well serene, you and i have something in common, we're both desended from wealthy family, but neither of us are living off of the wealth now, i can trace my ancestry back to a wealthy family that lived in the virginia/nc area, and thomas jefferson actually proposed to one of my great, great, etc,- grandmothers, well, needless to say, she turned him down, she was a part of that wealthy family i was talking about, it's a great story, and my great grandfather on my grandmother's side was i believe the inventor of the drive-by shooting, he was a gun collector, and what he would do in his spare time is have either my grandmother, my great-aunt, or my great grandmother drive the car, and he would sit in the backseat and shoot the rabbits runnin' around outside,
in reference to what animelee was saying, the first scientists that we hear about in history, now i mean scientists, not greek philosophers, were actually christians, and when you think about it those laws that they proved also apply to the nature of God, the normal human way of thinking is to believe that you are what is important in your life, that in a manner of speaking you are the center of your universe, but according to what Jesus taught, life is not to be about us, it is to be about God, like the difference between the Geocentric (earth_centered solar system) and Heliocentric (sun-centered solar system), Jesus, the son of God, is to be the center of our lives, just as the sun in the sky is the center of our solar system, even the law of gravity, things that have greater mass have greater gravity right, well God, who is greater than everything, wants to draw all of us to a relationship with Him, it's just a matter of looking at it, the only reason why the church back then was opposed to these changes was 'cus they themselves were more focused upon what they wanted for themselves than what God wanted, and now i am done, later all
'nuff said
