The Redefining of words by Atheistic Evolutionists.

Okay so were back again with my series on Creation vs Darwinian Evolution and Christianity vs Atheism. I hope you find my previous posts on these subjects very helpful and insightful. All tho not all Atheists/Darwinist will agree with me and they will be vocal about it. They will merely spit out aimless words and make accusations that are easily refuted or personal attacks. That is expected. Corner a dog and he comes out biting, that kind of idea. Well anyway, in this topic I wanted to discus "words" yes.."words". Words as we all know are powerful things. The bible says that power is in the tongue, words. The bible also says that the God created the heavens and stars, the earth and the universe with words. Words can bring people down or lift them up. You don't need brains or intelligence to say a word, but you do need intelligence to accurately define a word. The reason I feel this is a very important topic is because how words are used by Atheists/Darwinist. It is apparent that our education system is lacking here in the United States, our schools are still a hot bed, of violence and drug usage. It is a hot bed of intolerance. For example they call it tolerance when a homosexuality is permissible but when a student does not agree with homosexuality then that is considered intolerance. Yet, is it not intolerance to critisize the views of the one who believes that homosexuality is wrong? Yes. Because then one is not tolerant of that persons belief (Homosexuals are not a race of people)so it is not racist it is a choice. The point here is not homosexuality and my views on it, the point is the use of the word tolerant and intolerance. Words are used for peoples own personal purposes, and half of those are lies.


The redefining of words for the benefit of a lie.

As my debates went on I was mostly disturbed with the words used by Atheists/Darwinist, to subvert the truth and the words they used or what is known as obfuscation. As I have quoted before in my firsts posts and will go back to again. I have shown how Atheists/Darwinist redefine words for their own purpose. One must remember when debating an Atheist that it's not about truth with them. All tho they may claim that it is, the truth is..that it is not. It is about their own personal belief and the lengths they will go to, to validate those beliefs. Even if it's under the guise of science.

Let's look at the absurdity of Atheists/Darwinist. If you were to look up the word Evolutionist (Darwinian Evolutionist)in the dictionary you will find a definition.

ev⋅o⋅lu⋅tion⋅ist

a person who believes in or supports a theory of evolution

Now, what we do know is that the word "Evolutionist" is in fact a valid word. Atheists/Darwinist don't like that word and it is evident in the way they mock people for using that word. Here is an example of a Evolutionist replying to answers about the word on Answers.yahoo.com.

I'm a Vaccinationist who accepts the theory of flu shots.

Melting Media

Now, notice he doesn't really attempt to defend his stance he just mocks it. All tho the logic behind it is failed..he says "Vacccinationist" as an absurdity to show how illogical a Creationist is by using the word "Evolutionist" when I have just proven that the word Evolutionist is in fact a word with a definition, given by the dictionary. Yet, he tries to associate Evolutionist with the absurd word of Vaccinationist. When in fact while one has a definition and recognized as a true word, the other is not. See the lie? Let's look at another one.

No. It's amazing what ridiculous things creationists will think up.

Q (This is the persons screen name.)

Notice she used the word "Creationists" when in fact that is a true word. Yet, they believe that Evolutionists is not? See once again. As she so strongly accused.."It's amazing what ridiculous things creationists will think up." Ridiculous indeed. We don't redefine words for our sole purpose or to validate a lie.

I'll come back to more of these quotes later and you will see the hatred involved in some of these comments. It is a belittlement of those who believe in Creation. A hatred spewed by the Atheists/Darwinist messiah* Richard Dawkins.(*If I spelled messiah with a capitol "M" then that would refer to Christ. I used a lower case to describe a expected deliverer or a zealous leader of some cause or project.)


The illogical words of an illogical mind

I come to a previous example I gave before. Let's go back and take another look at them. In my debates, I had explained that the Universe consists of matter and energy and the response from the young lady I debated was .."The Universe does not consists of these things it contains them." Now, as I showed in my previous posts that the word consists and contains means the same thing. So in essence she told me that the Universe did not consists of matter and energy but it in fact consisted of them.

Here's another example of a friendly debate I had with an Atheists/Darwinist.
I had asked him..

Me:"So the big bang created the universe?"

Atheists:"The big bang theory does not explain the CREATION of the universe, just the DEVELOPMENT of the Universe with time."

Wait a second, doesn't development and creation mean the same thing?
Let's find out shall we?

Dictionary
cre⋅a⋅tion: production, development, formation.

Thesaurus
Main Entry: creation
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: DEVELOPMENT of entity

An entity is something that exists, living or none. Now, what he basically told me that "The big bang did not create the Universe but created it over time." Now, tell me something. Is that very logical at all? No, it is not. Atheists/Darwinist always fail to see where their logic repeatedly fails them. Why? Because they believe themselves to be the smartest people on the face of the earth. And that YOU the reader who believes in a creator, is not. Here is the evidence for that.

"Creationism is a conspiracy theory. A very absurd one. We should start treating it as such."
"Wise Duck" (That's his screen name wise duck absurd isn't it?)

"I've said it before, and I guess I'll say it again: CREATIONISTS ARE CRAZY!"
No Gods, No Masters (This person doesn't believe in free will,yet he exercises it by choosing freely to believe there is no God.) Remember.."The universe doesn't consists of these things it contains them." or "The big bang did not create the universe it developed it." Excuse me but, who are the crazy ones?


"Creationist are the kind of people who pick and choose what if fact and what is fiction."
Hugh H. Wait, we pick and choose what is fact and fiction? "The Universe doesn't consists of these things it contains them." Oh yes, we do indeed.(Sarcasm)

I would like to pick on this one for a minute because he flat out lies. He also states.
"On a side note, I am getting really tired of creationists claiming Einstein believed in creationism or that he was a Christian... stop spreading this lie, do some research and realize Einstein was no more a Christian than this Atheist!"

Einstein was a deist. That means he did believe in a creator but not a personal God.
Evidence-

"In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the support of such views."

"I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangements of the books, but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God."
Einstein.

So, for the sake of validating his belief that there is no God, and further attempting to validate it by ridiculing Creationists or those who believe in God, he also attempts to use Einstein to validate this belief. Remember, it's not about truth. It's about personal beliefs.

He adds at the very end this comment.
"Free your mind from man made gods!"

I agree, for the God I serve is not man made. The bible even warns us to "Stay away from Idols made of men." Why? Because those are man made gods. Now, he's under the misconception that God is man made, a created God. Because he thinks inside the box, and not outside. He thinks within his own world, what he can see...but not outside of it..for what he can't see. Since, he can't see it, he can't comprehend it nor understand it. That is the limit to his knowledge.

