Isaac Newton, Ben Franklin, and Galileo are, somewhere, clutching their midsections in paroxysms of nausea. Cotton Mather may be firing up the barbecue in anticipation of having company.
Bansai...!

What ‘establishment clause’? There is no such clause in our Constitution! It does not exist. That statement just shows the ignorance of ‘some’ of the American people."
Might wanna give that mirror of yours a spit and polish, chickapee.

“Some things can not be explained by science. Take for example, rainbows. Rainbows are a mystery and you can not touch them, just like god. Despite this fact, they are still there even though there is no scientific explanation for them. So next time you find yourself doubting your faith, think of god as a rainbow. I know that this can be a difficult concept for some of you to grasp. It is just like air you can't see it but you know its there”

the rainbow analogy is something to ponder.
i have heard people say that if god exists then why cant you see him. well, that is a strange way of looking at it. i actually like strange views and strange questions. i have actually made a career out of it.
my response to that question is based in the book of Romans. Romans 1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
im sure i just lost a few people reading this, but its what i believe by faith. i cant understand the world or the shape its in, but i can trust in this truth, God is real, the evidence is all around us.
ps i like rainbows :)
Well, that's really the meaning of faith, isn't it--things not seen? If God exists, he doesn't need a marquee and a brass band to announce himself. He's smarter, much more subtle, and much more comfortable with himself than that. It's our challenge to see him in the details, as it were....;)
I've said it before; I'm an agnostic -- I think there is every possibility that there is something greater than us somewhere out there, but I'm not evolved enough to define what that might be. Anything is possible.
And I like rainbows, too, Brock. ;)
