Sometimes when I am studying evolution, I take a step back and worship my Lord because I am so in awe.
A college student raised as a young-earth creationist shares his story of coming to understand and appreciate God's evolving creation.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
While reading about and studying the processes that gave rise to this astonishing world, please don't forget that it is beautiful. It is not merely mechanics, but poetry.
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
BioLogos president Deb Haarsma responds to Ken Ham's recent comments about Hugh Ross, and pleads for a more gracious conversation between Christians on issues of faith and science.
The 1930 showdown between evolutionist Schmucker and creationist Rimmer generated a lot of heat but shed very little light on the real issues behind the debate.
Recent high-school graduate Jacob shares about his journey from young-earth creationism to evolutionary creationism, and how his faith was challenged and strengthened along the way.
Musician Michael Gungor talks about the recent controversy over the evolution of his views on evolution, science, and biblical authority.
The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Children's books are more than stories. They can become familiar narratives children listen to over and over. So it's worth asking - Are the books we're reading doing a good job of portraying God and His Creation?
When you are in church, do you act and speak differently than when you are in school? Do you tend to compartmentalize what you learn about in Biology class from what you learn about in Sunday School?
Russell Crowe as Noah was no superhero. He was very human—perhaps too human for those who'd prefer he remain in the flannel graph world of our Sunday School stories.
Because BioLogos accepts the scientific evidence for the age of the earth and common ancestry, Ham believes we are undermining the Bible and denying its authority. However, the authority of the Bible is key for all that we do at BioLogos.

