I recall once, in the late 1970s, when preaching in the Bedford, England area and staying with my dear friend, Dr Stephen Scott-Pearson and his family, I paid a visit a small museum there which was dedicated to the memory of John ‘the Tinker’ Bunyan, a native of that area.

The lady who supervised the little establishment asked me to sign the visitors book and excitedly informed me that Prince Charles had visited the museum and signed the visitors’ book but a short time before. She spoke excitedly of him and asked me what I thought of him, doubtless expecting me to endorse her opinion.

In reply I said, ‘King Charles I was a rascal, King Charles II was a greater rascal and I expect King Charles III to be an even greater rascal!’

This greatly astonished the dear lady but if she is alive, still she has had ample evidence that my assertion was in fact very true!

The latest evidence of Charles III’s ‘rascality’ has been announced in the press in recent days. One news website,  GB news, heralded forth:

King Charles ‘set to travel to Italy to hold momentous first meeting with Pope’ since becoming monarch.

He is a ‘lover’ of all things popish as the previous encounters with the papal antichrists indicate.

UK’s biggest ever dinosaur footprint site unearthed

It is about the discovery of fossilised footprints of large dinosaurs. Of course you have the ‘evolutionist’s folly’ displayed in that they dated at some 166 million years ago.

The report details how they were uncovered. “The tracks were first spotted by Gary Johnson, a worker at Dewars Farm Quarry, while he was driving a digger.

I was basically clearing the clay, and I hit a hump, and I thought it’s just an abnormality in the ground,” he said, pointing to a ridge where some mud has been pushed up as a dinosaur’s foot pressed down into the earth. But then it got to another, 3m along, and it was a hump again. And then it went another 3m – hump again. Another trackway site had been found nearby in the 1990s, so he realised the regular bumps and dips could be dinosaur footprints.

“I thought I’m the first person to see them. And it was so surreal – a bit of a tingling moment, really,” he told BBC News.

The Evolutionist — ‘So near yet so far away from God’s truth’!

This was offered by way of explanation for the wonderful preservation of the very old footprints: “Something must have happened to preserve these in the fossil record,” said Prof Richard Butler, a palaeobiologist from the University of Birmingham. We don’t know exactly what, but it might be that there was a storm event that came in, deposited a load of sediments on top of the footprints, and meant that they were preserved rather than just being washed away.” (more…)
