While some historians had always regarded the [conflict] thesis as oversimplifying and distorting a complex relationship, in the late twentieth century it underwent a more systematic reevaluation. The result is the growing recognition among historians of science that the relationship of religion and science has been much more positive than is sometimes thought. Although popular images of controversy continue to exemplify the supposed hostility of Christianity to new scientific theories, studies have shown that Christianity has often nurtured and encouraged scientific endeavour, while at other times the two have co-existed without either tension or attempts at harmonization. If Galileo and the Scopes trial come to mind as examples of conflict, they were the exceptions rather than the rule.

- "Science & Religion", Gary B. Ferngren

Where did the notion of "forever" come from if God doesn't exist?

Where did people get the idea that Heaven and Hell exist?

Who created nature? How can there be such order and complexity in human beings and animals without a Creator?

Who were the first people on Earth? How did people come about? If you believe we were once apes then where and how did those apes come about? There must be a Higher being who created. :)

The theory of evolution is shot full of inconsistencies. Evolutionists have seized on many theories, within the overall theory of evolution, in an attempt to explain the origins of plants, animals, the heavens and the earth.

Over and over, these “theorists” try to explain how life evolved from inanimate material into more complex life forms until it reached the pinnacle—human beings.

Yet, as one geologist wrote, “It must be significant that nearly all the evolutionary stories I learned as student…have been debunked” (Dr. Derek V. Ager, Dept. of Geology, Imperial College, London, The Nature of the Fossil Record, Proceedings of the Geological Assoc., Vol. 87, 1976, pp. 1132-1133).

Perhaps the biggest reason that so many theories within the overall theory of evolution collapse is because they contain terrible logic requiring great leaps in faith to believe. Here is one example of a “debunked” theory: “Many evolutionists have tried to argue that humans are 99% similar chemically to apes and blood precipitation tests do indicate that the chimpanzee is people’s closest relative. Yet regarding this we must observe the following: ‘Milk chemistry indicates that the donkey is man’s closest relative.’ ‘Cholesterol level tests indicate that the garter snake is man’s closest relative.’ ‘Tear enzyme chemistry indicates that the chicken is man’s closest relative.’ ‘On the basis of another type of blood chemistry test, the butter bean is man’s closest relative’” (Morris, Henry M., The Twilight of Evolution, Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1967).

Silence

In recent years rigorous studies on the health consequences of noise have indicated that it elevates the heart rate, blood pressure, vasoconstriction and stress hormone levels, and increases risk for heart attacks. These reports prove that even when we have become mentally habituated to noise, the damage it does to our physiologies continues unchecked.

- "Silence: It's more golden than you think" by George Prochnik

I like comfortable silence. Silence can be fun. Silence is necessary. Silence gives people time to ponder deeply. But silence can be so loud that it becomes deafening. Silence can hurt.

Helloooooo :D It's been more than a month! Haha :) Thank God for everything! Got the answer to my question :D Tried to upload photos just now but FB kept crashing on me..haha okay never mind will try again later :)

SO! Feeling tired after a long day out but it was really enjoyable :D:D:D Competing to see who can throw the pillows back into the basket from the furthest distance (haha this one was super short but it was fun :D), doing seriously dumb things in the showrooms (OMGOSH TOILET BOWL PHOTO HAHA) AND RUNNING UP THE DOWN ESCALATOR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE HAHAHAHA SUPER EXHILARATING :DDDDDDDD YOU SHOULD TRY IT TOO! The escalators at T3 are long and aren't the steps type so you won't get hurt that easily haha :D Was about to reach the top when this guy on another escalator shouted at us and told us not to do that. HAHAHA yea I know it's crazy but you don't always get to do it!

Talking about funny things that happened to us, dreaming about the future, unsuccessful jumpshots, eating good food together, taking 71 photos although the camera's battery was low (HOW COOL IS THAT! THANK GOD FOR MAKING THE BATTERY LAST! HAHA) and laughing like crazy at anything and everything. Haha thanks for your "I love you" before I left :D I know I said "Yup yup" but I really wanted to say "I love you too" hahaha sorry I think I was too tired :) These words have been said many times before but you just never get tired of saying them. Having someone willing to do the dumbest things with you is one of the best things in life..I LOVE YOU FRIEND! =D

I made an animation! Another jumpshot animation :D Haha don't know how to increase the speed..if not it'll look really funny haha

AH YAY :D I'm going to read and watch Dear John, The Notebook and maybe Message in a Bottle..and another books by Nicholas Sparks after A's haha :D

Oh I found a really cool photo just now :D

AHH I WANNA DO THIS TOO! GROUP SKYDIVING!!

Okay really tired haha going off soon..God bless, take care & byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! :)

Random thoughts

AHHHH I LOVE 败犬女王!!

--

Malleable heart. (Sounds better than volatile heart, at least to me. Haha)

--

Love the natural high I get after exercise haha :D

--

God why do You still love me? I disobey. So many times I've disappointed You. Yet You never give up on me. Sigh You're the best. Please pull me back when I wander too far off. Cause I need You. I get worried when I realise that I want You for the wrong reasons. Change me. You deserve more.