The United States was in the heart of the Civil War 150 years ago this year.
While Maryland, a border state, was forced to remain in the Union, the dominant sentiment of Southern Maryland's white power structure and its slave-holding economy went with the Confederacy.
By 1863, Union forces were frequent visitors in Calvert, Charles and St. Mary's counties. That year, the Union established a military hospital and then a prisoner-of-war camp at Point Lookout, at the southern tip of St. Mary's County.
There were recruiting stations for black troops established after July 1863 at Forrest Wharf and Leonardtown in St. Mary's, at Benedict in Charles and at Lower Marlboro in Calvert. The U.S. War Department offered $300 for owners who turned over their slaves for recruitment.
Just as owners feared would happen with the election of Abraham Lincoln, slavery, which was established by Colonial Maryland law in 1664, was crashing down. The institution would formally end in Maryland with the third state constitution, which went into effect Nov. 1, 1864, according to the Maryland Manual, after the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves in Confederate states.
Crystallizing the sentiments of the area in the presidential election of 1860, a total of eight men in Southern Maryland voted for Abraham Lincoln, one vote each in Calvert and St. Mary's counties and six in Charles.
Slavery and forced labor had been part of daily life in the tobacco plantations of the region for almost 200 years in Maryland. Voters didn't want to give up that system to a man they saw as a Northern abolitionist.
"This was the Old South, the lifestyle, the life, the plantations, the agrarian economy," said Brad Gottfried, president of the College of Southern Maryland, who has written eight books on the Civil War. He moved to Southern Maryland in 2006 from New Jersey.
"This was the South. There were plantations. You didn't have many residents going north," he said. "And there was a lot of communication between Virginia and Southern Maryland, a natural affinity."
By 1860, there were approximately 46,000 slaves in the Southern Maryland counties and Prince George's, Anne Arundel and Montgomery, according to the Maryland State Archives.
Cultivating tobacco doesn't take a lot of land, but it does require a lot of labor. In the 1860 U.S. Census, there were 3,997 whites counted, 4,609 slaves and 1,841 free African-Americans in Calvert County. In Charles County, the number of whites was 5,796 to 9,653 slaves and 1,068 free African-Americans. In St. Mary's, there were slightly more whites than slaves, 6,798 to 6,519, and 1,866 free African-Americans.
By 1860, slavery as a national issue could no longer be ignored. The United States continued to grow, and Northern and Southern lawmakers fought to keep some kind of political balance as residents of new territories could vote to perpetuate slavery in new states.
The Supreme Court, in the Dred Scott decision of 1857, ruled that slaves and all African-Americans were not U.S. citizens but were merely an "ordinary article of merchandise," according to the opinion written by Roger B. Taney, chief justice of the court and a Calvert County native. A Democratic delegation later in 1860 in Leonardtown called for Taney to run for president, rather than the other Democrats on the national ticket.
Earlier that year in St. Mary's County, editors John Franklin King and James S. Downs, also a Leonardtown attorney, wrote an editorial titled "Federal Law and Northern Opinion" on Jan. 12, 1860, in the St. Mary's Beacon newspaper, a vocal supporter of Southern interests. They complained that the federal fugitive slave act was being ignored in the North.
They wrote, "There is a strong disunion sentiment at the South or that it is daily gaining strength and force … upon this point, public opinion at the South is nearly unanimous, that a permanent and a radical change in Northern sentiment upon the slavery question is necessary for the peace of the country, if not the perpetuity of the Union."
In the last gasp of the slavery institution in Maryland, a law passed through the General Assembly in 1860 that would have brought unemployed free African-Americans without a certain amount of property into slavery in multiple counties. The number of free African-Americans in 1860 in Maryland was one of the highest in the nation, according to the Maryland Archives. The state's entire population was 687,019, with 83,942 free African-Americans and 87,189 slaves, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The bill was originally introduced by Sen. Oscar Miles of St. Mary's specifically for the county, according to the Port Tobacco Times. The code would be put to a statewide vote in the fall of 1860.
Abolitionists saw slavery for what it was, a dehumanizing evil. Slaveholders thought they were doing a paternal duty for blacks, supposing that they could not do for themselves on their own. "It was the mind-set of the times," said Don Shomette, author of several books on the history of Southern Maryland.
Del. Curtis M. Jacobs of Worcester County served as the chairman of the Committee on Colored Population. In a speech on Feb. 17, 1860, to the Maryland House of Delegates, Jacobs said of the North, "their theory looks to the entire destruction of the Negro race in this country; for, to emancipate them is equivalent to their extermination." He added, "The South can take care of the morals of their slaves; let the North control, if they can, the legion of ites and isms that infest society there and drag their people down to hell."
