Reading a Few Books

Hi There . . Creation Chick here! just reading a couple new books . . still in the middle of it . . but I'll be sure to fill everyone in when I get the opportunity to . . . I'll be sure to give everyone a synopsis when I get a chance . . . . One of the books I'm reading is about Darwin and how he got his ideas . . and it IS fascinating . . . I will be sure to give a synopsis of it on this blog when I am done.

some great quotes from the greats . . ..

Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me.
-Immanuel Kant

A young man who wishes to remain a sound atheist cannot be too careful of his reading.
-C. S. Lewis

Vanity of science. Knowledge of physical science will not console me for ignorance of morality in time of affliction, but knowledge of morality will always console me for ignorance of physical science.
-Blaise Pascal

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but shall have everlasting life!
- The Bible (John 3:16)

God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
-C. S. Lewis

Christianity is the greatest intellectual system the mind of man has ever touched.
-Francis Schaeffer

A fair result can be obtained only by fully stating and balancing the facts and arguments on both sides of each question; and this is here impossible." - Charles Darwin, 1859,
Introduction to Origin of Species,

We know the truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart.
-Blaise Pascal

All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason.
-Immanuel Kant

What can I know? What ought I to do? What can I hope?
-Immanuel Kant

There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him.
-Blaise Pascal

Thus so wretched is man that he would weary even without any cause for weariness... and so frivolous is he that, though full of a thousand reasons for weariness, the least thing, such as playing billiards or hitting a ball, is sufficient enough to amuse him.
Blaise Pascal

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.
-Blaise Pascal

Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck.
-Immanuel Kant

Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.
-C. S. Lewis

Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.
Immanuel Kant

Nothing is divine but what is agreeable to reason.
Immanuel Kant

Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant

Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them.
Immanuel Kant

So act that your principle of action might safely be made a law for the whole world.
Immanuel Kant

The only objects of practical reason are therefore those of good and evil. For by the former is meant an object necessarily desired according to a principle of reason; by the latter one necessarily shunned, also according to a principle of reason.
-Immanuel Kant

