From the first Lecture in Lectures on faith: "15 By this we understand that the principle of power, which existed in the bosom of God, by which the worlds were framed, was faith; and that it is by reason of this principle of power, existing in the Deity, that all created things exist—so that all thi...

Dastardly stem It is clear that the universe is big and old. It is not clear whether it has had previous cycles,interrelates with something else or has a future beyond dissolution. It is not at all clear that that a creator God does not interfere with the process going on. We have no way of knowing....

Oh, it’s definitely an aspen leaf. I own the young tree that it came off of. It spent most of the summer putting out typical, fairly dainty aspen leaves but was nearly defoliated during a late-season wind storm (the town next door recorded winds above 90 mph). At that point it kicked out a few of t...

8 inches?? :o That IS huge for Aspen! Wait ... I’m a dirty rotten liar. More like 7.25” when I actually measure. That’s still pretty big!

I am a total skeptic about he mechanism proposed but I can see an interest in how a persons thoughts ...

Does God play three dimensional golf like we do? I doubt it. But he may play golf. Would it look like golf to us? Are there are a lot of other things He does differently? Does he put the milk in his cup before he puts the tea in - or the other way round? Or, in some wondrous multidimensional way do...
