FASTER THAN LIGHT NEUTRINOS reported in BBC News, ABC News in Science, and arXiv 23 September 2011 and Science Live Chat 28 September 2011 (and other sources too numerous to mention). Neutrinos are subatomic particles that have such a miniscule mass they have been called “ghost particles”. Over the last three years scientists at CERN, near Geneva in Switzerland have fired bursts of neutrinos towards a particle detector 732km (455 miles) away in the Gran Sasso National Laboratory near L’Aquila, Italy and found they arrived 60 nanoseconds faster than if they had travelled at the speed of light. According to Einstein’s theories, nothing can go faster than the speed of light, but after 16,000 measurements the research team concluded their results were real, and not experimental error.

Surely God could have used any time he wanted?

This answer is by Creation Research Director John Mackay. – If you have any questions regarding Creation you can get the answer irect from Jon by going to his new web site Ask John Mackay.com

Did you notice the question was not “what are the days?”, but why only 6 of them and not 600 or 6,000,000? It’s not a question we have ever had before so thank you to the ‘Asker’ for a real first.

Sebastian Steinzen, 34, from Gladbeck, spent five years trying to find Patrick Burns to repay a wager he lost during a game of golf. The pair met whilst on holiday with their families in Majorca back in 2005. During the holiday, Mr Steinzen and Pat placed a bet worth a pint of beer on how close they could get the ball to the flag. Unfortunately, the German didn’t get a chance to pay up and has carried a five-year burden of guilt until now.

Swim while you’re Winning
A 61-year-old woman has set off on a 103 mile swim from Cuba to Florida in shark-infested waters.
US swimmer Diana Nyad is hopeful to claim a world record more than 30 years after her first attempt was compromised by dangerously heavy waves.

Though the same swim was completed by Australian Susan Maroney in May 1997, Nyad will attempt the swim without a shark cage.
Before setting off, she said: “I’m standing here in the prime of my life. Now I look out at dead, flat calm waters, so I think this is my day.”
