  • Snowflakes are amazing.

    When my boys were small, I used to freeze sheets of black construction paper, and then when it snowed, we would take the paper outside and let the snowflakes fall on the paper, and then look at them with a magnifying glass. Pretty cool.

    This was Wednesday's science lesson in first grade.  We also looked at some computer images similar to those posted by Matthew.  
     St. Francis Xavier threw a Crucifix into the sea, at once calming the waves.  Upon reaching the shore, the Crucifix was returned to him by a crab with a curious cross pattern on its shell.

    Okay, enough of the funny stuff.


    I like to read the comments by readers on these kinds of pages.  You never know what you're gonna get...................

    (Remember, this is from a discussion sparked by a few electron microscope photos of snowflakes!!)

    @ 8andimpala and ”Dr” J.,
    I find people like you very intriguing, to say the least. Why do you even take time putting quotations around the word God..just because you dont believe that there is a God? I see this so often —- why is it so un-cool to respect Christians..Im going to go out on a limb and say that you wouldn’t mock a Hindu, nor a Buddhist, nor a Jєω for their beliefs… Why should anyone respect you for being a Scientologist if your not willing to respect others who are marveling at what their God created ? Its so crazy. You think your being so open minded and intelligent, but your your comments prove how close-minded and intolerant you are of differing peoples and their religion. It is differing believes and different people who make life interesting. Its the fact that other people disagree with you that make your opinions remotely valuable. Furthermore you are an obviously an elite member of society who knows that the 99 percent of the world who believes in a god is wrong and stupid.

    And to those of you who want to blame God for creating cripples or starving babies…seriously??? seriously???? so the reason you mock other peoples reasons for living, is because poverty exist ? because their God isnt a super hero from a cartoon who swoops down and saves everything and everyone ? because science exists and you got played a crumby hand then that means that you have to have this hatred for what/who other people fall asleep praying ?? get real? to the cripple, what are you going to say to the other cripple whos entire life revolves around God , the only reason to him/her that she got through the cruelty of middle school is because of God alone.. ?

    I am not even a strong believer.. in anything.. but I find it disgusting, all of this hatred and intolerance and UNTHOUGHTFULNESS that gets thrown around on a regular basis.. and sorry, but I know there are a lot of hypocritical Christians, hypocritical Jєωs, hypocritical anybodies… but the group of scientist out there who claim to not believe in God, you spend the most time on these forums talking about God. its ironic.

    The one that's the most captivating to me is the first image they show:








    I think these things are God's way of telling us,

    "You see, nobody has to show Me how to be creative..."
     


    I AM ---- Creative By My Very Nature.  

    I AM ---- creativity per se.
