Amazed by People

Every day I discover new things that amaze me. While I am amazed by the universe and astonished by the technology we possess, I am particularly enthralled by the power of the human mind as it reflects its Creator. The things we are able to see, discover, imagine, and build demonstrate to me the diversity of thought and immensity of creativity imprinted upon us by our Maker. Enjoy!

We No Longer Need You

One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one scientist to go tell Him they were done with him. The scientist walked up to God and said, "God we've decided that we no longer need you. We're to the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous things, so why don't you just go on and get lost."
God listened very patiently and kindly to the man and after the scientist was done talking, God said, "Very well. How about this. Let's say we have a man-making contest." To which the scientist replied, "OK. Great!"
But God added, "Now we're going to do this just like I did back in the old days with Adam."
The scientist said, "Sure; no problem," and bent down to grab a handful of dirt.
God just looked at him and said, "No, no, no. You go get your own dirt."

Normally I wouldn't be pushing something like this, but I think it is important for our society on a fundamental level. It opened yesterday. LINK BELOW.

Seeing The Invisible

This is another funny picture...at least it made me laugh! The irony of it is just humorous. However, it makes me think of an important truth. When was the last time you thought of the invisible: that which you cannot see?

There are a lot of different beliefs out there about God and death and the afterlife. These are beliefs about Someone and some things that we cannot see. Whether you believe in them or not is really a position of choice because neither the atheist nor the Christian can unequivocally prove 100% his position.

While logic and science can demonstrate much, they are limited to the finite reach of the human mind. Thus faith is required whichever position one might hold. That faith is in something invisible, intangible. Every moment of living is staked on one's belief. That makes it pretty important to consider the invisible and be as certain as possible about the outcome.

I believe in an invisible all-powerful God. I have done much thinking and considered many positions. I have read many books and talked with many people. In the end, I have staked my living and afterlife on that belief. On what do you stake yours?

Some good books to read about this line of thinking:
