Article in 'Creation' Magazine' Vol. 27 No. 1 2004/5 by freelance journalist and amateur asstronomer Andrew Rigg, Adv. Dip. Min.
'This year stretched the imaginations of many astronomers and cosmologists. They have discovered amazing features at the outer reaches of the universe. And they cause headaches for those with blind faith in naturalistic origin theories -including a big bang about 14 billion years ago. In January 2004, a team of astronomers announced the discovery of a massive and distant string of galaxies. By their own dating methods, they were looking at a structure within only 2 billion years of the universe's inception. Much too early for such a complex structure to have evolved naturally1........'
'In another big-bang-defying discovery, astrophysicists from Stanford University claim to have discovered one of the biggest, most distant black holes ever found1.
The super massive black hole is uninspiringly dubbed Q0906+6930 after the coordinates at which it is found. Astronomers believe it exists at the centre of an extremely distant galaxy2 in the direction of the northern hemisphere constellation Ursa Major (Great Bear). This galaxy is said to have an 'active nucleus'3.
The black hole was detected by narrow jets of high-energy particles being ejected from its poles. Such jets are only visible when they are aimed exactly in the direction of the earth, meaning these types of objects - nicknamed blazars - are only rarely observed.
The big problem presented by this blazar is its size. In big bang term, it is just too big to have formed in the 'mere' billion years since the big bang itself. The scientists behind the discovery have been challenged by its implications, 'How do you take something big enough to hold 1,000 solar systems and as heavy as all of the stars in our Milky Way galaxy put together, and quickly crunch-collapse it [in such a short period of time]?1 Of course size and maturity are not a problem when the Bible, rather than man's fallible ideas, is used as a starting point.

2. Although the 'parent' galaxy has not actually been observed, many astronomers believe that supermassive black holes are directly associated with galactic nuclei. ie they are found at the centres of large galaxies. Our own galaxy is believed to have a supermassive black hole, several million times the mass of the sun at its centre. 2. Romani, R.W. Q0906+6930: The highest-redshift blazar.

Should the Sun Shine More Brightly?
Taken from Creation Vol. 26 No. 3 June 2004 'Our Steady Sun' - By Jonathan Sarfati B.Sc.(Hons). Ph.D. F.M..
Dr. Sarfati gives an interesting look at our sun.
'All living things on the earth ultimately obtain their energy from the sun, as do the wind and water cycles. And nuclear reactions power the sun. In theory, as its nuclear fuel 'burns' up, the sun's core should shrink and this would make the reactions occur more readily. Therefore, the sun should shine more brightly as it ages. But this means that if billions of years were true, the sun would have been much fainter in the past. However, there is no evidence that the sun was fainter at any time in the earth's history. Astronomers call this the 'faint young sun paradox'. but it is no paradox at all if the sun is only as old as the Bible says - about 6,000 years.
Evolutionists and long-agers believe that life appeared on the earth about 3.8 billion years ago. If that timescale were true, the sun would be 25% brighter today than it was back then. This implies that the earth would have been frozen at an average temperature of -3oC. However, most paleontologists believe that, if anything the earth was warmer in the past. The only way around this is to make arbitrary and unrealistic assumptions of a far greater greenhouse effect at that time than exists today, with CO2 in the atmosphere than there is today.
Glycomics took many years to be accepted in our modern situation. GlycoScience is designed to provide information on nutritional saccharides - glyconutritionals - that form the scientific inderpinnings for Mannatech's (TM) US product line to US Professionals to learn more about safety and effectiveness of nutritional supplements for patients.

How Does A 'Box' Swim?
David Catchpoole, B.Ag.Sc.(Hons.) Ph.D. discusses How does a 'box' swim? in Creation Magazine Vol. 25 No.3
'.....As Science journal commented recently, 'One look at the aptly named boxfish, and you might expect it to swim as well as a barn would fly.' (Box Swimmers, Science 299(5608):817,2003.)
In reality, boxfish are able to swim extremely smoothly. This is even more remarkable considering where they live - reefs washed up by highly turbulent and unpredictable waters. But even so......boxfish make only the slightest of deviations from their straight swimming paths, as they correct for unseen eddies and turbulence.
'.......How do they so efficiently keep to their swimming trajectory in swirling, surging waters? According to recent research, the boxy shape is a major reason for their 'hydrodynamic stability'. Using a model of the boxfish, Lactophrys triqueter (also known commonly as the 'smooth trunkfish'), in a water tunnel, the researchers found that, as the model was tilted, its boxy shape changed the water flow, setting up counter-rotating currents (vortices). These effectively act as self-correcting forces so that the fish is automatically stabilized.......These finding excited the researchers, who recognized that this same phenomenon is a hallmark of delta-wing aircraft such as the Concorde and the space shuttle,(...generate lift through vortex generation).
This great phenomena of sea life is also apparent in our own human cells when given glyconutrients which were discovered by the scientists at Mannatech Inc. Glyconutrients are vital nutrients with the amazing ability to maintain and balance your immune system helping you to achieve optimum health and prevent even the most insidious of today's killer diseases.

