I suppose this should be called the Slacker Edition. I haven't really kept up since going on break. Wouldn't you know that when I returned, I would have religion on the brain?
Yesterday I called a friend of mine getting a Masters in design, and she was in the middle of a project. "If God didn't exist, he'd have to be invented" - it's not verbatim, but it's a quote from Voltaire. That was the concept she has for the project, and instead of greeting me by asking how I was, she asked what I would paint if I had that prompt.
After a few minutes shying away from doing it, she questioned my creativity and I spouted out that I would draw an apple falling from a tree. The start of science. When the revolution began for Isaac Newton. If God didn't exist, the falling apple would be his invention. I'm still thinking about that one.
I also wanted to say Merry Christmas for yesterday! January 7th, as we all know, is Christmas Day - for the Eastern Orthodox church. So Merry Christmas to all.
On the last random front, I read an amazing article that ties these two thoughts together. Science and the Birth of Christ. Two important things, I would say.
The question - Is virgin birth possible? The answer: yes. Don't worry though, the statistical impossibility of it all keeps the idea of it being a miracle pretty strongly intact. Read for yourself.
The Science of the Virgin Birth
A lot of thinking - not a lot of answers so far. Perhaps that's what January is for. Beginnings. Not conclusions.
