More From C. S. Lewis

The very beginning of genesis tells us that god created man in order to give him dominion over fish and fowl and all creatures. of course, genesis was written by a man, not a horse. there is no certainty that god actually did grant man dominion over other creatures. what seems more likely, in fact, is that man invented god to sanctify the dominion that he usurped for himself over the cow and the horse.

In the first place a philosophical proposition must be general. it must not deal specially with things on the surface of the earth, or within the solar system, or with any other portion of space and time. . . . this brings us to a second characteristic of philosophical propositions, namely that they must be a priori. a philosophical proposition must be such as can neither be proved nor disproved by empirical evidence. . . . philosophy, if what has been said is correct, becomes indistinguishable from logic as that word has now come to be used.

I have always thought that heaven is a place for people who had had a good life, but that is not true. god is merciful and way too good to make it so. the heaven is just a place for people who could not be really happy while living on earth. i was once told that people who commit suicide are taken back on earth to repeat life from the very beginning because if they did not like it once, it did not mean they would not like it the next time. but those who did not fit in on earth at all, ended up here. everyone comes to heaven in their own way.

Genesis 8:22 as long as the earth endures, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never cease. i believe [without evidence] that is the infallible word of god and that's the way it is going to be for his creation. the earth will end only when god declares its time to be over. man will not destroy this earth. this earth will not be destroyed by a flood.

This is a huge step toward unraveling genesis chapter 1, verse 1-what happened in the beginning. this is a genesis machine. it'll help to recreate the most glorious event in the history of the universe.

In these days of conflict between ancient and modern studies, there must surely be something to be said for a study which did not begin with pythagoras, and will not end with einstein, but is the oldest and the youngest of all.

You know, i am sorry for the poor fellows that haven't got labs to work in.
Sorry Science Labs
Houses were knocked down; streets broken through and stopped; deep pits and trenches dug in the ground; enormous heaps of earth and clay thrown up; buildings that were undermined and shaking, propped by great beams of wood. in short, the yet unfinished and unopened railroad was in progress.
