"The Darwinian macroevolution model is represented by a single tree of relationships, every form of life being related to every other form of life (Figure 1). In the baraminic model there is a forest of trees without connecting roots (Figure 2). One of these rootless trees would have branches representing only human diversification, another for canids, another for felids, etc. For people reared on an evolutionary diet, the above menu can be difficult to swallow and digest, because students of biology have been taught to think genetic relationship rather than genetic discontinuity. "
Here is how the Christian researchers are viewing their work in Baraminology:
It sure would be nice for this to have already been figured out, before we study science and biology, but it seems that this process of man taking dominion by naming things in alignment with God's creating of things is still work that needs your generation to flush out the details of.
Scriptures
- Genesis 1:11
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. - Genesis 1:12

Have you ever been to a funeral for a military veteran, and wondered why they fired guns into the air?
This is a three round salute, usually consisting of seven guns, fired three times, which has originated from the old battle custom of two opposing sides in battle ceasing fire while fallen soldiers are removed from the battle field and properly cared for. The firing of three rounds symbolized that the bodies were properly cared for, and the battle was resumed.
This also has connections to an old naval custom of firing seven guns, the number of which most ships had, as a salute. Land batteries could fire their guns at a rate of 3 to 1 compared to that of naval vessels, so their salute was three rounds of seven guns. When gunpowder was improved, and was able to be fired at a faster rate by the naval vessel, the universally accepted naval salute was standardized at three rounds of seven guns.
Well, hope that answered your question, if you were even curious to begin with… and I hope it was informative either way. :)

Did you ever read Genesis chapter 12, and think, “God has blessed Israel several times over, and prior to 1900, they’ve received all of their blessings?”
If so, allow me to prove you wrong. If not, allow me to interest you.
True, the Jews have been persecuted several times in the past, such as when Haman tried to wipe them out in Esther 3:8-9, when the Pharaoh of Egypt tried to do likewise in Exodus 14:5-9, and one of the most current ones, during the holocaust (1933-1945, when roughly 6,000,000 Jews were killed), but the Jews continue to survive.
As of a poll taken in 2010 by the Population Reference Bureau, about midyear, the world’s population is estimated to be at around 6.9 billion, and about 1.34% of that is number is made up of Jews. Keeping that number in mind, what would you do if I told you that there have been 813 people awarded a Nobel Prize between 1901 and 2010, and that over 160 of these were Jews? I mean, that’s over 20%!
What if I told you that Albert Einstein, who was declared the person of the century by Time magazine, was Jewish (and at that point in history, Jews made up only 0.6% of the population)? Not to mention that he created the theory of the Photoelectric Effect, and my favorite the theory of Why the Sky is Blue.
Also, an interesting statistic is that in 1919, 80% (remember that only 0.6% of the world’s population was Jewish at the time) of the students enrolled in New York’s Hunter and City colleges were Jewish, and of those at Columbia, 40% of were Jews. To top it off, 21% of the freshman class that year at Harvard were Jewish, that annoyed the Harvard Univ. president A. Lawrence Lowell, who tried to place a quota on Jewish enrollments of 15%. Oh... should I mention that 40% of New York City and Washington D.C.’s lawyers are Jewish?
Last that I will discuss here, is that there has only been one nation in all of history that has been scattered, lost its recognition, and then recovered. That would be Israel. In 1948, Israel became a newly recognized nation, and is located where it was originally at.
Well, I hope this sparked your curiosity... and if not, well, that’s too bad, but I’m done about all I can’t convince you, it’s up to you to decide whether or not to believe that Israel is still under God’s protection and receiving His blessings.

P.S. If you use Google as a search engine, you may have noticed their September 16th Google doodle of Albert Szent-Gyorgyi… who, by the way, is Jewish.
