Well, I recently saw the movie Bridge to Terabithia and thought it was pretty good, except for one scene. On the way home from church, Leslie and Jesse talk about whether or not God requires people to believe in Him to go to Heaven. Leslie faithfully insists that a good God would not threaten His creation with an eternity in Hell.
Unfortunately it's not just a character in a book who thinks that. It has always been a mystery to me why Christianity has always been considered the "doom and gloom" religion, while we teach that the son of God Himself was wiling to die so obstinate, helpless people can be raised to the status of complete happiness and perfection for simply trusting Him. In fact, Christianity is what has given my own life an eternal, worthwhile goal when I began to consider the logic behind the faith. (That's not just something I heard from my pastor, by the way - I wrote that myself) If any of my readers can relate to that, from Christianity or any other belief, I'd love for you to comment. Thanks.

- In a world of selfishness and hidden religions such as "anti-conscientism" and neo-Darwinism, I'm here to speak the truth. I like using my computer, inventing, and researching the next big case made by evolutionists.

UPDATE: The World Wide Cobwebs: NotJustATheeory.com
Hello everyone. Today I have a bit of a retraction. Last year, I said that evolution was just a theory because a theory is an idea that is speculated but not proven. After doing some more research, I realized that today, a theory most often means an idea consistent with data that explains a law, and a law is an observation of a pattern in nature. So NotJustATheory.com was right about that.
But then it goes on to say that evolution is still a theory. With the definition they give, evolution may have been a theory back in Darwin's time, but it is definitely not a theory now. Science has grown, discoveries have been made, and evolution has been proven false. So evolution is not a theory.
PS: Sorry I haven't posted in so long. I'll try to keep posting regularly.

Ant Style
Hello again. Sorry I'm not writing about the healthcare bill, but I have another inteeresting topic: Ants.
Last week, my German class went on a field trip to the Amish village at Sugar Creek. They had a mural showing Amish history from Jesus to the present, but one picture that stuck out to me was one of an Amish village raising a barn.
That was when I thought of the ant that was described in the Bible: "6Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! 7It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, 8yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest." (Proverbs 6:6-8) If anyone has fully mastered this lifestyle, it is the Amish. When one needs a barn, they can help build it. When one needs food, they can share it. And they do it without anyone telling them to.
P.S. The Bible is proven once again! It has been Shown that most ants will spend all of their time collecting food and even risk their lives without any director or ruler of any kind. Even the queen does not oversee what they do.

Does anyone have a fast computer and POVRay v3.6 or higher? I made a source file that creates and animates a flagellum on a bacterium cell, but it would take a very long time (maybe months) to render on my computer.

oBOMBa care
WHAT IS GOING ON out there?!? After the 9-12 rallies and people screaming at the top of their lungs, the ObamaCare bill was still passed in the Senate! Sure, they took some things out, like the public option and abortion, but they are going too fight just that much harder too get it passed in the House. Then the government will be dramatically increased and control 1/6 of the economy.
I have a grandfather who suffers from kidney failure. The government has no reason to keep him alive.

Simple Facts to the Rescue... Again
Yes, it's been over a month, but I have something to show off again. It's another number, but instead of the chances that 1 molecule of DNA will form correctly by chance, it is the chances that 1 molecule of DNA and 1 molecule of RNA will form correctly by chance. It is 1 in:
Remember, this is only 1 molecule of DNA and 1 molecule of RNA, and it does not include the 2000 or more proteins that you would also need. And it's already almost 120000 digits long.

Operation Cyclops: Comment 3
"
Just read the review of your book. you are a pitiful and sad person. You need to believe in something other than your own pathetic mind. These ideas are poisoning the youth of today and leading them to suicide and moral depravitude. Anyway, I hope you know God loves you anyway.
"
Dawkins is one of THE most dangerous people in media and education. Personally, I'd rank him right up there with Eugenie Scott and the NCSE. And then again, how could evolution not make someone a pitiful and sad person? Speaking for myself, the idea that my life only lasted 70-80 years or so would start to get to me after a while. And now they're teaching KIDS these things?! Boy, our country has come a long way.

Here is the 2nd letter i found in the "Ugly" section:
"Atheism is a religion. You believe in science. You have beliefs. And Dawkins is your God. You have a soul. Scrape that atheist crud off of it and use it to get in touch with God. There is your evidence. You have to find it just like I did. God is within you. Your soul connects you to God!"
This is one of my favorites. How it ever found itself in the "Ugly" category, I don't know. This seems low even for Dawkins.

