The God FAQ

December 24th, 2009

I have been looking for a simple reference to cover the basic ideas of God’s existence and found this handy reference.

Use it frequently and try to commit as much as you can to memory.  It should be helpful as you continue to pursue truth and good in life.

Best of luck!

God Creates World!

5-Sumerians-Look-article_large.article_large

But not without creating some serious confusion among humans already present on Earth:

Members of the earth’s earliest known civilization, the Sumerians, looked on in shock and confusion some 6,000 years ago as God, the Lord Almighty, created Heaven and Earth.

According to recently excavated clay tablets inscribed with cuneiform script, thousands of Sumerians—the first humans to establish systems of writing, agriculture, and government—were working on their sophisticated irrigation systems when the Father of All Creation reached down from the ether and blew the divine spirit of life into their thriving civilization.

“I do not understand,” reads an ancient line of pictographs depicting the sun, the moon, water, and a Sumerian who appears to be scratching his head. “A booming voice is saying, ‘Let there be light,’ but there is already light. It is saying, ‘Let the earth bring forth grass,’ but I am already standing on grass.”

“Everything is here already,” the pictograph continues. “We do not need more stars.”

Everything Is Wrong

October 14th, 2009

I have always liked Jeff Atwood’s blog.  I really appreciated his latest post.  I have seen the Project Xanadu list many times, but it’s always nice to see a refresher… it’s that important and that thought provoking.

Most importantly are Ted Nelson’s four maxims:

  1. most people are fools
  2. most authority is malignant
  3. God does not exist
  4. everything is wrong


Here is a very cool screenshot of Project Xanadu showing the Bible cross referenced with myriad other sources:

Thanks for the post, Jeff.  Keep up the excellent work.
