Can I first of all ask him whether he agrees with me that it is entirely unfair that we should treat our veterans who were injured before 2005 in a different manner than those who were injured after 2005. Can I also ask him, what work the government is doing to explore how much it will cost to rectify this anomaly? I thank you, Emma Cotosh, for bringing this issue to the chamber. We all owe our veterans a additive gratitude, particularly those who have been injured in the line of duty. Taking the second part of his question, first, the Government is undertaking work to assess the financial impact on local authorities on a number of proposals around care charges, including this particular issue.フarongi a'u ddillusion ar ardillwyr yn dddillusion gyda'r ddillusion ac ar gael i'ch gael ei ddaeth o ddillusion, ac mae eich gael ei groes iawn i gynghoriwyr gymhysgol yr yna yn cyffredin o'r rhyddyg mento o gael ei ddaeth.

Mae ydych yn Barkam ni'i ddillusio edy-dillusio a'i schryfl yn gael eu ddoedd of the unfairness and the financial treatment of those wounded in the service of their country before 2005 and after 2005, which is clearly in breach of the armed forces government. What discussions has he had with the British Government, with COSLA, with the armed forces organisations such as the British Legion, and is he minded to, and if he is minded to address this situation, when will he be able to do so? I thank Mr Scott for the question. I'm going back to my initial answer to Mr Magnus. We are actively exploring this issue with COSLA. Would he be happy to speak to a range of stakeholders? I do recognise the concerns that have been raised by the British Legion and Poppy Scotland. I do go back to the point that I made earlier that this change was not as a consequence of a decision made by this Government. It was the UK Government that changed the terms of support for those who have been injured in the line of battle. To ask the Scottish Government what information it has on the average length of time taken to process applications for protecting vulnerable groups scheme membership for people seeking employment in the care sector. Minister, Fiona McLeod. Mr McDonald asked specifically about the care sector. Information about the sectors from which PVG applications are submitted is not gathered by Disclosure Scotland. PVG applications are processed as they arrive, and no application is given priority over any other. Disclosure Scotland's service level agreement is to produce 90 per cent of all types of disclosures for a correctly completed application with no further inquiries within 14 calendar days. That is measured from the day that the application is received to the day of dispatch. For the week ending 15 February 2015, Disclosure Scotland processed 99.9 per cent of applications within 14 calendar days. I am grateful to the minister for that answer. Some organisations in the care sector in Aberdeen, where I represent, have indicated that the length of time being taken to process PVGs can lead to individuals seeking alternative employment, perhaps in an area where a PVG is not required. Will the minister examine whether there are issues that are affecting the care sector specifically and whether some form of fast-tracking may be appropriate, particularly in areas such as Aberdeen, in which there are difficulties in recruitment and retention to the care sector? As I said in my earlier answer, in some instances it is necessary for Disclosure Scotland to contact other agencies to determine if there will be any inclusions on the individual's PVG scheme record from those sources. When that happens, the period of time to process a PVG disclosure can be longer. Disclosure Scotland closely monitors the performance of external information suppliers and works to ensure that such requests are fulfilled as quickly as possible in the interests of both the applicant and the prospective employer. If Mr MacDonald wants to get in touch with the numbers from particular organisations in his area, I will inquire further. To ask the Scottish Government when it last met the NHS Lanarkshire and what matters were discussed. Thank you, minister. Ministers and Government officials regularly meet with representatives from all health boards, including NHS Lanarkshire, to discuss matters of importance to local people. Bob Doris? Thank you, minister, for that answer. I am concerned about the proposals and the quality of current consultation that has been conducted by NHS Lanarkshire in relation to GP out-of-hours services that will see the end of the use of Victoria and Firmary in Glasgow. Can the minister confirm that new health board boundaries need not be a barrier to the continued use of the Victoria and Firmary, although I personally would urge NHS Lanarkshire to reconsider its current proposals? Does the minister agree with me that any final decision by NHS Lanarkshire should be delayed until the Scottish Government completes its national review of out-of-hours services? I thank Bob Doris for his question. I appreciate that there is concern locally around the boards review of out-of-hours services. All health boards keep their services under review to ensure that they are of the highest quality. I am aware that NHS Lanarkshire is carrying out a review of out-of-hours services that started on 6 January and is due to conclude on 6 April. I have been assured that all stakeholders will continue to be fully engaged and involved as this important work has taken forward. The Scottish Government is lazing with NHS Lanarkshire and is being kept up-to-date with the progress of their review, and I would expect that the outcomes of their review to be in line with any recommendations arising from the Scottish Government's recent national out-of-hours service review. To ask the Scottish Government how it assists farmers who wish to remove silt from riverbeds. The Scottish Government and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency and Association with the National Farmers Union of Scotland have been proactive in developing guidance to inform farmers what actions can be taken on removal of silt from riverbeds, and that guidance is available. I thank the cabinet secretary for his response. I have been contacted by a number of east pasture farmers. I noticed a view reflected in other parts of the region that I represent who have been affected by flooding, who are concerned that watercourses are silted up and they have great difficulty when it comes to removing the silt and other debris, and they feel that the approach from SIPA is still overly bureaucratic. I wonder what more the Scottish Government can do with SIPA to try and simplify this process. I would urge the farmers in Pershire to meet the local SIPA officials and discuss their concerns, because the guidance, which was issued early last year, was intended to address his very concerns and explain that action can be taken without applying for a licence, albeit that there are some rules that have to be adhered to, but that is clearly later in the guidance that was made available to all farmers and NFU members. If there are on-going issues, I am happy to listen to what they may be, and I would ask, as I said before, for the farmers to meet the local SIPA officials to take them forward. I can assure Murdo Fraser that I am very familiar with his issues, representing my constituency, which has had a number of flooding issues over the years, and the farmers, likewise, have welcomed that guidance that was issued. To ask the Scottish Government what its position is on the implementation of minimum staffing levels for all professions in hospitals, as recommended by the former chief nursing officer, Ann Derby, and Professor Derek Mellon. We are absolutely clear that quality of care for Scotland's people comes first, demonstrating our full commitment to achieving the best possible healthcare outcomes. Scotland's people benefit from an NHS workforce of the highest quality and the highest staffing levels across our NHS than ever before. To ensure enough professional staff at the right levels are available when and where they need to be, NHS boards in Scotland are required to have workforce planning arrangements in place. In doing so, they are required to use evidence-based workload and workforce planning tools, rather than fixed staffing ratios to assess numbers of nurses and where they should be deployed most effectively. I thank the minister for that answer, but will she consider seriously all the recommendations? I think that what was a very important editorial in the Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh and one of the central recommendations of that editorial was, of course, that there should be minimum staffing levels for all professions within hospital settings based upon best evidence. That should be staffing levels that cover all hours of the day and night. I think that there is a consensus among many health experts that that is the way forward, so will the Government give serious consideration to it? Of course, the Scottish Executive Nurses Director endorsed the views that are taken in Scotland as other healthcare professionals, including Sir Robert Francis, Sir Bruce Keog and Professor Berwick, who all believe that evidence-based tools are the best way. In Scotland, we do not talk about minimum staffing levels. We speak about safe staffing levels. We do not speak of nurse-to-bed ratios. Nurses do not nurse beds, they nurse patients. Numbers of staff are determined according to the clinical needs of patients, not according to ratio level or numbers. As I said, in Scotland, we used evidence-based tools to determine that, not a one-size-fits-all-fixed staffing ratio. Given the commitment to preventative measures, I wonder if the minister could say that, in the long term, the hope would be to move resources out less in hospital and more in the community. Of course, that is the policy of the Scottish Government, and with the implementation of the integrated health and social care, that is entirely the way in which we would want to move. With a near doubling of numbers of children being admitted to hospitals for self-harm in some parts of Scotland, compounded by the often-missed 18-week children and adolescent mental health treatment target, can the minister advise what action she is taking to effectively and efficiently administer NHS staffing resources for CAMH services? As the member knows, that is the responsibility of my colleague Jamie Hepburn, who has recently announced £15 million of extra resources for mental health issues. To ask the Scottish Government what its position is on the privacy concerns raised by the open rights group regarding the proposed amendments to the national health service central register Scotland regulations 2006. The Scottish Government has an unequivocal commitment to protecting and respecting the privacy of individuals. The Government is opposed to ID cards and does not propose to introduce any new national database. The measures on which we are consulting, which would result in limited additional verification and sharing of data from the NHS central register, will improve the accuracy of key statistics on Scotland's population and on migration, ensure that public sector organisations can verify who they are dealing with and to deliver the right services to the right people, support the tracing of missing persons, ensure that individuals who wish to can securely access online public services through the initiative of my account and accurately identify Scottish taxpayers, which is relevant to protecting Scottish tax revenues and so protecting the delivery of public services. We will consider the responses to the consultation to ensure that the measures that are implemented and which will be scrutinised by Parliament adhere