My blog

Hi everyone, this is my first attempt at blogging, please be patient with me. I have always been passionately interested in science and always been a committed Christian who believes in the creative power of God, and I honestly believe that the two are not mutually exclusive. I would like to use this blog to explore this relationship.

The Golden Ratio in the Human Body

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=085KSyQVb-U

I am baffled by mysteries such as the Golden Ratio, how it can be anywhere and everywhere, in sunflowers and seashells, but most especially in the human body.  How is it that this can be so prevalent and yet atheists can say that there is no God?  Of course there's a God.  God is everywhere, filling me with a sense of absolute wonder and amazement.  Mysteries abound.  Watch this amazing video.

No Arms No Legs No Worries

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciYk-UwqFKA&feature=related

Very inspirational video about a guy who is severely disabled but has complete faith in God and God's purpose for him.  Truly amazing and he's  happy!  I would have likely given up long ago. . .

in Christ Alone: Nick Vujicic

This dude has no arms and no legs.  But he has a faith in God that carries him through life and he figures out a way to do just about anything he wants.  He inspires me, absolutely and completely.

St. Augustine's thoughts about Creation

This takes some reading but it is probably worth it.  St. Augustine was a very wise theologian who lived centuries ago and definitely used his head for more than to keep his ears apart.  I do not profess to be as wise as he was but it seems obvious to me that the stories of Genesis are for the most part not to be taken literally.

Beautiful video.  A brilliant and spiritual entertainer entertains and involves the audience with a wonderful hymn.

Desiderata, by Max Ehrmann

http://www.sfheart.com/desiderata.html

These words are timeless and very important.  I believe they are every bit as important as for example The Lord's Prayer.  Well, maybe not quite that important. . .
