Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Mostly mental fog, reduced mental acuity, that kind of stuff is what I have seen.
The example is being set globally, anyone who opposes the satanic Zionists will be persecuted. This is only the beginning.
They cannot control your minds with lies anymore so they will use authoritarianism and deny you all your so called human rights.
Zionism is a plague.
What are you going on about? Trump destroyed any hopes of "Greater Israel" which was the very first necessary step towards Zionist world dominance.
Have you looked at the new Hate law going up in Australia? You are not seeing what I'm seeing
So, from what I'm hearing they have been bussing people into Minneapolis for several day's and surprise someone get's shot, I'm not buying it.
I’ve been busy today and haven’t been able to do my daily video watching, on instagram yet. Early I did see one video, protestors poured water on a snow bank and a few ICE agents feel & slide down. I can’t wait for every last one of them to be in prison.

Yep I was involved in the Occupy movement run by the SEIU union and they would load the most crazy radicals on busses and deliver them to cause serious shit.
Any good churches streaming on Sunday? I see some faves will be closed due to weather. Bible, community, Baptist, non denomination
This is a great church.
They will be closed Sunday but they are doing their Saturday 5:00pm service.
They stream every Saturday and Sunday.

Very proud of Japan dissolving its House of Representatives today.
If only we could do that here. Maybe we'd get something done.
Or maybe that's something Trump has up his sleeve?
Lots of politicians have been placed in submission. They didn't run for reelection. Also remember all the ones with casts on their legs? Or black eyes?
#1 Origins News Story of 2025: ICR Dr. Jeff Tomkins' Chimp Genome Research Confirmed and Vindicated BY JAKE HEBERT, PH.D. * | WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 2026
https://www.icr.org/article/the-1-origins-news-story-2025-icr-dr-jeff/?utm_source=phpList&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=This+Week+at+ICR+%23258+%7C+Submit+Your+Questions+to+The+Creation+Podcast&utm_content=HTML
Research by ICR geneticist Dr. Jeff Tomkins was at the center of origins news in what has been called the “No. 1 Story for 2025.”1 The prestigious journal Nature confirmed (albeit grudgingly and belatedly) that the true genome-wide DNA similarity between humans and chimpanzees is no more than 85%,2 rather than the 98%–99% similarity that has long been touted in both the technical and popular science literature as evidence that humans and chimpanzees are related.3–5 The recognition that the true genetic dissimilarity is closer to 15% even found its way onto the popular news website Live Science.6 Yet over seven years ago, Dr. Tomkins published research papers on this subject, concluding the similarity between chimps and humans was only about 85%.7,8 These latest results in Nature have affirmed and vindicated his earlier work.
Tomkins’ detailed research into published evolutionary studies in chimp-human DNA comparisons demonstrated that the 98%–99% similarity was obtained by cherry picking genomic data known to be highly similar.9 And as early as 2018, Dr. Tomkins’s DNA comparison research results were confirmed by a conventional researcher using a completely different method,10 but these results were never picked up by mainstream science—that is until now!
One may naively think the conventional researchers who toppled this evolutionary icon would be shouting it from the rooftops, as it were. But instead, the authors seem to have buried this important result in the paper’s supplementary material.2 It is obviously embarrassing for evolutionists to be forced to admit that this textbook dogma was so badly in error and that—the horror!—a biblical young-Earth creationist was correct.
Some evolutionists may try to spin this new dissimilarity estimate to be no big deal. But evolutionists for decades have used this alleged 1%–2% similarity as strong evidence that humans and chimps share a common ancestor. And if it isn’t a big deal, then why the reluctance in acknowledging it? Why did Nature place this result in supplementary tables?2
The story of human evolution is rapidly unraveling on multiple fronts. Through copious documentation in their three most recent Evolution: The Grand Experiment books, Dr. Carl Werner and his wife Debbie have exposed enormous amounts of fraud and impropriety in the way evolutionary scientists have handled purported fossil evidence for human evolution.11–13 Even well-informed creationists may be surprised by what they have uncovered. ICR’s online bookstore (store.icr.org) carries resources explaining both Dr. Tomkins’ research and Dr. Werner’s.
At ICR we think this is a pretty big deal. Our science staff continues to lead the way on groundbreaking and big-picture research. Dr. Tomkins and our biology staff are currently conducting high-impact research on engineered biological systems, showing how biological adaptations are preprogrammed by our Lord Jesus and are not random. But it sure is nice to see conventional science finally catching up with us.

Did it look like red bruises? I get that often. Just a little bump and I bruise. Common for us older folks. He did sound like he had a cold though.