to our commitment to protect the personal data and the privacy of individuals. Thank you. I welcome the tone of the Deputy First Minister's opening comments there. The SNP in opposition did quite rightly join with others in campaigning against the ID cards legislation, which would have seen every citizen given a unique reference number linked to a central database, linked to a card scheme, controlling access to public services and sharing data across Government. Why, then, are we now seeing a proposal for a system that will give every citizen a unique reference number, linked to a central database, linked to a card scheme, sharing information across Government and controlling access to public services? Why is this a subject of a low-profile consultation rather than a national debate? The proposal is the subject to a consultation, which will conclude in about a week's time, and the Government will consider the outcome of that consultation exercise. In relation to some, I am glad that Mr Harvie welcomed the tone of my remarks, because the tone of my remarks are designed to provide the reassurance to Parliament that the Government's position is absolutely crystal clear that we are opposed to ID cards and we do not propose to introduce any new national database. The national health service central register has existed in Scotland since the 1950s. Every citizen has an individual national health service number, a kind number, which internationally is viewed as one of the strengths and foundations of the management of clinical care within the national health service. What the Government is doing here is taking forward the consultation on a number of limited additional verification conditions. I can assure Patrick Harvie and Parliament, and any concerned members of the public, that the Government will be testing any reactions against its fundamental opposition to ID cards and its determination not to create any new national database. Neil Findlay. However, many people have real concerns about the civil liberties implications of these proposals to change the register. However, most people, including I suspect many in this chamber, including myself, do not know enough about it. Will the minister bring forward a debate in Government time so that we can discuss the proposals in full? Mr Findlay will forgive me if I do not prescribe reading material to him on a weekly basis, but the Scottish Government consultation has been available for members of the public and members of Parliament to contribute to. It closes on 25 February, so if Mr Findlay wishes to make a submission to that consultation, we will happily consider the issues. As for a debate, let us get the order of these things correct. We are having a consultation where we are inviting people's opinions. Any regulations that come forward will have to be scrutinised by Parliament, and Parliament will have its opportunity to consider all of those questions. If members have any concerns about those issues, I encourage members to engage with the issues that have been raised in the consultation, which are fundamentally about ensuring that we are able to support the direction of public services to those who require those public services and to ensure that an existing national health register, which has existed since the 1950s and which is the strength of our ability to deliver the administration of clinical care to individuals in the country, is enhanced in any way that we can. Those tests about protecting the privacy of individuals and respecting the privacy of individuals are at the heart of any decisions that the Government will take on that matter. The Scottish Government, when the Cabinet Secretary for Justice was first aware that Police Scotland intended to consult on a possible merger of A and B divisions. I was briefed on those proposals in early December. I will expect Police Scotland to fully take account of the views that were expressed during the consultation and reflect on the proposals in light of those views. The Secretary will be aware that A division of Police Scotland is responsible for policing not only Scotland's third city but also the entire offshore oil industry across the North Sea. Will he, as a responsible minister, reject any change proposed by Police Scotland that could leave Aberdeen as the only major city in Western Europe without a dedicated police division or without any responsible senior police officer of the rank of chief superintendent or above? As the member is aware, there has been an extensive consultation undertaken by Police Scotland on this issue. There has also been an element of consultation taken forward by the Scottish Police Authority, who is responsible for scrutinising the actions of Police Scotland on this issue. I have discussed this issue with the chief constable this week, who has assured me that he will consider the views that are being submitted to Police Scotland as part of that consultation process. Likewise, I would also expect the Scottish Police Authority to fully scrutinise the proposals that are being taken forward by Police Scotland and to consider how they then respond to the consultation results themselves. Thank you, Presiding Officer, to ask the Scottish Government where ministers last met representatives of NHS borders and what issues were discussed. The Scottish ministers meet regularly with representatives of the board to discuss matters of interest to the people of the borders. I thank the minister for that response. I very much welcome the Scottish Government's recent decision to increase NHS spending by £282 million. That was only made possible, of course, by spending decisions made by the Conservative-led UK Government, which resulted in the SNP having £300 million extra to spend in 2015-16. Whilst the average increase across Scotland is 3.4%, NHS borders are only getting 2.4%. Can the minister explain why NHS borders has been shortchanged by £1.7 million? Minister Lamont needs to get his figures correct. Of course, the increase that the Deputy First Minister has announced for the NHS was £383 million, not the figure that he quoted. I am very delighted to report that, in terms of its funding, NHS borders has already had parity by 2.7% of £4.8 million. This Government is delivering a fair funding deal for NHS borders. Christine Grahame I recently met NHS borders, and they are very satisfied with what is going on. Can I ask the minister if he will visit Hay Lodge community hospital in my constituency just to see the good work that it is doing, despite the scaremongering by my colleague over there who is seeking to leave here and go to Westminster? I will try any trick in the boot. I will leave the local fraca to Ms Grahame and Mr Lamont, but if she wants to invite me to visit her constituency, I will be delighted to consider it.

He's a big man.  Actually. He's number 97 Grady Jarrett. Let's check him out His nickname is you shall not pass. Why you ask?  You Shall not pass Well, that's a head high in the game of rugby no such rules in the game of American football apart from targeting and Pulling on the face mask, but as far as everything else. Well anything goes man He's up there at the top with Aaron dawn him and Aaron Donald. He could put right there together Both super disrupting both live in the backfield Grady has a great getoff Not the right choice Grady Jarrett was right there He likes Russell Wilson doesn't a tenacity to the ball his relentless pass rush Here's brady play fake gonna throw it inside. There's exactly what you need He's a smaller guy, but my boy got some explosive news a smaller guy for a defensive end We're just how small Actually, I'm not gonna lie. He is undersized as far as height is concerned certainly not weight He's listed as six foot even 300 pounds Well 305 got picked up in the fifth round of the 2015 draft from Clemson Straight to Atlanta straight to the Falcons and he's been there ever since he has really come into his own in the last couple Of years making the last two Pro Bowls, you know what? I'm gonna call him. I'm gonna call him six foot one He's listed as 185 and that was measured at the NFL combine I'm one out of five and I'd say six foot one So there you go six one three hundred and four pounds five zero six for the 40-yard dash 31 inches in vertical nine foot five on the broad jump thirty three goddamn reps in the bench press and A hand size of ten inches. So what he lacks in height for his position He certainly makes up for in both weight strength speed and hand size played 93 total games the NFL 300 combined tackles 160 solo and 140 assisted now That is an interesting ratio of nothing else. It's quite quite close as far as solo versus assisted I haven't really seen it that close before anyway 25.5 sacks 51 tackles for loss five forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries Jarrett's home in Conyers, Georgia Partially burned down during the second day of the 2015 NFL draft and seeing as he was picked round number five The second day will be rounds two and three. So during the draft prior to him actually getting picked up by a team His house burnt down. There were nearly 50 people including friends and family members at the home at the time of the fire No injuries were reported, but the cause of the fire was believed to be electrical the Atlanta Falcons Drafted Jarrett the next day and immediately sent him Atlanta Falcons gear and that my friends just adds to the story How he doesn't determine success in the trenches Blowing up plays and the backfield does actually when you think about it Grady has been Compared to Aaron Donald and Aaron Donald is around about 286 one in the defensive end position. So similar Well, I say similar but no one's comparing to Aaron Donald, let's be honest In the run defense and also as a pass rusher, it was just amazing for a guy to be 300 pounds moving like that They're trying to set up a three-count screen to his side Grady spelled it out all the way boy He was right there Johnny at the spot.  You gotta be on your a game Have a look at that the low center of gravity is the only reason he's made it through these two offensive linemen And not only that but he stays he stays with them reach the running back in gets an assisted tackle His number of sacks dropped in 2020, but its defensive contribution is at an all-time high Yeah, that's not nice that is not nice having Grady Jarrett trying to sack your ass That's pretty Jarrett again applying the initial pressure Everybody feeds off His game is going to continue to keep evolving forced it Well actually they're both monsters, so his brother and I we were roommates in college And I tell you what I'm looking forward to this one Justin Jefferson another rookie 1,400 receiving yards for the year what an absolute legend, but this video is about Grady Jarrett And did just here at the end of that video that he's he's getting better and better, right? And that's exactly what's happened seeing as he's you know finally made made the Pro Bowl Two years in a row. We saw a fair few tackles 300 in fact back to got 52 last year bringing his total to 300 which we confirmed before yes his sack numbers are down but not too far and with all that being said that brings us to the end of Another video so thank you for watching I hope you enjoyed if you did hit that like button if you want to let us know what your thoughts are on Grady Jarrett How you think he's going to perform during this season definitely let us know in the comment section below and Hey by all means head down to the description box and check out our exclusive video sponsor for today All of that supports the channel all of that supports future content creation Because look at the end of the day you don't get much in return for this This is for fun and to entertain you guys That's why we do it.

