Scientist abandon the Theory of Evolution!!!

Today it was reported in the Chicago Tribune that scientist have given up on Evolution. They Just tossed it aside. "The Evidence Just did not fit, it doesn't make sense...We were Wrong" said one scholarly source....

Well one can dream can't he?

However there was some amazing evidence discovered that proved that two separate species of early man were found together. Thats right kids, your textbooks are now wrong...again, because two species of man lived at the same time, not separated by millions of years, and did not evolve from the others loins.


The Chicago Tribune Reports here that scientist have found two Human Ancestors at once thought to be separated by "Millions of Year's" living together. Instead of being rational and intelligent and saying "Hey maybe we were just WRONG" what are they doing? They are changing the whole theory of man's evolution, cramming it together tightly to fit snugly into a very weak theory.

Imagine that you had a theory, in which you clung to with all of your passion, soul and desire, then suddenly in one instant everything you knew came crashing to a halt. Evolution didn't make sense anymore...What would you do?

Nothing silly! You still hold on to the theory because nothing not even new evidence can change it. Don't be ridiculous!

Evolution still remains in tact. It still happened. We just need to find more evidence that make it all come together....

My favorite line from this article is this one...

"...It's always wonderful to have new specimens, but the more fossils we have, the more complicated things become."


Yes sir. It does get complicated doesn't it. Imagine for a moment I threw a ball on the ground and it started to magically rise in the air. The Theory of Gravity would be really complicated then wouldn't it. Yes. Yes. It Would.

The article can be found Here...Enjoy

Disneywho? Six What? Busch Huh?

I just wanted to take a minute to rant about a wonderful place called "The Creation Museum"

It opened eight weeks ago and they planned on having 100,000 people visit the first year. Already they have had more then 100K in the first eight weeks. They have petitioned the city in order to add over 150 more parking spots that are needed despretly. They also have to build additional bathrooms and a canopy to protect the masses that wait daily to get inside. They have changed the goal from 100K to well over 250K which I believe they will meet very easily.

Buses, Trucks Campers and RV's travel daily from all over the country. In order to go to the planetatioum you have to get the tickets early in the morning because ti sells out all day very early.

The bookstore is filled with great books on Creation, Bibiles, John MacArthur, and Spurgeon.

THe Museum walk through is very open minded. Suprisingly it's not a "This is what you have to believe because it is fact" sort of museum like the Smithsonian. Even top atheist say it is alot more open minded then they thought it would be and it's in no way a "Cult" Museum like protestors claimed.

You start out going through the idea of Presuppostions. Evolution evidences and Creation Evidences are compared side by side in giant wall displays and videos.

From there you are shown how the Bible is true. You walk through some evidences and then after about 1 hour of alking and reading and watching you get to the first theater which powerfully shows visually God's creation of the Universe.

Then you start the Museum.

Yep. THats right. You don't see any museum until the first hour of walking and demonstrating.

Then you go from Creation, TO Eden, To the Fall, to the Flood, TO the Tower of Babel, to the Prophets, To the Apostles and To the Savior (Another Fantastic Video)...

Incredible.

I encourage churches (Mine Included) to place the Sight and Sound Theater on Hold for one time, and go here instead. The Robots, The Movies, The Drama trump one play from the S&S theater. This is not meant to ridicule the S&S theater it's just to say that there is more a Church could benefit from (Kingdom Oriented).

 

Is anyone reading this?

Apparently so.

We want to apolgize for the lack of posts. We have not had much access to the internet over the roads of Kentucky and Ohio.

If you are reading this, or have been make a comment and let us know by saying something below. Click the Comment Section Right underneath this Post to do so.

 

What a Ride

So I am sitting in the passenger seat on the way home from a very rewarding trip.

WE went to go see the museum for a second time on Tuesday and spent time in the planetarium. They also have a very incredible multimedia show that mixes Sound, Robots, and squirting water much like the shows at Busch Gardens.

