Getting Back On Track

   Once there was a man that started to write. He began to get more and more busy until he could write no longer. He forgot about his dream. Then one day he remembered what it used to feel like to dream, and recalls a very specific dream indeed. A dream that could change the landscape of other dreams to come. And so he writes on...

   Hey everyone I know that it has been a long time. I don't want to forget my dreams anymore. I am back at writing and I am looking to publish that novel in ruffly one year. I don't want to give up on this one. I really think that I have a story that could change the landscape of science fiction as we know it. Or at least as I understand it.

I will be writing and asking questions. Asking for your opinions. And it is my hope that you will answer and continue to help me reach this goal. If you like sci-fi, or have friends that do I would love to hear from you. Please hit the follow button on Google+ and subscribe to this blog. Ideas, your books, feedback, whatever you would like.

I look forward to hearing from you friends. I will be talking to you soon.

As Concerns Evolution and Giraffes

   As I was going through some #sciencesunday posts today I found video of a well known scientist and a few others that were dissecting a giraffe. As they were pointing out in the video a point about a certain nerve, the recurrent laryngeal, that can be found in many mammals, I thought that it was interesting that it was said:

"Its a beautiful example of historical legacy as opposed to design."

"This is not an "intelligent design"."

Does an intelligent creator need to be bound to a certain way of thinking? Do humans always build homes that are the most efficient? Or do they also build homes that they enjoy living in, or looking at? What makes scientists think that the creator didn't create what he wanted to create? Do they think that he was bound by some laws? Perhaps the laws they create for him? I think not.

This argument is not one of logic, or even one that has really been thought through. As many of them are, it is a quick effort to make an intelligent creator, and those who believe in him, feel stupid. Should we feel stupid? Most definitely not!

When these posts raise up from the woodwork, atheists with their banners, remain logical like Jesus himself was. Like Paul was! Talk to people one on one. Don't go into a room of Atheists just to start an argument with them. Perhaps a personal email or message would be more effective in teaching.

Teaching in a public domain is much different than it was in Paul's day. Many scientist are as the enemies of Jesus time, very well educated but not in faith. They were versed in the absolution of the law, but not the facts of faith and principle.

Faith is, in fact, one of the most logical things there is. When we are buying a car and we sign a registration form we have faith that that form represents a fact of ownership for us. Should the situation arise we could even present it as "proof" right. Then faith becomes fact. Something we use and see everyday.

Without rambling much more I will conclude by reinforcing that we, as Christians, do not need to fight and argue with anyone. Seek out those willing to be teachable and reasonable; and remember to "take your leave" should the need arise.

Preview Release: The Infinity Exodus

 


   So I have officially gotten tired of not being able to make progress on my book. I love to write and I think that I am pretty good at it, but I need some outside help here in order to keep going. So I have officially decided to release a preview of my book next weekend. It will contain the first published synopsis and the first 2 chapters of my book.

   I look forward to as many of your opinions as possible. I have never really had that much success with my online communications. Not for a lack of trying of course. Well there it is.

Talk to you soon all.

#Nottheplace

   So I have been going over G+ tonight and I happened to see a post by a popular actor who was making a quip about himself accidently falling asleep in a recent interview. I found it amusing but that is kind of besides the point. For, as you see, a certain man that happened to be commenting on this post thought that this would be a good time to start talking about Jesus.

   The man that was commenting didn't sight one scripture, and only took into account the parts of the scriptures that HE wanted to. Completely ignoring the scripture at Ecl.3:1,7

"For everything there is an appointed time, even a time for every affair under the heavens,...; a time to keep quiet and a time to speak"

Many times recently I have found that people use, what they believe to be, God's will as an excuse to say the words and thoughts that are in THEIR heart, not necessarily in God's.

All of this though is simply a side point, I am not meaning to make this about religion but I am trying to spread the use of the hashtag in the title for the simple purpose of making a point. The point that people should just go off on a rant every time that they have some incomplete thought.

If you want to be taken seriously and want respect for what it is that you are saying you can't just start spouting off words like each one is made of gold. Speak as though you are hoping to teach something. Use tact and don't be openly argumentative .

Please spread the hashtag around and perhaps we can put an end to some of the word vomit that has been coming out of the web in recent times.