So I just got the second edition of Madmonk one the best supplements for gamers. The question is is this one worth taking? Well, let's find out Hey, what's up, Greg here the founder from reception welcome to my channel If you want to improve your performance then subscribe below to start a journey today We got to talk about Madmonk now as you probably know I reviewed the first edition of Madmonk a couple of months ago and just recently I got his bottle with new the second edition of Madmonk and I was super happy to try it out now In this video we're gonna talk about my experience with the second edition We're gonna look at the benefits the side effects to recommend daily dosage and at the end of the video I'm gonna tell you if I recommend it or not. So if you're ready, let's just begin Oh, by the way guys first question for you since you're probably gamers So most of you at least watching this video the question is what do you currently do? What what kind of supplements they take or other stuff to boost their focus and energy during gaming? Well, let me know in the comment section below. So first thing first Madmonk is in a tropic supplement That was designed for gamers as we try this product. You should have more focus. It should be more energized You should have more brain power. You should feel better and you know have the you know, basically the drive You know to really perform the best While playing your games besides that this is one the best design products on the market, you know Hands-down also compared to many other tropic supplements This one doesn't come in capsules, but as you also can see actually it comes in pills like this one. I Hope you can see it and They taste pretty good, you know So that's one of the benefit of this one But yeah, let me quickly share my experience with Madmonk with the second edition So I've been trying Madmonk for a couple of days as I usually do And you know compared to the first edition Honestly, I didn't see a big difference because the first edition in terms of my performance was already very very good So, you know when I took one capsule of Madmonk in about 15 to probably 20 minutes I felt very focused. I felt very energized.  I play Call of Duty. I play battlefield And I also use it a couple of times. I use it during the Skype call I use it during you know when I was working on my daily tasks So yeah, I tried to use Madmonk in different occasions and in most cases so actually every time I tried it I felt very very focused very Energized as I said, I was in a good mood So, you know, I was very satisfied with the performance of Madmonk now compared to the first edition When I took two capsules of the second edition, I felt pretty good So I didn't feel the anxiety Or kind of a jitters that I felt when I tried the first one and that was a you know a surprise for me However, keep in mind that I didn't take two capsules at the same time But I took them one in the morning and one in the afternoon Because if you take both them at the same time as you will soon see this is probably not the best idea So overall the second version is definitely improved It has better ingredients in it's bear dosed and from the experience. Yeah, it's pretty good like the first one But I think it's even more fine tuned. So I like it even more now if you could look at the ingredients Just give me a second. This is the box actually in which the this ball comes very beautiful design so what you're gonna find in This with Madmonk so in this supplement is actually a lot of interesting and very effective in tropics You're gonna find Susandra you're gonna find ginseng which plays a very important role in this product. You're gonna find Bacobamonieri very Good by adaptionic herb, which I definitely recommend. There's rhodiolane There are the basic vitamins and the zinc which is great for Antioxidant effects and in boosting your immune system. And then of course, there's a caffeine and LTN which provide a short-term effect You have choline for a memory improvement and acetyl alkanitin Which again, it's an amino acid very important and very good for general cognitive and also physical performance So as you can see this Product contains a whole variety a whole range of vitamins minerals You have amino acids in in classical and tropics and epigenic herbs and a lot of different stuff that are very well researched on very well tolerated and if you look at you know, that's what I did I checked every individual compound. I checked the dosages, you know And and I can definitely see the improvement that was made from the first addition to this addition And that's you know a very good thing now. Is there anything I don't like about this formula? Well, you know one thing is it still contains a very high amount of caffeine now for you guys For gamers at least everyone who's watching this or at least for those of you that actually are gamers I think that you know With with consuming so much caffeine you have to be careful It's not gonna do any harm because it's smartly combined with our compounds But do not drink coffee with this product, you know, that's important So if you drink a huge cup of coffee and you take one pill Yeah, that's still gonna work.  So be careful about that. Um, apart from that on the formula It's pretty pretty, you know, pretty well made especially for gamers One thing that I would probably improve is the cooling compound This one that's in bitter straight. It's not the most absorbable So I would love to see out the GPC or cognizant in and apart from that I think it's a very well or smartly designed formula for gamers There is no doubt about also for other people not just for gamers if you need like shorter performance I think you can you know expect quite a lot of benefits from madmongue By the way guys have a real turning hex to help you immediately boost our energy your focus help you improve Motivation so to get my free handbook just click below and you can download it for free Now when it comes to the side effects if you follow the recommended dosage Which is one to two pills per day You shouldn't experience any side effects if you do it's probably because of caffeine and I would say the combination of caffeine and ginseng combined So yeah Try or you know, that was that's what I would recommend to you take one pill first See how you know you perform on it and then increase the two pills if you think you need it Now one pill should give you energy for about two to four hours. Some people say more Some people won't even feel that so it's really depends But I felt energized and focused for about two to three hours something like that Now then you can take the second pill which by the way tastes quite good I think that tastes better than the first one. Actually it has the blueberry taste also the smell. I mean, um Yeah, it's actually pretty cool. I mean, I definitely like that So after you take the first one try it out then I suggest you See what happens for a couple of days and then you add the second ingredient to it Now if you're gonna play games very late and like keep in mind that, you know caffeine half life is about a thing 8 to 12 hours something like that So this means that you know, it takes quite a lot of time for half of caffeine to go out of your bloodstream So in this case, you know, be careful not to overdose on caffeine because you know, you won't be able to fall asleep That's my honest recommendation. By the way, guys, if you like this video, please press the like button below So what's my final conclusion? Do I recommend Mad Monk or not? Well If you remember my first review, I actually wasn't so sure about it. I saw it as a very interesting Concept I like the idea like the branding but in terms of product. I wasn't so convinced about it However, the second edition is much better and I definitely recommend it I would mainly recommend it to gamers. That's you know, who it was made for but I can't imagine other people will also benefit from it Especially those who need short-term results. The brand design is beautiful The formula is very good much better than the first one. The capsules taste, you know, delicious I definitely recommend them So yeah, overall, I'm really happy with Mad Monk And I would you know, there's no doubt I would recommend you that and actually at this very moment when I'm reviewing this product I think Mad Monk is the best Gaming supplement on the market. Now keep in mind. I'm not sponsored by Mad Monk in any way This is my honest review, but yeah, I think you're gonna have a hard time finding a better Supplement for gamers right now.

Don't only my free handbook and I hope to see you soon guys Oh and one last thing if you want to learn more about Mad Monk or order it, just find the links below Take care guys


What about intelligent design creationism? How can they be affected by confirmation bias? The strategies are a little different here, because the bias is an intentional act to conceal the shortcomings of an argument based on an ideological position, not scientific evidence. There are a couple of ways they use a selective reading of data to support their positions. One simple way is by quote mining from papers or authority figures. They take only the part of a large block of text that says something they agree with, without acknowledging that the whole statement runs counter to their argument. They're giving a distorted view of what is being said. The off-sided quote from the late-grade Stephen J. Gould about the trade secret of paleontology being the scarcity of transitional fossils seems to suggest that the number of transitional fossils is a weak point of evolution, when in fact Gould was referring to his own theory of punctuated equilibrium, in which isolated populations change morphologies relatively rapidly. Another way they use confirmation bias is what I call nitpicking arguments. In their logical arguments for intelligent design creationism, they have focused on exceptions to rules without providing the context. Their recent touting of evidence showing the Tree of Life model proposed by Charles Darwin as inadequate have focused on the failure of a prediction of the original theory, when we are in fact talking about a very minor effect known as horizontal genetic transmission, where bacteria and some other organisms swap isolated genes between species via plasmids or retroviruses. This is a case of nitpicking, and the data produced in this area, even the data they are citing, does not contradict the common origin of living things. It merely modifies the mechanism. It would seem their strategy here is to selectively reinterpret enough points while ignoring the overall evidence against them to construct a piecemeal argument that supports their ideology. For the last point about ID creationism, I'd like to work from the case of the explanatory filter proposed by philosopher and theologian Bill Dimsky. Bill is an instructor at APTIS Theological Seminary and one of the central figures in ID creationism. Much of his work concerns how we would detect design in living things by intelligent agency if it existed. He obviously has a vested interest in one outcome over the other, and is coming at the scientific process backwards by choosing a conclusion in advance and seeking evidence to support it. But his explanatory filter is an affirmative test, and because there is no way to blind the investigator, the results will always be highly affected by confirmation bias. Are living things complex? Yes, obviously. Are complex things often designed by intelligence? Yes, again, obviously. But what about the null hypothesis? Let's restate the questions for that. Are living things made according to observable natural processes? Yes. Are there any complex things that are not designed by intelligence? Yes. This is another case