When Lightning Strikes

I had to look this up on snopes because every one and his Mother today wears some electrical device on his body and this being lightning/tornado season....

Snopes said Ipods do not draw lightning but lightning strikes where it wants to and they conduct electricity since they have metal in them.

People wearing devices would receive serious injuries in the event of lightning striking nearby.

July 2007 In the New England Journal of Medicine they had a case
of a 37 year old jogger in Vancouver, being thrown 8 feet, when lightning struck a nearby tree.
He got 2nd degree burns to his left leg and chest neck and sides of his face.
Both ear drums were ruptured as well as the small bones in his ear. His jaw was dislocated and broken in 4 places

I have always been fascinated by lightning and how some people say they were hit more than one time.
I now wonder if it was because they had metal on them or if they had more minerals in their blood stream than other people do.
Then I came across an article
http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/origin-of-life.html

It asked :
Where did life come from ?
and this is why creationists and evolutionists are coming closer together.

Water = consists of minerals and chemicals to support life but does not give life.

Oxygen would have destroyed life, decomposed it through natural process.

Ammonia, nitrogen, hydrogen water vapor and methane also don't produce life and adding electricity to it only allowed for the production of some amino acids, from which proteins could be made but no life.
Even making them by fluke is like 10 to the 67th chance to one.
Scientists for the most part concluded, proteins required to support life, couldn't have originated by fluke through evolution.
It would be like saying a tornado could go through a junk yard, resulting in a Boeing 747.

Evolutionist Fred Hoyle agreed life could not have originated by chance
DNA has no intelligence. It can't be reproduced artificially or naturally in 10 billion years.
Only DNA can reproduce itself.
So there had to be an intelligent designer, like a computer programmer, to do this.

Scientists tried to design life the way evolutionists believed it could happen and found
when lightning strikes, it doesn't unite all the chemicals, minerals DNA proteins etc...
in the way they should be, for life to happen.

Very interesting article.

So if there was a creator who designed man, it must have been in his interest to see how long his creation would survive or if it would kill itself and die.
It is also logical to assume he would give man messages and guidance and show him that
life has no beginning and no end and people go on self journeys to explore to find them.

For others he gave instructions like the 10 commandments much easier
to understand because they encompass everything and because they do it is over whelming for man to accept them.
Man likes to come to his own decisions through his own journey.
To me God says if you follow this path , through my words
evil cannot touch you and I personally, found his words to be true.
I have never had psychological suffering as I see in people today.
People hate the 10 Commandments.
They are restrictions.
But they are only restrictions, for those who do not understand them.
They are a work of a genius, who could take all the laws in the world
and put them into 10 sentences.

In the end it will be between each one of us and God and I am sure he will find both good and bad in us all, and we'll be judged according to his wisdom.

Have a good one.

2012 Walkabout

It seems the new year has begun its' walkabout and requires new shoes

to protect its' feet. lol

The shoes it chooses to wear will reflect on how well a job it does.

The year predicts a hard economic trudge uphill, which is kinda scary and kinda exciting depending on what stage of life you are in.

But if we in North America, are anything at all, it is people who dig in and go for it.

I listen to the news now with different ears.

You cannot believe anything they tell you

or say anything if you expect people to believe.

The advertising is full of unbelievable notions and falsehoods to buy products which do not work.

So it is important to choose wisely things you need as opposed to fantasies.

We have a scientist who said there is probably life out there in the universe but we can't see it

and as a result, many have lost their faith in science.

Scientific formulas which are good for our system of life and depended upon to be true, do not apply past a certain, very complicated process. There is so much we still do not know and this is why man still has hope and believes in a higher force and intelligence governing over us.

But instead of losing faith in science, we must still push forward to discover more.

One day man might be able to evolve into a modern entity which will not require as much food and will use the energy around him to survive.

It would resolve a lot of the worlds problems today and we need to forge forward

into the universe to learn more about such things.

Man is about learning and growing.

I believe man receives intelligence from a higher source.

