are ONE". The scriptures teach that Jesus was NOT created but has eternally existed and is the visible part of God and that Jesus was the one creating the whole universe "all things were made by Him and nothing that was made was made except through Him". So it is the visible manifestation of God that made Himself vulnerable by coming to Earth being born as a baby, growing as a man and then dying on the cross. The Man Jesus died on the cross, but the divinity did not die. Jesus said "it is finished". He then said "into your hands I commit my Spirit".  It is a 

How To Be Saved After The Rapture. It Is Not Too Late

The purpose of this article is to help those who are left behind after the rapture (ie, after born-again Christians have been instantly snatched up into heaven) to know how they can still be saved and to show them what to do.

The Bible (in particular the Book of Revelation) explains that a time is coming when God will bring an end to the sinful, rebellious, God forsaken activities on planet Earth. Just like in the days of Noah when he first rescued the true people of God first before He unleashed His judgements and also in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah when He first rescued the truly Godly out of the City first before He destroyed that City. Again He will rescue the truly Godly (those who have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ for their salvation from sin) from this Earth before He sends His final judgements on planet Earth.

In a number of places in the Bible it talks about a coming "GREAT TRIBULATION" which will last 7 years. The first half of that period will be a time when satan will possess a human being known as the antichrist. These first 3.5 years he will seem like a messiah figure and will be worshipped by multitudes. However, during the first half of these 7 years he will become a global tyrant enforcing his evil will on every one, forcing them to take a mark known as 666 upon their forehead or hands. In fact no-one will be allowed to buy or sell (includes food and drink) without this mark. During the second half of those 7 years, things on Earth will become so evil that God will step in and judge the Nations with such terrible plagues and disasters beyond what the Earth has ever experienced before. All those who take the mark of the beast will be damned for eternity. To take the mark will mean that individuals WILLINGLY (they will know what they are doing) give their souls to satan. Once they have done this, they will not be able to repent afterwards. They will have sold their souls forever, no longer will they have free will, they will be controlled by the antichrist without any conscience or goodness left in them.

Those who were raptured will have been saved from all this. The 7 years which start after the rapture will culminate in the most terrible times ever experienced by humanity on Earth. It is better that you do not go through this and that you give your hearts to Jesus NOW. Let Jesus take care of your souls by believing in Him and trusting upon Him NOW, so that you will be included in the rapture and not be left behind.

However, if you are reading this AFTER the rapture takes place, then you will have to go through a nightmare experience on Earth. BUT,even if you have been left behind it is not too late for you to be saved from your sins, to prepare your souls for Heaven and to become a child of God with the empowering of the Holy Spirit. You can still put your trust in Jesus, (even after the rapture) but you WILL have to go through the greatest trial that Christians have ever had to go through. God will not leave you powerless though and will enable you to face these terrible times. All you need is to be determined in your faith to NEVER deny Jesus and be prepared to face death for your faith.

There will be many like you who will be killed (probably by beheadings) for their faith during these times. You will have a crown of glory awaiting you in Heaven and will obtain eternal glory in Heaven and enjoy the GLORIOUS and amazing presence of Jesus forever. In the light of eternity, the terrible persecution will be like a pin prick in comparison to the wonder and glory of Heaven.

If you have been left behind, I encourage you to read through the whole Book of Revelation which (in those days) will read like a newspaper. In fact it is the newspaper headline stories told in advance. By reading the Book Of Revelation you will find great encouragement to know that God IS IN CONTROL. Whatever happens hold true to Jesus and NEVER consider taking that 666 mark which will be an allegiance with satan.

As I write this, in September 2011, we are already seeing vast numbers of Bible prophecies being fulfilled before our very eyes. These prove that we are in the very last of the last days before the rapture, the Great Tribulation and the Judgements take place.  In fact these fulfillments are for our purpose to prove that the Bible IS the WORD OF GOD to us all.  We are living in days when the godless are trying to do everything they can to disprove the existence of God. We are now living in days, like in Noah's time, when God WILL intervene and reveal His power upon Earth. You will not want to be around when He does that. It is better that you repent now.

