Mission possible
Last night we rented the movie "The life of Pi" and it was very good!!! In short, it is the story of a shipwrecked boy on a lifeboat, whose only companion is a ferocious tiger. I understand now, why it won Academy Awards. If you haven't seen it, do so, you will be glad you did. When I saw this picture of a flying squirrel, I thought I had seen everything... and then there was the video link above... Both the movie and the video reminded me of the book of Genesis account of creation...
Genesis, Chapter 1
20 God said, “Let the waters abound with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of sky.” 21 God created the large sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind”; and it was so. 25 God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good.
26 God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

Animals are not the equal of man, they are subordinate to his will. This is not my idea, it was ordained by the creator of the universe; to believe otherwise is falsehood. Animals can do amazing things (like the flying squirrel in the picture) or even be trained (check out the video once again or watch the life of Pi) but they are NOT HUMAN!!! When Hollywood raises the state of animals to that of man, they are in direct contradiction with the word of God. Think about what you believe and why; then read Genesis, Chapter 1 again, you may look at yourself in the mirror differently from now on...
