Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

🤪🤣🤪🤣
Bell bottom's are back too 😂
Don't laugh at me, I actually liked bell bottoms, and they never gave me the blues! 😉😄 The 70's were so much fun!

lol. I like them too, this is my third time through them. Lol.
I probably still have some originals tucked away, right next to the paisley puffy shirts! 🤣
C. H. Spurgeon's Evening Reading (March 20th)
"And she did eat, and was sufficed, and left." — Ruth 2:14
Whenever we are privileged to eat of the bread which Jesus gives, we are, like Ruth, satisfied with the full and sweet repast. When Jesus is the host no guest goes empty from the table. Our head is satisfied with the precious truth which Christ reveals; our heart is content with Jesus, as the altogether lovely object of affection; our hope is satisfied, for whom have we in heaven but Jesus? and our desire is satiated, for what can we wish for more than "to know Christ and to be found in Him"? Jesus fills our conscience till it is at perfect peace; our judgment with persuasion of the certainty of His teachings; our memory with recollections of what He has done, and our imagination with the prospects of what He is yet to do. As Ruth was "sufficed, and left," so is it with us. We have had deep draughts; we have thought that we could take in all of Christ; but when we have done our best we have had to leave a vast remainder. We have sat at the table of the Lord's love, and said, "Nothing but the infinite can ever satisfy me; I am such a great sinner that I must have infinite merit to wash my sin away;" but we have had our sin removed, and found that there was merit to spare; we have had our hunger relieved at the feast of sacred love, and found that there was a redundance of spiritual meat remaining. There are certain sweet things in the Word of God which we have not enjoyed yet, and which we are obliged to leave for awhile; for we are like the disciples to whom Jesus said, "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now." Yes, there are graces to which we have not attained; places of fellowship nearer to Christ which we have not reached; and heights of communion which our feet have not climbed. At every banquet of love there are many baskets of fragments left. Let us magnify the liberality of our glorious Boaz.
Was meditating on grace yesterday, and how it's not about pretty or able to balance a book on the head. Even (especially?) the ugly can experience grace.
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

Plants Rely on Quantum Mechanics BY FRANK SHERWIN, D.SC. (HON.) * | THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 2025 https://www.icr.org/article/plants-rely-on-quantum-mechanics/ Scientists will probably never fully understand photosynthesis as additional research uncovers even more fascinating mysteries.1,2 ICR’s Dr. Jeffery Tomkins gives an overview of this incredible biochemical procedure:
Photosynthesis is a highly complex process in plants that produces carbohydrates from water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight using a light-to-electron energy conversion process that operates at near-perfect levels of quantum efficiency. The light energy harvesting process to fuel this amazing system starts with the absorption of sunlight. In the machinery of the plant cell, the light-based energy is rapidly transferred from a specialized antenna network to a reaction center, where a charge transfer process converts photon-based light energy into electrochemical energy.3
Now, the mysterious field of quantum mechanics4 has been discovered to be another part of the equally enigmatic transformation of light energy into life energy.5 Science writer Eric Ralls stated recently in an article on Earth.com,
When sunlight streams onto a leaf, something remarkable happens. Energy from those rays flows through molecular pathways with an efficiency that has sparked curiosity for generations....Researchers around the world are intrigued because these plants seem to tap into the puzzling principles of quantum mechanics to manage light energy with hardly any losses.6
Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that investigates the behavior of light and matter at the atomic and subatomic levels. In 2010, biologist Brian Thomas, Ph.D., described quantum mechanics in lowly algae.
Experiments have shown that light, as well as electrons, can travel along two wave-like paths at the same time and yet arrive at the same place. In quantum-speak, these paths are said to exist in “coherence.”
Scientists have measured the control of light in coherence by a protein that is involved in photosynthesis. Certain proteins with molecular “antennae” are structured to capture and transfer light energy. When combined with a host of nearby as well as faraway protein machines, they use this energy to build the chemicals on which all other living things depend.7
Now another quantum mechanical phenomenon has been found in plants: “There is a concept known as a superposition where energy or particles overlap in multiple possible states. It sounds futuristic, yet plants have harnessed it for billions of years to maximize their solar intake.”6 (Notice evolutionists admit to how advanced and high-tech such a process is, but they must nonetheless see it in terms of purely random events and deep evolutionary time.) Professor Hauer, from Technical University Munich (TUM), explains, “When light is absorbed in a leaf, for example, the electronic excitation energy is distributed over several states of each excited chlorophyll molecule; this is called a superposition of excited states.”6
But this energy must be kept from leaking away. This has driven scientists to investigate something called fast relaxation steps that keeps the energy flow from decreasing, “These fast steps include a balance of vibrations, state couplings, and energy release in the form of heat.”6
Are these fast steps (not to mention superposition and a protein controlling coherence) really the result of chance, natural processes, and deep time?
It should be noted that brilliant scientists using sophisticated equipment and having millions of dollars in research grants are peering into the subatomic realm to copy what supposedly blind chance (“Nature”) has done. Once determined, they will apply the quantum mechanical discoveries to electrical technology to improve efficiency. One scientist from TUM stated, “Applying these findings in the design of artificial photosynthesis units could help to utilize solar energy with unprecedented efficiency for electricity generation or photochemistry.”6
But like it or not, the scientists are copying what God—not evolution—has designed in the beginning. The apostle Paul addressed this misplaced emulation when he stated,
Because, although they [i.e., all humans who suppress the truth of God in unrighteousness] knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals, and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness....And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind.8
