EXTINCTION Spike
We are Losing Life
on Planet Earth
 
Ongoing Disruptions and Conflict in the Middle East

Peace negotiations continue to bring appearance of security but true peace is fleeting at best (see: 1Th 5:3)

Within the WindowView... Many themes converge... And here you are!

- Consider that this time line is part of a web site that through science, reveals humans and all life are the product of origins that are not adequately explained as a result of biological evolution. Take a look at the science and the evidence. There is a special relationship to being here. How so? To start exploring this perspective see the Sciencearea.

- Global change grips our planet, degrades the environment, and promises continued decline in the future. Scientists now tell us that life on earth is going to encounter even more worrisome change. How can we grasp the importance of this for our future's sake? See and experience the science to Scripture 'transition' here within the Window area.

- Furthermore... the Middle East and especially Israel are in the news... daily... the stories keep coming. Within the mix of news there are one people who are the intended focal point, the messenger to all nations, the kingpin to your future... see how this is reflected in the Harmony area.
