Uniformitarianism -not one of John Q's everyday words but a good word nevertheless since its definition makes it possible for me to give a reasonable explanation why, in all likelihood, God is not going to save those so-called endangered species which many nowadays claim to be endangered and why, also, He will not save eternally those species of life not presently or futurely endangered.

We geologist have been using the doctrine (not law) of uniformitarianism for ages now with a great deal of success. Simply stated it means "what is happening in present time to the Earth and its rock foundation has happened repeatedly in past time. In other words, the present is the key to the past and vise versa - some say, "what goes around comes around."

You don't have to take my word for it, you can discover it for yourself if you take the time to look at God's record which shows that since the beginning of His creation thousands and conceivably millions of different life species have lived on Earth for very long periods of time, which have become extinct, i.e., they no longer exist except in fossil form found in His rocks. This is clear evidence that He created nothing physical which lives forever.

Probably the best known example of this fact is Tyrannosaurus Rex, king of the reptiles and undisputed master-in-charge of the physical world during his time on Earth. This is the guy who stood about two stories high, had two humongous hind legs, two little bitty front legs and a head with a mouth big enough to accommodate at least five sets of full grown alligators teeth! Rex and all the other dinosaurs, the wooly mammoths (gigantic hairy elephants) and the sabre tooth tigers, along with untold thousands of other species whose fossil remains clearly show their earthly presence in times long past, where they roamed the Earth, had their heyday and departed forever.

"Hey, what's the big deal, N.?" The big deal is that all these species, big, strong, and mean as some of them were, came and went. They came and went without benefit of hindrance from mankind. They came because God wanted them to came and they went because God wanted them to went. They did not "'went" because of cigarette smokers, beer guzzlers or leaded gasoline guzzlers, because there weren't any such around when they went.

And it is my considered opinion that these species who "went" in the future will not "went" because of cigarette smokers, beer guzzlers or leaded gasoline guzzlers. They will "went" like those in the past went when their Creator "wented" them, and not one day earlier or one day later because of the pitiful efforts of a bunch of God denying endangered species advocates.

God the Creator, to my knowledge, has made no provisions for the eternal propagation of any physical species. The only provisions He has made is for the eternal spiritual salvation of the genus and species homo sapiens, which means that the only endangered species that is going to live forever is sinners like you and me. So stop your babblings, you pitiful endangered species advocates. Those babblings have no more substance than your Swine Flu virus. The same "Camer and Wenter" of the species of the past is going to be the "Camer and Wenter" of the species of the present and the future - no exceptions. I'm as sure of this as the rising of the Son on Sunday.

Have a good week!

My sincere and deepest sympathy to the family of my good and longtime friend, John Pierce. May God's Holy spirit bless and comfort you all during this time of bereavement.