Now, you may wonder what this all has to do with words, well, everything I have written about has to do with words. They believed Einstein to be Atheists, and said it was a lie that he was a creationist, they used words to favor their position.


Atheists also like to say that were "Anti-science" Why? Because they believe science to be progress. Science is knowledge. When not all science is. What their doing is using the word "anti" to say that were against knowledge. That is not true at all, and they know it. But remember, they must validate to themselves that there is no God, so they use words like that to make them feel superior. Here's that same young lady "Q"

"I guess they figure it's easier for them to make stuff up than for them to try to understand complex ideas."

So, here's she saying what? That Creationists are indeed simple minded people. We don't understand complexity. Wait a second, Atheists, don't understand the spiritual world, nor comprehend outside of time and space. They can not comprehend that complexity comes from a complex mind, creation takes a creator. Yet, we don't understand in complex ideas? Not, a very logical statement is it? No.


"This conspiracy of elitists is rampant!"
"don"
They call us elitist, yet they fail to know their own history. I will discuss that in my "Dangers of Darwin" post later.


Remember when I mentioned to you the EVOLUTIONIST word? They believe there is no such word. Here's another example.

"I'm a gravity-ist myself."
"Phoenix under the pear tree"

Again as we see here, this one tries to associate the factual word Evolutionist with the absurdity of his word "Gravity-ist" Remember, evolutionist is an actual word, "Gravity-ist" is not.

Here's one that will get you, read it carefully.

"You know, if we weren't restricted by the limits of language, we could accomplish so much more."
"Warrior poo flinger" (Interesting name huh. And yet they claim to be more intelligent?)
Notice here he is saying that we should not limit their language so that they can accomplish more? Wait a second, were not limiting the language, were questioning the validity of the words they use. We want' factual truth, not words used for their own purpose and redefined for their own beliefs. So in other words what he's saying is, they don't want us to stop them from redefining words, because then they can't accomplish their agenda.

One last thing, 80% of the people who left these comments were under the age of 25. Their teaching your kids this in school. And their eating it up, like blind sheep.


Theory vs Scientific Theory..


Finally, I want to touch on the word that they so love to redefine, theory.
The dictionary gives many definitions of the word, so lets look at these.

Theory:
a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena.(Now, the word propositions is used here. Propositions means A plan suggested for acceptance; a proposal.) So they are suggestions, not facts.
Here's another definition of the word theory.
a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact. Remember, a PROPOSED explanation whose status is what? CONJECTURAL, meaning, speculative, theoretical, doubtful. So, no facts still, just assumptions. Right? Let's keep going.
More of the definitions of the word theory.
contemplation or speculation.guess or conjecture.

So, a theory is a GUESS. Now, to validate their belief they use the term "Scientific theory" Let's look at the definition of scientific theory.

Scientific Theory: Oh oh, there is no definition in the dictionary for the word "scientific theory" Oh oh. Someones got problems here.
The only place you're going to find the definition to the term "Scientific Theory" are on the web pages of Darwinist/Atheists.

But since Atheist/Darwinist love to claim that their are scientific, lets look at the scientific method.

scientific method
–noun
a method of research in which a problem is identified, relevant data are gathered, a hypothesis is formulated from these data, and the hypothesis is empirically tested.

So, basically, It is simply a description of the process of learning that involves observation, hypothesis, testing, and revising.

"When we learn something new about our environment, we first observe or sense something through our senses. We then propose a hypothesis in our mind that explains this observation. A hypothesis makes certain assumptions or predictions about the future. If these predictions hold true, the hypothesis is strengthened in its usefulness as a predictive tool, but it can never be absolutely confirmed since we remain subjective creatures (subject to our senses and to indirect interpretations of what they are telling us).
The strength of the scientific method is found not so much in its ability to detect truth, but in its ability to detect error. It has the ability to rule out those hypothesis and theories that are definitely wrong. For instance, someone might observe a man scratching his nose and then rolling a pair of dice - which end up on double six’s. One might then hypothesize that this man’s nose scratching caused him to roll double six’s. The prediction could then be made that this will always hold true in the future. If the man roles double six's again after scratching his nose, the hypothesis is strengthened, but not absolutely confirmed. This could have been a coincidence after all. However, if this prediction holds one hundred times in a row, one might become more confident, but never absolutely certain. All one can do is point to the past predictive usefulness of this hypothesis. But, if this man happens to roll a two and a five after scratching his nose, the initial hypothesis has clearly failed and either needs to be revised or even replaced by a different hypothesis.
It is commonly stated that religion should be left to theologians while science should be left to scientists. This argument assumes that some important truths are beyond scientific investigation and are thus matters of "faith." What many do not seem to realize is that all human knowledge is a matter of faith. All human theories are statements of faith - even when it comes to the "purer" sciences of physics and mathematics. Human theories may be backed up by a greater or lesser degree of evidence, but, like all human attempts to search out truth, no one and no theory has ever achieved absolute perfection in any aspect of human knowledge concerning the external world. Obviously then, without access to absolute knowledge, a degree of faith remains when one holds a particular position to be true - be it a "religious" or a "scientific" position."
Sean D. Pitman M.D.

Therefor Darwinian Evolution is not a fact, but rather an assumption. The word theory is not a word that represents fact, but..a word that is what it says it is, a guess. Now, I do admit that believing in Christ and God takes faith. I will never deny that, nor will I ever deny that I have faith. But for an Atheists/Darwinist to say they do not go by faith but facts, is entirely not true. They claim to be scientific, logical, and superior. They claim to have science on their side. What they claim and what they really have are two different things.


Conclusion.

If we allow Atheists/Darwinist to stand in the way of truth, we will grow into a nation of blind bats. Not knowing what truth is. Truth is knowledge, and true knowledge comes from understanding the word and that word is God. If we seek the kingdom, we will ultimately find that who is the giver of all knowledge.

"Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight!" Isaiah.


My next post will be on the truth of words, which will be very short. Since we have covered a lot of it here. I hope you enjoyed this. God bless.

Who Created God?

Hello everyone,

If some of you haven't already known or read, I'm currently on a series or God and Atheism or Creation and Darwinian Evolution. As I have stated before and wanted to remind those of you who just started reading that I have no agenda to convert anyone. My purpose here is to expose lies and bring forth what I feel is truth. Now, there are many truths but I'm talking about absolute truth. And yes there is absolute truth. Absolute truth would be something that is factual. I have often said that truth is irrefutable it is without question truth. But is creation and God truth? Yes, because evidence points to that truth. It is irrefutable truth, and even tho it is irrefutable truth, it is a truth that still brings forth questions. Why? Because without questions there are no answers. So even truth will yield some questions. Those who believe that the truth of God or his existence has no evidence are blind to that evidence. The bible says It takes a keen ear and a determined heart to hear the whisper of God's voice. "Be still," He says, "and know that I am God" (Psalms 46:10).

