"If there is no God: - nothing produced something; - non-life produced life; - randomness produced order; - chaos produced information; - the unconscious produced conscious; - non-reason produced reason... ...and I'm sorry, I can't believe any of that." ~ @askcliffe

As much as I want to celebrate , I will hold off doing so until the wet ink is dry from BOTH parties...

How your body repairs DNA. How can anyone see this and think it wasn't designed? This is God's Creation.

Proof for the separated existence from the universe of numbers and moral properties P1. Any entity or truth that is strictly necessary, immutable (unchanging), and independent of physical space, time, and matter exists apart from the physical universe. ​P2. Numbers, geometric laws, and immaterial properties (such as justice and love) are strictly necessary, immutable, and independent of physical space, time, and matter. ​Therefore, numbers, geometric laws, and immaterial properties exist apart from the physical universe. Justification P2: Numbers, geometric truths, and immaterial properties are not composed of matter, occupy no location in space, and do not change over time; therefore, they are independent of physical space, time, and matter and are immutable. Their truths or natures hold necessarily rather than contingently.

Exactly right. 💯

I suck at this.

This was my first thought when I saw the news. This is the 2nd or 3rd time we've been down this road. The IRGC has shown they cannot be trusted at all, and when the bombing starts, they back down temporarily, only to repeat the same playbook of dragging everyone along. As much as I want the US to succeed, watching the IRGC successfully execute this playbook is, frankly, embarrassing at this point. If no deal is struck after this and this cycle repeats again, I believe Trump will lose a lot of credibility regarding this matter. Time will tell...

What kind of man are you?

Stephen Meyer has absolutely destroyed Naturalism. Nothing explains the universe and the Life within it better than an eternal, Divine Creator. Here are the 4 most powerful points from his recent conversation with Phil Halper 👇

Three most important events:

This is about protection, not hatred.

She ate lunch alone for 730 days straight. What this 16-year-old built from that pain now protects millions of kids worldwide. Seventh grade. Natalie Hampton carried her tray through a packed cafeteria and felt it — that specific, suffocating dread of not knowing where to go. She'd already learned what happened when you approached the wrong table. The silence. The turned backs. The whispered laughter that followed you all the way to the empty table by the wall. The one everyone could see. The one that said: nobody wants her. For two full years — 730 consecutive lunches — that table was hers. Alone. The bullying went further than whispers. She was shoved into lockers. Four physical attacks in two weeks. She came home with scratches and bruises. When she finally reported it, school administrators sent her to counseling — to find out what she was doing wrong. The isolation grew so heavy she was hospitalized for anxiety. Then ninth grade came. A new school. And almost overnight — everything changed. Students welcomed her. She made friends within weeks. She finally knew what safe felt like. But she couldn't stop thinking about the kids still sitting at the wall table. Right now. Today. She remembered what she'd needed most during all those lunches. Not a teacher. Not a pamphlet. Just one person saying: "You can sit with us." So at 16 — with zero coding experience and "a lot of enthusiasm," as she put it — Natalie built exactly that. She called it Sit With Us. The idea was simple and genius: students sign up as "ambassadors," keeping their table open. Other kids privately browse available tables on their phones before ever walking into the cafeteria — and show up knowing they're already welcome. No public rejection. No moment of judgment. Just a guaranteed seat. Within 7 days of launching: 10,000 downloads. Then the world found her. NPR. The Washington Post. CBS News. Messages from Morocco, Australia, the Philippines, France — kids who'd been eating alone for years, finally finding a place to belong. Sit With Us now operates in 30 countries. "Even if it helps one person," Natalie said quietly, "it was worth building." She turned 730 lunches of loneliness into a lifeline for millions. That's not just survival. That's transformation.

This is the “spaghetti at the wall approach.” Atheists come up with a bunch of theories that try to get around the beginning of the universe and pray something sticks, and they can’t commit to one because they’re all terrible.

How your body stops bleeding. A complex, multi-step process requiring many working parts. And clear evidence of the Genius Design of Life. Here's how it works: Step 1: Once you get a cut, a specialized protein called the "Tissue Factor" is exposed. Tissue Factor is like the 'On' switch of the whole thing, instantly triggering the entire clotting process the moment it gets exposed to blood. Without the Tissue Factor, the process never begins. Step 2: Factor 7 is activated. Another specialized protein that acts like a spark plug, moving to the exposed site and triggering the next step in the process. Without Factor 7, the process has no direction or starting point. Step 3: This triggers Factor 10. The central protein that acts like the engine of the whole process - it drives & organizes the different enzymes that create the clot to stop the bleeding. Without Factor 10, the molecules that actually create the clot do not activate. Step 4: A massive thrombin explosion begins. Thrombin is a special enzyme that creates the actual material that creates the clot that stops the bleeding. Factor 10 can trigger tens of thousands of Thrombin enzymes to form in just seconds. Without Thrombin, the clot cannot form to stop the bleeding. Step 5: Thrombin converts fibrinogen into fibrin strands These strands stretch across the exposed vein - this is what actually forms the clot and stops the bleeding. Without this massive & rapid explosion, clotting would be too slow and you would bleed out. Step 6: Fibrin forms a sticky mesh. Fibrin is a sticky, thread-like protein that froms a criss-cross pattern across the opening to stop the bleeding. Without Fibrin being organized into the exact right place at the right moment, it could cause fatal clots all over the bloodstream. Step 7: Factor 13 is triggered by Thrombin. Factor 13 is the final protein in the cascade, acting like super-glue to connect the fibrin strands into a strong mesh that holds the clot together. Without Factor 13, the clot would break apart and the bleeding wouldn't stop. Step 8: Regulators (Protein C, Antithrombin) activated to prevent over-clotting. These are important - more enzymes that shut down excess clotting once the job is done - preventing dangerous over-clotting and keeping blood flowing smoothly where it should. Without these regulators, clotting could cascade out of control and lead to circulation issues and death. So in summary - your body's ability to stop bleeding requires 8 complicated steps with multiple major systems working perfectly together. Those systems use 12-13 core proteins 7 regulators, totalling over 20 proteins needed. One missing piece and you bleed out from a paper cut. This level of coordinated precision cannot evolve one step at a time - anything less than the entire system results in death. Only Intelligence engineers systems with this level of complexity and coordination. Life is clearly Divinely Designed.