Then we walked the nature trail and met the Coopers. The coopers are from Illinois and after talking to them for a while we learned that they were real warriors for Christ.

The coopers are pro-life activist. Not just any sort of pro-life activist, the Coopers have regularly been thrown into jail. Serving as much as forty days for chaining together and blocking women from entering the clinic. They have been responsible for saving several babies lives, by creating a human barrier that prevents a woman from entering the clinic just long enough to have her change her mind.

The amazing thing is that they spoke of Jail as an assignment from God. They told us stories of being sent to jail and they immediately started to share the Gospel with everyone in that prison. They told stories of how guards would would place prisoners in there with them on purpose, the guards and them worked together to share the Gospel to inmates.

"God just assigned me to a new mission field"

How many people are that Radical for a cause they believe in that Jail (like Paul) was just a change in your ministry assignment.

Hardly anyone in America, nowadays people would look upon the Coopers as Abortion Terrorist who blow up clinics, even though they are not that extreme.


The stories they told of going through the dumpster to scavenge baby parts was just appalling. They looked for little bags of ketchup that when shook revealed baby feet and arms. They have been ministers to several people within the Abortion Industry who suffer serious mental breakdowns.

They told us of the new law called F.A.C.E. (Freedom to Access Clinic Entrances) it serves a two and a half year mandatory sentence. Since the law they have decided it better to just stand on the sidewalks.

The Fourth Day.

Today was long, We woke up early and drove to the Creation Museum like two excited kids on Christmas morning.

We got there and immediately were whisked off to the front of the line (which was extended way past the outside of the building)

We received Media Access and were asked to take our time walking thru the museum. We Did.

It is the most amazing thing ever. To anyone who says "Hey you cannot present the Gospel CREATIVELY" they are mistaken. This was the single handed, most beautiful, complete and creative presentation of the Gospel I have ever seen. Me and Spot both agree that we wish it explained what Sin, and Repentance instead of just saying it, but that minor detail aside, it is fantastic. Words cannot describe the quality of the presentations.

A simple description is that you walk through the museum in one path, you start out with reason. They show you how to look at both sides of the argument open minded. Then you start with the importance of Scripture.

Then you are whisked away into a very theme park like movie theater where you are presented with the first verses of Genesis days 1-6. Very, very well. Speechless.

Anyways without going into long rants of the wonders of this place, it was fantastic.

After the tour we were allowed to interview several guests about their reasoning for coming to such a place. They all loved it.

Still no Atheist. Hello Hello!

We drove to Downtown Cincinnati and accidentally met some people going to a Convention. What kind I asked. Sylvia Browne they replied.

The Psychic from Montel Williams? Yep, that's her. We spoke to a few very spiritually minded people and headed to the house which as graciously extended to us...

This DVD is gonna be great.

Atheist.

Their cowards.

I don't know how else to explain it. The T-Shirts that say ministry scare them.

If any athesist are out there, stand strong on your convictions and talk to us.

The worse I will do is make you out to be an atheist.

Marcus.

 

Almost 1am..The Night Before.

I was watching one of the tapes that we made today, and I have to say that I am really excited for the first time about the video.

I guess I was expecting to be terrified at how the stuff turned out, the color would be unusable, the camera would shake in the Car, all of the things happened at some point but for the most part, I am really, really excited.

I was worried that when we get silly after being in the car all day the stuff we would say would only be funny at the time. But No. Me and Spot played the Tapes back and laughed just as hard or almost harder. Now, I still do not know what the reaction of the comedy will be outside the writers circle, but I really thought it was funny (but I could just as easily be one of those guy's who thinks he can sing and goes on American Idol)

Now what has gone wrong? Has the Trip been perfect? No. No. No.

Have we suffered for the cause of Christ? No.No.No.

But we did have some pretty serious disasters. My computer power supply fried. Leaving us no way at all to transfer the video from my tapes to my hard drives. Which means there where be no more video blogs. There will be no more trailers until I get home and get this taken care of.

We lost 15 MiniDV tapes.

