I watched an interesting documentary on the History Channel HD. "Underwater Universe" provided SEA STORIES about the seven deadliest zones throughout the oceans of the world. On Wednesday 24 Jun 2009 at 1400Q (EDT, GMT-4), the program listed the following locations.

1. Andaman Sea (Java Trench)

2. Mar de Hoces (Cape Horn - Antarctic Circumpolar Current)

3. Caribbean Sea (Hurricane Alley - Warm Core Rings)

4. Philippine Sea (Challenger Deep)

5. Aegean Sea (Santorini)

6. Sea of Norumbega (Old Sow Whirlpool)

7. Beaufort Sea (Northwest Passage)

The 90-minute program was quite informative. Unfortunately, during the last five minutes the program proposed unsubstantiated conclusions about MAN-MADE global-warming. The facts presented did not support the UNSCIENTIFIC theories advanced by global-warming proponents.

Science is a very effective approach to inquiry and analysis. It is NOT a source of authority. Science is a search for truth. It is not a search for agreement. Therefore, science must be based on skepticism, not consensus. Be very suspicious whenever the advocates of man-made global-warming try to politicize a scientific debate. Follow the money.

To learn more about these seven topics, follow the Wikipedia links provided below.

1. The Andaman Sea is a body of water to the southeast of the Bay of Bengal, south of Myanmar, west of Thailand and east of the Andaman Islands; it is part of the Indian Ocean. The Java Trench, more accurately called Sunda Trench, located in the northeastern Indian Ocean, with a length of 2,600 kilometres (8,500,000 ft) and a maximum depth of 7,725 metres (25,340 ft) (at 10°19'S, 109°58'E, about 320 km south of Yogyakarta), is the deepest point in the Indian Ocean.

2. The Drake Passage or Mar de Hoces -Sea of "Hoces"- is the body of water between the southern tip of South America at Cape Horn, Chile and the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. It connects the southwestern part of the Atlantic Ocean (Scotia Sea) with the southeastern part of the Pacific Ocean and extends into the Southern Ocean.

3. The Caribbean Sea is a sea of the Atlantic Ocean situated in the tropics of the Western hemisphere, bounded to the south and west by the American landmass, with the North Atlantic Ocean proper to the northeast and the Gulf of Mexico to the northwest.

4. The Philippine Sea is a marginal sea east and north of the Philippines occupying an estimated surface area of 90, 000 mi (1, 000, 000 km). The Challenger Deep is the deepest surveyed point in the oceans, with a depth of approximately 11,000 metres (36,000 ft). The error of measurement is less than a hundred metres. It is located in the Mariana Islands group at the southern end of the Mariana Trench.

5. The Aegean Sea is an elongated embayment of the Mediterranean Sea located between the southern Balkan and Anatolian peninsulas, i.e., between the mainlands of Greece and Turkey respectively. Santorini is a small, circular archipelago of volcanic islands located in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km southeast from Greece's mainland. It is also known as Thera.

6. Norumbega was a legendary settlement in northeastern North America, inextricably connected with attempts to demonstrate Viking incursions in New England. Like Cathay, it was a semi-legendary place name used to fill a gap in existing geographical knowledge. Old Sow is the name of the largest tidal whirlpool in the Western Hemisphere located off the southwestern shore of Deer Island, New Brunswick, Canada between that island and Moose Island, the principal island of Eastport, Maine. According to popular etymology the name "Old Sow" is derived from "pig-like" noises the whirlpool makes when churning; however, a more likely origin is the word "sough" (pronounced "suff"), defined as a "drain," or a "sucking sound." Early settlers to the area may easily have mispronounced "sough," as "sow," due to its similar spelling to other words with "sow-sound" endings, such as "plough." The whirlpool is caused by local bathymetry and extreme tidal range where waters exchange between Passamaquoddy Bay and the Bay of Fundy, combined with the unusual topography of the location's sea floor at the confluence of the numerous local currents.

7. The Beaufort Sea is the portion of the Arctic Ocean located north of the Northwest Territories, the Yukon, and Alaska and west of Canada's Arctic islands.

Buddhists have an expression. "What is REAL is that which never changes." God never changes. Therefore, God is REAL.

God doesn't change insofar as His existence is eternal. Is your existence eternal? "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." [Ezekiel 18:20 KJV]

Scientists have an expression or saying that applies to the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI). It applies to God also. "ABSENCE OF EVIDENCE IS NOT EVIDENCE OF ABSENCE." Albert Einstein believed that "God does not play dice with the universe." Einstein, one of the smartest scientists in recent history, believed in God. However, many scientists reject the idea of divinity.


Stephen Foster said: "Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily life is but a dream." Are your life experiences real or merely manifestations of a dream? Is your life real or just an illusion? Deciding "what is real" is like viewing holograms. The perspectives and consequent implications look different from each direction. To understand with clarity, one must contemplate on a higher level. One must outgrow the egocentric mindset.

Citizens should protect any constitution that proclaims the existence of a God from whom legal and political rights originate. Otherwise, the government could declare individual "rights" to be null and void. This outcome is known as Collectivism.

Hitler, Stalin, and Mao rejected moral absolutes. Similarly, Liberals (AKA Progressives) want to destroy belief in God in order to advance the notion of "Moral Relativism." Beware of this grave danger because the political consequence of eradicating God from public life is ENSLAVEMENT. Moral Relativism leads to tyranny.

On Friday 12 Jun 2009, Bill O'Reilly debated with Joan Walsh, editor of salon.com in San Francisco CA. Bill O'Reilly seemed to be the clear winner. Following the intense debate, I sent an e-mail message to Bill O'Reilly to commend him.

RE: Late-Term Abortion Debate with Joan Walsh on Friday 12 Jun 2009

Dear Bill O'Reilly,

I was very inspired by your assertive and courageous advocacy for the Right to Life. In particular, I was impressed by your argument that although late-term abortion might be legal in some states, it is WRONG and IMMORAL everywhere. "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." [George Orwell]

During the televised debate, you defeated utterly the illogical and preposterous arguments advanced by the editor of Salon.com, Joan Walsh, located in San Francisco CA. When she realized that her radical position was absolutely ridiculous, she tried to distract the audience with numerous irrelevant propositions. Nevertheless, you stayed focused. You won the debate because your pro-life positions were factual while her pro-death positions were emotional.

www.foxnews.com/search-results/m/2248977...

I have two main points regarding the advocates for late-term abortion:

• Liberals rely on deceit, not truth. "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" [Jeremiah 17:9]

• Liberals advocate brutality, not compassion. "If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever." [1984, George Orwell]

Because late-term abortion is absolutely unconscionable, advocates for late-term abortion deserve any ridicule that they might receive.

Yours sincerely,

Trusty Shellback
