Whew!!!

1. Genesis 1-3-The Creation and the Fall never cease to praise God. The command to fill the Earth with children is good and right. Population control is a policy of the Adversary. I revisit the idea of Evolution and never cease to be amazed that anyone could believe such rubbish.
   “The time has come for a fresh look at the evidence Charles Darwin used to support his evolutionary theory, along with the great mass of new scientific information. Those who have the courage to penetrate through the haze of assumptions which surrounds the question of the origin of life will discover that science presents substantial evidence that creation best explains the origin of life. Four considerations lead to this conclusion. 1. Life is unique. 2. Complex animals appeared suddenly. 3. Change in the past has been limited. 4. Change in the present is limited. Anyone interested in truth must seriously consider these points. The challenge they present to the theory of evolution has led many intelligent and honest men of science now living to reevaluate their beliefs about the origin of life.” (Coffin, Creation: The Evidence from Science, p. [1].) “Scientists who study fossils have discovered another interesting piece of information. Not only did complicated animals appear suddenly in the lower Cambrian rocks, but the basic forms of animals have not changed much since then. . . . To put it more plainly, this is the problem of the missing links. It is not a case of one missing link. It is not even a case of many missing links. Evolutionists are confronted with the problem of whole sections of the chain of life missing..." [ The Evolution of Life, p. 149.]
2. “Of Truth” by Francis Bacon-Like Dr. J. the quote liars are strange people; they’re unwilling to present the truth to men, but are willing to flout God’s command gave me lots to think about. 
3. “The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg” by Mark Twain Whenever pride and self-righteousness elevates one's idea of themselves above others, they are in trouble. Hadleyburg turned out to be anything but honest well before the incident.
4. The English Bill of Rights-It's amazing how much this points to the Declaration of Independence. The English sure were a bunch of reformers. That's not a bad thing if reform means liberty.
5. “My First Play” by Charles Lamb-Now I know why he wrote Tales From Shakespeare with his sister. He loved Shakespeare, which is easy to love. After recently finishing up the raising of a large family, I recognize the progression of childlike wonder to youthful apathy.
6. “The March to the Sea” by Xenophon-The more I read history, the less I understand war. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone stayed home and worked their trade or land? Wouldn't it be nice if we all minded our own business and left others to mind theirs?
7. “The Sacred Beetle” by Jean-Henri Fabre Everything I've read by Fabre has been this good and this captivating. I love nature in part because of Natural Scientists like him. 
8. Love studying music and art but won't report on them.
