Just a Quick Update


I'm still reading the bible, but I think my goal is a bit unrealistic at this point. I've missed far too many days. I might work towards revising my reading schedule as I don't want to spend over a year reading the bible, but don't expect an entry every day. To put it in perspective, my journal entries can take anywhere from 20 minutes to a couple hours to complete. I'm very thorough in my process. And now that I've started a full time job and I've just moved back home to where my amazing boyfriend is (who I want to spend time with), doing a daily entry just isn't feasible. I'll try to get as many done as I can, but for the moment, maybe expect a few a week instead of daily. I'll update as often as I can. I'm not doing a bible entry today by the way.
Another exciting thing you can expect on this journal:
I'm sure you've all heard of Stephen Hawking's upcoming book that declares there is no reason to believe god created the universe anymore, but if not, click here. I posted it to my facebook this morning, and my mom commented, saying, "Bri, this doesn't prove anything. All he is saying is that numerous theories would prove that the universe was not created by a god. He doesn't support that with evidence. No matter how many times he says it he can only offer theories. I challenge you to watch the DVDs by Steven Meyer and then refute them with evidence. I believe I have an irrefutable argument and you have yet to arise with a rebuttal."
My mom has mentioned these dvd's before, and I think these are something I should watch just so gets off my case. I also think this journal would be an adequate place to write down what I think about these dvds, so you can look forward to that. In the meantime, I'd like to again apologize for the break between posts lately. Life is just getting in the way for the most part.
Have a good day!

No one here is going to be upset with you for having a life. Go have your life... be happy... get around to the bible when you have time for it. We'll all love to hear your insights when they come.

Congrats on the new job!!!

It amuses me that Stephen Hawking and you have to provide evidence to back up your theories/rebuttals but I'm pretty certain there's going to be a lack of credible evidence in a DVD by an Intelligent Design proponent.

I look forward to any posts you have the time to compose (whether about the bible or these DVDs), you are putting a hell of a lot more work into your bible reading and analysing than I manage and I think that whenever you do produce a post it's worth waiting for.

Intelligent design is about the dumbest thing ever. I have read up on it quite a bit and lots of it can easily be disproved. Including that annoying "The eye never could have evolved on it's own" bs we always get.

One of the things about science that makes it more credible then religion is science never claims to have all the answers. We are constantly learning more and more as well advance. That is much more believable then saying our invisible daddy made everything.
