A Walk Inside the Creation Museum


I found this interesting link on my Digg RSS feed. There has been a lot of talk about the Creation Museum going on in all sorts of places on the 'net. Some are fiercely against it - there was quite a stir to protest against it. On the other hand its backed extensively by the Young Earth Creationists, especially by AnswersInGenesis.org - who I am not very fond of at all.

Whatever your stance, here is a walkthrough the unfinished museum. Take a look around and make up your own mind. I find it quite fascinating, even if it does use a bit of a "we're right and you're hopelessly wrong" tactic in its teaching.

The link again if you missed it:

Calvinist/Arminian debate

I can't actually think of a more tired, more pointless debate than this. I've been looking in to both sides quite heavily and what a struggle its been. I have never felt more demoralized in my entire Christian walk.

In my opinion, its just another doctrine war for theologists - the difference is minimal in your Christian everyday life. No matter which side of the fence you're standing on, you'll still go out and try to help others to find God.

Here are Mike's one point of Calvinism and Arminianism. Sticking to tradition, I've given them the easy-to-remember acronyms H and S (sorry, I couldn't find any 1 letter flowers).

Mike's 1 point of Calvinism:


Hit or Miss
You're either born going to Heaven or Hell. God decides who does and who doesn't.


Mike's 1 point of Arminianism:


Sick
Everyone is sick (and going to Hell). However, if you go to the doctor (God), in his mercy he can decide to make you better and allow you into Heaven.

I'm a Married Man


For those of you who don't know me personally and have been wondering where I've been - I got married on the 27 April and have been away on honeymoon. To the event I've set up a web album that had the original presentation that I was suppose to show at the reception... plus a few new ones from the wedding and the honeymoon. The (full-size) web-album can be seen at http://picasaweb.google.com/stringhandler.
Enjoy it.
