I think that’s the reason this ranch has stayed together.” Born in Hillingdon, Middle- sex, England, in 1853, Alfred Giles immigrated to San An- tonio in 1873. An architect by trade, he established his own fi rm and became well known for his work, designing well over 90 buildings in Texas and Mexico. In particular, he designed many courthouses in places such as San Antonio, Kerrville, Bandera, Fredericks- burg, Seguin, Floresville, Marfa, El Paso, Junction and Boerne. HE SELLS! HE SELLS!

Although this nation was founded on the basis that our freedom and rights came from God and not from kings or gov- ernments, today God has been removed from the conversation. For over a hundred years God was taught in schools and the Darwinian concept of evolution was not permitted. This changed in the 20th century after the Scopes trial and the movie that portrayed Scopes as a hero and religious people as ignorant bigots. The pendulum began to swing back to a belief in God in the 1960s when Dr. Henry M. Morris began to publish books and articles supporting creation science and the belief that God created the universe in six days a few thousand years ago. The earth was located on one side of the planet with a water vapor atmosphere that supported longevity until a flood destroyed that ideal and replaced it with a harsher climate, solar radiation that shortened lifespans, and a later event that divided the earth into the continents. All air-breathing living things evolved from pairs that were saved from drowning on an ark. All animals and people have evolved from those pairs. Because these ideas were not supported by those who had accepted Darwin’s idea of life evolving from a mud puddle, creationists were not allowed to publish their scientifi c stud- ies in science journals and had to publish their own journals with their fi ndings that affi rm their beliefs. Education systems would not permit any teaching that departed from the Darwinian belief, and we are now divided into two camps. Creation scientists believe that God is still in control of His creation, especially the weather. Com- puter models of hurricanes are helpful in predicting their movement and how strong the winds will be, but no models can predict when a hurricane will form in the future. And, as we have seen, the models don’t predict accurately where they will strike or move inland. Page 6 Livestock Weekly November 2, 2017 bulls that don’t pass the exam second estrus.
