Transsexual advocates follow the course mapped out by their gay predecessors, advancing transsexualism through various media, the American Psychiatric Association, anti-discrimination laws, and the educational system. The predictable outcome is increased acceptance of transsexualism and intense pressure on those who dissent. The momentum of the transsexual movement challenges the church to articulate a biblical response to pro-transsexual arguments. The innateness argument states that transsexualism is inborn and unchangeable, and therefore God ordained. Christians can respond that, as likely inborn tendencies toward addiction or violence demonstrate, what is âinbornâ is not necessarily âGod ordained,â because human nature is tainted by original sin; further, they can respond that what one feels does not justify altering what one is.
In fact, these huge, lumbering beasts evolved from the tiny, mouse-sized mammals that survived the K/T Extinction 65 million years ago, and the first mammal even remotely recognizable as a primitive elephant didn't appear until five million years after the dinosaurs went kaput.
Dinosaurs walked the Earth for an incredible 165 million years. They first appeared in the late Triassic Period, before diversifying to dominate the planet, and become the largest land animals to have ever lived. However, 65 million years ago, the reign of the dinosaurs was to come to an abrupt end. An event so monumental occurred that it changed the shape of our planet forever. Evidence points to a giant asteroid which smashed into the Earth, leaving a crater nearly 200km wide.