where he clearly isn't seeking to falsify but to support. If the design were obvious or clearly differentiated from chance occurrences, we would not need some sort of diagnostic test detected. The fact that the null hypothesis that life is not designed has more evidentiary support will automatically call into question any result produced from a biased source. On to my last example, HIV aids denialism. I find this one most disturbing because it has caused so much suffering and death. By some estimates these people have killed hundreds of thousands of people by their misinformation. For those unfamiliar with this group, they deny that HIV is the causative agent in AIDS, and their involvement in politics in South Africa led to thousands of the infected being denied basic therapy. Their arguments have been soundly rejected by the scientific community, but they thrive on the internet and represent an actual threat to public health. Please see these videos for more information about this dangerous pseudoscience movement. The AIDS denialists often use a strategy that is very prevalent in other areas of pseudoscience called the ad hoc hypothesis. Ad hoc means for the purpose. These fallacious arguments are constructed on the spot to gloss over unexpected or unwelcome observations with any explanation that avoids conceding a failure. For example, many denialists insist that AIDS is caused by chemical immunosuppression, especially by amyl nitrate or poppers. When cases are seen in normal healthy heterosexuals, they begin to invent explanations. The person was a secret homosexual or took IV drugs, or they were exposed to a chemical and didn't realize it. Anything to avoid admitting that their explanation is insufficient to explain the origin of the disease. Being confronted with your failures is enough to send some people into a deeper state of denial. This is precisely what happened in a well-documented case. The next deck was Raphael Lombardo, a man in Florida who was homosexual and HIV positive for over a decade. He was a fan of the scientific leader of the denialist movement, Peter Dusberg, a professor at UC Berkeley. Raphael wrote to Dusberg that he was healthy and drug-free, but HIV positive. He took no antivirals, had never used recreational drugs, and didn't even drink. His health was excellent. Dusberg used the content of this letter in his book, Inventing the AIDS Virus. As an example that HIV is a harmless virus, and that it was taking the therapies that caused AIDS, a position he still holds. Raphael died about a year later of AIDS-related complications. What was Dusberg's response? Did he retract his statement? No, he used an ad hoc argument. Here's a quote from a published email he wrote to a colleague. In hindsight, I think his letter was almost too good to be true. I am afraid now he described the man he wanted to be, that he did not use recreational drugs. And his Italian family expected him to be, but not the one he really was. I think he died from Kaposi's. This is such an obvious reversal of position. We begin to see how deeply the confirmation bias affects Peter Dusberg's views. This was a missed opportunity to falsify his position that only people who took drugs or antivirals developed AIDS. Instead, he discounted this evidence with an ad hoc hypothesis, thus ensuring that he never conceded his failure. He has done the same for those who were infected by transfusion, hemophiliacs, newborns, healthcare workers, and married heterosexual transmission. These types of rationalization show that he no longer understands the basic practice of science. The other ad hoc rationalization I can't ignore is the global conspiracy hypothesis.  Anytime they want to discount evidence that doesn't support their view, they proclaim that it is tainted by corporate interests. How convenient this must be.  All the data that falsifies your position is fraudulent. When asked why medical science is ignoring these miracle cures, most althelthers will insist that a shadowy, evil agency is preventing the free distribution of these inexpensive products because it would jeopardize their monopoly on healthcare. I'd like to conclude with a warning to those who value science and logic. I've highlighted the pseudo-scientists here, but confirmation bias cuts both ways. We must always guard ourselves from self-deception. Whenever you find yourself employing an ad hoc rationalization, a selective acceptance of evidence, or a positive test strategy, stop and think about this video. Change your thinking and change your methods. Attempt to falsify your position. Set up a null hypothesis and test it. Be honest with yourself about where the evidence seems to point. I'll end with the words of one of the founders of the scientific method, Sir Francis Bacon. The human understanding, when it has once adopted an opinion, draws all things else to support and agree with it. And though there be a greater number and weight of instances to be found on the other side, yet these it either neglects or despises, or else by some distinction sets aside or rejects. Let's endeavor to keep our eyes open. Thanks for watching.


Isaiah chapter 24, if you would. And just remember, I mean, if you think about what you just heard as we read Isaiah chapter 24, I'd just like to point out how many times the word earth and the inhabitants of the earth was used in Isaiah chapter 24. That's what we're going to look at this morning. So this morning, we're back in our Confounding the Wise series. We're looking at, overall, we're looking at 1 Corinthians chapter 1 and verse number 27. Go ahead and turn there. This is kind of the basis of this series that we've been doing. And it's kind of a series we're bouncing in and out of. And we're talking about popular personalities, popular experts of today. And we're looking at how 1 Corinthians chapter 1 and verse 27 applies to these people. Look at verse 27 of 1 Corinthians chapter 1, if you would. But God had chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. And God had chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. So this is talking about how the wise people of the world, people that worldly people would look at and say, that person is wise. If they don't have the Lord, they would just be confounded. And we've looked at some pretty confounded people. We've looked at astrologers. We've looked at Mikiukaku. We've looked at people like Jordan Peterson, people like Joe Rogan, these experts of today. But because of their blasphemy and because of their turning from God, they've just completely confounded in the things that they talk about and that they believe in are completely ridiculous. So this morning I want to talk about another popular person in the world today, another wise person in the world today. But I do want to say that this sermon this morning is going to have a different tone to it. And the reason is, is because I do not dislike this person that we're talking about this morning. Who I'm talking about this morning is the man that I'm sure you've all heard. He's in the news all the time. His name is Elon Musk. Elon Musk. I do not dislike Elon Musk. Okay, Elon Musk is not saved and I'm going to show you this morning that just that one thing confounds someone. But Elon Musk, why do I not dislike him? First of all, he's not prideful. He's not someone that strikes me as vain. I'm going to use many quotes from Elon Musk this morning. Most of the quotes that I'm going to use are from an hour and a half long interview that Elon Musk gave with the Babylon Bee. It was the cleanest thing I could find out there where he's kind of talking about all kinds of different things. If you don't follow the Babylon Bee, it might be, I'm not saying that I endorse the Babylon Bee beliefs or talks about, but it might just be the cleanest source of news out there today. I decided just a few weeks ago that Fox News is complete abomination and garbage and we'll get into that a little bit later. But I don't even know where to get news anymore. So I go to a Christian satire site, okay? But he gave, he sat down and he gave an interview with the Babylon Bee and I'll use many of those quotes.  He's not prideful, which is impressive, being the richest person in the world. You can tell that he's not a prideful person just by the way he speaks and the way he talks with people. He's an inventor. He's unlike a lot of the people that we talked about. He's not somebody that is focused on trying to convince everybody how great he is. You know, he's not, he doesn't have this, this vain glory that he's obsessed with about himself. You know, of course, he got his start as a, I think he was a programmer, a software guy, and he started a couple small businesses and that led him to be a co-inventor of PayPal, where he got some money there, and then he reinvested these things into companies now that he owns like Tesla, SpaceX, and I believe Solar City is a subsidiary of that as well. But look, this is all that to say this, as an inventor myself, as an engineer myself, I generally like Elon Musk. I generally like this person. If you say what, you know, he's not saved. You know, how could you like somebody that's not saved? Look, I like a lot of people that are not saved.  I mean, we love people as Christians in general in our life. But look, here's the thing. Elon Musk, he doesn't believe the Bible. Okay, he doesn't believe the Bible. Look, I'm going to read you some quotes from his Babylon B interview, where he talks about his religious background. In the interview, Musk discussed, Musk discussed his complex religious background, which he included that he went to Anglican School. I went to Anglican Sunday School, their church of England, basically. And, and the but I was also sent to Hebrew preschool. Although I'm not, I'm not Jewish, but I was, unless I was singing Habanegiela one day and Jesus is all over the next. Later, he said he had an existential existential crisis, read the Bible and other religious classics and concluded, there's a whole bunch of things there they didn't teach you in Sunday school. Isn't that the truth? There's a great wisdom in the teachings of Jesus. Now, this is where you're going to see that Elon Musk, he diverges greatly from the people that we've talked about in this series before. This is what he says about Jesus. I mean, let's just say like, I agree with the principles that Jesus advocated. And that the, you know, there are some, some there's great wisdom in what in the teaching teachings of Jesus. And I agree with those teachings. And things like Tony and the cheek are very important because as opposed to an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye leads everyone blind. So forgiveness, you know, is important and treating people as you would wish to be treated. Love thy neighbor as thyself. Very important. So then he says in the interview, he says, I don't really worship anything. Okay, but let me ask you this. Is the man blasphemous? Was he blasphemous to Jesus? No, he just, he just doesn't understand. And you can kind of tell from his quote there, he doesn't really understand the Bible. He doesn't really understand who Jesus was kind of looks at Jesus as many people that are just decent people that aren't saved. Look at Jesus as just kind of this example, kind of this guy that taught us how to live, kind of this guy. But we know that there's much more to that story. So look, he's not blasphemous, which is why I believe he's not completely confounded and he's had a lot of success in this world. Because he's not just coming out just blaspheming, you know, the Lord Jesus Christ like many of these other people that we've talked about. I also appreciate many things about Elon Musk. I appreciate his, his free speech stance. I appreciate, you know, his, his, you know, his stance against this, this woke movement in our country, he actually calls, he actually calls the woke movement in our country, he calls it, and this is so interesting that he calls it this, he calls it a mind virus. It is a prevalent mind virus, and arguably one of the biggest threats to monetization. Now, what's interesting is, is this man is not saved, and he doesn't believe the Bible, but he has noticed something that the Bible talks about. He has noticed something that is coming from Romans chapter one, where we're seeing this, this virus born out of people that have literally been given over the Bible says to a reprobate mind. He's not saved. He's noticing it. He's noticing what happens. He calls this mind virus one of the biggest threats to modern civilization. Agree. It's so interesting that this man who's not saved and doesn't believe the Bible notices this. And it gives me hope for humanity that maybe there's some common sense left over. He says, look what he says about wokeness. He says it's divisive. It's exclusionary. And here, look what he says. He says it's hateful. At its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful. It basically gives mean people a reason, it gives them a shield to be mean and cruel. Armored in false virtue. Now that is so interesting, especially, especially in the month of June, when we are literally being every single day of this month, we are having this idea shoved in our face that an abomination to the Lord is good, that an abomination to the Lord is love. We're literally being told opposites today. And somebody that's not even saved recognizes this.  