As you can see, it is only those that are willing to hear. If you are not willing you will neither hear nor see. If you are not willing, you will feed upon the lie and deny the truth. Now, lets get started with..Who create God?

The mind of an Atheist/Darwinist..
Now, many times in many debates I have it never fails that an Atheist/Darwinist would ask me "Who create God?" The thought process of one who asks that question is a little skewed. Mine was as well when I asked that question many many years ago as a child. The question suggests many things. It is a question that is basically designed to trap the creationists or the believer. Since a creationists believes everything is created then one must believe that even God himself needed a creator. The logic behind the question is a physical idea. All things to an Atheist/Darwinist must be physical so that it may be observed and witnessed. It is a logic that they themselves do not use within their own religion of Atheism and the pseudoscience of Darwinism. Because they make all kinds of claims without the evidence to support it. They believe they have the evidence but when one with a logical mind reviews this evidence, then it is no evidence at all. I'll get into that later.

An Atheist/Darwinist can not comprehend the belief in a spirit, since they can not see one, then they are lead to believe there is none. Atheist/Darwinist have trouble believing in something outside of time and space. They do not understand the nature of God, and have no concept of the spiritual realm. If you showed a video of a ghost to an Atheist/Darwinist..they will tell you that it's not real, or find some kind of science to back up their belief. Remember, Atheist/Darwinist use their science to back up their belief. Even when the evidence doesn't support their theory.

Yet, Atheist are more inclined to believe in the big bang theory, something that has never been witnessed, they believe it on faith. They have never once observed a species of animal or insect mutate through beneficial mutation into something other than it's own kind. All tho they believe it on faith. Yet when it comes to the spiritual or supernatural, they choose not to believe it. Why? Because it violates their personal interest. It violates their beliefs, their belief that there is no God, there is no judgment, there is no Heaven or Hell. There is no free will or moral code in which we have been given by the creator. If an Atheist believed in Ghosts, then they would contradict their belief in nothing. No life after death.


Who Created God?

As I have stated in my last post, created things have a cause. Created things have a beginning and therefor have a cause. Einstein said that time is linked to matter and space, so time itself has a beginning. This is the theory of relativity, which in my book is not a theory at all, but a fact. It has much supported experimental evidence to show that it is true, a fact and not just a mere theory. Since God, by definition, is the creator of the whole universe, he is the creator of time. Therefore He is not limited by the time dimension He created, so has no beginning in time. Therefore He doesn't have a cause.

"In contrast, there is good evidence that the universe had a beginning. This can be shown from the Laws of Thermodynamics, the most fundamental laws of the physical sciences.

* 1st Law: The total amount of mass-energy in the universe is constant.
* 2nd Law: The amount of energy available for work is running out, or entropy is increasing to a maximum.

If the total amount of mass-energy is limited, and the amount of usable energy is decreasing, then the universe cannot have existed forever, otherwise it would already have exhausted all usable energy the heat death of the universe. For example, all radioactive atoms would have decayed, every part of the universe would be the same temperature, and no further work would be possible.

So the obvious corollary is that the universe began a finite time ago with a lot of usable energy, and is now running down."
Christian Answers.

So, as you see it. No one created God, because he exists outside of time and space. Allow me to bring forth some examples. Your computer, is a world all within itself. There's the internet, where we meet friends and basically live part of our lives and share our lives with them. You see them on the computer, video camera, or pictures. You start to get the sense that there is a community within your pc. There are things like Facebook, Myspace and Twitter. All online communities. But do these people who create these profiles actually live inside them? No. They create a universe of themselves. They bring a part of their lives, but their lives are not in their web pages or the pc. Their lives are outside of it. The person who creates a computer doesn't dwell within the computer, they do not function according to the laws of your computer, they function outside the realm of your computer. So they are not bound by the laws of the pc. A man who creates a watch doesn't function within the watch but outside of it. I once was asked by an Atheist.."What about a house? People build their own houses then live in them." That question was an attempt to trap me and as you guessed it didn't work. That is the difference, a house is created for a purpose that it's designer or creator to live within. God did not create the universe for himself, but for us.

"Now, what if the questioner accepts that the universe had a beginning, but not that it needs a cause? But it is self-evident that things that begin have a cause no-one really denies it in his heart. All science and history would collapse if this law of cause and effect were denied. So would all law enforcement, if the police didn't think they needed to find a cause for a stabbed body or a burgled house.

Also, the universe cannot be self-caused nothing can create itself, because that would mean that it existed before it came into existence, which is a logical absurdity."
Christian Answers


Now, as you can see there is no logic to the question. It is understandable for a child to ask that question and it is a question that everyone must ask during their childhood. Like I said it is a question that one must ask to receive an answer to. But as we grow and develop in understanding and knowledge this question is only asked by those who are willfully ignorant. The answer is not sufficient for the Atheist/Darwinist. It's not that it isn't true, it's the fact that it is. That is why they deny it. They deny it because it's true. You can't deny a fact, but you can willfully deny a fact. Their belief that there is no answer forces them to not accept the answer, the truth. I will leave you with this..

"The Bible informs us that time is a dimension that God created, into which man was subjected. It even tells us that one day time will no longer exist. That will be called “eternity.” God Himself dwells outside of the dimension He created (2 Timothy 1:9, Titus 1:2). He dwells in eternity and is not subject to time. God spoke history before it came into being. He can move through time as a man flips through a history book.

Because we live in the dimension of time, it is impossible for us to fully understand anything that does not have a beginning and an end. Simply accept that fact, and believe the concept of God's eternal nature the same way you believe the concept of space having no beginning and end—by faith—even though such thoughts put a strain on our distinctly insufficient cerebrum."

I hope you enjoyed this and found the information useful for you the believer. Thank you and God bless you all.

Creation: What is created, what is it's purpose and what is it's cause?

Once again I return to thinking and relaying that thought process to you the readers. You must forgive me for misinforming you on something that I said in my last post on morality. I stated that my next post would be on the topic of Who created God? When actually the topic is creation, cause and purpose. I will discuss Who created God, on my next post.

In many of my debates or past debates I have had with Atheist/Darwinist about God was the matter of cause and purpose and of course creation. Now, I have been challenged many times by Atheists to debate but lately I have turned many of them down, reason being, that they have no reason. They are illogical and basically a waste of effort or time. Now, I will make an exception from time to time, but not often. So, if you ever find yourself in a debate with me consider yourself blessed. :) Let's get started shall we?



