What About Horse Toe Evolution?
By Rebekah L. Holt
According to Darwin’s ideas on equine origins, the ancestor of the horse, millions of years ago, was a five-toed, fox-sized creature.1 Through random change, blind selection, and almost endless time, the original five toes fell by ones and twos, as the ancestors of the horse grew from rodent to equine.
Evolutionists teach that the hoof remains the sole toe of perfected horse evolution. The theory also proclaims that other existing parts of the leg, specifically the chestnut, the splint bones and the ergot, are all vestigial (leftover, useless) remains of horse evolution’s missing toes.
So what is the truth about horse toes? According to Genesis chapter 1, the equine kind2 was masterfully created on the sixth day. God in His skilful design made the equine and its foot like no other.
By studying each member of the ‘toe vestiges,’ we can discover fingerprints of the Divine Creator and gather evidence to refute Darwin’s false assumptions.

Animal Souls, Slaughter and the Bible
by Rebekah L. Holt
We may not have actual ‘golden calves’ in the western hemisphere, but animal worship is still prevalent today.
The inappropriate exaltation of animals first began, in a sense, in the Garden of Eden when Eve chose to believe the words of the serpent and disobey the commandment of God. Since the first sin, generations have willfully forgotten their Creator and worshiped the creature(s) instead (Romans 1:25).
Political efforts are winning the battle to ban the slaughter of horses in the USA. ‘Animal communicator’ is becoming a globally defined profession. Media sources suggest that animals have immortal souls and live in paradise after death. (See the sidebars about horse slaughter and animal psychics.)
Probably everyone has had some animal make life a little brighter. But not all of us want to address whether ‘good’ animals go to Heaven or not.
For Christian animal lovers, like myself, it can be confusing and difficult to ask the question:
Just what does the Bible say concerning man and animal coexistence here on earth and eternal life beyond?

Useless Horse Body Parts? No Way!
By Jonathan Sarfati, Ph.D.
Fast-running animals such as horses and camels are very energy-efficient. This is due to elastic tendons that stretch and recoil, enabling the animals to ‘bounce’ along the ground like a pogo stick. These long (60 cm, two ft) tendons spanning several joints are 93% efficient at returning the energy stored in their stretching.