As Peter said "it is not God's Will that any should perish but that all should come to repentance".  Paul and Peter both implied that God's "absence" or "hiddenness" is an expression of His mercy, patience and graciousness holding back His wrath because He does not want us to perish. However, a time HAS been reserved, by God, in which "enough is enough" and HE WILL ACT!  Therefore, repent and believe NOW before that time comes or repent as soon as possible after the rapture. However, always be aware that no-one knows the time of their death. It could be virtually simultaneous at the time of the rapture. You MAY NOT have a second chance. To illustrate this further, here is a link to an excellent presentation of all this:

How The Bible Was Put Together and Proving Why It IS The Inspired Inerrant Word Of God

The purpose of  this report is to explain how the Bible was put together and therefore also demonstrate:

* why/how the Bible is the inspired inerrant Word of God

* why the Bible can be fully trusted to build our lives and faith upon

* why no other religious book is worthy to be compared to the Bible 

I have collected together (from various sources) logical arguments to prove these things.

My First Source collected from http://www.gotquestions.org/

Question 1: "Is the Bible truly God's Word?"

Answer: Our answer to this question will not only determine how we view the Bible and its importance to our lives, but also it will ultimately have an eternal impact on us. If the Bible is truly God’s Word, then we should cherish it, study it, obey it, and fully trust it. If the Bible is the Word of God, then to dismiss it is to dismiss God Himself.

The fact that God gave us the Bible is an evidence and illustration of His love for us. The term “revelation” simply means that God communicated to mankind what He is like and how we can have a right relationship with Him. These are things that we could not have known had God not divinely revealed them to us in the Bible. Although God’s revelation of Himself in the Bible was given progressively over approximately 1500 years, it has always contained everything man needs to know about God in order to have a right relationship with Him. If the Bible is truly the Word of God, then it is the final authority for all matters of faith, religious practice, and morals.

The question we must ask ourselves is how can we know that the Bible is the Word of God and not just a good book? 

BBC Hardtalk Video. Strong Creationist Argument Against Evolution By John Mackay

John Mackay (a creationist) was interviewed on the BBC News TV programme called HardTalk.  This is a very watchable and enjoyable rebuttal against the biassed unscientific teachings of evolutionists.  Evolutionists are unscientific because of  their straitjacketed refusal to consider or properly examine the overwhelming evidence of creation and a young Earth.  From my perspective, it appears that John Mackay gives a convincing rebuttal.

Black Parents White Baby. Black/White Twins. Two Stories Which Give Further Evidences Bible Can Be Trusted

1. BBC News: “Baby Tale Not Black and White”

Out of Britain comes more news that upsets the idea of “race.”

Last January "Answers In Genesis" covered news of British babies Leah and Miya Durrant: biological twins despite the fact that one had light brown skin, blue eyes, and red hair (like her mother) while the other had dark brown hair and skin (like her father). Along with two older siblings that also looked to be from different “races,” the family was a stark visual rebuttal to the idea that “race” is a meaningful term.

Although the story isn’t quite the same, another British couple has once again overturned casual assumptions about skin, hair, and eye color inheritance and shown race to be a specious concept. The Sun reports on Angela Ihegboro and her husband Ben, who, along with their son Chisom and daughter Dumebi, all have dark brown skin, hair, and eyes—reflecting their Nigerian heritage. But newly born daughter Nmachi has pale, sand-colored skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes—“white,” but not albino (as was confirmed by doctors). 

How Did Animals Spread All Over the World from Where the Ark Landed?

An issue often used in an attempt to beat biblical creationists over the head is the worldwide distribution of animals. Such a distribution, say critics, proves that there could never have been a global Flood or an Ark.

If the Ark landed somewhere in the Middle East, then all the animals would have disembarked at that point, including animals that we do not find in the Middle East today, or in the fossil record in that area. How did kangaroos get to Australia, or kiwis to New Zealand? How did polar bears get to North America and penguins to Antarctica? Please read on for the answers 

Strong Evidence For a Global Noahic Flood As Shown By Rapidly Formed Rock Layers Spread Across Vast Areas

Rapidly Deposited Sediment Layers Spread Across Vast Areas

On every continent are found layers of sedimentary rocks over vast areas. Many of these sediment layers can be traced all the way across continents, and even between continents. Furthermore, when geologists look closely at these rocks, they find evidence that the sediments were deposited rapidly.

