Forever Ago

Thank you for two perfect years
I apologise for letting my thoughts
Get in the way of some important bits
But you were great. So was I.

We did magnificently in our roles,
You talking me out of some stupid ideas,
And I, the wide-eyed companion,
Getting in some horrific messes with you.

Thanks for the dreams. They were a comfort
But don't forget to visit, again, because
I'll miss you. You were a brilliant friend
And you fueled a lot of stories. They were good as well.

Frozen In Time

My last shred of sanity is gone
Any and every attempt to get it back
Is futile, it will only end in death

I have given up my heart
I have strung out my soul on a post,
Like a flag, a sign to someone who would care

I have started my search for joy
To let my heart find a distraction to
Take away the pain, even if for a moment

I am preparing myself for the fall
They aim only to hurt, not to heal as I thought
Will I let them have that satisfaction?

Can Science Prove God Exists?

Submitted by Hannah D. on Sat, 07/06/2013 - 06:00

Can science prove God’s existence? Absolutely not. Just take a look at the scientific method. A scientist’s job is to experiment to constantly confirm or deny their formulated hypothesis or theory. The theory itself is (or should be) based on observable facts and/or previous experimental data, but it could still be wrong. There can always be another way to interpret the data. And if you think about it, to say that a theory is true because it is confirmed by experimental data is a logical fallacy.

The Great Flood

One of the biggest factors in creation science, other than creation and the Fall, is the Great Flood. Such an incredible catastrophe would have an incredible affect on much of science, even such subjects as pathology and paleoclimatology (the study of earth’s past climates). Weather, genetics and geology would never be the same. Neither would man or his salvation. “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved,” said Jesus Christ in John 10:9. Jesus is the Ark by which we may be saved today.

Goodbye Burt

*NOTE* This is weird, slightly creepy, and not for everybody. I would say it's PG or PG-13 (it contains some social drinking of alcohol and a very bizarre plot that I won't tell you because it would spoil it) Anyway, please critique!

FOR the next few days, Titus was a total wreck. He had paced up and down his room, sending servants after servants to check on Flora. They all came back with the same answer:
“Senator Manilus would not let us in. All he says is that if you keep keeping this up, he’ll be either flattered that you care so much about his daughter or you’ve been acting completely irrational and should be arrested.”
