“No wild beasts are such enemies to mankind as are most of the Christians in their deadly hatred of each other.” — Roman Emperor Julian, 361-363; pagan; known as Julian the Apostate. He wasn’t wrong. To this day, he is right. Lord, forgive us.

“When our genes could not store all the information necessary for survival, we slowly invented brains. But then the time came, perhaps ten thousand years ago, when we needed to know more than could conveniently be contained in brains. So we learned to stockpile enormous quantities of information outside our bodies. We are the only species on the planet, so far as we know, to have invented a communal memory stored neither in our genes nor in our brains. The warehouse of that memory is called the library. A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called ‘leaves’) imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person - perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic.” — Carl Sagan

🚨🚨🚨 I'm posting this video every day so we NEVER forget what insurrectionist Donald Trump did on J6 Instead of accepting defeat and honoring the peaceful transfer of power, Trump unleashed a deadly mob on the U.S. Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power THIS is what an insurrection looks like 👇👇👇

Replying to @rabbriansamuel
The fine-tuning of the universe's physical constants, the origin of life from non-life, and the emergence of consciousness make pure randomness a poor explanation for what we observe. These point strongly toward intentional design by some form of creator intelligence. Science explains mechanisms well but leaves the ultimate "why" and initial conditions open—random chance alone doesn't account for the order and precision involved.