Don't ask me how or where. I have no idea. We only had two tapes left. The problem was solved by a midnight run to Wal-Mart.

Tommorow we visit the Museum. All Day. Then we will be going to Down-Town Cinncinatti to pass out more tracts. We really have a lot to pass out and very little time to do so. We just need to start going crazy...I could be relevant here and say something like "Make it Rain" but I won't.

Keep Praying.

 

The Second Day...Literally.

What an adventure.

Due to lack of internet access I am writing this blog on a note pad in hopes of posting it later.

Saturday was wonderful. We went to the BBQ and Blues festival in Roanoke, VA. We passed out several tracts and got to witness to four people on camera. Two were Christians, One went to a Unity Church while the other was named Tamil which means “Student”. He was a Muslim/Wiccan/ Student of all faiths. HE knew a lot about everything. His scripture was very sound, however sadly he could not grasp the Justice of God. He knew about the scale system in Islam and was not worried about the lack of Justice a scale like that would demand. It was a joy to talk to him, and I pray he comes to realize the truth of the Word, so he could be a “Tamil” for the one true Kingdom…

Last night we were supposed to stay at a missionary board but we visited camp where me and spot first met. We got into some heated discussions over the Emergent Church and fell asleep listening to the soothing words of Rob Bell reading Sex God on audio book.

OK so it wasn’t soothing and I didn’t fall asleep until 3am because I was so angered by his scripture twisting that I could not sleep until I got up and shut it off.

NEW TRAILER VIA HIS HOLY SPACE!

Hey everyone we just posted the new tailer for "Spot and Marcus travel to the Creation Museum"

Be sure to check it out below...

(Have you joined HisHolySpace.com Yet)





 

Day 1

So today began the first leg of our journey. We have safely arrived at Lynchburg, VA and we started our filming immediately. We started with tearfully sappy reunion that was made even more joyful buy the music that played over head.

When we arrived at the place we arranged for stay, the inn was full...and by full I mean empty, and locked.

So as we waited for it to become unlocked we decided to go and tape some interviews, then we ran into a guy outside of a Lifeway Bookstore. We had a great talk about the foundation of genesis. However you will never hear it.

It was such a great conversation that the Microphone mysteriously forgot to cut itself on. (ahem...Marcus)

We apologize to Eric. We are sorry for wasting your time, however the prayer that you prayed with us and the fellowship that we got from you was incredibly encouraging. It was a great way to begin our trip, and I am glad that we forgot to record early so we will be more prepared in the future legs of our Journey...


Marcus and Spot.

The Journey Begins.

The time is near 3am and I should be in Bed but I am writing this.

I want to thank everyone who helped support this disaster we are about to set out upon. It started as one thing and God has pushed it into something completely different from the original form...A Vacation.

Now it will be a solid week of work. Waking up early, finding people crazy enough to talk to strangers on Camera...not knowing if we will "Michael Moore" them to death.

Driving, taping conversations while driving, trying to write a progressive script. ( A script that develops as the time goes by)

and also keeping you informed with Updates.

Here is the basic run through of the process, of course everything is up in the air.

Friday (Tomorrow) I will be sleeping in, packing, taking one last visit to the store, and heading to Lynchburg, VA where I will meet Spot (Stephen) who will be traveling from Tennessee.

We will tape several things Friday night and hopefully post a trailer for you by Saturday morning.

Saturday morning we will be going to the bar-b-q Festival thingy in Roanoke, VA. Followed by maybe a quick visit to the Zoo if we are allowed, then off to Jenkins, KY.

Sunday we will be heading towards Cincinnati in one day. We will hopefully get to Cincinnati by Dark, so we can tape some conversation in the big city.

Monday will be spent at The Creation Museum.

Tuesday will be recreation day at the Museum. (Our time to indulge and learn without any pressures)

Wednesday we will head back.

It's all scheduled to change...Just keep checking in, and post a comment by clicking on the comment link below this article!

I've got a secret! Do you wanna hear it?