Well, first of all, pride is always bad in the Bible. We're being told that people should have pride, which is bad always in the Bible, in an abomination to the Lord. This is like opposite of everything the Bible could say. And then here's another thing. Here's another thing that just like makes my head want to explode is that Christians, when I say Christians, I mean Bible believing Christians. Okay, I'm not talking about Catholics. I'm not talking about people that claim, you know, Christ. I'm talking about people that are saved, that have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, that have trusted on the Lord Jesus Christ and are sealed by the Holy Spirit and believe every word of the Bible, which by the way is Jesus.  If you're saved today, you can't like pick and choose what's in the Bible. I mean, I would like every pastor that just picks and chooses out of the Bible what to preach and what not to preach at least stand up and say, I don't believe in Jesus. Please at least stand up and say that. But here's what really bothers me. And this is why I love that he recognizes that this wokeness is hateful in itself because Christians today, Bible believing Christians are being painted as violent by these people that are abomination to the Lord. They're being paid. It's like opposite world. It's like opposite world. We are sitting here and we're being having this shoved in our face that a pastor that gets up and say, this is abomination. This is abomination. The Lord hates this. The Lord hates this. You know what? That is the most loving pastor. That is the most loving pastor. Why? Because I read last week that there's parents now that have a three year old child that are beginning to transition this child. That infuriates me. You know why? You know why that infuriates me? Because I love children. We literally have this abomination sanctioning. We have government sanctioned child abuse in this country. We have public schools sanctioning child abuse in this country. We love people. Then we have the same people that say, look, here's proof. Here's proof. Here's 1600 years of proof that Christians are not violent. That Bible believing is a matter of fact and it's the same thing that we're seeing today. 1600 years of Christians being tortured, killed, burned because they will not deny Christ because they will not deny the Bible. Because they will not stop reading the Bible. They will not stop preaching the Bible. And all it is is love for people. Love to get people to gospel. Love to get people saved. Love to protect people with the Bible. And what the Bible says. You know, it's just like, it's like, it's like Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propagandist that said if you repeat a lie long enough, people will begin to believe it. It's exactly what's happening today. And I'm so happy that somebody else realizes this. That somebody else realizes this. Look, we're talking about Christians being called violent today when churches are being bombed. Churches, we know pastors who have had their churches blown up. They had to move because their church was bombed. No one cares. Pastors being, I mean, just the pastors that I know personally that have had so many death threats. And worse, things I won't even repeat. Sent to them, but not only them, about them, their spouse, their wife, their children. What is going on today? We have completely lost our minds today. This country has gone insane today. And by the way, these are the same people that are attacking pro-life people as well. It's all the same people. We have, we have churches being vandalized all over the country. We have pro-life organizations being harassed, vandalized, assaulted. But the Supreme Court Justice, not that they're Christian, but the Supreme Court Justice, they tried to assassinate him because of his pro-life stance. And the Bible believing Christian is violent. If you repeat a lie long enough, I guess people will start to believe it. But it is so nice. I mean, look, so I appreciate a lot of the things that Eli Musk recognizes. So do not get me wrong. I do not dislike the man. He says, he says, wokeness. Look at this. This is another quote. He says wokeness.  He says, wokeness gives people a shield to be mean and cruel. This is his own words. Armored in false virtue, he says. That's pretty good that he notices that. That's pretty good. Look, that shows you the intelligence of the man and that he hasn't been completely confounded. Look, it's a mob. It's a mob.  That's what the LGBT community is. That's what the abomin- these people that are pushing abomination on this country is.  That's why they're the ones doing the bombings, making all the threats. And it's, and it's, it's completely out of control. Let's go back to Musk. I like the guy. All that to say this. I like the guy. I, I, you know, I don't, I don't, I don't follow him or anything like that. But I just want to make sure that you understand that the tone this morning is different than the tone I've taken in the other sermons like this. I look, I've met lots of people. I've met lots of people in my life that are unsaved and I have tremendous amounts of respect for them. I have tremendous amount of respect for them. You know, I mean, I remember just, I've been working with guys for the last decade, you know, this, you know, a couple of decades where I can remember being in rooms with people at work and being in technical conversations and meetings and just being like, I'm privileged to be sitting here with these two guys right now. Just because of just the knowledge base that they have. Just what they can do in their life. Just these two, I mean, they're just the expertise that they have in their fields. I mean, they're just very talented people. Elon Musk is in this category for me. That, all that to say that. Okay. But he's confounded all the same. And we'll talk about that this morning. First of all, he is, let me just give you a few points about Elon Musk. Keep your place in Isaiah chapter 24. The first thing I want to point out is he is very intelligent. He is very clearly a very intelligent person. However, he has kind of this, this over, this overreaching concern for the earth. Okay. And I want to kind of point that out this morning that if you don't believe the Bible, and I'm going to show you this morning that if you don't believe the Bible, that one thing alone can send you off on some really strange tangents in your life. And if you don't get anything out of the sermon this morning, I hope you take that away from the sermon is that if you don't believe the Bible, that one thing alone will just send you off. And look, it could cause you to just misdirect the whole effort of your life. Okay. I mean, obviously that's not us, we're saved. But for people listening that don't believe the Bible, this is a risk that you have.  But his genius lies not in probably what many people think, you know, his genius doesn't really lie in electric cars. His genius doesn't really lie in solar power, or in rocket technology or privatizing space exploration. His genius really lies in forming big businesses, big ideas. He's a big idea guy that governments will subsidize, that governments will give money to. That's where his real genius lies. And look, it's, it's genius. I'm not for government subsidies, but he's nailed this. He's very, very smart in forming businesses that are subsidized by governments. The governments have the most money. I'm talking about the United States, China, whatever other governments, you know, look, electric cars, they're all subsidized. Okay. I mean, they're, they're all subsidized. Same thing with solar power, it's all subsidized. SpaceX, he's getting government contracts from NASA.  You know, so they have to have some private company do it. I kind of like that idea that a private company had to come in and do that. But look, this is where his genius lies. He's been able to identify these markets that the government will give money to. All right. And look, he's very good at creating compelling products and services to meet that need. He's very good at that. I didn't put all this effort into building SpaceX and Tesla because I thought they were easy ways to make money.  There are only two car companies that have not gone bankrupt in the history of the United States, and that's Ford and Tesla. And Tesla came within inches of going bankrupt multiple times as to SpaceX. So, right, and like who starts a rocket company, think it's going to be successful. I thought about, I mean, both those companies, I thought had less than a 10% chance of success. So you say, okay, you're just like so complimentary to him. I mean, just like, what's the deal? Well, how is he confounded? Here's how he's confounded. Here's how he's confounded. He's confounded, the first way he is confounded is that he has a heavy focus on saving the planet Earth. Okay, and he has a heavy focus on saving the planet Earth.  And you don't have to be like an expert engineer to know that. I believe Elon Musk knows this. Okay, but he still is a good at identifying these markets. He's not also, he's not an alarmist about climate change. He's not a crazy alarmist about it. He just thinks that, hey, there's calculated risk to it. I'm going to try to find some solutions to it. He, he pushes the idea that we're going to run out of coal and run out of oil and we need to fix these issues. My original interest in electric vehicles was not so much due to environmental concerns, but rather from the concern that we'd run out of oil eventually and or become extremely scarce and expensive.  So, so we needed some form of sustainable energy generation and consumption or civilization is going to collapse. So that was my original interest in electric vehicles and solar energy. And then I do think there's some risk of negatively affecting the climate. You know, as you increase the CO2 concentration in the oceans and atmosphere, this you increase the risk of something going wrong. You know, I've been in many of you don't know this, but I was in the coal industry as an environmental engineer, actually, for close to 10 years. And the plant that we worked at, we were going to run out of coal in about 900 years. So this is not something we need to be concerned about today. I do believe that Elon Musk also knows this. But let's talk about this idea of manmade global warming and the environmental alarmism that we see today, because this drives much of Elon Musk's his life. Okay, so look, turn to Genesis chapter number eight. Turn to Genesis chapter number eight. Turn to Genesis chapter number eight. Let me just give you some context here.  