The release of the newest automobile had been kept secret, just like a weapons development project, top secret. Though there was an industry of speculation, it was not fed by hints, leaks or anything, but imagination and history. The transformation of automobile design started with the abandonment of historical evolutionary processes, where each new release stood alone, no versions, editions or adaptations of a predecessor model. After marketing had been supplanted by actual engineering, substance ruled over form and it changed everything. Patching up last years model with a few new shiny bells and whistles had become antiquated. The technological advancement of design enabled UPD, Universal Point Development, such that a baseline was no longer the starting point – history was eclipsed and discarded, just as physical memory had replaced serial tape storage.
These new releases were completely new units. One might ask why develop new parts when last years part is still viable? The answer is that the innovation of the assembly line, over a hundred years ago, had become defunct. There are no unimportant parts, the whole is no longer the sum of the parts. UPD removed limitations that resided, even in the designers subconscious mind. Former efficiency in design, production and assembly had produced a product life-cycle lasting from five to ten years, but now there is no cycle of incremental versions, new releases are altogether new. The old, so called, efficiencies were altogether replaced by new technologies, processes, and materials.
What everyone is interested in these days is not the “How”, but the “What”. “How fast can it go”, was replaced by “what can it do.” The last release was waterproof to three meters. It was shown driving down the beach into the water until it disappeared just below the surface, after the suspense built, it slowly emerged up onto the shore and tore off in a spray of mist and sand. The releases are beautifully unique, but their style does not betray functionality as large, heavy, and bulky models once denoted back country accessibility. These vehicles can transform with adaptive design. Of course, every function is not universally desired and some features serve multiple functions, for example, a sound proof car is also a waterproof car; an all terrain vehicle is also self-repairing, and multi-fuel options can keep them running longer in any environment. Aesthetics, the concern with the nature and appreciation of beauty, is not diminished, but enhanced in this unlimited realm of design. Vehicles can repair themselves of scratches and certain damage, just as they can repaint and recolor themselves. The thought of purchasing a vehicle of a particular color, is a concept that has lost all meaning. This sounds like science fiction because the words “repaint” and “repair” convey images of laborious activity done in paint and body shops. However, the replacement of steel exteriors and fluid paint with micro perforated fiber and light diffusing particulates enabled these laborious tasks to become as easy as opening a valve to release agents that fill holes and change color.
One final point should be explained, these vehicles are very expensive, so much that only the super-wealthy can afford them, but they out bid each other trying to secure just one of the latest releases. However, the high price is not due to production or assembly costs, but simply as much as the market can bear. After all, it’s not important, as Yeshua said, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” (Luke 12:15). Moreover, we know that only one thing is needed, “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” (1 John 5:12).
If you are a devoted atheist you will need some “Science” to support anything you believe, or at least a theory that has not been fully discredited. This is the status of science today, as so much of what is called fact can not be established through the scientific method here and now. Therefore, theories carry significant weight in scientific research. Unknowns are explained with theories that are further supported or discredited by observation, new discoveries, conjecture and/or educated guesses. For example, until recently, the universe and related theories about it were based on an assumption that the universe always existed in a static state. New scientific discoveries reveal that the universe is expanding which obliterated the static model and all theory based upon it. An expanding universe presents all sorts of new questions because it points to a beginning a millisecond before the so called “Big Bang.”
If this being is omnipotent, then every occurrence, including every human action, every human thought, every human feeling and aspiration is also His work; how is it possible to think of holding men responsible for their deeds and thoughts before such an almighty Being? In giving out punishment and rewards he would to a certain extent be passing judgment on Himself. How can this be combined with the goodness and righteousness ascribed to Him. –Albert Einstein.
I have always enjoyed a good science fiction story, but to be good it must have a device to make it plausible. C.S. Lewis wrote a science fiction trilogy with the first book, “Out of the Silent Planet”, published in 1938. It employed an anti-gravity coating on a space ship that enabled space travel to the moon. This device gives the reader freedom to accept the rest of the story.
We watched a movie entitled “The Experimenter”, based on a true story of social behavioral experiments conducted in 1961, by psychiatrist Dr. Stanley Milgram. The movie was OK, if you are interested in mind games or psychology, but I found an aspect in the background that was startling. Dr. Milgram devised a test to see how far people would go when given instructions by an authority figure. It involved one person, the teacher, giving negative feedback to another, the student, via electric shocks for each wrong answer. There weren’t any real shocks, but the teachers were led to believe they were and the voltage increased with each successive wrong answer until the student requested that they wanted to quit and eventually fell silent from the pain. The result was that almost every Teacher kept giving the shocks, even when the student begged with screams of pain for them to stop. Each teacher became uncomfortable and concerned, but they were reassured by the observing test official that no permanent damage would result, he accepted the responsibility, the teacher had agreed to follow through and must complete the test. After it was over each participant was shown that no shocks were actually given and it had only been a test of whether they would comply with authority or follow their own sense of right and responsibility.
