Sorry, Mr. Dennett ...

I didn't know of you ...I didn't even own a computer, let alone access to any website.  So when I was simply living my life, that world after college, I was asked by someone whether I believed in evolution.  I thought I'd give a different sort of answer, "I believe in the evolution of confusion."   This got their attention, and we had a quite extensive conversation after that, thanks to that one opening line.  I later began writing down my thoughts, it emerged into book form, and I thought I'd entitle it, The Evolution of Confusion.  Well, Daniel, I know you feel you've evolved further than me ...and I guess your website has. But I have not evolved, I was created ...by an intelligent Designer and Creator.  And like it, or not ...you were too.

While I was in college, I was intrigued by evolution ...certain aspects of it, that involved things I hadn't thought about.  I became so interested that I delved deeper.  What I found was, how evolution ...couldn't be.

I realized the danger of trying to think too much ...which actually helped me at first, but other times it can be detrimental.  Wisdom is knowing the difference.  And wisdom comes from God.

Basic truths we need to know ...

Foremost on the list of things we need to know is:  God has revealed to us who  He is.  Jesus did not contest the validity of anything that was written in God's Word before He came to earth.  And the people back then knew well the truth ...they had a good understanding of it.  


Though some chose to manipulate it, the reason some of the leaders acted as they did ...was because they feared the truth, they knew the truth.  But sadly, what they knew ...was not enough to overcome their own selfish ambitions, so they attempted the thwart the truth.

They knew it better than most of us.  How many of us believe what we've always been inclined to think, not what is precisely written?  It is good to read what is written ...so as not to lose the truth among the perceptions of it.  But we should not go beyond what is written, in essence, writing portions of it ourselves, in our own minds ...then often sharing it with others.

Let's begins there ...where? How about the beginning ...

We know how a husband and wife prepare a room for their first child.  That is love!

But let's mention one thing first ...freedom of choice.  Love extends beyond itself...but really doesn't reach true definition without freedom of choice.  I think it is crucial to our understanding ...to understand the angels, especially the third that stood to oppose God.