Creation: What is created, what is it's purpose and what is it's cause?

Now I find myself perplexed at the many answers I receive from Darwinist or Atheists on this matter because the answers themselves indicate a failed reason or logic within the mind of the individual giving the answers. When I ask for them to name me one thing that is not created. Can you answer that question? Name me one thing that has no creator, it doesn't have to be a intelligent creator, and the objects do not have to be alive and breathing. For example, the color red and yellow make Orange. Red does not know that it makes orange with yellow, and neither does yellow and Orange does not know that red and yellow create it. I gave that same example to an Atheist/Darwinist in a little different analogy. I added into the equation that if you left a lump of red clay and yellow clay in a room, what are the odds of that clay creating orange all by itself in one million years? His answer was this.."None, but what if the room was spinning? Then the odds are better." Well, yes of course but that is a lot of spinning and lets say that whatever formed the universe from the big bang was spinning, then that would defy the laws of the conservation of angular momentum. (The Conservation of Angular Momentum is basically this..in layman's terms, lets say that you have a top, and this top has small pennies on it, now when you spin the top the pennies come flying off and all rotate within the same direction of the top.)Because when you look at the planets like Venus it spins in the opposite direction. So that is contradicting the idea of a spinning room, because if the universe was a room and spinning, then Venus would not spin in the direction it spins in. His response.."Well, well between the big bang and the formation of the universe is 9.2 billion years, anything can happen between that time." Wait a minute here. Am I to believe that the big bang is fact and Venus spins in the opposite direction because "anything can happen." ??? Why is it that when a Christian speaks about God and miracles, the Atheist mock them? But when they say.."Well anything can happen." Is that not a belief in a miracle as well? Anything can happen? You mean like a miracle that Venus decided to spin backwards all by itself without any guidance? Illogical. Here's a response I read to that question as to why does Venus spin backwards.

"No one knows for sure, but they think that a very large asteroid many years ago crashed into it sending it spinning backwards. Since it's going against it's gravity and original spin, it spins very slowly and a day on Venus is longer than a year. There are many theories about it, but that's the most popular theory. It did in fact start by spinning normally." May

Now, lets take apart this answer shall we? First she says, "No one knows for sure, but they think that a very large asteroid many years ago crashed into it sending it spinning backwards." Okay now she is admitting that no one really knows. So to assume that an asteroid hit Venus is possible but there must be evidence, in which they haven't found. So, that theory is a guess. Can we believe it? No, because it's not fact. Then she goes on to say.."Since it's GOING AGAINST IT'S GRAVITY and ORIGINAL SPIN, it spins very slowly and a day on Venus is longer than a year." Okay, what she says here is a half truth and the rest is speculation. Yes, a day on Venus is longer than a year here, that is observed. BUT..she also states that Venus is GOING AGAINST IT'S GRAVITY and ORIGINAL SPIN. Question, how does she know what the gravity on Venus is like when no one has ever been there? And how does she know how it spun ORIGINALLY since she was not present nor was anyone else present when it first originally spun? So, she goes from a guess, to attempting to provide facts and does so falsely. Now to the rest of her statement. "There are many theories about it but that's the most popular theory." Yes, and the most popular theory amongst scientist was that the coelacanth was extinct until one was found, so what's the most popular amongst scientist isn't always the right theory. Finally she ends with this.."It did in fact start by spinning normally." And she knows this how? So, as we see it went from an assumption to a fact. They have bigger problems than cat stuck in a dog pound. So, they can't answer the question of naming one thing that is not created. One answer I received was this. "The Universe, is not created." The problem here is that how do they know? Here's another problem for Darwinist. Created things are formulated, created things have working parts to them. Created things are formed by objects. For example if you had a watch with all it's parts in a box, would it be a watch or just parts of a watch? It would be parts of a watch because together these parts make a watch, they create a watch. Without these parts is there a watch? No. So the Universe consists of matter, energy, planets, stars. Those things make up the Universe, the Universe consists of these things. When I made that statement,the reply to that from an Atheist was this..."No, the Universe does not consist of those things it contains them!" Now, I put the exclamation point there because this young lady was actually irritated with me for making that true statement and she had to reply with a stupid answer because if not then she would have to admit I'm right.
Here's the problem with her statement. "No, the Universe does not consist of those things it contains them!" Let's look in the dictionary shall we for the definition of the word consist.

Ready for this?
con⋅sist: to be made up or composed. to be comprised or CONTAINED.

Let's look in a Thesaurus.
Main Entry: consist
Part of Speech: verb
Definition: exist, reside
Synonyms: abide, be, be CONTAINED in, be expressed by, be found in, dwell, inhere, lie, repose, rest, subsist

So what this young lady basically told me is. "No the Universe does not consists of these things it consists of these things!" So this boils down to semantics, in which we will get into in a later post, where I will talk about words and their meanings according to Atheist/Darwinist. But anyway, do you see her logic? No? Neither do I because it's illogical that means there is no logic to her reply. They real reason she made that very dumb statement was because she HAD to disagree with me, because she could not admit that a God fearing Christian was right. That's why.

So, it is correct or a fact that the universe is created, why? Because created things are formed. Now, an Atheist/Darwinist would lead you to believe that formed objects happen by accident. So, that defeats the purpose of them. Atheist and Darwinist are faced with this problem, nothing is created because it all happen by chance or accident. Since the Universe is a entity that is not conscious, then anything that is not conscious can be put together by accident or by chance, and then the Atheists and Darwinist will take this one step further, since a non living entity can be created by accident or chance, then so can a living entity. Even tho the odds are mathematically against them, they believe this to be fact.




Purpose

I was asked recently by an Atheist.."What about space? (empty space) That ("that" being empty space) is not created and it has no purpose." My answer to him was that of course empty space is created. If you took all the matter and energy out of the Universe you would have a void, an empty space. Would that space be there if all the matter and energy were present? No. Space is created by subtracting. Ever hear someone say.."Let's create some space here." ?? Space is created. It's purpose? To be free of matter and energy, to be space. Without a void there is no fullness or occupation. So the purpose of space is to be present for occupation, or fullness, or filled. So then everything has a purpose. Life has a purpose, we as individuals have a purpose. If you were an Atheist, then nothing has purpose because nothing is created and therefor there is no cause for our presence.


Christ is the cause of our existence, He is the creator who gives us purpose. It's simple logic that Atheist/Darwinist are void of. Now, for my next post I will discuss the question that everyone asked at one time in their lives. Who created God?

God bless...

What is truth and what is fantasy? Atheism/Darwinian Evolution vs Christiantiy Part 1

Hello Everyone.

