W4U:  Thanks CC. I plan to add all that to my reference library.

If that’s the case you might want go to: https://confrontingsciencecontrarians.blogspot.com/2019/12/pageant-of-earth-evolution-in-24hr-part.html

I have the same list there, except all the key words are linked to the said article or video.  Much better version to copy and share     🙂

Seeing how Adonai avoided my comments and the information I shared got me to thinking about motives and then I got to thinking about that fuzzy thing in the brick wall optical illusion.

I’m a smart guy, and there was a something hiding as a fuzzy thing, I oughta be able to figure it out.  I looked at it every which way.  I was given a descent hint, tried looking at it though supposedly fresh eyes, still nothing.  I was convinced it still looked like a fuzzy thing.

It wasn’t til a proverbial smack upside the head, smashed my tunnel vision, when I backed off and took in the big picture I’d been avoiding.  The I saw something else altogether.

Philosophically . . .

I can now see the self-certain one-road to salvation Christian, they are certain that fuzzball God is the center of everything.  It’s so easy to make good arguments for it, any which way you closely examine it, it remains a fuzzball.  Which is good because they’ve build their identity around the reality of that fuzzball.  And that’s how it is, even if there’s a whole lot more in that world.  But if there’s no interest in questioning oneself, that’s that, it is settled.

Now me I belong to that other half of humanity – I had reason to think there could be more to that fuzz ball.  Even after repeated failures, I tended to blame myself, my own deficits, because I know I have blind spots and occasional tunnel vision, I don’t always trust myself, so I’m curious.  When I ask questions or offer challenges – I stand ready for responses, then ready to face them wrestles with them in good faith, take my licks if need be.  Good stuff has always come out the other end, even if the process hurts some.

Why?

Because genuine constructive learning is the goal, because this reality I was born into is way bigger than my ego and outlook.

I want to understand IT, My Ego is big enough to be okay with mistakes and learning.

I can listen and engage –

Adonai can’t do any better than advertise – then run and hide from the challenging considerations.

He and his type love telling others all sorts of unsupportable nonsense – and in return they make a point of never absorbing, digesting, or learning from what others share in good faith .

==================

There’s more to unpack here, unfortunately precious little time to write.

Back in the world of family and friends,  It’s been a great evening, an I’m about to drop, we hosted a little neighborhood (three households along our road) Winter Solstice Celebration – my wife and I got to spend day cleaning the cabin and fixing a nice little spread, then cleaning up.  Very cool though, since they tend host a fair amount of respective dinners, including haircut parties and such.  Even occasional Russian New Years.  So we try at least a couple a year.  Guess I’m digressing, well… I have no time for a fresh post, so there.

Cheers all
