As I sit here my heart overflows with worship of my King as should yours be.
I’m reading this book for class called, Biology Through the Eyes of Faith, I would suggest it to anyone because it isn’t hard to read and it has a lot of good stuff in it about the Creation versus Evolution arguement as well as many other things that relate to modern day science. And no, not just the science that you have to have a college degree to understand but also the science that comes up in random debates and on the news. I’m not finished with my reading yet but I came across this one statement that I thought was Xanga worthy.
“Hold an open mind on these things for as long as possible, and when you come to a position, hold it tentatively, not like a bulldog but perhaps with the gentle bit of a retriever, willing to relinquish it when confronted by your Master’s word.”
This comment not only made me smile, it also challenged me because I have recently been accused of ignorantly holding to a position even when proved wrong. The “bulldog” in me normally won’t let anything go without a good fight, simply because I have been trained to fight for things even when I don’t understand them completely (public school). But God has really been challenging me in the area of the Creation controversy. I won’t go into all of it because I know all of you aren’t science buffs but we’ll just say that I’m beginning to wonder if Creation took only seven 24 hour days. And no, I haven’t lost my faith that God can do anything…I just know that it doesn’t line up with the avenues that God Himself gave us to figure out the earth and ultimately Him. And though science cannot explain the supernatural it is a tool that the Father gave us to understand and figure out as much as possible.
I’ll stop there just to keep from rambling and maybe even writing my whole paper on Xanga. But I do encourage you, go look it up. There is more to Creation than meets the eye. Form an opinion. Because as christians we are called to be knowledgable and to be ready to give an answer.

P.S. I have no idea who that artist is but I was listening to the rain and Jake’s guitar solo on the cd that he made me for my birthday when I was typing this up.
Eating My Way Through It 
*In the voice of a gay interior designer* I LIKE it…
I gotta get that cd!.. glad to see you like me
Jake
well, I was mostly talking about the cd I gave you.. the one that I actually still have in my possession? yeah, that one.. however, i think I shall now talk about what you’ve written… good good.. One of the classes I’m taking is Creation Science and though it gets boring at points, it’s really cool. a lot of facts that I didn’t know.. not that I’m about to go into it all or anything, but reading these books, most of the time I follow right along.. only some of the time do I get the sense that Dr Lindsay is stretching to find something in nothing.. but yeah.. as it is, I’m gonna go cause I’m tired, but hey. you take care of yourself, and I’m glad you’re enjoying your book and your cd.. very glad. I’ll talk to you later
goodnight Ashley, Jake
=) I know what you mean. I remember reading a couple little um, editorials or science-like write ups a while back that talked about the interwoven levels of detail that seem to repeat themselves over and over throughout creation, thinking then to myself “how in the world could this all be ‘chance’??” There ain’t no way. It’s just to orderly!! And as Psalm 145 reminds us our God IS awesome and we WILL talk of his marvelous works, and celebrate His miracles in our lives generation after generation. What a miracle this will BE when we can see the miracle of your learning this all and walking away with it ALL PAID for!! WOW!! Free classes full of books and professors who sewed into you, Dr. Amania, for all those years… and look how grateful you are already! You make the eyes of the Lord Jesus smile. You are precious.~beJeweled
yoooo. ‘Jon