I wanted to touch on many things. Things that I have been told by Atheists/Darwinist. Now many of you will wonder what is a Darwinist and what does that have to do with Atheism? Now, A Darwinist is someone who believes in Darwin. Darwin being the father of modern Evolution. What I call Darwinian Evolution. Now, if you still don't understand that's OK. I will touch on these things in more detail later. On the many things I wanted to touch on.

1. Morals: What are they and where did they come from?
2. Creation: What is created, what is it's purpose and what is it's cause?
3. Who created God?
4. The redefining of words by Atheistic Evolutionists.
5. The truth of words.
6. Logic
7. Science and Pseudo Science.
8. The difference between Evolution and Darwinian Evolution.
9. The Dangers of Darwinism and Atheism.
10.The truth of the word of God, interpretations and science in the bible.
11.History: Evidence of the bible, History of Darwin, History of Atheism and the church.
12.Free Will
13.The answer, the truth.


Now, I know that's a lot for me to touch on and even a lot for you to read. But I will tackle them one at a time. Now, mind you I do get mentally exhausted after I write these because of the amount of information that I give. The constant researching and reading will do one in, but I will give the effort none the less. Why? Because I enjoy information, learning, science and I also feel it needs to be said. Let's take them one step at a time shall we? Some will not be as long as others but still some good information. Let's get started.


1. Morals: What are they and where did they come from?

What are morals? Where do they come from? Let's look at the definition of morality.
mo⋅ral⋅i⋅ty:

moral quality or character. a doctrine or system of morals. moral instruction; a moral lesson, precept, discourse, or utterance. The quality of being in accord with standards of right or good conduct. A system of ideas of right and wrong conduct. A rule or lesson in moral conduct.

Now, what we will find here within the definition of the word "morality" we find the word "lesson" it's only mentioned twice. But notice that it also mentions "doctrine" or "system" "instruction" Now, morality is learned, it is taught. Morals, are instructed, they are taught in lessons, doctrines are learned, systems are learned. Morals are handed down by that who gives laws or what is known as the moral code. The simple explanation that an Atheist or Darwinist would give would be "Morality is in our genes." Well if that were the case what about murderers? Should we blame them for committing murders? an act of immorality because they simply do not contain the "moral gene"?? Morals are handed down by our parents, the laws we have today that we follow have originated by biblical law. Thou shalt not murder or steal. God hands down what is moral. If you asked an Atheist where morals come from, their answer would be..and I quote from an Atheist who I debated recently,"Some people got together and came up with what was right and wrong." Problem here, The Muslims believe that one must eradicate their neighbor for not accepting their faith. The bible teaches to love your enemies. Now, are the Muslims wrong or are they right? Do they not know about their ancestors who formed the moral law? And what about these ancestors, how did they determine what was right or wrong? Where did they get their sense of it? Was it in their genes? Because if it is in the genes, empty all the prisons now and don't blame those thieves or murderers or child abusers for committing immoral crimes, for it is not their fault for lacking the "moral gene". Do you see how absurd their argument is? There is no reason behind it, no logic whats so ever.
 So, what is it that an Atheist finds moral? Well, promiscuity is not a moral issue. They feel that they are able to sleep around and that is moral since there is no sin involved in being promiscuous. Now, don't get me wrong, I personally feel that if you marry someone and love them and are willing to spend your life with them, then it's totally fine to do what you will, it's your business. Now, the reason I bring this topic of promiscuity up, is because, I have spoken to many Atheist/Darwinist who proudly talk about sleeping around. But promiscuity is a form of prostitution, which in some states if not all, is illegal. It was wrong back in biblical times and was considered immoral. Now, as a result of promiscuity, one runs the chance of HIV or AIDS. That is the consequence of the life style,or prostitution. This consequence plays into something else I will touch on later called free will. Morality for an atheist is not based on biblical principals, but based on their willful ignorance for Darwinian Evolution. There is no God, so they will not be judged by God. In the end it's not about the "facts" that they say exist withing Darwinian Evolution, but it supports their belief that there is no God. Since there is no God, an Atheist/Darwinist can pretty much follow their own moral code. That is the basis for their belief or lack of. Not the evidence, because evidence points to a creator, and they can and will and repeatedly have denied that evidence, why? Because of fear, fear of a God, and his judgment. Atheist frequently have told me that God is to blame for the bad choices people make. They shift the blame to someone else for their immorality. That means they don't take responsibility for their actions, or don't want to. I was told recently by an Atheist/Darwinist.."Why not blame God for the bad things man does, or what I do? If a man pulls the trigger on a gun and kills someone would you blame the gun or the person who pulled the trigger? No, you would blame the person pulling the trigger." Now, there are so many things wrong with this analogy. 1. If there is no God why do they blame God for mans immorality? 2. The analogy in comparing a gun and it's user to an individual and their creator. Let's look at this analogy, shall we? A gun is not self aware, it is an unconscious entity, it doesn't think for itself, and it does not make choices. If you pulled the trigger on a gun, the gun can't say..No,I'm not firing, because it's wrong to kill., it is up to the individual to make the choice to pull the trigger, the gun is a tool. Now, compare that to and individual and their creator. We are unlike the gun, for we are conscious and self aware, we have thought and reason (well some of us do.) we have choices. We are not an inanimate object. There for where the gun has no decision, we do. So the analogy is not only a bad analogy, but a very dumb one. In the end, we as Christians follow the morality that Christ spoke of, love your enemies. I have not seen an ounce of love or respect from an Atheist/Evolutionist. I will give you some examples. As we as Christians are told to be tolerant, Atheist are not. I will quote you what Atheists/Darwinist say about people who believe in God and creation.

(Leading evolutionist Stephen J. Gould calls creationists, "kooky," "yahoos" and "latter-day antediluvians" and he characterizes scientific creationism as "the nonsense term of the century.")

He recently declared, "Creationist-bashing is a noble and necessary pursuit these days." Steve seems to hate creationists because he obviously hates our God.

Isaac Asimov showed his hatred and bigotry when he wrote that creationists "...are stupid, lying people who are not to be trusted in any way."

Richard Dawkins calls us feeble-minded, pathetic and intellectual cavemen in his book, The Blind Watchmaker. He also wrote: "It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that)." Then in a November 1983 article, published in the Times Literary Supplement, Dawkins calls us a "gang of ignorant crackpots." See what I mean when I say that many evolutionists are as mean as a junk-yard dog?Like Gould, Asimov, Dawkins, et al., H. L. Mencken was a writer with bile problems and a hatred toward creationists.

