I’m hugely disappointed because of the dystopia that will befall us over the next few years.
But deep down, part of me just wanted to be right. I wanted that reassurance for myself. I wanted to blast away on social media for everyone to see that, “I was right! I’m not crazy. So give me kudos.” Or something similar.
I believe we will win. Good and God will win. We just have more to slog through than I had hoped. Keep your red pill canons firing!
Thank you for your input! I'm half Swedish :) When you look at the complexities of the universe, and in particular, the unique and virtually impossible assemblage of life and land on Earth, and in very particular, the complexities of living cells, how do you explain it scientifically? I'm a PhD scientist and the more I learn of the natural world, the more I'm convinced we are here because God put us here. The "Big Bang" theory is so utterly ridiculous, it's laughable, and I'm amazed that so many people fall for it.
Thanks for your comment!
I'm not a scientist by any means, so your questions you ask me is beyond my capabilities to even answer—I simply don't know. Probably not even 1% of it.
But I do like to say that improbability doesn't make the other impossible, and I'd like to believe that we have discovered more through science in our life as humans compared to what religion has offered us—not saying religion has not offered us great values as humans. Otherwise, religion has been very stagnant, and only fit itself into the narrative after correcting itself after scientific research and revelation.
However, I do find religion fascinating that it's so incredible similar all over the world and has been for a very long time. People across the globe share similar beliefs, scripts and texts despite being a whole world apart and no known person in between them to share it.
I thought I was an atheist until I turned 30. I met my Christian wife and eventually accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. When I had previously read the Bible, I thought it was ridiculous, but I have now read through it, cover to cover, over 12 times and am still amazed at things that I notice seemingly for the first time, and how thoroughly it explains the history of man on Earth. Unfortunately, if you are not a Christian, the Bible can seem foolish, but I invite you to read the Gospel of John in the New Testament, and see if you become interested in what you read.
I should take my time and read through the important parts of the Bible to understand it better, definitely.
And of the first four books of the New Testament is a good start, but I think John is the best (but that might be because it's a little deeper than the others; the book of Mathew was written by a tax collector and is more of a straight record of the life of Jesus) Aside from the Bible, a really good book that virtually proves Jesus is who He said he was, is Lee Strobel's "The Case For Christ", which I just saw had been made into a movie in 1917 (Google is good sometimes :) ).
I couldn’t agree with you more, PhDinNY. I too am 1/2 Swedish, my grandparents on my mothers side immigrated from Sweden. My other half is Irish and English. Although, I identify more with my Irish blood.
After I graduated college I set out to study the Bible. I wanted to spend as much time studying the Bible as I had studying a lot of worthless garbage while in college. I found a lot more wisdom and knowledge in the Bible than I did in college and that’s the truth.
What kind of scientist? What research do you do?
I have BS and MS degrees in Geology, and PhD in Marine Science. Any more info would easily vox me, because the area of research I was involved with (I'm now retired) only had a few dozen people in the world doing it. Now I'm enjoying woodworking, acrylic painting, and fused glass (that actually makes it easy to i.d. me by people who are vaguely familiar with me, but they likely wouldn't be reading through posts on GAW :) )
That is a very interesting and eclectic set of degrees. Don’t worry, not going to try to doxx you. Very cool hobbies. You should post some of your art some time
Hopefully, we are close to being at a time when it is the leftists who need to be worried about being identified online :)
