“Galvanized people can do careless things. It is in the extreme and emotion-laden moments that distance and coolness are most required. I am tempted to howl in rage. It is not my place to do so. My job is to try to dissect the event, place it in context and try to understand what has happened and why. From that, after the rage cools, plans for action can be made. Rage has its place, but actions must be taken with discipline and thought.” PeopleTryingMadeMomentsActionJobsCan DoEmotionTakenPlansHappenedEventsDisciplineDistanceExtremesRageTemptedCarelessHowlCoolness Author:George Friedman

“The tragedy of young-earth creationism is that it takes a relatively recent and extreme view of Genesis, applies to it an unjustified scientific gloss, and then asks sincere and well-meaning seekers to swallow this whole, despite the massive discordance with decades of scientific evidence from multiple disciplines. Is it any wonder that many sadly turn away from faith concluding that they cannot believe in a God who asks for an abandonment of logic and reason?” BelieveWellsReasonWholeEarthYoungTurnsAsksViewsWonderEvolutionDisciplineEvidenceLogicTragedyExtremesDecadesDespiteMassiveSincereMultipleSeekersAbandonmentGenesisCreationismGlossUnjustifiedScientific EvidenceConcluding Author:Francis Collins
