EEK! It’s the End of the World 2008-09-07 00:07:23 Hey it has been real good blogging and talking to everyone here but it seems that it is all going to come to an end in just 3 days. On September 10th the Hadron Collider located under the French Swiss border will be, um, I suppose activated.
Does anybody know anything about this? You can share [...]

Guest Post (1) Christians are not stupid 2008-09-06 09:50:13 Christians are not stupid
Christians and other theists are not stupid. How do I know this? I’ve known some incredibly brilliant people, called many of them friends, who are Christians or some other sort of theist, plus I used to be one. Too many atheists I’ve read, at least on the internet, write Christians off and [...]

Gott ist tot (God is dead) 2008-09-05 10:54:05 It is easy enough to criticize Nietzsche for his inconsistency and faulty logic. (How can we will life as it really is if there is no such thing as like or will—only interpretations of interpretations? If everything is a lie, then isn’t the claim that everything is a lie also a lie?) But [...]
Humidity, Peanuts and Hebrews 13:8 2008-09-05 10:09:46 Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
When I landed at Charleston’s airport the temperature was listed as 85 degrees. However, in South Carolina, the air is saturated with moisture… so the heat feels heavy and hot, and this water-logged “stuff” presses against your body and, movement slows, like walking through a mass [...]

Awake, awake with a new natural heart, a new spirit 2008-09-25 12:29:42 I will give them a new heart and put a new spirit

Pleasure in Sacrifice 2008-09-24 18:40:55 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of worship. Rom. 12:1
This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. [...]
The Workplace Prayer 2008-09-23 10:13:53 I found this inspiring prayer about a year ago. The author is
‘anonymous’ (no relation to me).
Lord Jesus, as I enter this workplace, I bring your presence with me. I speak your peace, Your grace, and Your perfect order into the atmosphere of my workplace.
I acknowledge Your Lordship over all that will be spoken, thought, decided [...]

This Week’s Quote (6) 2008-09-20 20:05:34 “We will not hearken to those questions which gender strife, nor discuss them at all.

This Week’s Quote (5) 2008-09-13 20:49:19 “One is forced to conclude that many scientists and technologists pay lip-service to Darwinian theory only because it supposedly excludes a creator”~Dr. Michael Walker, Senior Lecturer—Anthropology, Sydney University. Quadrant, October 1982, page 44.

Jesus was a community organizer? 2008-09-12 13:43:34 Jesus was a community
organizer?
Pontius Pilate was a governor.
I think this man forgot that:
That Stephan was a martyr
Paul was an apostle
John (the apostle) died of old age
Peter was rebuked… more than once
and what does this have to do with the presidential election?

Temple To Science A Contradiction? 2008-09-29 22:47:15 I think so.
Apparently an artist has taken some aesthetic steps towards what a “religious science” might look like by erecting “a temple for scientific worship” called the Atheon. But can anything like worship or even awe and contemplation be justified from a scientific worldview that sees the material universe as entirely explainable in [...]