Consider the sedimentary rock layers exposed in the walls of the Grand Canyon in northern Arizona (Figure 2). This sequence of layers is not unique to that region of the USA. For more than 50 years geologists have recognized that these strata belong to six megasequences (very thick, distinctive sequences of sedimentary rock layers) that can be traced right across North America.¹

The lowermost sedimentary layers in Grand Canyon are the Tapeats Sandstone, belonging to the Sauk Megasequence. It and its equivalents (those layers comprised of the same materials) cover much of the USA (Figure 3).

We can hardly imagine what forces were necessary to deposit such a vast, continent- wide series of deposits. Yet at the base of this sequence are huge boulders (Figure 4) and sand beds deposited by storms (Figure 5). Both are evidence that massive forces deposited these sediment layers rapidly and violently right across the entire USA. Slow-and-gradual (present-day uniformitarian) processes cannot account for this evidence, but the global catastrophic Genesis Flood surely can. 

Evidence For The Creation Model and For Speedy Evolution Process

Is there evidence for the creation model?

When God first created animals, he created them according to their kinds, with the ability to reproduce, and with instructions to increase in number and fill the earth (and seas; Genesis 1:20–22, 24–28). After the Flood, land animals and birds that had been preserved on the Ark again reproduced to fill the earth (Genesis 8:15–19).

Historically, evolutionists have told us that changes in living things occur at a slow, deliberate pace. Yet the creation model clearly requires that significant changes be able to occur quite rapidly, if necessary, as animals multiply and fill the earth. Today we see animals that have adapted to a variety of different environments and niches. Is there any scientific evidence that animals can adapt so quickly? Indeed there is!

Exposing The Flaws Of Traditional (But Faulty) Evolutionary Teaching But Giving Strong Evidence For A Creator and Creational Evolution PART 2

Let me start by quoting something given by: Professor Jerome Lejeune, in a lecture given in Paris

on March 17, 1985, translated by Peter Wilders

“We have no acceptable theory of evolution at the present time. There is none; and I cannot accept the theory that I teach to my students each year. Let me explain. I teach the synthetic theory known as the neo-Darwinian one, for one reason only; not because it’s good, we know it is bad, but because there isn’t any other. Whilst waiting to find something better you are taught something which is known to be inexact, which is a first approximation …”

What Is Being Taught., You Will Learn

Textbooks present evolution in two different ways—small, observable changes (natural selection, speciation, adaptation) and large, unobservable changes (molecules-to-man evolution). They show evidence for the former and then conclude that this proves that the latter took place as well.

As our understanding of genetics has improved, it has become increasingly clear that mutations + time + chance do not equal evolution. All observed mutations demonstrate a loss of genetic information from the genetic code, or they are neutral.

Evolution claims that the process has no direction or goal. If you look at the complexity of the “first” organism, it must be accepted that a massive amount of information has been produced to explain the variety of life we see today.

Mutations cannot generate new genetic information; so they cannot be used to explain how evolution has proceeded from a cell with less information than is present in 

Evidence That Global Conditions (After Noah's Flood) Led To Ice Age

What Was the Post-Flood World Like?

The Flood of Noah’s day was the greatest catastrophe in earth history, and it involved much more than rain. It reshaped the surface of the earth, spawning massive volcanoes and earthquakes that dwarf anything observed in modern times. Such a tremendous catastrophe would have radically altered the earth’s climate, resulting in an Ice Age.

In general terms, an “ice age” is a time of extensive glacial activity that covers a relatively large area with ice. During the Ice Age, which ended a few thousand years ago, 30% of the land surface of the earth was covered by ice. In North America an ice sheet covered almost all of Canada and the northern United States.Today, only 10% of the earth’s surface is covered by ice.

We know the extent of the Ice Age because the glaciers left features on the landscape similar to features we observe around glaciers today, such as lateral and terminal moraines. A “lateral moraine” is a mound of rocks of varying sizes deposited to the side of a moving glacier, and a “terminal” or “end” moraine is a mound of rocks dumped in front of the glacier.

Two particular aspects of the Flood were instrumental in causing the Ice Age: (1) extensive volcanic activity during and after the Flood, and (2) the warm oceans following the Flood. To learn more about

Evidence That Neandertal Men and Cavemen Lived In Bible Times and were human

I have included 3 articles here. 2 about Neandertal Man and one about cavemen. These articles give evidence and support that these men actually lived within Bible times during the ice-age, which followed shortly after  the global Noah’s flood. The Ice-age was probably caused by the flood and not as evolutionists tell us who base their calculations on theories and assumptions based on "seen" evidence and not scientifically proven through observing change.