Atheist/Darwinist hate creationists and anyone who believes that the Bible is the authoritative Word of God. They are as uncomfortable as a dog in hot ashes when we talk of personal accountability to a sovereign God. They are bigots and haters with a few exceptions. Please remember that they are the ones who believe incredibly silly things without any scientific data to support their philosophy and religion. They are often arrogant, asinine and audacious.


Dr. Alfred Rehwinkel summed it up very well: "Meanwhile, their [atheist/Darwinist] unproven theories will continue to be accepted by the learned and the illiterate alike as absolute truth, and will be defended with a fanatic intolerance that has a parallel only in the bigotry of the darkest Middle Ages. If one does not accept evolution as an infallible dogma, implicitly and without question, one is regarded as an unenlightened ignoramus or is merely ignored as an obscurantist or a naive, uncritical fundamentalist."

Since there is no God, hatred is a welcomed feeling for some Darwinist. The problem we have here is everything hate leads to. Hatred is openly encouraged and embraced by Atheist/Darwinist. I can not help but think of the classic movies of Star Wars. “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”, now even tho that is a fictional movie, it's statements ring true. We'll come back to this part of this later, because this statement or truth, because there are two parts of this truth I would like to touch on. One being hate and the other fear. But hate ties into morals, we teach our children not to hate because of the immoral consequences that derives from it. Since there are immoral consequences of hate, and most Atheist/Darwinist embrace it therefor they embrace the immorality or "sin" that comes with it.

If we teach our children Darwinian Evolution then we are teaching our children that "sin" or immorality has no consequence. That is a fact, for since God is love, then No God is the absence of love. That is true, as the evidence not only suggests but confirms this belief. Atheist/Darwinist do not believe in God, ultimate love, therefor they have no love for their enemies or neighbors. I will concede that some are good people, but not all. They have chosen to live immoral lives. I am not perfect, I make bad choices and I do sin or act out immorally, but I am forgiven of my past sins or immorality through Christ. I am redeemed by the Redeemer. An Atheist is not.

Those are my thoughts on the subject of Morality between an Atheist/Darwinist and Christianity. The next question I will touch upon is, Who created God? My goal is not to convert anyone, but to spread a truth against a hateful disease that has morally crippled this country and is the foundation of corruption. It is a corruption that is embraced by the new Atheist/Darwinist. There is corruption everywhere, in the church and in our govt. But I'm not writing this to oppose any theistic religion or church. I write this as a true believer in God, in the laws of Christ, as one who believes in unconditional love, who is not part of any denomination but part of the body of Christ. A child of God. There are wrong things that are happening in this world, and I am against any evil that uses a false doctrine, religion, science to do evil unto others. Some Atheist would attempt to point out the evils within the bible, but that is historical fact. The bible is filled with truths and filled with lies. Why lies? Because when the bible quotes Satan, it quotes the lies he tells, for Satan is the father of lies. It speaks about the misinformation that people believe, but only those who understand the true nature of God, understand the word of God. On my next post we will continue with..Who created God?

What is Faith?

Hello everyone!

There are a lot of things that I wanted to write about. I wanted to continue some of my blog projects such as.."The Alien Project" and another piece about my continuing feud..yet involuntary one with Atheist and Evolutionist. But today I wanted to write about Faith. I think many of us many times say to ourselves.."Well just a little faith, if I believe that God will do it that's enough." Well, is it really enough to "just believe."? I wanted to go in depth with that and see what God really does say about that. I believe faith is like a puzzle, once the pieces are put in place, you see the bigger picture. Now what is faith? Well in the bible it's says "faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." (Hebrews 11:1) But that's not all that is involved in having faith. Some people may think well just have faith and that's it, and that's not true. Lets get started shall we?


The pieces of the Faith puzzle...

Lets take a look at the pieces that go into faith as a whole. First, we must identify the problem or the need. What is it that you require faith for? Is it for your finances, job, healing or even strength just to make it through the day? Everything requires faith. Believing in God requires faith. So now we have the first piece...identifying the need.


Removing the doubt...

Removing the doubt may not seem like part of the puzzle but it is. We must take all that we know and understand with our human understanding and toss that aside. Why? Because it can ruin your faith. Many people function within reason or within logic. As I have always said in an earlier piece, God functions outside of logic. So you must start to function outside the boundaries of your own logic and understanding. You must realize that God's power is not limited but you can limit God by limiting yourself. Does that make sense? See, we can do a lot for people. We can cook for them, we can do anything. But if they refuse that help then they are limiting your help for them so in reality they have limited themselves from your help. When in reality you can do more for them, than they allow you to. God can do so much more for us than we allow Him to do. And how do we limit God in our lives? With doubt. So eliminate the doubt and God becomes limitless in your life. You therefore will allow Him to work in your life.


Understanding the will of God and expanding your mind...

To have faith we must also understand faith, and in understanding what faith is we must understand the will of God. Now earlier I spoke about removing your doubt and changing your thought process. This is what the bible says about changing that thought process and the will of God. "Do not be conformed to this world,but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." ROMANS 12:2
Now, notice it says "be transformed by the renewal of your mind." We must be transformed. Not just our external behavior, but the way we feel and think—our minds. Then we will understand the will of God. Now the will of God is that we live well, in health and prosperity. There was once a sick man who came to Jesus and said.."Lord if it is your will." And Jesus said.."I am willing be healed." So in that statement alone that is just one small example of God's will for our lives. So understanding God's will is another piece to the puzzle. He want's us to prosper..he wants us in health...that is the will of God.



The ACTIONS of Faith...

Now here is where we get to the final piece of the puzzle, a piece that is probably just as or even more important than the rest. Faith is an ACTION. That's right, faith is an action. How do we know that faith is an act? Lets check what scripture said about faith being an act, and it gives many examples. The Bible says, "Faith without work is dead..." (James 2:26) So there you have it. We show faith by acting on that faith. Here are some examples. There was once an woman who the bible describes was very very ill. Jesus was in her city and as he walked through the city, word had spread that he was there. The apostles were crowded around him as hundreds of people surrounded Jesus and were touching him. The ill woman saw Jesus and reached for him. She thought to herself.."If I could only touche the hem of his garment I will be healed." Now as the woman reached out and touched Jesus. Jesus stopped and looked around..and said.."Who touched me?" The apostles were puzzled and said."Lord, there are hundreds of people who are touching you." and Jesus replied.."Yes but I felt power leave me, someone touched me." Then the woman came forth and said.."It was I lord, I was ill and I reached out and touched you and I was healed." Jesus looked at her and said.."Go, your faith has healed you." There were many many times in the bible where Jesus told those that he healed.."Your faith has healed you." One man was crippled from birth in his hand..and Jesus told him stretch out your hand. The man stretched out his hand...and he was healed. Now think about this..this man acted on faith. If he had not stretched out his hand..and said..BUT I CAN'T. Do you think he would have been healed? Of course not because he had no faith and therefore did not act on that faith. So faith is an act. Now sometimes we don't get the results we want that quick but the bible does say.."Submit thy way unto the Lord, trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass". (Psalms 37:5) So God does bring that answer to pass. Just show him your faith, act on it. Sometimes acting on that faith means doing something, that some would say.."Your taking a big risk" Take that risk, have faith in God. It is your act of faith..show Him your act of faith. "We must keep on keeping on, never giving up the faith, regardless of tough times, the handicap under which we labour. These trials we live through are what make us stronger and our continued faith in God and ourselves pushes us to succeed." www.mswm.org "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." (Mark 9:23)