You wouldn't believe some of the emails I found on RichardDawkins.net. Dawkins labeled them "Ugly," but I found that some of them are very informative. Here is one.
"
Dawkins, you atheist piece of trash. You will twist any truth into athesit propaganda. I am sure this is another distortion of the truth to satisfy your atheist agenda. You may think you are nothing more than just future wormfood but I have life everlasting thanks to the saving grace of Jesus Christ!"
These aren't my words, so they may sound a little "harsh" for this blog, but he's got a good point. Check back tomorrow for another!

Back to School
Well, summer is ending, and for all you students and teachers out there it means there's alot of homework to do. I am fortunate enough to go to a private school this year, but I still remember going to one that wasn't exactly Christian. Just remember that even teachers can make mistakes, and even textbook writers can misinform you. Make this a year of clear thought and spiritual growth.

This one is just wrong. He doesn't submit good science, he has no argument for his harsh criticism toward Christians, he uses somewhat of a "two-party" system (the Bible vs. evolution), and considers religion anti-science. In reality, Benjamin Franklin and James Clerk Maxwell were devout Christians, Einstein was a deist, and Newton believed much of the Bible. They all made some very important discoveries. Even Darwin studied theology for a short time!
And then there are all of the discoveries from the viewpoint that animals were intelligently designed. These include more efficient windmills (based on whales), more efficient swimsuits (whale skin), and the helicopter (dragonflies).The bottom line: Religion supports science; it does not work against it.

Here's a Little Blog I Wrote ♪
Boy, is it a mess out there. Iran is rioting against their government, We came into a war unconstitutionally and we cannot get out, Israel and Palestine have been fighting for millennia, a man named Hussein is our president, we're spending fortunes on a faulty education system, we''re getting more and more dependent on black stuff that comes from dead trees...
And so the list goes on. I can't speak for you, but I'm going to a place where there's no pain, no disappointment, and probably no public school. (Yay!) The most important thing is not what we take out of the world: We'll die soon anyway. It is not what we leave behind: people won't be around to use it for long. The most important thing is for us to know our place.
I could use just about as many pages as I want proving logically that God exists, and maybe I will someday, but I can't make you believe. Without God, there is nobody to trust, nothing to prove and no reason to try. The choice is yours: You'll have to push the "Print" button yourself.

The World Wide Cobwebs: Evolution.Berkeley.edu
Oh, this is just too good: A 13-year-old at his home computer doubting the claims of Berkeley. The main problem with much of this site is that they use different definitions of evolution. The online Webster dictionary had 10 definitions for evolution, 2 of them as follows:
- a process of change in a certain direction
- a process in which the whole universe is a progression of interrelated phenomena
- A process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage); "the development of his ideas took many years"; "the evolution of Greek civilization"; "the slow development of her skill as a writer".
- The sequence of events involved in the evolutionary development of a species or taxonomic group of organisms.

The World Wide Cobwebs: NotJustATheory.com
First, take a look at the site:
In science, a theory is an idea supported by most of the evidence. However, it is impossible tfor theories to be higher than laws. Look at this diagram:
A > B > C
The ">" symbols only mean that A is a cause of B, which is a cause of C. They are all facts. Therefore, according to notjustatheory.com, C would be a law, and B would be the theory explaining it. However, A would also have to be a theory, and since theories explain laws, B would have to be a law. Therefore, B would have to be a theory and a law, and that does not happen.
The truth is that an idea, as long as it is valid (meaning it is not proven false), it is a theory. If it isc tested and shown to be true, it becomes a law. If it is disproven, it is just false.

Knowledge is Power: Restrict It!
Has anyone ever said to you that God cannot be part of science? They say that because you cannot see, smell, taste touch, or hear God, He isn't science. Let me now look at an analogy of atoms: We cannot see, smell, taste touch, or hear atoms, and yet we know that atoms exist. Why? Many experiments have been done that can only be explained if atoms exist. Some of you may want to mention the scanning tunneling microscope as seeing atoms. That can detect atoms by measuring electromagnetism, and it can be very useful, but it is still indirect.
Similarly, we can prove God (or at least a designer) indirectly, just as I did above, and in many other ways too. Check back often!

