Thoughts on Science

I keep getting asked, "What or How does Science fit in with faith?" Not my Christian faith, not my Jewish beliefs, nor my Islamic beliefs, but My faith and My beliefs. 

So... Science, to me, is just us trying to understand the world God already understands.  
It’s curiosity with a notebook.  
It’s wonder with a ruler.  
It’s our way of saying,  
“This place is too beautiful not to study.”

I don’t see science fighting God.  
I see science catching up.

When we learn how stars burn,  
or how cells heal,  
or why gravity holds us together
I don’t feel less spiritual.  
I feel more amazed.

Science is the part of us that wants to know how things work.  
Faith is the part of us that wants to know why they matter.  
And I think both are honest.  
Both are needed.  
Both are gifts.

So when I look at science,  
I don’t see a threat.  
I see a conversation.  
A slow, patient uncovering  
of a world that was made with intention.

Science doesn’t replace God.  
It just helps us notice Him.

A Plea to the Keepers of the Flame By: JoshM

America is trembling again.   Not from storms   but from the sound of hearts breaking   in every direction at once.   And so I lift my voice   not as a prophet   not as a politician   but as a son of Abraham   a child of Adam   a believer in the Most High   who still whispers through the cracks of our chaos   Love one another.   To the Pope   to the priests   to the pastors and ministers   to the Chief Rabbis Ashkenazi and Sephardic   to the Grand Imam of al Azhar   to the Grand Muftis   to every shepherd of every flock   who carries Scripture in one hand   and the weight of the world in the other   I am begging you.   Lay the hate down.   Lay the judgment down.   Lay the fear down.   Open your arms   the way Heaven has always open...

What I Believe About Women to be True.

I believe women are the first teachers of the world.   Not because they asked for that role, but because life trusted them with it. When I speak about women, I’m not talking about a category of people. I’m talking about the architects of my becoming. The ones who held the line when everything else fell apart. The ones who taught me that strength can whisper and still shake the earth. I believe women carry a kind of wisdom men spend their whole lives trying to understand. A wisdom that doesn’t need to be loud to be life saving. A wisdom that doesn’t demand attention but still commands respect. A wisdom that sees through the mask you wear and chooses to speak to the person underneath. I believe women deserve safety without having to earn it.   Respect without having to fight for it.   Love without having to shrink for it. I believe a woman’s voice should never be treated like background noise. Her boundaries should never be treated like suggestions. Her dream...

The Ten through The Two

1. “You shall have no other gods before Me.”   Through the red words I hear: Love God above all else. Not just avoid idols, but make God the center of your heart and purpose.   “You cannot serve both God and money.” (Matthew 6:24) To me, Jesus wants us to love one another as we love ourselves, as he love us. If you have the means and the money, help those who have less than you. Don’t love your money more than you love yourself or your neighbors. We literally live in neighborhoods. It’s coded in our DNA to love one another. We always find each other and choose to build our homes surrounded by our neighbors. Why can’t we just love like Jesus does? If you have love in your heart for all,  Then you know my lord, you may call it by a different name, and thats ok. Love is the spirit we all follow and it goes by many names.  2. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image.”   Through the red words: Worship in spirit and truth, not through symbols or ...