Well you can't...

I got to save some stuff for the final product.

Today I got some very good news, that is crucial to the production of this project. But. I cannot tell you what it is. I know I struggled with this for all but two minutes today and decided to wave it over your heads like a dog and a piece of Bacon.

Let's just say this...

With One E-Mail, the pressure of this project has hit us, It's no longer about making a fun DVD while on vacation that shares our witnessing encounters (As if that is not pressure enough)

Nope...Things just got a lot more serious.

Coke and Creation!


So upon reading the AIG website it came as a surprise that AIG has chosen Coca Cola for their corporate sponsor.

This saddens me as I am a Mountain Dew fan, and that is made by the other company.

Read the Article here

Let me just give Coca Cola a virtual high five. Thank you for standing strong for your corporate beliefs and be willing to sell your product everywhere. To many times Christians say "We can't get sponsors because no one likes us."

No sir. Your wrong. True economic lust is blinded to religious barriers. Yes, Even Christian conservatives do enjoy a refreshing Coke every now and then, and thanks to Coca Cola, not only will this be a great museum. It will be a refreshing one.

Enjoy!

Cameras! Sneek Peek of Car Cams!

Hello Everyone! Yesterday was an exciting day for the production of the video! The new camera came. So I decided to figure out how to they would look in the Car. The following are actual images of em and my brother in the car with the cameras rolling.

As you can see already this is turning out very well. The Camera on eBay worked, The Microphone works plus I found out the battery chargers that I have tons of actually work with the camera I have!

Tonight I am going to meet some friends in VA Beach and go Witnessing. I hope to have some video of it for you to check out!

Have a great weekend and keep on praying for us, I am currently in the process of Script Development. This is really tricky because the script has to be made before the trip, not knowing how the trip will turn out. So I have to create not just a great script but one that will be able to be flexible to situations we may or may not come across... It's writing for Reality.

Marcus Pittman

Anyways, Please keep us in your prayers! AND COMMENT BELOW!

7 Days Away...

This past week has been crazy! I usually spend the 45 minute drive to work listening to the newest episode of Way of the Master Radio. But my mind has ben so pre occupied with the production of this Road Trip Evangelism Video that I have literally spent 90 minutes a day in silent thought. I get in these real deep mental dreams scape's of creative bliss. So much so when I got out of my car to get Gas people said...are you ok? It's not so bad. I smiled and gave them a Ten Commandment Penny.

I just want people to know that this idea is just that an idea. It started a few weeks ago when we confirmed that we would be visiting the Creation Museum. I knew I would take my camera and we would witness to a few people. But then I thought...How Far can we possible take this?

I remembered the episodes of Oprah this year (Hey! They fill my Mom's TiVo) where Oprah and Gayle went on the Road Trip across the US. Hey I thought. What if we did that with a more Kingdom mindset?

I decided to see what would happen. Now keep in mind most productions usually require months of pre-production meetings and planning. We had about two weeks and still don;t have much equipment or supplies. Just Experience.

God kind of pressed the Fast Forward button on things. I could tell that the way I spoke of the project was bigger then I actually imagined it. The confidence in it began to show. I got some support from people in my church. The doctors offices went smoothly. It has seriously been a blur this past two weeks.

I got a somewhat decent camera, I got a new microphone, I got tracts. Everything is ready to go. There is still stuff we need, but that will come later.

The most amazing part of this is deal with HisHolySpace.com...

Not only in this week has God set the steps to make a video. But he has given us a place to sell it even though it is not even done yet or even been created.

It's like having a theater ready to play your movie that doesn't exist. Clearly the result of God guiding all decisions.

I have no doubts at all that God wants me to do this trip, But now for the first time I am nervous because of it.

What has started out as a fun vacation has turned into a very serious production, where God will be glorified and should will be witnessed to. Not only that but we have people waiting for a product that has to be good.

