It has been said that a wise man proportions his belief to the evidence.  We all have the rights to our own opinions; however facts remain factual even if they were to go against our opinions. God who endowed us with the mind – with sense, reason and intellect among others – has meant that we use it to arrive at the right verdict by weighing all the relevant evidence. Refusing to believe something in the face of facts is not skepticism, it is the height of credulity or if you prefer gullibility. Credulity is belief against evidence, facts and truths.  Let us stride forward towards freedom (Jesus said in John 8:32″ And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”) as God has intended– governed by the light of reasons, evidence, knowledge, facts and truths  and not live in the shadows of credulity concerning creations around us . Through all of Creations, God’s wisdom, power and majesty is proclaimed clearly and it reverberates loudly (if only we care to listen) throughout the corridors of time. ~ Cheong Kok Weng

The great difficulty is to get modern audiences to realize that you are preaching Christianity solely and simply because you happen to think it true; they always suppose you are preaching it because you like it or think it good for society or something of that sort. Now a clearly maintained distinction between what the Faith actually says and what you would like it to have said or what you understand or what you personally find helpful or think probable, forces your audience to realize that you are tied to your data just as the scientist is tied by the results of the experiments; that you are not just saying what you like. This immediately helps them realize that what is being discussed is a question about objective fact — not gas about ideals and points of view. ~ C.S. Lewis

When you argue against God you are arguing against the very power that makes you able to argue at all: it is like cutting off the branch you are sitting on. ~ C.S. Lewis

The flying gurnards are a family, Dactylopteridae, of marine fish notable for their greatly enlarged pectoral fins. The pectoral fins are normally held against the body, but when threatened the fins are expanded in to scare predators.  Their name is derived from the French word ‘gurnard’ meaning to grunt, for the grunting sound this fish makes.  Since they cannot literally fly though and as they have heavy, protective, scales and another alternative name given by some is – helmet gurnards.

God’s handiwork is evident – sun, moon, stars & all of creations, proclaim His wisdom and power that reverberates through the corridors of time.  ~ Cheong Kok Weng

The Whirlpool Galaxy (also known as Messier 51a, M51a, or NGC 5194) is an interacting[6] grand-design[7] spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. Recently it was estimated to be 23 ± 4 million light-years from the Milky Way Galaxy,[3] but different methods yield distances between 15 and 35 million. Messier 51 is one of the best known galaxies in the sky.[8] The galaxy and its companion (NGC 5195) are easily observed by amateur astronomers, and the two galaxies may even be seen with binoculars.[9] The Whirlpool Galaxy is also a popular target for professional astronomers, who study it to further understand galaxy structure (particularly structure associated with the spiral arms) and galaxy interactions…http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whirlpool_Galaxy
