Where Does Faith in Science Stop and Faith in God Begin – It’s a Choice
True story: A man visits his Doctor and after some test he is diagnosed with cancer. Surgery is scheduled and during the surgery the Doctor find that he is full of cancer, much worse that they had anticipated and they can do nothing. They sew him back up and after a short stop in the recovery room, the Doctors give him the results of what they found explaining to him and his family that he has only a short time to live. They tell him to go home and call them if he feels things are progressing or if he has any additional issues but that he should return in one month and they should be able to tell how fast the cancer is spreading and how much time he has left.
The man goes home and together with his family they begin to pray for his health to return.
The man returns one month later and when the Doctors checked him out they look at each other not believing what they are finding. They run more test and finally return to tell the man they cannot find any cancer. They have no explanation. One of the Doctors added; I have seen this happen once before. I cannot explain it. First it is there and then it is gone. The other Doctor added; I know what we saw when we had you opened up. There is just no medical or scientific answer to how this could have happened.
” I know such a man that this happened too. No explanation outside of his prayer asking to be healed. No pills, no drugs, just prayer to God.”
The question is: If we as a human population rely so heavily on Science and stand so firm on the idea that for ever action there is a reaction, that all things can be proven by Science and only after proven will we believe something is true, then what did this just prove? Science tells us he should have died of cancer, but he didn’t. So can Science be wrong at times?
Conclusion: if Science tells us one thing but something else happens then it is a Miracle and yes God exist! However, if one chooses to not believe in the existence of God, that the miracle just happened for what ever reason, then we are still choosing to place our faith in something without a proven explanation. So it does take faith one way or the other.
The follow-up question: how deep have you looked into the possibilities that some of what you have been told may not have real scientific proof behind it? In the doctors case they had the proof that he had cancer and that he would only live a short time. Case after case people died with this type of cancer. But how did it go away? If you dig deep enough you will find other cases where science is defied as something else is the final result.
Whining and Complaining
Why whine and complain?
If all you do is whine and complain about life, then that means you have plenty of time on your hands to make changes. Life offers you a limited amount of time to accomplish the things you want out of life, so learn to use your time wisely, instead of spending it whining and complaining.
The Purpose
Why not be happy? It’s up to you.
The purpose of life is to be happy and if you’re not happy, find out what’s keeping you from being happy and get rid of it!
Change The World
We just have to START if we want to see change!
In order to change the world you have to start by changing who you are! 
What is Life Worth?
“The Beauty Around Us”
Asking a hard question is not what most of us like to do let alone being forced to answer it. It is not what makes us comfortable and generally we avoid them if possible. However, sometimes the question is asked and we have little choice but to answer it. So what is life really worth?
If one is faced with making a decision about the importance of the life we know and the need to protect what we have or what we desire, how would we react?
Would we give our life for one last good meal?
Would we give our life for something we can experience only once?
Would we give our life for our wife or husbands safety?
Would we give our life for our kids safety and future?
Would we give our life for our neighbor in need?
Would we give our life for our country and its freedom?
Would we give our life for freedom around the world?
Would we give our life for our freedom of religion or what we believe in?
Just what is important enough to give our life for or to ask someone else to give theirs for or to just stand by while they do?
Ok, this is a heavy question I know. But how would we each react if faced with making a decision to live or to die trying.
Many lives have been lost over the hundreds of years of wars and feuds. Men and women have died protecting their families. Freedoms have been won and lost in the efforts that cost lives. To give of one’s life is no small deed and should not go unrecognized. Disrespect for those lost lives should not be tolerated. Those who take lives disrespecting others just to help themselves should be stopped. Each of us as people have rights and we should recognize how we attained those rights. For those that have lost their rights we should have compassion. To tolerate continued loss of rights should be condemned and stopped in it tracks.
“freedom isn’t free unless everyone is free”
In the beginning there was one man and one woman whether you believe in God or not. In the beginning there was freedom in the human race. What happened?
To Flip the Coin of Chance
Flipping a coin to make a decision is leaving luck and chance control what will happen or what path one will take. It’s either heads or tails. Heads, we move to the right. Tails, we move to the left. The only thing left is if the coin should land on its side. Then we are faced with indecision. We should all know that if we ride the fence long enough we will fall off but sometimes we try.
In either case, if the coin comes up heads or tail it still takes a level of faith to move forward with that decision. Other wise we would not have flipped a coin. We made a decision to leave everything to the fait of the flip of that coin.
What happens if someone has a coin that has two heads on it and we always call heads? So the coin is flipped in the air and as always we call heads and as it settles on the ground we see it is heads. We may assume that this is the answer and we move forward believing that this is meant to be. That this is the direction we will go, this is what we should place our faith in and we move forward. However, not knowing that it would come up heads no mater what, we have been deceived by the one with the coin. Our life has been directed by someone else that has their own interest at heart. The decision was really not ours. It was stacked in a direction of someone else. We have been deceived!
“When it come to where we place our faith are we flipping a coin?”
Achieve Victory!
Perseverance and faith will drive one to victory! Without either one of them we only stand in one place or wander about wondering why!
We all face daily challenges, but we shouldn’t allow these challenges to deter or discourage us. We should allow them to be a driving force until we achieve that which we set out to do. Too often we miss out on achieving success because we don’t persevere. We give up without realizing how close we are to victory. Remember that victory is achieved through perseverance!