As the vote on the new slave code neared, the Beacon reported on Oct. 11, 1860, that the St. Mary's County commissioners appointed patrols for each election district. "It is their duty to visit their respective districts at least once a week at night … and to 'vigilantly watch all Negro meetings and disperse the same, and to arrest and bring to justice all abolitionists and other persons who may be found violating the laws of this state on the subject of slavery.'"
A letter in the Nov. 2, 1860, edition of The [Baltimore] Sun said the proposed slave code "is inhuman, because it provides for reducing into slavery human creatures who are now free."
The measure was defeated in the statewide election. In that same election, Maryland supported John Breckinridge, a Southern Democrat, in a four-way race for U.S. president. Lincoln barely won the national election.
"The South knew if Lincoln was elected, he would abolish slavery despite of what he said," Gottfried said.
In late December 1860, Southern secession began with South Carolina. That same month, a meeting was held in Middletown in northern Charles County to publicly censure the six men of that district who had voted for Lincoln, the Port Tobacco Times reported. The committee named Nathan Burnham as "a Black Republican emissary" and ordered him out of Charles County by Jan. 1, 1861. A member of that committee was Dr. Samuel Mudd, who would later set the broken leg of John Wilkes Booth at his home after Booth assassinated Lincoln at Ford's Theater in Washington, D.C., in April 1865.
On Dec. 20, 1860, E. Wells, editor of the Port Tobacco Times, wrote in an editorial, "'In time of peace, prepare for war.' Lay this to your hearts, Marylanders, and act upon it, not in excitement, but calmly, deliberately, yet determinately."
Militias had already sprung up in Southern Maryland in 1860. While they also served as social clubs, Gottfried said, "These are paramilitary units set up to protect themselves from military incursion." For example, a military meeting was called Jan. 22, 1861, in what is today's Great Mills in St. Mary's County, "for the protection of our rights, our lives and our firesides," a post in the Beacon newspaper said.
The Mounted Volunteers of Charles County met in Port Tobacco, according to the Jan. 3, 1861, Port Tobacco Times, asking for subscriptions from the citizens for arms and ammunition because the state had not furnished them. The paper gave notice of several other militias meeting.
In April 1861 came the news that Fort Sumter in South Carolina had fallen, and the Civil War had begun. Those in Southern Maryland were delighted.
"The wildest enthusiasm broke forth among our people, and huzzahs and congratulations and rejoicings were the order of the hour," reported the St. Mary's Beacon on April 18, 1861. "We have never witnessed an excitement more general and intense than has prevailed in our midst since the news was received. It indicates in the most unmistakable manner that the sympathies of our people are exclusively with the South."
"I think the same could be said for all three counties," Gottfried said.
Indeed. "In 1861, the Confederate flag was flying above the courthouse in Prince Frederick," Shomette said.
On April 23, 1861, the St. Mary's County commissioners sought to raise $10,000 from property taxes "for the purpose of purchasing arms and ammunition for our people, in order that they may be enabled to defend their rights."
The meeting of the Southern Rights Party for Charles County was reported in May 1861.
Union troops soon made expeditions into Southern Maryland, for different reasons. Ten thousand federal troops would be stationed along the western shores of Charles County over the winter of 1861 to 1862 to defend against any Confederate invasion to take Washington, Gottfried said.
In St. Mary's, Union troops looked for smugglers, and residents "were viewed as the enemy," he said. "And it didn't help matters when they started rounding up citizens" in Southern Maryland, sending them to the Old Capitol Prison in the District.
The Port Tobacco Times reported on June 20, 1861, that about 100 federal troops landed at Chapel Point. They went to the home of Samuel Cox, where "they demanded immediate delivery of all State arms in possession," though none were found. "We expected a visit from them at Port Tobacco but were disappointed so far," the editor wrote.
"Everybody's running guns" and other supplies from Southern Maryland to Virginia, Shomette said. In Calvert, supplies were transported across the Patuxent River, over land and then across the Potomac River. Newspapers like the Washington Star would call out the smuggling from Southern Maryland, while local newspaper editors would deny any contraband being found upon federal raids. "They were very clever," Shomette said. "These guys are not stupid — they have a spy system" to alert them when the Union was coming for a visit.
In late December 1861, a group of 400 Union soldiers and a government detective returned from Southern Maryland with 150 tons of material from a rebel schooner at the mouth of the Patuxent River, four political prisoners and a brass cannon taken near Leonardtown that originated from Baltimore. "The lower Potomac is now guarded from Leonardtown to Point Lookout. The government is determined to break up the contraband trade so long carried on there," The Sun reported Jan. 2, 1862.