God bless, take care & byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)

惜福

Be thankful for the little things in life. When the escalator rides downwards after 5pm, be thankful for that. :D When you get to spend quality time with your loved ones, be thankful for that. When you open your eyes after a good night's rest, be thankful for the new day ahead. Be thankful. You're alive. :)

Haha He really performs miracles..from 0 to 2 then finally 7 pull-ups yesterday..haha those who know how afraid I was of pull-ups - my nemesis in NAPFA - will know it's really a miracle :D:D And I hit a personal best for standing broad jump - 179cm! Haha okay to me it's another miracle =D God is awesomest! Though I didn't run as quickly during the shuttle run and do as many sit-ups as I did during the 1st test, I'm really grateful that I passed :D Not sure if I'll be getting a silver or bronze but never mind cause to me it's gold HAHA so corny XD So anyway YAY THANK GOD NO MORE NAPFA FOR REAL, FOREVERRRRRR!! =D

the combination to be magic too. Sparks will fly :D:D:D:D

I can't cycle on just two wheels.

Everything in between

Something to do

Something to love

Something to hope for

Hmm

I just remembered something..when you were feeling down, I told you that you shouldn't worry so much about it cause it's not worth it.and that no one should take away your right to live life to the fullest..and that I'll be there if you need me..and yea it still holds true. I mean what I say..and now I need to tell myself what I've been telling people..hahaha :)

To another you..okay I'm struggling to write this haha but I know life is unpredictable and I might be gone tomorrow..so in case I do, at least you can read this here..haha okay so here goes! We aren't talking now and I have no idea if we ever will again..but I just want to tell you that I hope that even if we can't be good friends, we can at least be hi-bye friends? Haha..hmm cause ultimately a friend is better than a foe right? :) Oh and wanna let you know that I'm open to talking..anytime actually..okay so it may be hard for you to start the conversation..but really, I don't mind just a "hi"..yea I still care because I don't wanna lose you forever..ahaha this is so hard..I really hope you read this with an open heart..I'm not doing this for myself..please don't think that way..ahh I miss you friend..sorry for not being the perfect friend..I miss those times when we talked about almost everything under the sun and laughed..you're still the only one (I hope? Haha) who knows about some things that I'll probably never tell anyone else..okay yea in any case, I'll definitely remember all the good times we shared..!

God bless, take care & byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :)

Whyyy

God, why did you make me to be sensitive? And it's worse when I PMS. Hahaha.

Solidarités International: Water talks from La Boite Concept on Vimeo.

COOL. TO. THE. MAX. World problems..reminds me of the video I watched in church about the situation in Haiti..really heartbreaking..keep them in your prayers, they need it!! :) And speaking about inanimate objects talking (video title), this brings me to the 3rd thing, something which I really agree with: Everyone and everything is saying something. The sky (gasped when I saw it this morning :D), every single tree and flower, every blade of grass, that stone on the sidewalk - they're all speaking..:D

Hmmm tomorrow is Friday! Time fliessss..hmm school was fine today :) There were highs and lows..Rahh chem SPA!! God I need You!! MsC looked at my graph and looked worried..haha alamak so many anomalous points..sigh okay but thank God for the highs :D Exploded in laughter so many times during Math hahahaa thank God for funny friends =D=D

Okay got to go eat dinner :D Oh yea if you haven't voted for the shortlisted IHPC photos, log on to Schoolbuzz and click on the IHPC link to start casting your votes! Have fun! By the way I think the voting poster is really well done haha I have talented juniors! Okay God bless, take care & byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :):)

SIGH GOD YOU KNOW WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR!! AHHH I'M DISAPPOINTED.

And about that..I can only say..its because they dont know me..right yea =D

Amazed

Read this:

"Humans and chimpanzees share 96% of their genomes"

Even more fascinating:

"About 99 percent of genes in humans have counterparts in the mouse"

(And you thought it's more likely that we share that percentage with apes! Haha!)

Was just thinking how learning Biology makes one learn about God at the same time..=D=D Isn't it amazing what the 1% difference makes? 1% = Ability to think and rationalize, ability to feel, ability to talk, ability to comprehend, ability to impart knowledge and the list goes on..

1%..it just blows me away to know that God can do so much with so little..haha God can even make something from nothing! :) Yea if you feel small today..remember that God can use you to do big things :D Haha humans are forgetful creatures..got to keep reminding yourself! :)

And humans are definitely in a different league from mice..from chimpanzees..poles apart..! Haha how could we have evolved from apes? It's funnily ridiculous..haha we don't need evolution to become the "superior" beings cause we already are. Made in God's image. :)

God bless, take care & byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! =D

I just want you and you're beautiful so you're the one I wanna hold :)

:')

When you can’t go on
And you’re all talked out
When your heart gets broken
And you don’t know how

When there’s nothin’ left and everyone leaves
When you’re heart’s all spent and you don’t need me

I will still be here, when it’s not easy
Baby trust me when I say
I will still be here, you need to know
I’m not going anywhere

When you need some strength
When you need a hand
When you have no faith
And you need a friend

I don’t care what you say
Or how far you roam
I don’t care what you do
I just hope you know

I will still be here, when it’s not easy
Baby trust me when I say
I will still be here, you need to know
I’m not going anywhere

And you could fall down, fall down, fall down
You could cry, cry, cry
Come on break down, break down, break down
And I…

I will still be here, when it’s not easy
Baby trust me when I say
I will still be here, you need to know
I’m not going anywhere

I will still be here, when it’s not easy
Baby trust me when I say
I will still be here, you need to know
I’m not going anywhere

Thank You Daddy..just what I need..don't know how it'll turn out..will need Your strength..and thank You for them..God I pray pray pray that everything will be fine in the end..!!

WAH GOD YOU'RE SO GOOD! First the song lyrics, then the encouragement from friends and then MsG's call and then papa's sudden call plus the 2 short prayers :D:D THANK YOU!! I really don't want to worry too much about it anymore..don't wanna worry about not meeting expectations; not maintaining the standard..no matter what at least we know we did our best..yup God all into Your hands..take the wheel! :)