So now you see faith is an act...and there is much more to it than just saying you believe. You must change your mentality..you must understand God's will, and you must remove all doubt from your life. Anything that would bring doubt. I hope you all enjoyed this. I try not to be preachy about it....but I hope it makes sense. There are many things in life to have faith in. Faith in yourself, in one another, in love. If you can have that kind of faith..not just in those things but in God. Then your world will change. Thanks for reading everyone. Take care and God bless ya.

The Alien Project: Area 51

Hello everyone!

I know it's been a while since I have written anything. I wanted to write this time on a series of "articles" if you would like to call them that. I wanted to touch on the subject of Aliens, UFO's, Area 51, and Alien Abduction. Not many people know about these subjects and I wanted to give as much information to you as possible. This will be a long series and I hope that you find them very interesting and fascinating. These series will eventually lead into other "Thoughts" on subjects such as The Bermuda Triangle..and the Hallow Earth theory. I will also touch on something that is of a specific interest to me, the theory of Atlantis. But I'm getting ahead of myself here. So let's start out with our first subject in the series I like to call "The Alien Project" this is Area 51.

Area 51

Now some of you know about area 51, some probably have heard something about it, and others nothing at all. Well to give you an idea of what area 51 is, were going to have to look at the beginnings of area 51. Back in the mid 1950's a gentleman by the name of Kelly Johnson and his chief test pilot, Tony LeVier, were in search of a test area for their U-2 spy plane. They had many many sites to be considered and one of them was a dried up lake bed in Nevada. Then-then- Colonel Ozzie Ritland and his Richard Bissell's military deputy were involved in the U-2 program were issued the findings of Kelly Johnson and Tony LeVier. Soon the four men decided to go out and take a look at these sites, Then they came to Groom lake, the future site of Area 51. They flew over the area and they knew instantly, that was the prime location.
This is the account of Colonel Ozzie Ritland "we went
in low, and I went to this little X-shaped field that I'd flown over
and over and over again on the bomb run where we'd dropped these
weapons, and I'd spent enough time over there! It was an old, old
World War II field. We flew over it and within 30 seconds, you knew
that was the place because it was a stretched-out thing in the sand
which, over the years, had got hummocks and sagebrush that wouldn't
quit, but it was right by a lake. Man alive, we looked at that lake,
and we all looked at each other. It was another Edwards, so we wheeled
around, landed on that lake, taxied up to one end of it, and Kelly
Johnson said, "We'll put it right here, that's the hangar!"
And thus Area 51 was born. Later Area 51 was also called "Dreamland" which is actually the radio call sign of the control tower at Groom Lake and likely refers to the exotic aircraft tested there, the craft of aviators' dreams. Why it's called Area 51 is classified to this day, and there are many theories behind it, to many to really delve into. The acreage there at groom lake aka Area 51 is approximately 38,400-acre's. It also has the longest air strip in the world. Today that land area is used by the Department of Defense as part of its 4,120-square-mile Nellis Air Force Range. Apparently the Air Force "operating location near Groom Lake" has no official name that is not classified. However, the land which the operating location occupies was officially referred to as that withdrawn by Public Land Order (PLO) 1662 until the Military Lands Withdrawal Act of 1999 rescinded PLO 1662 per § 3011(b)(2)(A). As far as the United States government is concerned, there is no "Area 51." Should you submit correspondence to the government concerning the operating location, do not refer to it as "Area 51." Refer to it as "the United States Air Force operating location near Groom Lake, Nevada on land originally withdrawn by Public Land Order 1662," and you will not foreclose the possibility of receiving a meaningful response. Here the name "Groom Lake" and the term "the base" will be used.

Why Groom lake?

Groom Lake, Nevada is about 90 miles north-northwest of Las Vegas. Groom Lake is an alkali flat, similar to that at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah or Edwards Air Force Base in California. The lake bed can hold water or "flood" after heavy rains. Because heavy rains are seasonal in this area of Nevada, Groom Lake is generally dry. Groom Lake is near the northeastern limits of the Mojave Desert, where Joshua trees inhabit the upper elevations and creosote, saltbushes, and Mojave yucca dominate the lower elevations. Because the valleys in the area are generally endorheic basins lacking hydrologic outlets, dry lakes like Groom Lake, which lies in the Emigrant Valley, are common in the area. Other nearby dry lakes, for example Texas Lake to the east of Groom Lake, have also been used by the Air Force, though not as the sites of permanent bases, stories concerning Papoose Lake aside. The appeal of a dry lake is that it provides a ready-made hard, level surface for operating aircraft.
The average population density in Nevada is low, but in the area surrounding Groom Lake it is particularly low, far less than one person per square mile, excluding base personnel. In 1955, when Groom Lake was selected as the U-2 testing grounds, there were even fewer people in the area. Even today it is not uncommon to drive for 20 miles or more on Nevada Highway 375 without encountering another motor vehicle. NV 375 is the nearest public highway to Groom Lake and is officially designated the "Extraterrestrial Highway" by the state of Nevada. The area is about as close as one can get to the middle of nowhere within the continental United States. The isolation of Groom Lake, its proximity to the Nevada Test Site and the Nellis Air Force Range, the dry lake bed, and the desert weather conditions combine to produce the ideal location to flight test secret aircraft. Now you see why it's perfect for secret aircraft tests and possibly UFO's.

