One of my modern day heroes, theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, has finally said something that I disagree with. He said that God did not create the Universe. Ok Dr. Hawking is not perfect, nor is he prescient, but he tripped over a BIG boulder with that statement. Hawking says in his new book Grand Design that God is irrelevant and our universe followed inevitably from the laws of nature. The only problem with this argument is that God created the laws of the Universe and governs the universe. God is real and always will be. No matter how intelligent Hawking is, he can't do away with God by the stroke of a pen.

Some moron wants to burn the Koran
I haven't written here since March simply because I didn't have the time and so many other things seemed to have priority. But I have to say something about Dove World Outreach Center church pastor Terry Jones and his intention to set alight the holy book of the Muslim church on 9/11/2010. Now there's a Christian act if I have ever heard of one, Mr. Jones. Oh yes, I was definitely being sarcastic.
No doubt the ninth anniversary of 9/11 will be emotional. It will bring back many terrible memories. But please thinking that burning the Koran will something be a cathartic release of all out pent up dislike of those despicable acts and their consequences. It simply won't do and it is absolutely stupid to think it will. To burn the Koran is a terrible thing to do.
If Christ himself stood before us, do you think for a minute that he would condone such an act? Not in any way! Not in this life or the next. 9/11 was committed by a bunch of murdering thugs who happened to be from one specific religion. And MOST people in that religion think the acts they committed were despicable just like we do. So why don't we just alieneate very other one and burn their holy book. Pastor Jones and those that follow his lead are no more Christian than a Genghis Khan.
