Choosing a Messiah

Some experts say there never was a Jesus. They conclude He is pure fiction. A little research into accurate historical records, however, confirms He was very real. There was a Jesus who walked the earth. If anything, one might even argue there were actually too many.

Space--The Final Frontier

The world is turning into concrete and steel. For generations now, there has been a steady flow of people, moving from the country to the big city. In 2008, we hit a landmark statistic—over half of the people on the planet were urbanized. In the United States, 80.7 % had chosen the urban life.

And the percentage is growing all over the world. Some predict that in order to keep up with this global shift, between now and 2050 we will have to build one new city every five days.

It’s not just that we’re growing in number.

They actually become victims of their overwhelming numbers and in their eagerness to move from one place to another, accidentally shove some of their fellow lemmings over the edge. Also stars don’t twinkle. Starlight is diffracted by our atmosphere, ricocheting like a pinball, creating only the illusion of twinkling.
