Palin Announces Resignation on Video


I found a couple of videos of reports of the resignation of Sarah Palin as governor of Alaska. I think it's interesting to contrast Fox News' presentation versus CNN's


Fox News:


CNN:




I have no idea where this is going. We need to pray.

Sunday Quote: Isaac Newton on the Bible - Apologetics 315


Once again we have a great quote from a noted, world-famous scholar from Apologetics 315. This week its Isaac Newton

Sunday Quote: Isaac Newton on the Bible - Apologetics 315:

“I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.”

- Sir Isaac Newton



Isaac Newton is considered one of the greatest scientist ever. From his 3 laws of motion, you can derive all of classical mechanics in physics.

1. Object stay at rest or stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force
2. Force = change in momentum over change in time - or more famous - force = mass times acceleration.
3. For ever action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

He was the first to propose the inverse-square law that correctly predicts how the force of gravitation (and electric) fields decrease as you move away from the source. He is credited as one of the men who simultaneous developed derivative calculus! God used this man to contribute much to our knowledge of his creation. While I disagree with some of his theology (he rejected the Trinity as a Biblical doctrine for example) and although he studied mysticism and alchemy, I still admire him a great deal. He was a great scientist and he believed the Bible was true even though none of us completely understand it. He endeavered to understand it just as much he struggled to understand things like gravity and motion.

What Hollywood Believes - Hugh Hefner


This quote from Hefner comes as no surprise but its interesting to look into anyway.

"If a man has a right to find God in own way, he has the right to go the devil in his own way also... Religious leaders can attempt to persuade us of the correctness of their beliefs - they have this right, and indeed it is expected of them. They have no right, however, to attempt in any way to force their belief on others."

I halfway agree with Hefner. The Bible tells us that we don't get to go to God in our own way. Jesus is the only way. This does not mean that there aren't multiple paths, only that they all go through Jesus Christ. I agree that we have no right to force anyone to agree with us but we should warn and inform as much as we can.
