Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed

Oh WOW, how exciting! Ben Stein is coming out with a documentary in February 2008 about how american scientists have are discriminating against creationists. The movie is called “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.”

“…educators and scientists are being ridiculed, denied tenure and even fired — for the “crime” of merely believing that there might be evidence of “design” in nature, and that perhaps life is not just the result of accidental, random chance.”

Click on Ben Stein’s face to go to the website.Â You HAVE to at least see the Super Trailer found in the playground.

Well, I did it. I made a decision. I guess I am moving to Kansas City... In 2 weeks. Wow, how crazy!

My list of things to do:

Find a moving van (please be cheap)
Find a roommate in KC (any ideas friends?)
Pack
Find friends to load van
Spend most of a week with my parents
Get my last moments with good Indianapolis friends
All of the 3000 things that I can't think of right now

Note to self: Moving EVERY year is a bad idea. This makes 3 years in a row of moving 5+ hours away. I'm ready to settle down.

What I’ll Never Understand

I don’t think I’ll ever understand how my body lives on oxygen. I know we have learned a lot about how the human body works and some scientists can tell me all about how the body uses oxygen, but what in the world - how does a chemical keep me alive!?

I don’t think I’ll ever understand how the brain-mush in my head allows me to think.Â Blah blah, something about nerves and some other stuff.Â But that (obviously) is way above my comprehension.

I don’t think I’ll ever understand how a rainbow works. Yeah, it’s the result of a prism of something like that, and the colors get separated, but that doesn’t make sense in my mind - at all!

I don’t think I’ll understand how the internet works. Yes it is packets of information traveling from one computer to another, but there is still a mystery there to me.

I don’t think I’ll ever understand what Dark Matter is.Â Scientists seem pretty unsure as well.

There is so much more that I will never understand.Â But that is the way God intended it.Â Instead of figuring it all out I’m allowed to stand in awe at his awesome handy work.Â Gosh He knows what he isÂ doing!Â If He can figure all that out, certainly I can trust Him with my life.

Scarves and Candles

I’ve gotten three Christmas gifts this year, and I’m pretty happy about all of them (save one, but it’s one of those secret santa things so what can you expect?)

Gift number one: a cashmere scarf and cashmere lined gloves. Uhhh, now I know why girls think cashmere is so cool (at least I know that Elaine Bennis was a big fan)! I really have no clue how to wear a scarf though, as my picture shows - I promise I do it a little better in public, I have gotten compliments so I can’t be too far off. Actually, it’s confession time: I looked online on how to wear a scarf. It seems like it would be pretty simple, even kids seem to manage, but I just couldn’t figure it out, so I pulled up instructions.

Gift number two: A Cranberry Mandarin Candle - I never would have bought it for myself, but I’m really glad somebody else did, how wonderful! I’ve been sniffing it all day. Like seriously, ALL day, it’s been like an oxygen mask.

Gift number three was a plastic candy cane filled with 5 year old candy. Seriously, the candy was discolored and nasty, but thanks for the thought… And here’s my thought: anybody want a candy cane filled with deliciously aged candy? The bidding starts at $10…

Edit: Most of the gifts above were from my secret Santa at work. My secret Santa really was AWESOME! So I already told you about the candle and the candy cane, after that I received some Adidas after shave that smells wonderful, 2 pairs of business socks (I haven’t worn them yet, it must not be business time), a Christmas t-shirt (it says “Who’s Your Santa” hehe), and the movie Dumb and Dumber. How nice!

Could it be… SATAN?

This entry was originally published at eatfireâ€¢net

Last night I had the opportunity to spend some time with Moses.Â Moses is a homeless man who goes to the church by my house every Sunday.Â When asked if he knew Jesus, he surprised me by saying, “Oh, you mean Jeshua, the son of Elohim?”Â He then told me some of what he knew of the Bible, which was a heck of a lot.Â He could quote scripture accurately, and most of what he said fit in theologically (he did get in one tangent about how the Colts winning the Super Bowl was prophesied in scripture).

But then he said something that has stuck with me.Â He said that Jesus was not born on Christmas, which is totally true, Christmas is when we remember Jesus’ birth.Â Then he said that Christmas was a holiday designed by Satan.Â I asked him how the came to that conclusion.Â He told me that all over the world during Christmas there is a lie being told to our children and the 10 commandments tells us that lying is a sin.Â Since God will never help us to sin, Christmas must have been designed by Satan.Â Now, I don’t agree with what he says, but he does have something going there with lying to our children.Â I’m not sure how this revelation will affect family traditions, I still have more to think about… I welcome your thoughts.
