Anyone who is having troubles should pray. Anyone who is happy should sing praises. Anyone who is sick should call the church's elders. They should pray for and pour oil on the person in the name of the Lord. And the prayer that is said with faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will heal that person. And if the person has sinned, the sins will be forgiven. Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so God can heal you. When a believing person prays, great things happen. (James 5:13-16)

Noah’s Ark and the Great Flood
Clearly, from a purely scientific point of view, a worldwide flood did not and could not have occurred in 2348 BC.

Granular Spacetime Means Limited Possibilities
The universe is not homogenous. It is “grainy”. In other words, there is a maximum number of divisions that one can make on an imaginary clock or an imaginary ruler. The smallest possible unit of time is about about 10 to the minus 43 … Continue reading

One-way Ticket To Anywhere In the Universe
I was just ruminating on Einstein’s Theory of Relativity today and realized that you could theoretically travel anywhere in the universe in less than a year (your time). Let’s suppose you hopped aboard a rocket ship, destination 14 billion light years away. This … Continue reading
