Much cooler yesterday, Blaze stayed out in the yard for several hours.  Now, for most dogs that is not a big deal, but for him it is; he just doesn’t process his environment like most dogs.  But yesterday he was out there watching the birds, sitting with Abby, one of the cats, and seemed to be enjoying himself.

Unfortunately, he does things like that and I think, maybe, just maybe he is getting better – then he gets skittish over something and retreats back into his shell.

For the most part he is happy, I think, but could be so much happier if we could just get him to try new things.

Had some homemade seafood sauce with our fish tonight, didn’t taste too bad, it could be a bit tangier – more horse radish might help so we will add it to the next mix.

“In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God’s existence.”  Isaac Newton

Romans 1:20  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

When I was in 7^th or 8^th grade I remember our science teacher saying that she was asked if she believed in God since she believed in evolution.  She said she told them, ‘yes, I believe in God, but I think He created the universe in His own way.’

I can remember thinking, then, that is a strange comment.  I wasn’t aware of what all the Bible had to say on Creation, but I did know that God said He created it in 6 days.  THAT was ‘His own way.’

I have seen too many Christians thinking that God did use evolution (in one way or another) and that the account in Genesis is wrong.  I cannot accept that theory.

IF God lied to us about Creation, then how can we possibly believe anything He tells us.

One of the things I realized early in my experiences as a Christian was that we either have faith in the Word or we do not.  If we try to make the Bible say things that it doesn’t say to make it easier for us to accept certain things, or makes it easier to live our life, then it is worthless as a guide to our lives.

I am not saying that my beliefs, as a Christian, on what the Bible say are 100% accurate, I have heard other ideas on some of it and it could be ‘that way.’  However, the core issues surrounding God’s Word and our interpretation of His Word must be centered on acceptance and even though we may disagree on some things, other things, like salvation, is not one of them.

I do not get in long conversations with a Christian that is convinced that we live on a billion year old planet, they are wrong, but I do believe that most truly are Christians.  But, I also think that it creates a dangerous situation when we say part of the Bible is incorrect – where do we stop?

We know many people who have undermined the salvation of others with their changes in what the Bible says.

So, I continue to believe we are a young earth; that God DID create the Universe and He did it in six days as the Bible says.  I also believe Creation Scientists who have pointed out on numerous occasions the problems with the religion of evolution and the falsification of some of the data that they use to bolster their theory.

Evolution IS not fact as so many scientists make it out to be, it is indeed an unproven theory; and just that, the fact is there had to be a Creator His proof is all around us even in the hand in front of us.
