Thought For The Day by John Jaeger, MBA

A few of the dozens of representative quotes in my files from scholars dissenting from neo-Darwinism:

"My attempts to demonstrate evolution by an experiment carried on for more than 40 years have completely failed. At least I should hardly be accused of having started from any preconceived anti-evolutionary standpoint."—*H. Nilsson, Synthetic Speciation (1953), p. 31.

"We still do not know the mechanics of evolution in spite of the over-confident claims in some quarters, nor are we likely to make further progress in this by the classical methods of paleontology or biology; and we shall certainly not advance matters by jumping up and down shrilling, `Darwin is god and I, So-and-so, am his prophet.'" —*Errol White, Proceedings of the Linnean Society, London, 177:8 (1966).

"The irony is devastating. The main purpose of Darwinism was to drive every last trace of an incredible God from biology. But the theory replaces God with an even more incredible deity—omnipotent chance."—*T. Rosazak, Unfinished Animal (1975), pp. 101-102.

One snark of unwarranted intellectual condescension from atheists is  “Who made God?”  Professor of Mathematics, John Lennox, answers it brilliantly: 
“If somebody made God, then He wouldn’t be God, would He.”

Another atheist snark is “The argument from incredulity,” as if asking questions were not itself the foundation of science. Science begins with asking “How?”, “Why?” and “What?” usually to increase the total of human or at least personal knowledge. Genuine scientific discoveries are almost always skeptical, more so to the scientists who discovered them. Take Carl Sagan’s statement at the beginning of Chapter 9, for example.
[ “Astronomical spectroscopy is an almost magical technique.  It amazes me still.”  - Carl Sagan (Cosmos)]

Just so… one thing is quite sure, which is, no “quantum vacuum” made matter, energy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and the wonders I will explore with you.  A steady-state Universe was once the preeminent scientific belief, which means that the Universe is constant and eternal.  We now know that this is a scientific impossibility.  Nature’s God, the Maker of science, is not impossible, however.  He is essential.

“Indeed, those who disbelieve among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the Fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. They are the worst of creatures.”  - Surah 98 (Al Bayyinah), Ayah 6

“You are the best people ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin al maʿrūf (what is right), forbid al munkar (what is wrong), and believe in Allah.”  - Qur’an 3:110 — Surah Āl ʿImrān

“I have been made victorious through terror.” – (Bukhari 4.52.220 - Mohammad)

“One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory.” – Houari Boumedienne, President of Algeria, at the U.N. in 1974

Summary in final few minutes:

 Stupidity is energetically cheaper than intelligence.
It enables obedience.  (Herd mentality)
It creates social cohesion. ("Team player," instead of "Troublemaker")
It eliminates self-doubt.  Society rewards self-confidence.
It's easier to manipulate (as in schools).
Intelligence is punished; stupidity is rewarded.
Stupidity reproduces faster, genetically and culturally.

(This reminded me of one of my websites which features confirming graphs.  Ironically my website shows the failure of Darwinian evolution, which assures mankind of continuous "improvement."  Increasing stupidity is the opposite.  This is to be expected since Charles Darwin acknowledged that he was an extremely mediocre student, and his father expressed grave doubt in Charles' future achievements. “You care for nothing but shooting, dogs, and rat‑catching, and you will be a disgrace to yourself and all your family.”)

Herd mentality is exhibited in my thread "WHAT IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE FACT YOU CAN POST HERE?"
THe Herd has dumbed it down to their favorite pies.

Herd mentality is exhibited in my thread "WHAT IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE FACT YOU CAN POST HERE?"
THe Herd has dumbed it down to their favorite pies.

Those posters weren't dumbing it down.  They were exhibiting kindness by overcoming bitterness with pleasantness.

Romans 12:21

That thread is "The Most Incredible Fact."  Tell everyone what is "bitter" about "incredible facts."
It is considered a violation of Terms Of Service to derail threads by writing posts that have nothing to do with the Subject of the thread.  They and you heartily mocked the Subject.  That was anything but "pleasant."  You frequently gaslight me in bitterness, and then have the temerity to quote Scriptures.  You have relentlessly stalked and harassed me and the Owner has let you.  Placing you on IGNORE has only ignited your stalking and harassment.

Submitted to the California Post (New York Post offshoot) for publication tomorrow:

"But Trump was not owned by this faction of the right - any more than he is owned by Israel." - No One Can Control Him, by RIch Lowry in today's column  Just so.  Leaders lead, and followers follow.  Democrats have to do focus groups and public surveys to follow public opinion rather than make hard decisions.  Suck lack of leadership would have doomed the founding of America.  Our early Americans were evenly divided over going to war with what was the most powerful army on earth.  One third were pro-revolution, one third were pro-Great Britain, and one third were undecided.  Our leaders, thankfully, were decisive and victorious, like Trump.

The Jews are not demonstrating with their dead on the streets, yelling and chanting and asking for revenge, the Jews are not promoting the brain washing of their children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims.

The Jews don't high-jack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, the Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels. The Jews don't have the economic strength that comes with vast Petroleum reserves nor the possibilities to force the world's media to see "their side" of the question.

Perhaps if the world's Muslims would invest more in normal education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems we could all live in a better world.

Since I am single and live alone, my driver's license would offer little help ICE (In Case of Emergency).  I printed my daughters' names and phone numbers underneath "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY" on 100-pound card stock, cut it to 1" x 2", and taped it face up to the back of my driver's license, on top, where it can be flipped up to see license content.

“Gratitude sharpens the mind the way exercise strengthens the body — quietly, steadily, and with cumulative force.” - John Jaeger

Every day offers at least one moment that could be dismissed as ordinary but is, in truth, a small miracle:

a breath taken without effort,

a conversation that lands just right,

a kindness you didn’t expect,

or the simple fact that you woke up with another chance to do good.

Gratitude is not passive.
It is active perception — the discipline of noticing what is excellent, admirable, or quietly sustaining.

Scripture puts it plainly:
“In everything give thanks.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Modern psychology echoes the same truth: gratitude rewires the brain toward resilience, clarity, and hope.

So today, take ten seconds — just ten — and name one thing that is good, true, or beautiful in your life.
You will feel the impact immediately.
And if you make it a habit, you will feel it permanently.

"As we make progress understanding the expanding Universe, the problem itself expands, so that the solution always seems to recede from us."   - Steven Weinberg, Physicist (Brilliant Creations - The Wonder of Nature and Life, Chapter 1, "Limitless Discovery")

Our Brilliant Creator arranged life for us tutorially, such that our earliest forbears were able to learn the basics of life they needed, and successive generations would always have more to learn to improve their lives and give them amazement and joy without limit.  This is only possible because humans have multiple tutorially arranged means of communication starting with speech, whereby we learn from all those before us and build on it.  Each new means of communication, from written language, through parchment, hand-scripted books, telegraph, landline phones, cell phones, main frame computers, desktops to the internet, builds on all those before it.

“Be strong and courageous.” — Joshua 1:9
“Let us not grow weary in doing good.” — Galatians 6:9

One strength acts. The other persists. Together, they form character.
Every day gives you a chance to practice one or the other — sometimes both.
The remarkable thing is that strength grows the same way faith does, by being used.
