gleemed from the cosmos

honestly, i have no idea what to suppose about this issue of climate change. are we a significant contributor? is it cyclical? i've seen graphs showing that carbon levels cause global warming, and then i've been shown that the warming actually precedes the carbon rises.

climate change skepticism is said to be evil, though in other areas my skepticism is encouraged. who can i trust? who should i believe about climate change? al gore? john stossel? give me a break! somebody just tell the… Continue

Mental abuse - Children are a special case - How can we defend them?

While talking with my little brother (Sophomore in high school) this evening I asked to see his Biology book. I grew up home schooled with the notorious A.C.E. (Accelerated Christian Education) curriculum so I should have been ready for what I saw.

- "Biology for Christian Schools" (Third Edition) by Thomas E. Porch and Brad R. Batdorf - 2005 BJU Press

Of all the disturbing things in this school book I've decided only to quote the opening to Chapter 8, The History of… Continue

WHEN DID "GOD" GET IN THE BUSINESS OF BLESSING PEOPLE WITH MONEY OR ASSOCIATED W/ MONEY?

To my knowledge when "God" created the earth there was no currency. I havent read the whole bible but the parts I read people bartered in exchange for goods or services. Currency and PHYSICAL money wasn't invented until modern (non-biblical) times

Long story short how did God's name get associated with money? You cant pick up an american coin or bill without seeing "In God we trust" Are humans THAT SELF IMPORTANT to think that a supernatural being would really care about a man made… Continue

First blog... ever.

So I definitely have opinions, although it wasn't until a couple years ago that I could actually back up all my thinking.

I come from a math family - both parents are mathematicians - and so naturally this is what I'm studying in college (Oregon State University). For those who haven't been exposed to it, math is alot like philosophy: ideas are postulated, definitions are presented, then logical conclusions are drawn. This way of thinking trickled down to all areas of my life. Logic,… Continue

I Don't Know!

I Don’t Know!

I don’t know all the answers. No human does; that is why I keep asking the hard questions. My blog’s on diet certainly caused a storm of debate. The evidence that I found on animal and human physiology appeared to be very clear on comparative anatomy of carnivores and herbivores. From "The Comparative Anatomy of Eating", by Milton R. Mills, MD. When examining the jaw and teeth structures, chemical analysis of saliva digestive enzymes, intestinal length, stomach… Continue

Study: Man creates God in his own image

U.S. researchers conclude that on important (and controversial) matters, people project their own beliefs on those attributed to God, New Scientist reports.

"Intuiting God's beliefs on important issues may not produce an independent guide, but may instead serve as an echo chamber to validate and justify one's own beliefs," writes a team led by Nicholas Epley of the University of Chicago.

"The experiments in which we manipulate people's own beliefs are the most… Continue