How Old is the Neutron Star?
Item from Creation Magazine Vol. 29 No. 2 By NewScientist bizarre-neutron-star- news service.
'Astronomers are puzzling over a neutron star that 'behaves like it is millions of years old' yet which they say couldn't possibly be that old. They estimate the neutron star (identified as 1E161348-5055) is only 2,000 years old, based on the size of the shell of gas and dust around it. But that doesn't fit with measurements suggesting it is rotating just once every 6.7 hours, because: 'It would normally take a neutron star millions of years to slow down that much.'
In reality, man's attempts to 'measure' the age of things will likely fall wide of the actual age - assumptions can never match the accuracy of an eyewitness account.'
Wouldn't it be strange if this star proved the eyewitness account in the bible in Genesis is true.
That is that the stars were made on Day 4 of Creation week, around 6,000 years ago.
One thing we do know is that the scientists at Mannatech Inc. have proved that Glyconutrients (the necessary sugars) are generally missing from our diet and by adding these Glyconutrients to the human diet there is an increase in production in one's bone marrow stem cell production.

Water Purified by Stone and Flame
Mannatech Australia Proudly introduced the new-age skin care range to more than 60 of the nation’s leading beauty editors, writers and celebrity players who braved coastal squalls to attend the national launch.
They had much to say about Mannatech’s new-age skin care. They were impressed by the range’s advances skin needs maintenance capacity and its ability to nourish, treat and replenish.
Finding a way to naturally preserve products has been described as the holy grail of skin care research for beauty houses for decades.
“Mannatech is delivering a genuine answer to bridge what has been a major gap in the beauty industry’s product technology,” said Director George Howden.
“We have been committed to delivering to the market a true breakthrough that satisfies our wellness mission to deliver only the very best.” He said.

Investigation Shortfall!
The Real Story that ABC’s 20/20 Investigators Missed
ABC’s 20/20 story on Mannatech – Why did ABC not finish their investigation on Mannatech?
By Mark Johnson, June 2, 2007
'...... What about the first place award given to Mannatech's Chief Science Officer, Dr. Rob Sinnott, for the poster presentation he recently showed. Dr. Sinnott’s presentation explained how emerging science is showing that digestive bacteria play an important role in the chemical breakdown, assimilation and absorption of dietary sugars found in our product, Ambrotose.
I guess ABC 20/20 video editors were in a hurry and "just forgot" to put the name and title underneath the short video clip of H. Reginald McDaniel, M.D. (Dr. Reg). Dr. Reg, who was one of the highest paid pathologists (doctor specializing in disease) in the Southwest, was shown speaking about glyconutrients to an audience. I guess ABC sort of wanted the gullible viewing public to think he was just some wacko renegade Mannatech Associate peddling a “sugar pill.”
ABC failed to mention that Dr McDaniel is one of the co-inventors listed on the Mannatech
Ambrotose patent, that he has been doing clinical research with hundreds of patients over the past quarter century, and that he is the founder of the Fisher Institute for Medical Research'.
Mannatech filmed the interview between the ABC reporter and CEO Sam Caster. To see

Living On Ice
Taken from Creation Magazine Vol 27 No. 1 Focus
Snow doesn't take long to pile up in Antarctica, which is why architects who relish a challenge are being sought by the British Antarctic Survey to design a new operational base.
The existing Halley base is the fifth built on the site since 1956 and is the most successful design to date because it can be jacked up on extendable legs to keep it above an accumulated snowfall of 1.5 m (5ft) per year.
'The first four bases were built on the surface and gradually got covered with snow and ultimately got so deep they became crushed by the weight of ice and had to be replaced', explained BAS director, Professor Chris Rapley. 'People living like troglodytes (cave-dwellers) and having to go down a long vertical shaft to get to their homes was not ideal.' BBC News. 26th Aug 2004.
'This reinforces the point about WW11 planes found in Greenland in 1988 buried under 75 m (250 ft) of solid ice - namely, that layers in ice cores taken from Arctic and Antarctic areas did not need vast timespans to accumulate.'
To live on or under the ice at Antartica, one would require plenty of stamina and nutrition to maintain optimal health under such harsh conditions. Mannatech Inc. products are at the cutting-edge of nutritional science, their glyconutrients (the necessary sugars) are necessary in the human diet .
