Week 6: Can Creation and Evolution Both Be Right?
Week 6: Can Creation and Evolution Both Be Right?: " Current YEC strategy is to fight for "equal time" in schools for the creation science treatment, with students debating the issue on scientific grounds.
Despite how it is sometimes portrayed, young-earth creationism is
----not the common interpretation throughout church history;
----not the common interpretation in all branches of the church and around the world.
Young Earth Creationism:
(Our analysis of the arguments is in italics.)
Scientific arguments:
--Attempted scientific proofs that the earth is young. (ex: the "shrinking sun") "

Meanings and Purposes of Life
Meanings and Purposes of Life: "Pascal, in the seventeenth century:
«When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity that lies before and after it, when I consider the little space I fill and I see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I rest frightened, and astonished, for there is no reason why I should be here rather than there. Why now rather than then?"

Tough Love is Underrated « FrumFind.org: "Game theory clearly shows that if a predictable response to a specific stimulus will always be the normal reaction, then the opponent will always use the very same tactic to gain the desired result."

Philosophy | The Writers' Cafe
Philosophy The Writers' Cafe: "If we take apart the concept of the spiral staircase we might first ask “Why not a ladder, instead of a staircase?”.
After all there are verses in our holy Torah that we relate to the vision that Yakov saw in a dream the well know idea of Jacob’s Ladder. The mefarshim (explainers of Torah) do a good job explaining how Jacob’s (Yakov’s) vision is about how neshomas (spirits or souls) are on different rungs of a ladder which goes up to heaven and back down to our world.
If I remember the explanation correctly Yakov could have stopped what ever he was doing right then and there and could have taken his place on the ladder. However Yakov did not do this for reasons which are beyond the scope of this piece.
In our own individual lives we are all somewhere on this great spiral staircase.
Life as we experience it is rarely just one straight and direct line from point A to point B. Perhaps if life was like that then perhaps life itself would not be so very interesting. I imagine one of my readers dropping his head into his hands at this point and saying to himself “interesting, that’s what you call my endless tsuris, struggles and aggravation, interesting!” yes exactly"

The Writers' Cafe
The Writers' Cafe: "Everybody was taliking about the economy in 2001. Everybody talks about the economy today. People knew about global warming and mandatory recyling laws were implemented. Today people know about global warming, but they do not really want to think about it. I have even heard talk radio hosts imply that global warming is not even really scientific."