- While the burgers are cooking, mix the remaining coriander leaves with the yogurt, lime juice and a good grind of black pepper. Split the buns in half and spread the bases with some of the yogurt. Top each with leaves, avocado, onion, a burger, another dollop of the lime yogurt and some salsa, then serve.

Comments, questions and tips
Very tasty vegetarian option. Too blend for me with just chilli powder so instead of chilli powder I add some cumin powder and smoked paprika and also a few chopped jalapenos (and sometimes a couple of tbsps of sweetcorn) and to make it taste even more Mexican, I use low fat sour cream instead of yogurt.
I made the meatballs. The only change I made was to bake them in the oven while I got on with the sauce. Once the sauce was simmering I then put the meatballs in and cooked them while the spaghetti was cooking. As I love coriander I did sprinkle some chopped over the meatballs along with grated cheese. Yummy! I can't seem to highlight the stars so for the record I give it 5 stars
Fantastic! Very tasty. Best veggie recipe I've made in ages. I threw in some fresh chillies as I like mine spicy. Took these to work the next day for my lunch and my work colleagues were all very jealous! They were all surprised I'd made them myself (and I didn't let on how easy they are to make!). Will definitely make again. Might make a few batches and put in the freezer.

Horse lovers across America can celebrate a big victory. The U.S. House Appropriations Committee just approved an amendment that will prevent taxpayer dollars from being used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to inspect U.S. horse slaughter facilities. By blocking this federal funding, the House has taken its first step to ensure that horse slaughter facilities cannot legally operate on U.S. soil. We will need your help to ensure this provision gets through the whole House and the Senate, so stay tuned for upcoming advocacy alerts.
While our current Congress has prided itself on reducing government spending, last year's agriculture funding bill actually omitted this provision—opening the U.S. market to the horse slaughter industry.
"Using taxpayer dollars to fund this abhorrent industry is a wildly unpopular decision," says Nancy Perry, ASPCA Senior Vice President of Government Relations. "At a time when funding for many vital programs is being cut, it is imperative that Congress not use $5 million of taxpayers' money to fund horse slaughter, a cruel practice that benefits only foreign interests."
Take Action!
Rep. Moran's amendment to the Agriculture Appropriations bill protects American communities from the devastating environmental and economic impact of horse slaughter facilities, but the bill still has to pass the full House of Representatives. The House will vote on the bill on Tuesday, June 26. Please contact your U.S. representative today and urge him or her to pass the bill with the Moran Amendment intact and reject any attempts to fund horse slaughter during fiscal year 2013!

I bought these shoes to wear to work because I stand on my feet for 8 hrs a day. They are very attractive and I like that I can dress them up if needed. The only down fall- they take some time to get used to them if you've never worn anything like this before. The arches are very high as well (im used to wearing flat shoes) and they have a very thick sole. They take sometime to get used to them but overall they are great. And great price too!!
When working as a bartender I wore these shoes daily, with no foot problems. After completing my education and enetering the classroom to teach pre school, I found my feet hurting daily!! I went back to wearing my Dansko clogs and all pain has gone away!! I love these shoes!! You can wear them with jeans, khakis and even capris, in a casual setting.
I wear this product with casual clothes. They are a little heavier than expected and so I can't wear them to work for the intended purpose.
These are great shoes! They look great with jeans and are comfortable enough to wear to work. I stand all day in the medical field, and these work great.

Texas investment banker Geoffrey Raynor has vowed to block the Cedar Fair deal with Apollo, and he now controls 9,383,176 'No' votes.
SEC documents show Raynor now controls 17 percent of Cedar Fair's outstanding units, up from the 9.8 percent he held Jan. 20. That's the biggest chunk of Cedar Fair units controlled by any single voter.
Apollo Global Management's $2.4 billion offer to buy Cedar Fair must win approval from two-thirds of the possible votes. Each outstanding unit represents one vote, so someone who holds 100 units casts 100 votes.
Those unitholders who don't vote will have their units automatically counted as 'No' votes.
Neuberger Berman, a New York asset management firm that controls the second-largest number of votes, also seeks to block the merger.
That company manages 9.6 percent of Cedar Fair's outstanding units and has full discretion on voting for 8.6 percent of Cedar Fair's units.
Raynor's spokesman, Tom Johnson, said Raynor sticks behind a news release that said he opposes the Apollo deal and considers Apollo's $11.50 per unit offer too low.
"Cedar Fair has numerous options to unlock the value in its units, but has thus far chosen to take the path that creates the least value for all of its unitholders," the release said in part. "(Raynor's company) believes other large holders intend to vote against the proposed transaction and urges all holders to do the same."
Cedar Fair's units, which had been trading above $12 in recent days, closed Monday at $11.86.
A voting deadline hasn't been set yet on the proposed merger, but it apparently will be announced any day now. The voting dates and other new details concerning the merger proposal will be included when Cedar Fair files its final proxy statement and mails it to unitholders.
"We expect it to be filed sometime in the near future," said Stacy Frole, director of investor relations for Cedar Fair.

