Dear readers, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this conversation we're having. I would love to meet you in person if you can make it to Astoria, Oregon in July for FinnFest. Follow the link above to the official site. The dates are July 26-30. If you can't make it for the whole weekend, perhaps we can plan a picnic at a local park for Saturday afternoon. Let me know your thoughts.
And hey, all you lurkers who haven't posted before: please delurk just to say hi. Suggest a topic if you'd like. There is no guarantee we will stick to the subject, but that's the fun of it.

Re; Loose ends
I like MTH's descripion of posts
on this blog and is why I like
it. viz.Loose Ends.
Nothing is as boring as sitting
in church and Bible class for
years and listening to the same
line repeatedly with very little
challenge and no opposing view-
points.
The story of my life to this
point is not to come to any
definite conclusions about
anything includung religion.
The world of knowledge, science
and discovery continues to
change rapidly .
For example:
If life or evidence of life is
found on Mars or other planets
what effect will that have on
your belief.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great blog. Keep up the good work!
Some additional thoughts on
ReplyDeletethe above ( life on other worlds)
PBS had a 2 hour program last
night on the subject.
Some facts and conjectures:
One of the moons of Jupiter looks
like a good candidate as it is
covered with ice, water being
essential for life.
If life is discovered outside of
the earth , the implications are
huge !
Where the beginnings of life
brought to earth through
meteorites or comets?
It also means that life, some
intelligent. could also be
possible on some of the millions
or billions of other planets in
the universe.
My comments:
If intelligent they could also be
in various stages of development
including religous beliefs if
any.
ET call earth!
P.S.You literalists out there.
Look through the telescope
already !
Galileo could not get the
church fathers to even look
through his telescope. I
guess they feared they might
see something to make them
doubt thier beliefs.
