Updated: Finally.
I was reading Discover Magazine, a scientific journal today and I found an interesting article. I thought it might bring up some good discussion...
This is an excerpt from the February 2007 issue of Discover. The title of the article is Blinded By Science and is written by Bruno Maddox (presumably an atheist).
"For the record, I have even less patience now for the creationist agenda...because I now suspect that they don't really believe the falsehoods with which they are trying to flood the world. But at the same time I got the clear impression that they don't have any choice. I thought I was going to meet people who love God and therefore hate science. What I found instead were people who love God but who have at least a pretty serious crush on science as well, and thus find themselves in the...nightmare of waking up every day and trying to believe in both. They will - they must - spend their lives, and brains, trying to think of ways that patently false ideas can be made to seem, if not actually true, at least not quite so patently false. It is, I fear, a doomed exercise, but it's a heroic one as well, it pains me to admit.
...Day after day [creationist scientists] beat on, boats against the current of truth, borne back ceaselessly into being just completely, utterly wrong."
How can someone with such knowledge turn such a blind eye to all the information - all the proof - of God and Jesus. How can a journalist and scientist blatantly refuse to acknowledge that maybe, somewhere, God does exist? Is it our fault as Christians that this man, Bruno Maddox, has not been saved?What are your thoughts?

We're all guilty of watching schoolmates and even close friends take the wrong road and believe that what they are doing is correct. It's horrible but it's true, when was the last time you preached to someone at school who you knew wasnt a Christian, Who might shun you. I truthfully can't say I do... it's sad
I sometimes feel like I am letting moments pass me by. Moments that I could be preaching or just sharing some faith. I have quite a few athiest friends and aquaintances, but I feel as if God is just off limits when I talk to them. Sure, I've brought up the subject of religion or faith a few times, but I just feel as if my story or what I have to say has no relivance to them.
It's hard to muster up enough courage, but it has to be done. We have to push ourselves.