I did a 40' x 80' addition onto my existing shop, It is now time to pour the floor.
My question is how thick should I make it.
I will have semi trucks pulling inside, usually gravel trains for me to work on them which are empty, However I will also have the steel truck coming in to deliver once a week.
I bought 6 x 6 x 6GA wire mesh to put in the floor, I plan on using a 6 bag mix which is 4000psi concrete.
My hilo weighs 12,000 lbs plus the 7,000 lbs lift capacity which equalls 19,000 lbs. when fully loaded.
I now have the sand compacted for the fourth time, ( watered down between compactions over a weeks time ) so the concrete will be about 6-1/4" deep.
Keep in mind I'm using 6Ga. mesh verses the 10 ga.that is sold at the big box store.
So my question is will the 6-1/4" be OK or should I go 8" in the area that the semi will pull onto and leave the rest 6-1/4" thick.

Thread: Welding shop concrete thickness

Welding shop concrete thickness
I have done some sidewalks in NJ that the city required 6", I would go 8" and have the concrete company add reinforcing fiber to the mix. I've done some concrete work, but I'm not a mason, just my .02
In my concrete testing days, I'd go with a plastized mix as well. You can get varying hardness out of them. Talk to your concrete supply guys. That would be best as they know. Concrete just isn't mixing portland with gravel anymore. Also mix portland with your sand when you compact it. That'll take any moisture out of it to prevent any cracking of the concrete after it's poured. Wetting it down probably isn't the best. If your mixing it yourself you can still buy the plastizisor from a concrete firm. And if your using it, then the final product will last forever without cracking and its not nessesary to go the 8" either.
Also remember to lift the mesh up off the ground, so the poured product can get undrneath it.
Welding shop concrete thickness
Most commercial concrete pours, such as retail stores, commercial offices, industrial buildings and warehouses, can need up to 9 inches of thickness in the concrete pad. Retail stores and commercial offices will call for at least 5 to 6 inches of concrete, while industrial buildings and parking lots can call for 7 to 8 inches of concrete. Any commercial parking lot that will have heavy machinery needs 8 to 9 inches of concrete thickness to withstand the heavy equipment.

Worked for a concrete company...
first is the shop heated? How long will loads be parked, do you want to have to board all tracked equipment? If it were me I would not go anywhere less then 8 inches and would likely go thicker on the truck lane. If it were me, the center where the trucks and the load is would be 9 inches and I would taper to 6 inches in the corners and sides where the load is less. Also being a constant tempature is the best thing to keep the concrete from cracking.

Cruizer, I'm not mixing the concrete myself, and yes I made chairs to hold the wire in the middle of the slab, I to have seen wire sitting at the bottom 1/2" of the slab on some jobs that I have torn out, plus I'm using the heavier wire.
I didd'nt mention that I put 6 beam that are 30' long that are being cast into the floor with four beams running across the 6 beams. The beams cover an area that is 16' wide x 31' the beams are a combination 12" W.F. with a 10" flange and some 14" x 30lb.
The top of the flanges will be flush with the finish floor and I shot them in with my lazer and they are all within 3/32" of being level.
I put 2 of the beams inline with the frame rails of a semi truck, then the next two are 8'3" on center which catches the outside edge of a semi trailer and the last two are approx. 3' off each edge of a semi trailer to allow me to do a side pull.
My plan is to be able to straighten out rolled over gravel train trailers, heavy equipment or what ever someone brings in to be straightened.
When I'm not using it for straightening, I'll use it to fabricate off.
The beams dont start untill your about 28' inside the door so I have decided to make the concrete 8" thick in the area leading up to the beams where the semi trucks will be and leave the rest 6-1/4"thick.
In the new section of the building which is 40' x 80' I will have 2 crane bays with 2 bridges in each truck bay which is 4 cranes total.

The duty cycle will be fairly low, 8 inches in critical spots should be fine, toss a couple rods in here and there.

