Hi Sosick, Sorry about that! I misinterpreted the post (which is something easily done on here).

I have used the picture psychology before myself on another forum lol. But in all seriousness, I think that some of those pictures, as have others that Russ posted, speak louder than words and for me? They are uplifting and confirm me even more in my convictions. I don't "need" them, because for me the evidence for design for me is a no brainer. But it's just the icing on the cake.

I would not like to be someone who had access to this kind of information (particularly a scientist) and rejected every opportunity to consider design. Death would be a frightening thing. That's just my opinion.

Oh yes, I have heard that russian recording and have it saved on my computer. I found it highly disturbing! In fact, when I heard the sounds, it reminded me of the sound of people in a HUGE crowd at once in unison, just as they would at a football match, except it was a sound of horror.

I tend to believe it is real. I know this, the men who were involved were warned about this leaking out to others and once it did, suddenly there were others saying "oh it was just a hoax". There is a very strong argument for it being true, when a young guy who had an old recording from his father (who knew one of the guys that was there), had given this recording to the Christian radio show going at the time.

The interesting thing is, they say the hole that was drilled was quickly capped up and the exploration was never finished and the hole never filled back in....

I remember when I heard the recording, I was uncertain because of the arguments of true or hoax and I prayed a strong prayer to God to somehow confirm it either way and something VERY strange happened which I won't go into. But it gave me a "hell" of a fright. Something I did not expect, considering I am not one to get quick or obvious answers.

At any rate, I tend to believe it's true but either way, again I don't require that for my faith. But it is a very disturbing and thought provoking recording.

One thing I have also noticed. Whatever is put on the net, even if is absolutely true, it is inevitable that a cry of "hoax" will soon follow. It was interesting because there was (and is) a Russian recording of a 16 year old girl being exorcised in a Russian Orthodox church. One of the very few that has gotten out. This again is highly disturbing and apparently totally genuine. Been on here for sometime now. However, there was onetime when I was in a debate on "yahoo answers/questions" with a few atheists and I put a link to this recording up.

Every since i did that? Someone has now typed up a response to this on the net to deny it's authenticity, even though the man who recorded this can be reached via email and was there at the time it took place and verifies it....

And no matter what is handed to them? They will deny it. One guy laughed at this recording because it was so eerie and real, he said "Oh it's funny, it's too realistic, so it's gotta be a hollywood recording" and I remember thinking "If it had sounded more like the girls' own voice a bit more often? He'd have laughed at that and said it was not even demonic. It's also interesting that the hollywood recording studios actually copy reality. This is how they do those demonic recordings, based on real life.

So again, even though there are hoaxes and I don't believe anything that comes my way, I'd be very very careful to so quickly disregard these things too readily. Certainly it is a gift when God allows the supernatural to occur, when He's already provided abundent evidence of His reality in the world around us (in my eyes). So they are, as the bible says "Without excuse".

The pterodactyl was another wonderful pic I've added to my computer. I'd really like to know the source of that. I have sent it to a friend here in NZ, who is a creationist and travels around the country to schools. They are called "Dinosaur Rock". You can check them out online (Darryn and Jacky). They are very interested in all these kinds of things.