What do you know? Well, like I said, I was an environmental engineer for close to 10 years. I worked in the coal industry.  I believe that there's environment, there's value in that. As an environmental engineer, what I did was I was responsible at three different power plants that burn coal to removing, finding, researching, developing and implementing technologies that remove sulfur, they remove nitrogen oxides, they remove particulate. If you see smoke in the air, that's particulate. It's ash in the air is what you're seeing. We removed mercury from these plants. These things and look at these things, the reason we're removing these things is not just because the EPA was telling us, but they have real health effects on people. If you have a bunch of ash flying up in the air, that hurts people's lungs. That's what the point is, it's not going to end the planet. It's not going to end the planet. So as we were fixing all these issues over the last 10 years in, you know, by burning hydrocarbons, I don't even like to call them fossil fuels, we'll get into that later. But as we were fixing all these problems, then the government came out and said, oh, CO2 itself is a problem.  So they're basically saying when they started making regulations or threatening regulations with CO2 and pushing this man-made global warming, which then turned into climate change because the temperature was going like this. So they went either way. They're saying, we're going to do this, we're going to heat up the earth, we're all going to die. What they were doing is just trying to ban burning anything, is what they were trying to do. Look, but here's the thing. CO2 is not harmful to people. CO2 is not harmful to people. As a matter of fact, plants love it. And as CO2 rises in the atmosphere, the plants, the farmers are getting higher yields from their crops, the plants, they take in CO2 and they exhale oxygen. So there's pretty much a consensus today on the idea that man is causing the earth to change the climate. There's pretty much a consensus like that today, but let me tell you something. Ten years ago, I would go to international conferences and we would talk about these technologies and talk about these things and 90% of the engineers at these conferences, we would all sit there and listen to these emerging presentations on CO2 and we're all just like, this doesn't sound right. Like nobody agreed with it. But I'm just, look, science is very political today. That's all I can say. I'm not going to get into all the details of this. We're going to get into the sermon here, but science is tied to money today. Science is tied to politics today. That's why it's gone completely off the rails. Okay, but look, here's the difference between my view on climate change and Elon Musk's view on climate change. It really comes down to this, the Bible. And it's very explainable. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not mad at him. He's just he's, he's adopting the consensus that's out there. But the reason that I don't adopt that consensus, look, I have plenty of scientific reasons that I could go through and we could debate the whole thing this morning. But we're talking about the Bible. And that's the main difference. Turn to Genesis chapter eight. Are you there? Look at Genesis chapter eight. So here's why, look, I am for being a good steward of the planet that we live on.  I don't like smog. I don't like trash everywhere. But these things are not going to end the earth. These things are not going to end the earth. How do you know that? Because the Bible. Look at Genesis chapter eight in verse number 22. God literally promised us this. Look, we're not going to be able to control the weather. What God promised us in verse number 22 of Genesis chapter eight, the Bible says, God says, he says, while the earth remaineth, he says, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. That's pretty specific right there. That's pretty specific. After God floods the earth, he makes this promise. He's like, hey, all these things are going to go on like this like I planned it until it's my time to end it. That's what God is saying here. I mean, that's pretty specific. It's almost specific enough to the point where you almost have to wonder, like, did God know that we're going to be heading down these roads today? Did God know that, because here's the one thing about climate change, it's one of these very few things that unites the whole world. It's one of these very interesting topics that every country is coming to a consensus on. And this is how these topics, you always have to pay attention to those types of variables, those types of issues that unite the world because before the antichrist can come to power, the world will be united. The antichrist is going to unite the world. And that is what will, that will be a definite milestone. So that's what I always, that's a clue. When we see these issues pop up that everybody in the world agrees on to a degree, you know, these are things that we need to pay attention to. Turn it back to Genesis chapter one. Turn back to Genesis chapter one, verse number 28. So God literally promises us that climate change will not happen in Genesis chapter eight, verse 22. He says, seed time and harvest, cold and heat. It's like the seasons. Look, all you have to do folks, most of the man made climate change evidence is anecdotal. It's people under the age of 35 or under the age of 40 that are like, man, this weekend was hot. It's crazy. Wrecking the world. But if you talk to somebody over the age of 60, especially farmers, you know what they'll tell you? They're like, yeah, you know what this drought, this is like just like back in 1982. This is like the drought of 1950. I remember these times. My great grandpa used to tell me about these times because farmers remember this stuff because it affects them greatly. So it's largely anecdotal when, you know, it's 107 degrees yesterday and it's like, oh man, we need more solar panels.  All right. God promises us that we will not be able to end the climate. Literally. He tells us that type of detail. Look at Genesis chapter one and verse number 28. Look at Genesis chapter one and verse number 28. So it makes sense that Elon Musk would be more in this direction and more going along with this because what am I using this morning? I'm using the Bible. The Bible. Look, I'm telling you, as an engineer, as a scientist, as an inventor, the Bible has greatly affected my career. It greatly affected what I believe is true and what I believe isn't. And it's been a successful one. And I believe that the reason for that is because I believe the Bible. I've not found anything in my technical life that does anything except back up what the Bible has told me. Nothing. The Bible is very scientific. Genesis 8.20, if you were God says, I will not stop the seasons. I will not stop cold and heat. I will not stop winter, day and night, summer, none of these things until my time of choosing, until the end, he says, look, he says, wall of the earth remain. I'm not going to stop it. That's a very specific, scientific statement in the Bible. Look at Genesis chapter 1 and verse 28. And God blessed them and said unto them, be fruitful and multiply. He's talking to Adam and Eve here. He's talking to, he says, and replenish the earth.  And look what he says. And subdue it. And have dominion over the fish of the sea and the fowl of the air and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Look, he says, have dominion over the fish and the animals and all this. But look what he says about the earth. He says subdue the earth. He says subdue the earth. He says, use it. I believe that God put the coal there and he put the oil there. I believe it was there. I don't believe it came from dinosaurs. There's plenty of other people that believe the same thing, by the way. This is just my opinion. You don't have to have this opinion. But he's saying, subdue the earth. He's like, use it. Use it. Look, he doesn't say, wreck it, fill it with smoke. He doesn't say that. He doesn't say fill it with sulfur and fill it with bad things. He's like, they cause health problems because we're going to suffer those health problems if that's what happens. But he says, we should be stewards of it. My father-in-law would say all the time, my father-in-law was a farmer in a ranch and he would say all the time, you take care of the land and the land will take care of you. Be a good steward of it. But use it. Subdue it. And what he's saying is, don't abuse it. Every farmer knows.  But you will suffer for years to come. You could probably graze that crop down to that pasture down to less than a golf course. But then it's just not going to produce well the next couple of years. So we're to be good stewards of it, but we're to subdue it. And what's happening today is we're starting to worship it. As Roman once says, worship the creature more than the creator. But we will not, all that to say this, we will not be able to end the earth ourselves. Or to control or stop the seasons from happening. Look, that is an arrogant, prideful attitude. It seems to be our main problem today, actually. But it's an arrogant, prideful attitude to think that we can control God's climate. We can control the weather. I mean, there's plenty of earthly arguments, by the way, without the Bible. You know, I've already mentioned a couple. CO2 is good for plants. It increases yields. The more CO2 there is, the more a plant takes in. You know, the sun, the sun's a variable. The sun's a variable. Here's an interesting one. Cloud covers a variable. Here's another interesting one. Other planets are warming at the same rate as earth. That's weird to have factories on Mars. Other planets are warming the same as earth. I mean, are there men there? You know, what's going on? But here's the thing. CO2 sinks, the thing that takes the CO2 out of the atmosphere is two things. It's the land, all the plants, all the jungles, and all this kind of stuff. And the major one is the ocean, which covers two thirds of the earth. And the more CO2 there is, the more it takes in. The more it takes out of the air. However, not to get into those arguments, but my main reason for this is because of the Bible. Okay, it's because of the Bible. Now, here's where Musk goes even further with this idea that the planet is in trouble. Okay, that the planet is in trouble. So he doesn't believe, he's following a scientific consensus. And he's going, and he's a big idea guy. I mean, he doesn't like, hey, I'm gonna invent like a better toaster, which I'm sure he could. Okay, but he's like, you know what, we're gonna like fix something that's 200 million years out as a problem, okay? And look, he's trying to, another thing that he's pushing for is this idea that we need to become an interplanetary species. Okay, because in 500 million years, now you see it like, this is an intelligent man, okay? But you see how confounded you become if you don't have the Bible, if you don't have the word of God. So I mean, this is such a great, it's such a great case to study here. Such a, it's a great test case is this man who's very smart, but he wants to make us a multi-planet species because the sun is gonna expand in 500 million years. Okay, the earth is 6200 years old folks. And certainly the sun is slowly expanding, so the earth's roughly 4.5 billion years old. Some people might disagree with that, but it appears to be that way. And roughly half a billion years, the sun will expand to make earth probably uninhabitable. In a billion years, definitely uninhabitable. Okay, and he's like, and here's where he really gets into it, okay? And look, he's sincere.  