Now in every video shoot 1,983,286 things go wrong. You just never hear about them It's terrible project ruining things could end a project. The camera could fail. The Microphone go dead. DV Tapes Break. Not to mention just getting bad video and audio that just turns out to be unusable.

So please if you are reading this comment below and let us know you are praying for us. It is a lot of responsibility that can be a serious turning point for our ministry, if the independent sales of this project go well, we may get a budget from a publisher to do some really amazing stuff, not to mention get the video distributed nationally by someone.

All of that is in God's hands of course. He is guiding everything, the people we will meet that are wiling to sign a release to be on Video. The amount of wind that blows on the microphones and even the amount of traffic on the road.

I hope it's not as easy as it's been. Maybe that's kind of sadistic. But I want a lot of thing's to go wrong. That way I can learn from them, improve and make better products without fear of not knowing what to do "Just In Case"

So please keep Transplant Ministries in your prayers and don't forget to comment below. Let us know you care, or let us know you don't.

Wow...This got me excited!!!




Man, I cannot wait to feast my eyes on Pre-Creation views of the solar system with stunning 4d Projection!

We got Sponsored!

We are very pleased to receive the support of HisHolySpace.com!

HisHolySpace.com is an online community of Believers who come together online for edification, prayer and encouragement. Below is the Commercial that we created for them a few months ago. It's the alternative to the spam infested MySpace. (Is it me or has MySpace totally lost control of their site to Spammers...Shame Shame Shame)



Sign up Today, it's Free!

 

When do we leave...

Just to let people know Me and Spot will be heading to our meeting place in Lynchburg, VA. On July 20th, 2007.

From there we will head to Eastern, KY on the 21st stopping at places along the way spreading the Gospel.

On the 22nd of July we will head off to The Creation Museum and we will visit the Museum on the 23rd and 24th.

If you do not have plans on either of these days let us know, tell us some places that are good evangelism areas. Busy Parks, Festivals, Fair's...If anything liek that is going on near you please let us know...

Click here to see our Route...

 

We Got a Camera! Hopefully?

So as a lot of you know we have been having trouble finding a camera. When I say camera I am not talking about a Camera at Wal-Mart or Best Buy, I am talking about a Pro-Grade camera.

Well as it turns out we were forced to buy a camera that is not of the best quality for production but it is very good. I used the camera as the media director at summer camp. It is 3ccd and has a microphone input and cost me less then two hundred on E-bay!

(On a side note, if you have a ministry and do not use E-bay...Get on the Ball, It is a great way to save money and get good stuff for the use of the Glorification of God!)

It is a great camera with vibrant color, like all things on E-Bay all you can do is pray that it works...So pray for that...I believe it will, because the main goal of getting this camera was to use it for God's Glory to show his creative power through people like us and of course...Save Souls.

Anyways it arrives tomorrow and the batteries and charger will all get here separately so I will not know if it works till later on this week.

 

The Production Blog....

Hey everyone thanks for checking out the Production Blog.

This is a way we can communicate with people as we venture on our mission trip across the bible belt. OK SO it's not anything like Iraq or North Korea, but people in apostate church infested cities in America need Jesus to and I am sure that we will pick up our fair share of unregenerate souls.

Here is the purpose of this Blog.

First we want to use it to generate excitement for evangelism. We will post clips of who we witness to daily. (Time Depending) So as we go through our week you will see several encounters and read about the stories we experience. Hopefully above all things God is Glorified through this little disaster we have set out to create.

Second we want to hear from you. If you live along the areas of VA and KY and know some great public places that are perfect for witnessing please let us know. We are really in need of locations. We would love to go witnessing with you!

As we blog daily from now until the time we get home from the trip we will be keeping you up to date with the project from Pre-Production all the way to Post Production...

As footage is shot and things are documented clips will be shown, trailers made and excitement generated.

So bookmark this page.... Check it Daily.... Oh and COMMENT BELOW. When you comment it let's us know that people are actually visiting our page and were not being lost in the vastness of internet space. So comment on everything...You never know when an encouraging comment can really lift our spirits...