Many aircraft's were tested at Area 51 such as the CIA's OXCART project, a Mach-3 high altitude reconnaissance aircraft, a later variant of which became the famed USAF SR-71 Blackbird. The Lockheed Have Blue prototype stealth fighter (a smaller cousin of the F-117 Nighthawk) first flew at Groom in December 1977. Testing of a series of ultra-secret prototypes continued there until mid-1981, when testing transitioned to the initial production of F-117 stealth fighters. In addition to flight-testing, Groom performed radar profiling, F-117 weapons testing, and was the location for training of the first group of front line USAF F-117 pilots. Subsequently, the still highly classified active-service F-117 operations moved to the nearby Tonopah Test Range, and finally to Holloman Air Force Base. Commuter service is provided along Groom Lake Road by a bus, catering to a small number of employees living in several small communities beyond the NTS boundary (although it is not clear whether these workers are employed at Groom or at other facilities in the NTS). The bus travels Groom Lake Road and stops at Crystal Springs, Ash Springs, and Alamo, and parks at the Alamo courthouse overnight. There is also a red striped plane that flies employees to and from groom lake. Here's an account of a family that were at the airport boarding for a helicopter ride "While waiting for a helicopter in Vegas, we got talking to a pilot, and filmed him telling us about the 'secret' planes that shuttle people in and out of the non-existent base in Area 51. He was full of interesting info on how the system works...eg the mystery planes have priority over the air space, all their randomly timed flights come first (which was why we were hanging around in the first place). We were lucky enough to catch a second shot of an unmarked plane landing, from above while in the helicopter." And here is that video.



Area 51 Employees.

There have been many people who claimed to have worked at Area 51. A family member of mine who's fellow employee is a retired Air Force, He stated to her one day.."You know I have seen it all being in the Air Force, everything from UFO's to Underground cities." Many have feared what may happen if they came out and others come out secretively. But there are those few who come out to tell the truth, and are very outspoken, and they do so..to protect themselves. Take for instance Mr. Bob Lazar. This is his story.




The real questions to this mystery of Area 51 are. What is it the Govt has hidden there and why? Could there actually be UFO's at Area 51? Well no one knows for sure, only those who have actually seen it...and would you believe them..if they told you?
There is a lot more to this story than we know, underground cities? maybe..who knows...with the technology we posses now I wouldn't doubt it one bit. Coincidentally...the gentlemen responsible for finding Area 51 for the U.S. Govt, have been denied access back in. Mr. Kelly Johnson one of the men responsible for it, had requested access to Area 51 before he died. His request was denied..right before his passing.

Please check back for more of my little series here.."The Alien Project" where I'll be talking about programs like MJ-12 aka..Majestic 12 and Roswell NM. Here is the documentary "Re-investigating "Dreamland" enjoy. Thanks for stopping by and reading. Thank you!

Greek influence on western culture.

Hello Everyone,

I haven't written anything in quite some time. I was sitting down and thinking as I usually do :) and I started thinking about Greece. I often think of the many places I would love to travel to and Greece is one of them. Well I am always fascinated by it's people and by it's culture and history. A history that has had major influences on our culture today than any other country...as a matter of fact..they have had more influence on the world today than any other. Lets start with one of the now most famous battles in history made popular by the movie 300. There is some fact to that movie and some extremes also. One fact is yes there were 300 Spartans..what they don't tell you is there were about 1,000 Thespians from Thespia there who died right along with them. Well...the battle was called the battle of Thermopily I may be incorrect in the spelling but at this point it's not important.
Greece and it's influence
Lets start with history its self. Herodotus was the first historian and was actually responsible for the detailed battle of the 300 Spartan war. Herodotus wrote in something he called his "histories". Now during the Persian war with Greece. Herodotus wrote something about Persian messengers that we actually use today in our culture..see if you can guess what it's used in today. "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." Figure it out? If you guessed the U.S. Post Office your right. If you guessed Fed Ex I'm going to slap you! What Herodotus was referring to were the Persian messengers to king Xerxes. Herodotus is considered the father of history. History in Greek means "Investigations"

Greece is probably more responsible for the way we entertain ourselves more than you know. They were the originators of dramatic and comedic plays. The Greeks also invented tragedy, the basis of modern plays, skits, and movies. Comedy made its appearance with Aristophanes. Aristophanes was a Greek playwright and only wrote comedies. The Greeks had many plays. The Greeks had two main types of plays Tragedy and a comedy. A tragedy was a drama with themes about love, hate, war, and/or betrayal. A comedy was a way to get political messages to the public, or just to "poke fun" at a certain group, or class of people. They were the first practitioners of mathematics. The creation of democracy and republics came from the Greeks philosophy on political science. It was the Greeks who actually thought and came up with the first siege engines, the first alarm clock and many other things.


Greek influence on medicine
One of the first physicians Hippocrates was known as the "Father of Medicine." He was the first to do a treatise on human anatomy and bodily ailments. He also wrote an oath, known as the Hippocratic Oath, which lays out ethics for physicians and which is still in use today. Greek culture spread throughout the Mediterranean region, laid the foundation for the Roman Empire, and later, growing, Romans carried on much of the Greek culture upon Europe, adding to it the Roman system of law.

Greek Politics and American Politics.
The Greeks affected many of our constitutional rights. In both the US democracy and the Athenian democracy political power can be exercised by citizens. An example of the political power to be exercised by the citizen in Athens was that laws were voted on and proposed directly by assembly of all citizens. Both the US and the Athenian government had the Legislative branch, the Executive branch, and the Judicial branch. The Legislative branch passes the laws, the Executive branch carries out the laws, and the Judicial branches had trials with paid jurors. In the US most of the democratic theories that the government uses are either identical or very similar to the Ancient Athenians theories.

Greek sports
Greeks affected sports in western civilization. Myron's famous sculpture, the Discus Thrower is an example of a kind of sport in ancient Greek times that resembled modern day javelin mixed with Frisbee. Greece was the first civilization to incorporate sports and make it a tradition. Greece was the hosts of the first Olympics, the sports that this involved were Running, Chariot racing, wrestling, boxing, javelin, and many more sports. The only difference now..is that back then they competed for honor and glory now they just bite your ear off for a belt made out of gold..or an elbow to the face to win a gold basket ball trophy.

The Art of Greece.
The fine arts of Greece affect western civilization. The discus thrower and most other Greek sculptures are emotionless, and usually capture the serenity of motion, and were always proportional, this form of art was known as classical art. Many sculptures and paintings of presidents, and high ranking military leaders are emotionless. The Greeks believed that the emotionless art showed a sense of power. So see...naked people aren't all that bad.


There are many instances...The battle of Marathon..against the Persians. After the Persians were defeated a runner was sent to Athens from Marathon which was about 24 to 26 miles and when he got to Athens he yelled "Nike!" meaning victory. And that is why Marathons today are the distance they are and those shoes on your feet actually mean "Victory" :)

Well I'm sure theres more to talk about and maybe I'll post some more..but I hope you enjoyed our journey into history. :) Take care.

Eli