Welcome to the Oiligarchy
Have you ever wondered how a perfectly honest politician can turn so selfish? I have. Now, I think I have a bit of an idea.

This^^^ is the situation some CEOs and politicians are in: The money is a millimeter away from them and the "ethics freaks" and the environmentalists are telling them not to. Of course, that isn't an excuse to be selfish.

The Theory of Deevolution
Hello. Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile, but here it is: More evidence for creation. This is the best kind, because you can usually see it out your window or in your refrigerator:
Diversities among plants and animals.
You may have to do a little thinking for this one. Let's pretend the world was not intelligently designed. Therefore, animals evolved: If they need a longer tongue, they grow a longer tongue, and they survive. If their environment gets too cold, they move, and they survive. See the problem here? They change if their environment cannot suit them. But what about symbiosis? What about animals working together? For example, some small fish go into larger fishes' mouths to look for food. What kind of evolution would compel a fish to go into a bigger fish's mouth to look for food that it could find other places? What would compel that bigger fish, upon discovering a meal in its mouth, not to simply close it and get some food? The food that the smaller fish finds is stuck in the big fish's teeth. The small fish gets a meal and a ride. The big fish gets its teeth cleaned. They could both live without each other, and with evolution, they would.

Disregard the Evidence!
I have some very important news today: The best example I have ever found of relating intelligent design to Christianity.
I hope I have convinced you that many of his claims are not true. If not, I hope to publish some new posts soon that may make some good points. In the meantime, you can check out this site. It is a Christian site, but it has alot of good evidence for both intelligent design and
God.
 ...Nearly half the people in the United States don't believe in evolution. Not just any people but powerful people, people who should know better, people with too much influence over educational policy....We are here talking about the fact of evolution itself, a fact that is proved utterly beyond reasonable doubt. To claim equal time for creation science in biology classes is about as sensible as to claim equal time for the flat-earth theory in astronomy classes....It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that)....Ignorance is no crime in a country with strong local traditions of interference in the freedom of biology educators to teach the central theorem of their subject. ...I don't think it is too melodramatic to say that civilization is at war...against religious bigotry. In Britain recently our newspapers have shown crowds of fundamentalists (they happen to be Muslim rather than Christian, but in this context the distinction is of no importance) baying for the death of the distinguished novelist Salman Rushdie, displaying his effigy with its eyes put out and publicly burning his books. The truly appalling thing all such people have in common, whether they are incited to murder by ayatollahs or to less violent observances by television evangelists, is that they know, for certain, that their particular brand of revealed truth is absolute and needs no reasoned defense. In Iran I don't suppose evolution is even an issue, but in the United States a case can be made that it is right there on the front line.  -Richard Dawkins (quote images from richarddawkins.net) |

The Dark Side
Hello, everyone. I think I owe it to myself to have some free time on my blog--from all this Truth√ing--and to you, from reading all about proteins and DNA.
One more thing: I'm not making fun of anyone. Just a little computer design.

Merry Clausmas
Here we go again. It's nearly SantaClausmas again, and it's time to get ready for another season of irrelevant propaganda.
I'm sure some of you have taught your kids about Santa Claus and thought there was nothing wrong with that. But consider this: 80% of a child's brain has developed by age 3. Even after that, they are depending on their parents to teach them what is true and false. Even if you don't believe the Bible, like I do (No fallacies please!), the verse Philippians 4:8 applies here:
"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think abut such things."
Not only is that verse true, but we must also teach our children to do the same. Is Santa Claus true? Is the constant pressure to be perfect during the holidays lovely or admirable? Isn't it great that one of the Bible's commands is to think joyous thoughts?

Small to Big: DNA Weakens Evolution
Good day, everyone. Today, I have a little bit of evidence to share regarding the origin of life. First, I must inform you that all cells carry their genetic code in special molecules called DNA. You should also know that the simplest possible form of life would need at least a molecule of DNA and RNA to live, along with 250 or more complex proteins and many other things. One more thing: Keep in mind that water has a bit of a tendency to dissolve things like DNA, RNA, and proteins, so you would need billions of tons of DNA and RNA, and hundreds of billions of tons of complex proteins, among other components.
Anyway, back to my evidence. I have figured out the chance of ONE DNA molecule--Not a billion tons of molecules, but ONE DNA molecule--forming by chance (no intelligent design). It is 1 in:
NOTE: My original calculation was displayed in the background. It was incorrect.
