Sit down...have a drink...take a moment...take your lifetime...and think...

Thinking is good. One of the most obvious and important distinctions God put in place between us as mankind and all other life on this world is the ability to reason. I want to put my thoughts out in order to, hopefully, get you thinking, and perhaps even get your own thoughts. Be aware that I love debate, and if you want to intelligently discuss differences in thought, be they great or small, I would love to hear it! By no means do I know everything...but I seek to know and understand as much as I can...

Chaos and Creation In The Back Yard

Science and religion, we are told, should not and/or can not mix. We are told that science is based on hard facts and evidence which can be seen and observed, and that religion deals with the mythical, the improvable, and personal conviction. However, Christianity shows how without one, the other simply cannot exist!
One of the difficulties the Church has had with science through much of its existence is how to advance science while advancing its worship of God at the same time. How do we tell if a scientific pursuit is self-serving or glorifying? If it is a Pandoras Box or an expression of worship? How far is too far? Is there even a too far in the first place?

Love & Ingsoc

Imagine a world where your every move is monitored, your every action is scrutinised and analysed, your every thought is a potential crime, and your every friend, co-worker, or man on the street is a potential spy with no greater desire than to reveal who and what you really are. This is the world in which Winston Smith livesand, perhaps, the one in which you live.
