‘Given the challenges facing Big Science and Big Media these days (21 Jan 2023), it’s hard to know if a paper is a product of a chatbot, a paper mill, or a spoofer. This one from University College London seems too goofy to be genuine.
Split-second of evolutionary cellular change could have led to mammals (University College London, 23 Jan 2023).
A newly-published hypothesis, led by a UCL researcher, suggests a momentary leap in a single species on a single day millions of years ago might ultimately have led to the arrival of mammals – and therefore humans.
We wouldn’t be surprised if John Martin and Paolo D’Avino are planting a hoax to see if Darwinians will take them seriously. If so, they had to get cooperation from the press office, because this could reflect badly on this once proud and honorable college founded in 1826 to spread public education to the common man. If this is “education” now, the common man and woman needs to be home schooled.
Published in the Journal of Cell Science, Professor John Martin (UCL Division of Medicine) thinks a single genetic molecular event (inheritable epigenetic change) in an egg-laying animal may have resulted in the first formation of blood platelets, approximately 220 million years ago.
In mammals and humans, platelets are responsible for blood clotting and wound healing, so play a significant role in our defence response. Unlike our other cells, they don’t have nuclei – so are unique to mammals, since other classes of animal such as reptiles and birds have blood clotting cells with nuclei.
It gets goofier. Humans are related to the duck-billed platypus?
The researchers suggest that millions of years ago a mammalian ancestor – possibly an animal related to the duck-billed platypus – underwent the very first formation of platelets, thanks to a sudden genetic change in the nucleus of its blood clotting cells that meant normal cell division did not take place causing the cells to increase in size.
The story could pass muster in the Darwin Party because it includes all the usual requirements: storytelling form, high perhapsimaybecouldness index, completely materialistic, driven by chance, and contributing to human evolution.
The paper is open access if anybody wants to check it out: Martin and D’Avino, “A theory of rapid evolutionary change explaining the de novo appearance of megakaryocytes and platelets in mammals,” Journal of Cell Science (135:24), 22 Dec 2022.
It’s not April Fool’s Day yet, but we’re not buying it. This must be a hoax. Can some of our readers browse the paper and see if there is any serious basis for the claim? Does it show signs of a parody? How can anyone believe that instant platelets became inherited by Mrs Platypus, she laid an egg and humans hatched out? (roughly speaking).
One odd thing is that a Google search for this hypothesis is not getting much traction. Perhaps the Darwin Party is trying to see if creationists will fall for their latest scam. Sorry. We know Darwinists are immoral storytellers, but this is over the top.’https://crev.info/2023/01/instant-mammals-lol/
Psalm 147:2-3 “The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds.”
‘Dinosaur fossil hunters and paleontologists have long debated whether dinosaurs were warm-blooded or cold-blooded. With reptile characteristics, it was expected that dinosaurs would be cold-blooded. Yet, some evidence indicated that they must have been warm-blooded. The problem is that their soft organs are almost never fossilized.
The words “almost never” are important. A dinosaur liver and diaphragm – the soft parts – were recently found fossilized. Fossilization of soft organs is a testimony to the rapidity with which the dinosaurs were encased in the mud that later hardened to rock. Now a fossilized dinosaur heart has been discovered in South Dakota within the chest cavity of a fossilized Thescelosaurus. Once researchers recognized that the stone within the chest cavity might be a heart, they x-rayed it. X-rays revealed a four-chambered heart with one aorta. Reptiles have two aortas. In other words, Thescelosaurus had a heart constructed like the hearts of warm-blooded animals. This kind of heart is more efficient in delivering oxygen to the body. This in turn supports a more active lifestyle and higher metabolic rates. Based on the structure of Thescelosaurus’s heart, many scientists have concluded that it was indeed warm-blooded.
‘China is reaping the consequences of its brutal one child policy.
After killing approximately 400 million unborn babies in abortions — some of them by force, the Asian nation is now dealing with a new problem: a shrinking population.
The Washington Times reports new data released by the Chinese National Bureau of Statistics this week show more deaths than births in 2022. After 9.56 million births and 10.41 million deaths last year, there are approximately 850,000 fewer people in China, according to the data.
‘Harvard Medical School students can learn about how to provide healthcare to “infants” who are LGBTQIA+, according to a course catalog description.
“Caring for Patients with Diverse Sexual Orientations, Gender Identities, and Sex Development,” a regularly available med school course, promises to give students a chance to work with “patients [who] identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex or asexual.”
If you know the Lord Jesus Christ as personal Saviour you already know how ridiculous and anti-biblical the above video is.
Luke 11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
John 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also
Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
‘Regular readers of this truth telling newsletter already are well informed about the many ill effects of COVID vaccines. But there is always more to understand as medical research keeps unfolding.
First, to summarize the ugly reality it is important to recognize what the great Dr. Peter McCullough has noted. Roughly 15% of vaccine recipients develop a health problem after taking a COVID-19 vaccine. Compared to decades of previous vaccines, that is a huge number that previously would have caused the government to take such a vaccine off the market.
The key question is what can cause only some people who get the shot to suffer ill impacts? Some key factors include: the lot number of the vaccine that serves as a proxy for mRNA quantity or contaminants, susceptibility based, for example on underlying medical conditions such as obesity, diabetes, cardiac problems and other diseases, and even inherited blood clotting disorder. Of special importance is the high incidence of myocarditis in young people in good health, especially boys and men. This has been connected to unusual high numbers of sudden deaths, especially in athletes.