Nice Shop!!!
Great idea to put the beams in the floor, are you going to cut chain pockets in the beams, how are you going to affix your pulling devices? I never been a fan of the d ring, it would be a lot of work, but 2" receiver tube would make nice flat floors, and be able to convert into pulling fictures.Lincoln ranger 305g x2

For your floor beam, dig big footings and run rebar through the the beams.
D ring on a heavy flat bar will work fine. Cut a big enough hole at the end of the beams to get the D rings in and out as needed, also the dirt.
Think about a jib crane just heavy enough to swing a wire feeder.
Pour the footing for the jib at the base of your gantry crane. Have the jib swing under the gantry.
Run rebar from the beams in the concrete to a J bolt for the shop frame.
That way the whole shop frame is grounded (HF tig) and you can hook your ground/ work lead to the J bolt and jig off the floor beams.
Same for the welding table,a small pad in the concrete grounded to the frame, no cables under your feet.
No saw cuts or cold joints in the bay you will use a creeper, nothing but smooth concrete.
Last put your air compress on/off switch by the light switch at the mandoor exit, lights out, air off.
Good Luck,

Thanks for the ideas, I have run rod to all of my crane columns already so yes I can have my ground connected to the table and it will all be grounded to floor beams also.
As far as rebar, The beams are all welded together in a grid 6 going the 31' way and 4 going the oposite way all spaced apart.
I welded mudd hooks to the bottom side of the top flange on all the beams.
I have a little over 10,000 lbs of steel beams that the grid is built out of.
No pockets for chains, I will just weld down to the beams as needed.
No Jib crane will be needed because I'm installing 4 over head cranes in the building,
I also have future plans to intall a 18,000 lb hoist so I will provide at least 12" of concrete where the posts will go.
Thanks for the ideas, Keep them coming befor the concrete gets poured, I have all the mesh in so I'm waiting on the concrete guy now.

Published: 27 September 2011
The Chancellor, in consultation with the Secretary of State Owen Paterson and the Northern Ireland Executive, today announces that from 1 November Air Passenger Duty will be cut for passengers travelling on direct long-haul routes departing from airports in Northern Ireland.
The direct long-haul rate of APD will fall to the lower short-haul rate – currently £12 per passenger in economy and £24 for business and first class passengers.
Continental Flight CO95 from Belfast International to New York/Newark will continue to operate, maintaining Northern Ireland's vital economic air link to North America, and Northern Ireland will gain a fresh opportunity to develop other long-haul routes to the rest of the world.
Announcing the move, the Chancellor of the Exchequer said:
"The Government has taken proactive measures to protect the only direct long-haul service operating from Northern Ireland and with it the jobs of those who serve the Belfast route.
Northern Ireland faces a unique challenge in attracting traffic – including very valuable business customers – into its airports.
By announcing this immediate cut and our intention to devolve aspects of APD, the UK Government is renewing its commitment to stimulating and rebalancing the Northern Ireland economy."
Northern Ireland's airports operate in unique circumstances within the UK. The land border with the Republic of Ireland, with its differential rates of air passenger tax had threatened to make long-haul flights from Belfast uneconomic.
To provide a lasting solution, the Government will launch a parallel process to devolve aspects of APD to the Northern Ireland Assembly, as a recognition of its unique circumstances.
John Doran, managing director, Belfast International Airport said, "This has been a challenging but ultimately rewarding path.
Speaking for Belfast International Airport, we are grateful to everyone who has played a role in finding a resolution to this vexed problem.
While we can allow ourselves a brief period to reflect on this success, this is the point at which we must redouble our efforts to establish our fair share of international air service connectivity into the island of Ireland. On that basis, as a community, we need to get out and sell our product and our story to the British visitor market, the Americans, the Germans, the Canadians, the Dutch and elsewhere.
We need to use the tools that have been provided to capitalize upon the opportunity, garner our resources and make it as easy as possible for visitors and investors to come to Northern Ireland.
Today is an essential first step on that journey."