He's sincere. He's like, and this is what he's missing. This is ultimately what you will miss if you don't believe the Bible because he's sitting there and he wants to become a multi-planetary species and specifically he wants to colonize Mars. Okay, you're smiling and ha-ha, and the kids are laughing, but it's a real thing. It's completely confounded though. Because simply because he doesn't believe the Bible. That's where it leads you. Look, that's where it leads you. If you don't believe the Bible, if you're not saved, you don't believe that there's a God. It leads you to these questions. Why are we here? I think it's important that we take the actions, like that we become a space-firing civilization and a multi-planet species. This is an exciting, inspiring future. Yeah, you need to have things that when you wake up in the morning, you're like, you're excited about the future. Why live if it's all about solving problems of being miserable? Why live? So there gotta be things that are inspiring that like, you know, get you in the heart. And I think space is one of those things. What's our purpose in being here? Where do we go from here? Are we alone? This is Mikyukaku with the aliens coming that he's gonna steal from. This is where it leads you. Every single one of the dollars that are spent on colonizing Mars will be a waste. I can tell you that now. I can tell you that with logic, but I'm just using the Bible this morning. Go to Isaiah chapter 24.  I can tell you specifically from the Bible. Here's what I've already told you. There's no aliens, folks. I'm sorry, there's not. Isaiah chapter 24, I can also tell you this. Without a doubt, we will never colonize Mars. We will never, we will never colonize Mars. You say, how can you say that? Because the Bible. Because the Bible. That's my main point this morning. I'll give you some logical reasons why too, but the Bible tells us we will never colonize Mars. Look at Isaiah chapter 24. What popped out at you? When we were reading Isaiah chapter 24, the earth, the earth, the earth, the inhabitants thereof, the inhabitants of the earth. In the context of what? In the context, and we should pay attention to this today, in the context of the judgment of God. Look at Isaiah 24. Let's just read the first few verses. Behold the Lord maketh, what? The earth empty and make it waste and turn the side down and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof, the inhabitants of what? The solar system, the inhabitants of the earth. The inhabitants of the earth. And it shall be as with the people, so with the priest, as with the servant, he's just listing all the different kinds of people. With the maid, her mistress, as with the buyer, so with the seller, so with the lender, so with the borrower, as with the taker of usury, as with the giver of usury to him. You know what the point of verse number two is? You know what the point of verse number two is? He's listing all the different types of what? Of the inhabitants. He's saying, nobody's getting away from this. He's saying, no, I don't care what you do for a living. I don't care where you are. All the inhabitants of what? The earth. Every single one of them.  Don't care where you came from. Look at all these different occupations. He's trying to get the point across in verse number two that everybody's gonna deal with this. All right? Except the people that live on Mars? Verse 2.5? Look at verse number three. The land shall be partially emptied except for Mars. The land shall be utterly emptied and utterly spoiled for why? For the Lord has spoken this word. Verse number four. The earth. Morneth and fadeeth away. The world languishes and fadeeth away. The haughty people of what? The haughty people. That means the arrogant, the prideful people. The people that thought that they could control God's creation. The people that thought that we had the power to inhabitate all these other different planets in the solar system. These arrogant people, it says they do languish. The people but of the earth. Of the earth do languish. The earth. Verse five. Also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof. Because they have why?  Is he talking about just the people because they live on earth? God's like against them because they're from that planet. There's all these people living on these different planets but he's just against the people of the earth? No, he's saying that he's, this is a judgment because they've transgressed the laws. They've transgressed the laws. And look, who's the sinner? For all have sinned. For all have sinned. So all, we're talking about all people here. All people here and they're gonna be judged on the earth. Look at verse number six. You're like, this is pretty simple. Look, this is pretty scientific. When we have people talking about crazy stuff like we're gonna go colonize Mars and literally spend trillions of dollars to colonize other planets that will never happen. It's like, hey, let's just read Isaiah 24. Let's save the money. Let's save the money. Let's put the money towards like, you know, I don't know, preaching the gospel to people. Look at verse number six. Therefore hath the curse. The curse is because these people broke the everlasting covenant of verse five. Okay, they broke the everlasting, they transgressed the laws. So they're cursed. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth. That they may dwell therein or desolate. Therefore the inhabitants of what? The earth are burned and few men left. Look, don't dismiss the words of the Bible.  Five times in just those few verses, he says the earth, the earth, the earth, the earth, the earth. It's literally talking about this planet, this rock that we're living on right now. There's no Mars, there's no Mars there. We are not going to live on Mars. Let me give you some facts on Mars if I haven't convinced you yet. All right, Mars is negative 81 degrees Fahrenheit. That's cold. Mars is negative 81 degrees Fahrenheit on average. The soil on Mars is poisonous. It's filled with things you could never grow anything there. And here's another thing. Here's the true irony. Here's the atmosphere of Mars. Mars's atmosphere is 95% carbon dioxide. It's like, I thought CO2's bad. It's 95% carbon dioxide, 3% nitrogen, 1.6% argon. Have you heard oxygen in there yet? And it has traces of oxygen. Kind of like our atmosphere has traces of carbon dioxide. Mars's atmosphere has traces of oxygen. Our atmosphere is 21% oxygen. We need that to live. It's completely confounded, by the way.  The pressure is zero as opposed to like 14.7. So the water in your blood would immediately flash to steam and you would explode. So yeah, people don't like Fresno, you know what I'm saying? And here's the thing. Getting to Mars, getting to Mars, they figure that you have to get to Mars within seven months. It's a long ways away. They don't think they can get there in seven months. But if they don't get the astronauts to Mars in seven months, they're going to die from radiation poisoning from the radiation in space. So any, and you'll blow up when you get there and any volunteers, I'm trying to get you to understand how confounded this is. Turn to Revelation chapter 21. Let's look at some more astrology in the Bible. Look at Revelation chapter 21. The Bible talks about a new heaven and a new earth. We talked about a lot of judgment and burning and destruction in Isaiah chapter 24. So the Bible talks about a new heaven and a new earth. Look at verse number one of Revelation chapter 21. Verse number one of Revelation chapter 21. The Bible says, and I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away and there was no more sea. And I, John, saw the holy city in New Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, behold, the tabernacle of God is with men and he will dwell with them and they shall be his people and God himself shall be with them and their God. And God shall wipe away all the tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death and neither sorrow nor crying. And there shall be any more pain for the former things are passed away. But even then, we're not talking about a new few planets. We're talking about a new earth, a new earth. Folks, I'm not saying that we're not gonna spend trillions of dollars on this earth and shoot some porcelain into Mars. We may do that one day, but he or she is gonna die.   Why? Because the Bible and because common sense. We'd be better off colonizing Antarctica.  So look, I would love to, I mean, Elon Musk, I would love to explain the Bible to this man. And you know what? I believe from the things that I've heard, I actually believe that he has the heart where he might listen. He's humble, he's not prideful. I believe he's truly intelligent. And I believe that he's very sincere in the things that he's doing, according to what he believes. I believe that he likes to do big things. I believe that he likes to think big. Look, it would be wonderful to have someone like this on our side. It would be wonderful to see someone like that get saved. And it's also interesting that he's on the right side of so many issues of the day where at least he's noticing the good versus evil of what is happening today. He's not completely lost his common sense. His heart has not, you know, completely turned. I mean, look, you see that, you see that because when you see his statements on religion, you see his statements on Jesus, he's not turned on God. He just doesn't know who God is. Look, he's a perfect example of the people that we're looking for when we go out preaching the gospel. Somebody that just, they're not, they're humble. They have a decent heart. Look, how many people could say that they were humble if they had $200 billion? That's a unique thing about this man. Look, he just doesn't know the truth. That's all. That's all. And you just remember the blasphemous statements that I read you from some of the other people that we looked at. That's why they are so wrong on everything and they accomplish nothing. Look, I wish Elon Musk, I wish Elon Musk would get saved. Now in the, the Babylon B actually did him a disservice. If you've ever seen the interview with Elon Musk because towards the end of the interview, they just, they said, you know, here's some funny guys they write satire and I don't know if these guys are saved or not. I would hope that they are, but you don't know.  We're wondering if you could do us a quick solid and accept Jesus as your Lord and savior. You know, if Jesus is saving people, I mean, I wouldn't stand in his way. You know, like, that'll be true. I'll be saved, why not? Just real quick. This is like exactly what we don't do. They're like trying to just get Elon Musk to save. So then he's like, well, sure, Jesus is saving people. I suppose, you know, I'll let him save me. Not knowing what that means or whatever. And they're like, yes. Just for their own, I mean, there be, look, the thing is like really that part bothered me because here's a man that's nice. Here's a man that they're all just enamored to be in his presence because he's famous and he's a big figure in all this.  And his eternal damnation is just as real as some person that we knock on their door in Fresno.   Turn to Isaiah chapter 47.  