Christian author

Who is your favourite Christian author? Which all kind of books do you generally read?

mattithyahu I would have to say that N.T. Wright and C.S. Lewis are my favs. Both are extremely intelligent and have amazing words of wisdom to share. They are both able to expound on theology in a way that people can understand and dwell on.

Question about star formation

jwfarrimond @jwfarrimond (4473) 16 Jan 08

OK this is a question for any professional astronomers out there. I know that stars form by condensing out of clouds of dust and gas and that this process can be observed to be taking place in say the Orion nebula. What I'm...

mattithyahu It completely depends on the nebula in which it is formed. If there is material there, it will condense.

mattithyahu Sorry, but "Planet X" doesn't exist. Scientists used to think that there was another planet beyond Pluto (which now isn't a planet either), but they have realized that there isn't based on more accurate measurements of Pluto and Neptune. Eris is slightly...

mattithyahu I think my favorite is when Jim kept adding nickels to Dwight's phone to make it heavier and then took them all out at once so he punched himself in the face. Oh good times.

mattithyahu Elizabeth is always having to defend reality. Rosie and Behar are SO far left that they continue to spout nonsense (can anyone say 9/11 conspiracy theories??) and Elizabeth has to try to bring some rationality. Rosie is the one that continues to ignore what is...

The argument of God existence

What is the best argument to prove that God is exist? It doesn’t matter what your religion is, please share your argument here.

6 responses •

1 person

mattithyahu I don't think God CAN be proven (at least in scientific terms). I am a devout Christian and completely believe there is plenty of evidence to say that God does indeed exist, but I don't think God is out to be proven because that removes any sort of faith in...

mattithyahu I have been a huge fan of AMD for a very long time and think they make incredible processors, especially when you look at their price compared to Intel. That being said, even though you will pay a bit more, the Intel Core 2 Duos are amazing. I, personally,...

mattithyahu Really the only thing you have to worry about is security, but if you use 128 or 256 bit encryption there should never be any problems. The only other issue I can think of would be range. If your computers are spread WAY out there might be connection issues...

mattithyahu I like the overall look of the theme. The subtitle is a little faint and hard to read. The "Home. About. Links." doesn't link to anything. I don't know if this is crucial or not (but it might help with search engines), it seems like the domain name should...