It is given to him as the needs increase and it comes from no one source

so as to humble man and keep him equal to another.

Schools need to push towards science and math to make it interesting for kids to want more of it.

We have the opportunity to make this years' walk about a productive one but it requires

selflessness, self discipline and a desire to succeed.

My little New Year needs new shoes

I guess I better start making it a pair :)

Have a great day Every one

and

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

New Year Clean Up

We can begin the new year by developing a new world free of garbage.
This new plastic is biodegradable and safe and the old bags can be melted at home and reused.



If all plastic was made bio degradable, which we know can be done today,
we would not need to worry about our environment.
This includes replacement of all stero foam used for meat packaging.



A great project to promote as a New Year resolution.

:)

I recently asked a friend, "Has your son decided what he wants to be when he grows up?"

"Yes, he wants to be a garbage collector," my friend replied.

I had to think about that one for a moment! "That's a rather strange ambition to have for a career." I finally managed to reply.

"Well," said the boy's father, "he thinks that garbage collectors only work on Tuesdays!"

This is interesting I have to try it. How Air Will Travel.
Apparently it has something wrong with it so I wouldn't advise downloading the program.

Communion on the Moon

I love this. How many of you knew? Too bad this type news doesn't travel as fast as bad.

Communion on the Moon: July 20, 1969

(This is an article by Eric Metaxas)

Forty years ago two human beings changed history by walking on the surface of the moon. But what happened before Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong exited the Lunar Module is perhaps even more amazing, if only because so few people know about it. "I'm talking about the fact that Buzz Aldrin took communion on the surface of the moon. Some months after his return, he wrote about it in Guideposts magazine.

And a few years ago I had the privilege of meeting him myself. I asked him about it and he confirmed the story to me, and I wrote about in my book Everything You Always Wanted to Know About God (But Were Afraid to Ask).

The background to the story is that Aldrin was an elder at his Presbyterian Church in Texas during this period in his life, and knowing that he would soon be doing something unprecedented in human history, he felt he should mark the occasion somehow, and he asked his minister to help him. And so the minister consecrated a communion wafer and a small vial of communion wine. And Buzz Aldrin took them with him out of the Earth's orbit and on to the surface of the moon.

He and Armstrong had only been on the lunar surface for a few minutes when Aldrin made the following public statement:
"This is the LM pilot. I'd like to take this opportunity to ask every person listening in, whoever and wherever they may be, to pause for a moment and contemplate the events of the past few hours and to give thanks in his or her own way." He then ended radio communication and there, on the silent surface of the moon, 250,000 miles from home, he read a verse from the Gospel of John, and he took communion. Here is his own account of what happened:

"In the radio blackout, I opened the little plastic packages which contained the bread and the wine. I poured the wine into the chalice our church had given me. In the one-sixth gravity of the moon, the wine slowly curled and gracefully came up the side of the cup.
Then I read the Scripture, 'I am the vine, you are the branches. Whosoever abides in me will bring forth much fruit. Apart from me you can do nothing.

I had intended to read my communion passage back to earth, but at the last minute [they] had requested that I not do this. NASA was already embroiled in a legal battle with Madelyn Murray O'Hare, the celebrated opponent of religion, over the Apollo 8 crew reading from Genesis while orbiting the moon at Christmas. I agreed reluctantly.

I ate the tiny Host and swallowed the wine. I gave thanks for the intelligence and spirit that had brought two young pilots to the Sea of Tranquility . It was interesting for me to think: the very first liquid ever poured on the moon, and the very first food eaten there, were the communion elements.

And of course, it's interesting to think that some of the first words spoken on the moon were the words of Jesus Christ, who made the Earth and the moon - and Who, in the immortal words of Dante, is Himself the "Love that moves the Sun and other stars."

=======================================================

Q. What do you call a clock on the moon?
A. A lunartick.

Q How does the moon get a hair cut?
A It eclipse it

A teacher asks their students "Which is more useful, the Sun or the Moon?"
After a moment of silence a ten-year old student puts his hand up and answers, "I think it's the Moon because the moon shines at night when you want the light, whereas the Sun shines during the day when you don't need it."