Now comes a new published medical study of extreme importance. The title is: Circulating Spike Protein Detected in Post–COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Myocarditis. Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard School of Medicine, had 13 young boys and 3 girls hospitalized with myocarditis and available for study. The reseachers found all the subjects had large quantities of free circulating Spike protein generated from the vaccines while control subjects without myocarditis did not. That is a huge, important medical finding.
The article concluded:
“Immunoprofiling of vaccinated adolescents and young adults revealed that the mRNA vaccine–induced immune responses did not differ between individuals who developed myocarditis and individuals who did not. However, free spike antigen was detected in the blood of adolescents and young adults who developed post-mRNA vaccine myocarditis, advancing insight into its potential underlying cause.”
The researchers prospectively collected blood samples from 16 patients who were hospitalized with myocarditis after receiving the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, and compared them to 45 healthy, vaccinated control subjects of the same age. They performed extensive antibody profiling, including tests for SARS-CoV-2-specific humoral responses and assessments for autoantibodies or antibodies against other viruses. They also analyzed T-cell responses and cytokine production in the blood samples. They found that the immune responses induced by the mRNA vaccine did not differ between the patients who developed myocarditis and the control subjects. However, they did find that the patients with myocarditis had higher levels of free, unbound spike protein in their blood, which could be a potential cause of myocarditis in these individuals.
The study looked at sixty-one adolescents and young adults between the ages of 12 and 21, including 16 individuals with vaccine-associated myocarditis, provided blood samples for analysis. The majority of individuals with myocarditis were male, and symptoms typically occurred within the first week after vaccination. Most of these individuals developed myocarditis after the second vaccine dose, but some developed it after the first or third booster dose. All patients presented with chest pain and had elevated levels of cardiac troponin T and C-reactive protein.
The researchers compared the serological responses of the individuals with myocarditis to those of asymptomatic vaccinated control subjects and found no significant differences in anti-spike or anti-RBD immunoglobulin M, IgG, or IgA levels, or in the ability of the antibodies to engage Fc receptors or activate complement. They also found no significant levels of self-antibodies or strong antibody responses to common pathogens in the myocarditis group compared to the control group. The researchers concluded that all adolescents and young adults mounted a substantial immune response after vaccination, conferring protection against SARS-CoV-2, and that there was no indication that a specific antibody response is associated with myocarditis.
The group with myocarditis also had cytokine profiles similar to those seen in a condition called MIS-C (multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children), with elevated levels of interleukin (IL)-8, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-10, interferon-γ, and IL-1β, and lower IL-4 levels compared to the control group. Additionally, total leukocyte and neutrophil counts were significantly increased in the group with myocarditis, while platelet counts were decreased. These results suggest that postvaccine myocarditis is associated with normal adaptive and T-cell immunity but modest innate activation.
Here is the key point: The spike protein they had in their bodies had evaded the apparently sufficient library of antibodies (from the vaccine or previous infection) that were supposed to neutralize it. Thus, it is possible that some persons do not make specific neutralizing antibodies after injection, and thus, the spike protein is able to circulate and damage the body, specifically the heart muscle and possibly other organs, including the brain. Other research has found that harmful impacts can happen many weeks or months after booster shots. Scars in heart muscle could explain serious impacts and deaths.‘https://joelshirschhorn.substack.com/p/improved-understanding-of-how-covid
This type of bill seems to be unnecessary for a supposedly civil society. You have groups seeking to save the whale and save the Koala but save the unborn isn’t on their radar.
Gay, homosexual, lesbian or any of the multitude of binary categories is never mentioned in the Creator’s manual! Sodomites are mentioned along with male and female. Romans Chapter One tells us all we need to know concerning what the Creator thinks of sex outside the relationship of one man and one woman. However, in spite of what the Creator’s manual tells us, society continues down the road of self-destruction!
‘One of the benefits of the political upheaval of the past several years is that no one is surprised anymore when the legacy media act more like partisan activists than objective journalists. In fact, such bias is what most of the public has come to expect from the news industry and is also why the vast majority of people disapprove of it.
Still, the lengths to which the media are willing to go to advance their own ideological agenda can sometimes shock even the most weathered press watchers.
The best example of this from the past year is the media’s deliberate distortion of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act, which is more commonly known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. The very fact that the bill is known as such proves my point. Leftist activists didn’t like that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) was cracking down on the gender ideology agenda in public education. They came up with a dishonest nickname for the bill, and the media made sure it stuck.
‘The doctor who prescribed the reversal pill to Amrita, Dr Dermot Kearney, came to the stage and the thunderous applause he received would make anyone think he was the most popular doctor in the country. Dr Dermot looked towards the small group of abortion supporters which had congregated nearby and directed a sentence towards them ‘People here say they are pro-choice – we were the ones helping the women who decided they wanted to try and save their babies’. He went on to add ‘The pro-life movement has one simple message ‘Every single life has equal, inherent value without exception’.’ https://www.marchforlife.co.uk/aiovg_videos/dr-dermot-kearney-march-for-life-uk/