I would love to sit down and spend 30 minutes, 40 minutes. I'm sure it would be a much longer conversation with somebody like him, but it does give him the simplicity of the gospel because you know what, that man might listen. That man might listen. Look at Isaiah chapter 47. And can you say that about many other extremely wealthy people in the world today? No, you can't. Look at Isaiah chapter 47. So they should not have made a joke about that. You know, and I'm not, like I said, I'm not endorsing the Babylon B. Look at Isaiah chapter 47. Look at verse number 12. The Bible just has so many statements where you just think like, God must have known. God must have known how arrogant, how prideful we get. You know, man would rise up and God would allow us to unlock some secrets of the universe. He would allow us to unlock some things in this physical world because look, every invention that happens, every machine that's invented and every law of physics that's discovered, that's just unlocking what God already had put there. All we are doing as engineers and as scientists is just trying to reverse engineer what God already had there. We're just trying to make machines that can operate within the rules that God gave us. And that's why I believe that so many of the people that invented so many great things about 100, 200 years ago, they believed the word of God and God allowed them to unlock his creation. That's what we're talking about. Look at verse number 12 of Isaiah chapter 47.  Look at verse 12. Stand now with thine enchantments and with the multitude of thy sorceries wherein thou hast labored from thy youth if so be thou that shall be able to profit if so be thou mayest prevail. God's saying, hey, he's like, you see judgment coming?   Look at verse 13. Thou art weary in the multitude of thy councils. God's saying, God's saying, you've been listening to all these other people. You must be tired. You're listening to so much counsel. All you had to do was listen to me. That's what God is explaining here in Isaiah chapter 47. Then look what he says. He says, let now the astrologers and stargazers and monthly prognosticator stand up and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. He's like, go get the astrologers. Go get the people telling you about where the universe came from.   That's what he's saying.   They're not gonna be able to save you. He says, behold, look what he says in verse 14, wraps it up right here. Behold, they shall be a stubble. The fire shall burn them. They shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame. There shall not be a cold of warm at, nor fire to sit before it. Mars isn't gonna save us, folks. If anything, if anything, and I'm just, I'm shocked at this too. If anything, we should look.  Meaning the temperature and the area away from a star like the sun or something like that. They're estimating that there must be hundreds of planets like earth in a habitable zone, yet there's no creation there. And instead of saying, we need to go and, we should be arrogant and prideful and we're gonna go and be a multi-planetary species. Instead, if a humble people, if a humble people of earth looked at that, you know what they should say? They should see God's creation and God's lack of creation. They should be able to look at the earth that's just lush with the oceans and the life and the animals and the planets and the perfect cycles of the seasons of hot, of cold. Imagine how stable our planet is. It's crazy every single year. It's so stable. It's so stable you can make a living by it. It's so stable you can have growing seasons and they change a little bit every year and it's a variable thing to a degree, but it's so, you can predict the business on it. It's so stable. Yet we can look at all these planets that are just dark, cold rocks and we don't look at that and say, wow, we are special. That's why the Bible talks about the earth, the earth, the earth, the earth and not all these other planets. Okay, so look, Elon Musk, he's not a bad man. He's an unsaved sinner. He's an unsaved sinner. He's sincere. He's intelligent, but he just doesn't believe the Bible. So what that means is it doesn't matter how powerful you are. It doesn't matter how successful you are. Here's the lesson. Here's the lesson. Not believing the Bible equals not only eternal damnation, but wasting your whole life on earth because that's the meaning of our life. You say, what's the meaning of your life? Because you believe the Bible. The meaning of my life is to serve the Lord and enrich his kingdom on earth. That's the meaning of my life. Look, I'm glad that I have some fun in my life and I'm glad that I have friends and I'm glad that we can enjoy our lives, but the meaning of my life, look, this is why. This is why it shouldn't really matter if you're going through hard times or not because the meaning of your life doesn't change as a Bible- believing Christian because the meaning of your life is just to further God's kingdom on earth. It's to be a prophet to other people. That's the meaning of our life. And then you won't start thinking about going to Mars and going to Neptune and all these different things. You'll just be thinking about how you can serve the Lord with your life, how you can get God's kingdom furthered in your physical life, which is just like a cup of water being dumped on the ground. Like a vapor, the Bible says. It's like water that can't be gathered up again. So look, folks, I know you're saved this morning and thank God for that, but appreciate the word of God you have in front of you because you have people, they're living in an opposite world. They're living in a world where they think love is hate and hate is love. By the way, not to go off on that again, but this is why Hollywood, by the way, has been redefining the definition of love for decades. That's why they've been redefining the definition of love to mean some lustful feeling I have towards someone. Because then I can equal love with lust and now I can get where we're at today. It's, look, appreciate this. You know what this is? This is an anchor. This is an anchor in our lives.  We gotta know the Bible. We gotta study the Bible. We gotta read the Bible. And then we will see these things and look, it'll just be like, but the difference, the only difference between a sincere man and another sincere man and a wasted life and a profitable life, is powerheads.


Number five, maintain a healthy body weight. This doesn't mean completely eliminating sugar, sugary beverages, or fast food, but it does involve reducing their intake while emphasizing plant-based foods. Number six, eliminate processed meats from your diet to lower cancer risk. Number seven, avoid high-dose supplements as they may not provide the benefits you expect and could potentially be harmful. This information should not be taken as a replacement for medical advice, though. In addition to these strategies, you may also consider trying archi-coil for PEMF therapy.

Okay, this is the last part of our cluster analysis overview. Solver found optimum locations for each of the cluster centroids, for each of the offers and the relationships to the customers and how they've reacted for those offers. But it's hard to tell what's going on there. One thing we can do is to use conditional formatting, I'm going to select that first cluster, go to home, conditional formatting, color scales, and I'm just going to select a simple one which highlights in darker shades of green the larger the value. You can see for cluster one we have down here these particular offers 24 and 27 have very high numbers close to one. The closer to one that a cluster center is for that particular dimension, the stronger the relationship with how the customers reacted. So something's going on there with those particular orders and just glancing real quickly. I can see they're both peen on noir and that is about the only thing that jumps out at me as to why people jumped on those. Let's look at cluster two and what I'm going to do is just select that column and copy that format and copy that conditional formatting to cluster two, copy it again, go to cluster three, copy it again, and put it on cluster four. The reason you have to do it individually is that we want to locate the small and large numbers in each of these clusters as opposed to putting it as one big range. Although there are some more complicated and in-depth ways we can go further in this analysis and look at the patterns, you can just stop here for our purposes. What I'm going to do is to copy this range of information there, get rid of the extra work and just right-click, copy, go to a new tab, paste it in, and now I can do a little bit of sorting to help with the analysis. I'm going to go here to column H, cluster one, and go to data and sort from largest to smallest. It'll ask me to expand the range and it does and it organizes the information about cluster one from the largest value to smaller values. We'll look at these ones up here in green and see what jumps out at me. Again, we find it is peonor that these folks in cluster one seem to be interested in. They want things that are not past their peak but they don't seem to care which country. There's no pattern there with the discount, though I'm sure take whatever you give them, and they don't seem to care too much about the minimum quantity or even the, well I get to take it back, that July, October, September toward late summer seems to be the most popular time for that group. So you could structure your next custom newsletter for cluster one about peonor noir, publish it in that late summer, and make sure you're talking about wines that are in their peak. Now let's look at cluster two. I'm going to select column I, and I'm going to sort again from largest to smallest, and here we've got our dark greens up at the top there. Now let's look at the patterns and what jumps out at me real quickly. They like minimum quantity orders on these special deals, so you could focus on that. It doesn't seem to matter which month, which part of the year, which variety, oh Espen Monti, they bought a couple of times. The discounts, they like pretty heavy discounts. Those are all 45% or more, and they don't like things that are past their peak, so I would focus the newsletter for cluster two on items that have a minimum quantity, a low minimum quantity. If we look at cluster three, I'm going to sort that again, and here we don't have that much of a pattern except one real major thing right there, which seems to be that these folks in cluster three like champagne in December from France, that is prime, and a moderately sized minimum quantity and a pretty good discount. They like pretty good discounts, so use that information to design that special newsletter. Finally for cluster four, we're going to sort that from largest to smallest, and here though, remember we don't have anything really strong. These these values are all pretty close to one another, but looking across here, we can see that again it's pretty muddy for cluster four. They like champagne, they like moderately sized minimum quantities, they like big discounts, they like things from France, but again it's not super strong, so I might be a little bit wary of how much weight I would put on this information from this cluster analysis, and that brings up a point. We just arbitrarily picked K equal four for clusters. If you had a smaller advertising budget, you might reanalyze this for just three clusters. If you had more money, you might reanalyze with five clusters or six clusters, and then go through this ranking sorting procedure again to see what patterns jump out. Now this is a very simple problem that I've given you here. In real world, you would have more data points, more characteristics that you could put into your database and sort for. But the key thing is to take your customers, take your individuals, and put them into groups so that you can market to those groups, and that's what cluster analysis allows you to do.