The ice-age would have occurred quite soon after the global Noah’s flood) when the dispersion took place of mankind throughout the Earth,after God divided the tongues at Babel.

The articles are: “The Caring Neandertal”, “Neandertal Man, the changing picture” and "were cavemen really Primitive?". These were all found on Answers in Genesis website.

Did People Like Adam and Noah Really Live over 900 Years of Age?

Preview chapter from The New Answers Book
by Dr. David Menton and Dr. Georgia Purdom
June 4, 2008

“Methusaleh lived 900 years . . . but these stories you’re liable to read in the Bible, they ain’t necessarily so.”¹

Along with American composer George Gershwin, many people find it difficult to believe that Methuselah lived to be 969 years old.   

Nevertheless, the Bible teaches quite plainly that the early patriarchs often lived to be nearly 1,000 years old and even had children when they were several hundred years old! Similar claims of long life spans are found in the secular literature of several ancient cultures (including the Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Indians, and Chinese). But even a life span of nearly 1,000 years is sadly abbreviated when we consider that God initially created us to live forever.

Why Dinosaurs Do Not Disprove, But Actually Prove the Bible

Taken from

http://www.answersingenesis.org/get-answers

Dinosaurs are used more than almost anything else to indoctrinate children and adults in the idea of millions of years of earth history. However, theBible gives us a framework for explaining dinosaurs in terms of thousands of years of history, including the mystery of when they lived and what happened to them. Two key texts are Genesis 1:24–25 and Job 40:15–24.
Are Dinosaurs a Mystery?Many think that the existence of dinosaurs and their demise is shrouded in such mystery that we may never know the truth about where they came from, when they lived, and what happened to them. However, dinosaurs are only a mystery if you accept the evolutionary story of their history.


According to evolutionists: Dinosaurs first evolved around 235 million years ago, long before man evolved.¹ No human being ever lived with dinosaurs. Their history is recorded in the fossil layers on earth, which were deposited over millions of years. They were so successful as a group of animals that they eventually ruled the earth. However, around 65 million years ago, something happened to change all of this—the dinosaurs disappeared. Most evolutionists believe some sort of cataclysmic event, such as an asteroid impact, killed them. But many evolutionists claim that some dinosaurs evolved into birds, and thus they are not extinct but are flying around us even today.²


There is no mystery surrounding dinosaurs if you accept the Bible’s totally different account of dinosaur history.


According to the Bible: Dinosaurs first existed
around 6,000 years ago.³ God made the dinosaurs, along with the other land animals, on Day 6 of the Creation Week (Genesis 1:20–25, 31). Adam and Eve were also made on Day 6—so dinosaurs lived at the same time as people, not separated by eons of time.

Dinosaurs could not have died out before people appeared because

How Carbon Dating Actually Prove Creation, A Young Earth and a Global Noah's Flood

Scientists use a technique called radiometric dating to estimate the ages of rocks, fossils, and the earth. Many people have been led to believe that radiometric dating methods have proved the earth to be billions of years old. This has caused many in the church to reevaluate the biblical creation account, specifically the meaning of the word “day” in Genesis 1.

With our focus on one particular form of radiometric dating—carbon dating—we will see that carbon dating strongly supports a young earth and reinforces the bible as accurate and true. Note that, contrary to a popular misconception, carbon dating is not used to date rocks at millions of years old.  


Basics

Before we get into the details of how radiometric dating methods are used, we need to review some

Evidence To Disprove the Evolution of Dinosaurs into Birds

Birds did not evolve from dinosaurs: what creationists have been pointing out for years is now buttressed by new research.

The notion that theropod dinosaurs evolved into birds has almost certainly become one of the most widely accepted “facts” of evolution. The question for many evolutionary researchers had transitioned from “if” to “how.”¹ Even artists’ depictions of some dinosaurs (such as velociraptors) began to include feathers.² Except for a few notable critics, such as University of North Carolina paleobiologist Alan Feduccia, evolutionists seem to have all but agreed on birds’ dinosaurian origins.

Now, a new paper in the Journal of Morphology presents the research of two Oregon State University scientists who don’t agree with the evolutionary dogma on bird origins.³ Doctoral student Devon Quick conducted the investigation into bird breathing and its connection with dinosaur-to-bird evolution as part her dissertation.
