God DIDN'T Create LIFE, According to Genesis 1.20, 24
Creationists ask for evidence that evolution is true.
Well Genesis 1.20, 24 gives it to us.
It reads, "God said 'Let the WATERS bring forth the moving creature..Let the EARTH. bring forth the living creature..' "
In other words God DOESNT do the creating ("bringing forth") of life Himself.
Instead, God delegates the work to NATURE ("the WATERS..the EARTH").
God endows - ENDOWS - Nature with the power to create lifeforms.
So the BIBLE itself supports Theistic EVOLUTION.
Get THAT into your head !!
PS: what do i mean by "endow" ??
Well evolution...

Universe Speaks
True signs -
you know when they are real;
the doing of the cosmic gods,
my messenger comes in the form
of deer.
Again,
a set of random events crash
into one beautifully significant flash,
so blatant, I feel it in the depths of my soul;
I am moved to heights unknown,
as I try not to succumb to awe.
Nothing more enlightening
than transparency!
In my ignorance
I planned to complete your song,
exactly one week from the start,
that night, as we finished up
in raw silence, eyes looked to the sky;
we both...

Wise Innocence
I cannot tell the difference between
feeling empty and feeling numb anymore,
I am missing an abstract piece of life
I cannot clearly fathom -
sipping black coffee in silent thought,
I allow bitterness to take it's course
as eyes reflect on the bottom of my mug,
in them the dark chasm I abhor...
Another beautiful day
with loving souls at my side,
as I sit dull, submerged still
in my first world problems;
what's wrong with me?
do I seek to be dissatisfied?
then why do I find beauty in even
the tiniest of...

If love is blind,
Then the greatest love poems of all time,
are written in the braille of scars.

the Blood of My Soul
My finger was cut and I saw my blood dripping into a pool
I knew my blood was real, no more a mystery
I was warned, old to be careful, but how was I to know
Blood was just a word painted red in my head
I did not believe the truth I could not see
But now I know and I know seeing is not believing
Seeing imparted knowledge of the red liquid flowing within me
My flesh was opened by a lightning bolt one bright and sunny day
But only one tiny drop of red blood seeped out
Still there was a pool of light gathering beside my wound
As the thunder...
I knew my blood was real, no more a mystery
I was warned, old to be careful, but how was I to know
Blood was just a word painted red in my head
I did not believe the truth I could not see
But now I know and I know seeing is not believing
Seeing imparted knowledge of the red liquid flowing within me
My flesh was opened by a lightning bolt one bright and sunny day

Still there was a pool of light gathering beside my wound

Our war
The hands of the clock are crooked,
Time slowly falls away,
A never-ending battle,
We slip from night to day,
A conflict we cant escape,
A struggle each step we take,
Adrift in a sea of chaos,
From this nightmare we cannot wake,
From rage to calm within,
Cycles of rushing and waiting,
A balance none have mastered,
A duel of loving and hating,
Our morality's source unknown,
How do we so freely forgive our sin,
Yet shy away from our virtues,
As we live in a strangers skin,
A contemptible bunch are we, ...
Time slowly falls away,

Cycles of rushing and waiting,
A balance none have mastered,

Shaman dancing
The processional numbers to play
As hidden images of the heavens
With a new start of the theatrics
Unknown six turning into seven,
An elder rite of spring fills the air
Bringing soul of animals walking
Inuit burial in the Siberian graves
Excavation of the soulful talking,
Singular world of transformation
Only a strong shaman to change
Held to not fly off to hyperspace
Precious ancient never to shame,
Powerful evil mask not touched
The inner math will not defame
Barbarous names of dark spirits ...

Closed Minded
How can one
bitch whine
and complain
about
the lack of freedom
within this system
that we live
Yet
you refuse
to allow Freedom
to grow
From Within

The Hard Problem Materialism
Does one
have the memory
of the memory
one is trying
to retrieve
from within
your brain
where they still
haven't proven
it is there
that's where they live

Running As Wolves
On broken knees I walk on thoughts
that echo off the walls of my mind;
electric chaos spurs in my head
mimicking the way I live
- Composure -
I imagine myself a wolf;
my chest beats powerfully
as thick paws break ground;
stronger now,
the needles in the wind & rough terrain
not harder than my impenetrable skin;
hazel eyes steady,
focused inward
on breath,
unshakeable & ready;
I run alone,
I am everything I hear & when near not felt
- Unfazed -
As I approach steadily
toward my...

The ANTICHRIST Does NOT Come Out of Western Europe
People (like Gene Markell) say "the AC will come out of Western Europe."
If we look at Daniel 7.7 - 7.8, you will see that ten nations ("10 horns") in Western Europe get INVADED by another nation ("another horn").
(It "comes up among" them.)
Now this means the invading nation must be from OUTSIDE Western Europe, why?
Because the 10 nations that get invaded cover Western Europe.
I mean ALL of Western Europe = the victim nations.
So by default, the invader nation HAS TO BE FROM OUTSIDE of Western Europe.
Try to wrap your minds around that point.

Across the tones
Do/ minus, as the Absolute made of one
Si/ der, thus these Galaxies cosmic spun
La/ ctea, our Milkyway was made of star
So/ l, the Solar system laid in heaven art
Fa/ta, so Planets ring into celestial verse
Mi/ crocosmos, our Earth, small universe
Re/ gina Coeli, by the Moon trifecta done
Do/ minus, as return to the Absolute one
Si/ der, thus these Galaxies cosmic spun
La/ ctea, our Milkyway was made of star