Love of Science and Scientists.

Bike Phone charger.



This is something every woman would find useful to know and very important if you don't have electricity and are stuck somewhere with a discharged phone.

This is like something taken out of the MacGayver series where he uses things around him to get him out of jams.
Sometimes it pays to know a bit of science. I often wondered if what he did on TV was true.
In any event if your child is in cub scouts or girl scouts,knowing stuff like this is cool.




And if you ever think of receiving a love letter from a scientist, here is an example to expect:

                     Love Letter from a Mathematician
My Dear Love,

Yesterday, I was passing by your rectangular house in trigonometric
lane. There I saw you with our cute circular face,conical nose and
spherical eyes,standing in your triangular garden.

Before seeing you my heart was a null set, but when a vector of magnitude
(likeness) from your eyes at a deviation of theta radians made a tangent to
my heart, it differentiated.

My love for you is a quadratic equation with real roots, which only you can
solve by making good binary relation with me. The cosine of my love for you
extends to infinity. I promise that I should not resolve you into partial
functions but if I do so, you can integrate me by applying the limits from
zero to infinity.

You are as essential to me as an element to a set. The geometry of my life
revolves around your acute personality.

My love, if you do not meet me at parabola restaurant on date 10 at
sunset,when the sun is making an angle of 160 degrees, my heart would be
like a solved polynomial of degree 10.

With love from your higher order derivatives of maxima and minima, of an
unknown function.

Have a great day.:)

We Are Bound Together

I found this to be interesting.
This is a picture of a protein called - Laminin.
Laminins bind our cells together
and why is it surprising that they come in a shape of a cross?

Laminins are cell adhesion molecules that hold us together.
If we did not have them, we would fall apart .

Just think how many laminins or shape like crosses, we have inside all of us,
and how science finds similar shapes in common elements created naturally or by some
mistake. or accident.

Christians got excited about finding Laminins in people because of the King James Version of the Bible.
Colossians 1:15-17 states:

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. ¹⁶ For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. ¹⁷ He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

This, for them, further confirms that man was made in God's image and it made it more so believable that the birth of Jesus and the path his life took, to be knowingly and obligingly, crucified on a cross, was pre ordained.

If a person believes in symbolism, then it all makes sense, to find - Laminins in man, crosses, elements, Christianity, the Bible and God - all related.

What are the chances that Laminins end up looking like crosses?
Why not circles or squiggles or triangles or some other polygon?

I found this to be quite intriguing, especially on such a blah day we are having today, so thought I would share.
Thanks
:)

we are not alone

A new planet was discovered 20 light years away.or 120,000 000 000 000 mi
Going at 30 km/sec would take us 200,000 years to get there .
Our planet and this one are known as the Goldilocks Zone meaning we live in a place where
the water is neither too cold not too hot to support life.
This new planet has a mass 5 times the Earth's.
It has a diameter of 12,000 miles as opposed to the Earth which is 8 ooo from pole to pole

We are 93million mi away from our sun and the new planet is 6 million miles away
It orbits quickly so its' year is 13 of our days
with a higher gravity and more solar radiation
This planet would have had billions of years to develop life

So now scientists believe we are not alone There must be other planets out there similar to our own.

Thoughts To Ponder and Swim With

Geekology has introduced an eco friendly boat which can run on human fat if need be.

This bio energy is an interesting idea and now I know where doctors can send the fat of their lipo suction patients to, for recycling loll

You can read about this boat here



Bio fuel can be attained apparently from any natural product with oils in it like coffee and algae. We know fuel is already made from corn.

coffee fuel
This is an amazing craft which is designed to go through waves as opposed to going over them. Gives you a futuristic sense of adventure to look at and has space in the back to sit and enjoy the sun and fresh air and even a water skier.

Man can live without hurting nature.