About the Dinosaurs Past and Present YouTube Vid

This video starts out with various pictures of dinosaurs depicted in ancient cultures around the globe . . . According to evolutionists the world has been around for billions of years and there was supposedly a time where dinosaurs completely died out . . which may or may not be true . . . after which the climate was supposedly better for mammals to develop into greater and more diverse and advanced species such as primates and humans . . . . so according to evolutionists . . humans and dinosaurs did not co-exist . . . just getting that out there . . . and thus making us 'a little higher than the other primates'. . . which is quite different than our God given purpose to be caretakers of the earth that God has created for us .. . and that one day we will be a rulers of even the angelic hosts. Could it be that what some of the stories about the flood and creation that many of us have scoffed at and turned our backs on after Sunday School days . . . could it be that perhaps these turn of events . . the evidence for water covering the earth . . the evidence that the earth was much different at one time (before the flood) and the weird coincidence that no human history goes back past 10,000 years at the most . . some not past even believe 6 or 4 thousand . . . is it not strange that every culture has their own flood story . . and is it not strange that the sea creatures sinking to the bottom of the ocean . . are presumed to be less evolved and supposedly part of some ancient layer that indicates a particular period of time when those creatures were prevalent . . . even though no one attempts to point out that in a worldwide flood these creatures would have been the first to settle at the bottom of the ocean . . . that that layers of dirt automatically settle in water depending on their density . . I mean come on! so according to evolution each time period had a distinct type of dirt and animals living there . . and somehow . . kept changing like that . . . umm . . oh yah . . gradually . . so why aren't the dirt layers gradual? . . get real! stop making stuff up just because you don't like morality . . the truth hurts - get over it! so why is it don't we have detailed history before so many thousands of years . . and why do some human artifacts date by even evolutionary carbon dating methods go back to millions of years before humans ever even existed or "evolved" what I am saying is . . . there is a great mystery out there and the answer to life's existence is not as depressing and naturalistic as one might first be brainwashed from television, media, and of course . . good old public schools to believe . . . maybe there is a reason . . why people look on virtues such as kindness . . courage . . loyalty . . . mercy . . and strength of heart to be what truly matters instead of the animal instinct to hang on to as much stuff and control as much around us as we can . . . is there a reason that we have law and order . . where as in nature it seems to be just dog eat dog or "the fittest survive" . . . and is there a reason that the animal instinct tendency in social Darwinism does not seem to be helping us to have peace in society . . in our schools . . . in the world . . . . you realize that Hitler's main deal was about race purification . . . that he embraced Darwin's social philosophy whole heartedly . . and that he even used the phrase "evolution" many many times in his autobiography, but it was translated to a different word when it was translated into English . . hmm . .. I wonder why they did that . . could it be that no one wanted their secret to get out . . oh . .. and did you know that many of the social naturalist groups today such as the eugenics movement, planned parenthood, and others have ideas,principles and statements at the base of their organizations and organization leaders that are horrifying to read or hear about expendable older and weaker people and other heartless ideals. . . but that the public front of these organizations is embraced by so many uneducated people today . . and I don't mean "educated" in liberal brainwashing jargon . . I mean educated as in knowledge . . wisdom . . logic . . reason . . and being able to think for yourself about things . . . and I mean educated in being educated about what these groups . . these groups that have stemmed from evolution and have pierced our society with their ideals . . educated about what these groups actually believe and what their real agenda actually is . . yah . . you really think that a group that believes the fittest survive is here to HELP people? . . to be NICE to you? . . guess again! Even if you don't even believe in anything you are better off being around people who actually don't believe you are an expendable piece of stardust such an advanced brain that we have somehow created false ideas of grandeur concerning art music, philosophy, kindness, morality, religion, faith and God . . . my question is to you . . why would you even think about God . . if he doesn't exist . . why would you even care . . . and plus . . . don't most other mental disorders have a certain way that they work . . treatment pills . . usual symptoms . . etc . . why is religion so different? why is Christianity so different? . . could it be a sign to YOU? Could God be speaking to you right now? . . why not take the time . . just get on your knees . . close your eyes . . fold your hands . . and ask God to help you know if He is really there . . and if He is . . ask Him to save you and to include you in His family and in His plan . . . ask Him to show Himself to you . . . you will be very surprised at what may happen in the coming weeks, months, years . . or whatever time God has planned for you. . . . So as I have said . . there is a mystery . . the mystery is . . if God is real . . why doesn't he give us a sign . . Could the sign be that dinosaurs once walked with humans and that humans actually drew and carved the evidence for this in their art . . greater yet . . could dinosaurs still be alive today? . . . what a sign that would be . . but God does not have to prove Himself to us . .. He does not have any obligation to us . . We are His Creation . . and We are the ones who have turned our backs on Him . . but in His great mercy . . . . He gives us a way out . . He has given us Jesus Christ . . His only Son . . who was sent to earth . . mocked . . scorned .. . despised . . .tortured . . . . and killed brutally on display . . . because humans did not recognize Him as God . . . you see . . people have become sinful and proud ever since the fall . . . which is when Adam and Eve first disobeyed God and the decay of all of Creation began . . . the only things is . . God has done his own part . . he has made us a way that we can be redeemed . . if we have the faith to see that Jesus is Lord . . and that He in fact did come to die for our sins . . . and not as a 'poser' or a fraud . . as many who had their chance to believe when He was with us here on earth . . and as many people say about religion in general . . but that He is in fact the Son of God . . . . The Word become flesh, the Messiah . . the Christ . . . Lord of all Creation . . . one with God the Father and the Holy Spirit . . . that He is to be worshiped praised and confessed that He is Lord! And so . . . here and there . . actually every day . . and everywhere . . God has given us signs in His mercy . . though we rejected Him . . He still loves us . . and wants us to have communion with Him, and to be in His family . . to be called Children of God!. . . isn't that awesome?! . . . and we don't have to be the" fittest" to get in . . we just have to be ourselves and believe in Him . . that's all . . because in Genesis . . as God had created earth and everything in it . . including the plans for the future creation of individuals such as yourself . . He said . . . it was GOOD! God is perfect and He has created each of us perfectly for His will and His plan for our lives . . . . so there is no "fittest" in God's plan . . . . there is no lesser person . . there is no lesser gender . . there is no lesser race . . race is actually an evolutionary term . . . and without evolution we would never have ever distinguished people into groups like the repulsive groups that we have to fill out the bubble on forms now . . which is frankly rude, distasteful, absurd . . and detrimental to the unity of humanity . . we are all precious to God . . . and so anyone who says that Religion separates and judges people must only be talking about the human aspect of religion . . not God because He doesn't do that . . . so in some ways . . .we would say that the human part of tradition, values, and philosophy, as well as faith . . all coming together to make up what Religion essentially is . . well . . . there's only one Religion that I can think of that would be the most human oriented religion . . . and that would be social Darwinism . . the accepted Religion of the popular, the influential, the people who get ahead by the work of others . . . and yes . . "the fittest" So what people really mean when they say Religion is dangerous . . is that the only way they know is pride, ego, putting others down, manipulation, dishonesty and other traits that world deems clever and business savvy . . . what they really mean . . is that they don't want to play by the rules . . that they want to pretend there are different rules .. that they don't think God will notice what they are doing if they read, watch, or listen to enough Dawkins, Darwin, and Amazing Atheist voices playing over and over in their heads . . . . and convince themselves that maybe God is just not there or that if He is . . maybe He will go away . . . or maybe that somehow . . we His creation can argue that He hasn't done what WE needed Him to do . . whether it's a better life . . or a way to have faith in Him without being laughed at by society . . . hmmm . . some people even call this inconclusive evidence or improbable existence . . . there's nothing improbable about death, baby . . . and the question is . . where are you going? . . that's right I'm talking to you! do you know? . . do you care? . . do you think you should care? . . well the only dangerous thing I'm seeing about Religion is that it implies that there is a right and wrong to life . . which implies people are good and bad based on what they do . . . not their physical, and mental attributes . . . really which is better? But only God can change our hearts. And I will be held accountable as will every other Christian . . . as to . . did I let people know? . . . Did I tell the truth . . . so it is not Religion that is encouraging me to be divisive . . but it is my religion and my faith that urges me to encourage all people . . . even people who curse and swear at me . . . to be able to think for yourselves for once . . . and accept that truth . . that Christ is Risen . . that Christ has conquered sin and death . . . and that we are to follow Him to be saved. I was saved at the age of 5 years . . and it has brought unexpected turns in my life . . . but I know where I will go when I die . . . and I have a personal relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit . . . and though I believed by faith at a young age . . I am not afraid to stand up for what I know to be true! If you knew God . . and knew that He created the world and loves us all . . wouldn't you do the same thing I am . . . sometimes to have faith . . . you have to look for clues . . not in what people deem worthy. . . but what God deems worthy . . . the heart . . . . would God really play by the rules of His rebellious, fallen, prideful creation . . . No . . God never changes . . . He has always been . . and will always be . . . and He will always be waiting for you . . . . . to come into His arms . . . and to cast your cares upon Him and be saved.

God Bless You All . . . . may you discover truth, wisdom, insight, understanding, and find faith in Christ,