In the last few years a number of scientists and politicians have warned about the earth warming unnaturally and the catastrophes that will occur as a result. Some politicians recently have suggested that the earth will be destroyed within just 12 years. As many of these people are from the fascist left it is not surprising that they are not willing to hear any other point of view from other scientists who disagree with their conclusions but rather try to shame them with the label “denier”.
This book by Hugh Ross, Ph.d. is well written and interesting. It discusses astrophysics in a way that is understandable even though it goes into considerable depth. Dr. Ross is a believer and a cosmologist and theoretician. This was the third edition which included many recent updates. The Big Bang theory and recent discoveries related to it have transformed thinking on the origin of the universe and the existence of a Creator. Those who are opposed to God in any concept are scrambling to craft new arguments against the Big Bang theory. This book explains evidence for and defense of the Big Bang theory based on existing observations, measurements, rationale of general relativity, and the laws of thermonuclear dynamics. 
The idea of a utopia on earth constructed by men is the silliest idea ever. However long we have lived on earth there has been no utopia. All the attempts by tyrants, communists, Emperors, dictators, and even well-meaning people can not create perfect order from the brokenness in this world. It is frightening to consider that men exist who think they can create a utopia through their own wisdom. This is pride and arrogance at its zenith. 
The earth is like a spinning top tilted on its axis. The spin gives us day and night, while the tilt provides the seasons. It’s a good thing our scientist are keeping the earth spinning at just the right speed for us, because if it slowed or stopped we would either bake in the heat or freeze in the dark. I’m glad our great scientists are keeping the earth’s axis tilted at just the right angle so that the poles neither freeze nor thaw too much. Oh, that reminds me of the global warming that our scientist are solving by eliminating an insignificant fraction of the CO2 that is produced in the oceans. I’m so glad that our scientist are able to take us to Mars when we have to leave this planet. I don’t understand how it is possible for them to create an atmosphere on Mars, rather than simply clean the existing atmosphere here on earth, but they must know everything. I also don’t understand how they know so much about the other planets, yet haven’t even explored the oceans of this earth, but they can do anything they set their minds to – Right?

I’m hearing a lot about potential catastrophic events that seem imminent and serious. First, I heard sometime ago that our entire water, food, financial, communication, and energy infrastructure could be permanently disabled by a cyber attack or an EMP, (electro magnetic pulse). It is estimated that this catastrophe would result in the death of 90% of the US population within one year. The second catastrophe I heard was of a large volcanic crevasse which opened in the Yellowstone National Park that is indicative of an eruption of a massive volcano under Yellowstone. This volcanic area is the largest in the nation and would make the explosion of Mt. Saint Helens seem 
A bird has a sense of equilibrium in their head that enables the bird to maintain its head in a fixed position irrespective of the bird’s body, wings, tail and feet. This is necessary as the bird flies by moving and positioning it’s wings and tail separately. We are made to travel with feet fixed to the ground, so our equilibrium is referenced to the ground rather than the air. Of course we can fly, swim, dive, roll, climb and move in almost any manner with the devices and instrumentation that we have invented. We were made by God to rule over all the creatures of the earth. The animals have a distinct fear of man accordingly. There is no animal that lives off humans as its prey. The closest
It was asserted that Sigmund Freud didn’t attempt to cure his neurotic patients through psychoanalysis, but merely help them to accept the world as it is. He was not a believer – an agnostic, but he properly assessed the capability of man. To heal is the work of God, which He accomplishes through doctors, right living, and his miraculous intervention. Just because He uses men in His work, the cure does not cease being His. Just as the prophetic word (1 Cor. 14: 24-25), preaching, acts of lovingkindness, or teaching may be used of God in His work – salvation is through God alone. 
Everyone seems to agree that in chance there is hidden great power. The theory of evolution is based on chance events that happen randomly over millions of years. This theory is now generally accepted as fact and forms a basis for the origin of species. I was watching a nature show recently that cited certain animal species that evolved to live on land, but rejected it and returned to the sea. Perhaps this explains the large brain and mental capacity of dolphins that breathe air and are mammals like humans. Could they be the missing link? Might humans be the predecessors of dolphins? Did early men slithered upon shore, become upright, become apes, then a portion of them dove back into the sea and evolved into dolphins? Maybe the laughing sound they make is their laughing at us for remaining

“The sky if falling.” Chicken Little uttered these words over and over and some began to believe her. The lost (an acceptable biblical term referring to those who do not currently believe in God) spew forth a seemingly endless list of pending doom for this world. Here is a brief incomplete list:
I saw a very serious report on a major network national news segment discussing the plans necessary to inhabit Mars as an alternative to Earth. Mars is a dry rock, without a breathable atmosphere, and incapable of sustaining any existing life. Simple common sense shows there is no possibility of making it habitable. The soil and environment will not grow any existing life. Even in a worse case scenario , it would be much easier to clean up earth, all its water, all its air, all its soil, rather than attempt…
