La disparition des dinosaures, il y a 65 millions d'années, peut-elle encore être considérée comme l'un des grands mystères de…
l'histoire du monde vivant ? Tout porte à croire aujourd'hui qu'ils ont été, de même que bien d'autres espèces, les victimes d'une catastrophe écologique mondiale provoquée par la collision avec la Terre, à la limite Crétacé-Tertiaire, d'une énorme météorite. La mise en évidence de cet impact et de ses conséquences sur la biosphère nous conduit à réfléchir sur le rôle des catastrophes, cosmiques ou autres, dans l'histoire de notre planète et de ses habitants. La question de l'extinction des espèces se pose en effet aux paléontologues depuis plus de deux siècles. Des révolutions du globe de Cuvier à la concurrence vitale de Darwin en passant par la dégénérescence et la sénilité raciale, les réponses qu'ils ont tenté d'y apporter n'ont pas manqué. Ce n'est que depuis une vingtaine d'années, grâce notamment aux recherches sur la fin des dinosaures, que le concept d'extinction en masse - qui suppose de grandes crises ayant décimé le monde vivant et infléchi son évolution - s'est imposé. Ainsi, l'histoire de la vie n'est pas un long fleuve tranquille. Son cours a été altéré brutalement, à plusieurs reprises, par des événements catastrophiques qui ont anéanti d'innombrables espèces. Mais le monde que nous connaissons n'a-t-il pas justement été modelé par ces catastrophes ?By Annelies Wilder-Smith, Einar P Wilder-Smith. 2010

Charles Mulli was abused by his father and abandoned by his family. Forced to beg from hut to hut in…
Kenya to survive, Mulli worked his way out of poverty and became a wealthy businessman, but never forgot the struggle of street children. Hearing the call of God, Mulli sold everything he owned and began rescuing street children from the slums of Kenya and gave them a home at Mully Children's Family. His journey of faith challenged him to trust Christ in desperate times, confront evil forces and believe in God for even greater miracles of healing and deliverance. And in the wake of the postelection violence that recently shook Kenya to its core, Mulli risked everything to follow the call of Christ and to bring hope to the hopeless. Sequel to "Father to the Fatherless". 2012.By Sylvia Funston. 2008
