It's Self-Brain Surgery Saturday!We're all taught in school that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution explains how we got here. But the truth is, modern molecular biology continues to struggle to prove even the most basic elements of that idea. Survival of the fittest is an obvious truth, but survival does not explain arrival, and since Watson and Crick gave us the molecular structure of DNA in the 1950's, the picture has become more and more bleak for the Darwinists.

All of a sudden this "God guy" that everyone ELSE was talking about that I had never met, and frankly never cared to meet… ...suddenly appeared to ME --and revealed, completed, and healed parts of my story I didn't even know needed a
