“Pending catastrophe is not an easy notion to entertain, much less sustain. Americans, moreover, have a low tolerance for doom and gloom. We are the nation of optimism, after all. We elect leaders who promise hope and change. We are the shining city on a hill.

“The promises of pie-in-the-sky liberal environmentalists that we can convert to 'clean' energy sources and stimulate our economy are based on dubious environmental and economic assumptions, fantastic notions about alternative energy, and a disturbing acceptance of the tyrannies inherent in command-control economies.” EnergyEconomySkyEconomicAcceptanceSourcePromiseCleanEnvironmentalNotionTyrannyCommandFantasticAlternativesAssumptionInherentPieDisturbingEnvironmentalistDubiousClean EnergyEnergy SourcesAlternative Energy Author:David Limbaugh
“The idea itself, the notion of what the next Tron could be, is exciting enough that it would be worth going back to do it. Obviously we hinted some things at the end of Legacy, it's kind of there for people to see what that potential is.

“We are closest to Christ when sharing the world’s misery. Think you Jesus came to remove our pains? Wherever did you get that notion? The Lord came, not to remove our suffering, but to show us the way through it to the glory beyond. We can overcome our travails. That is the promise of the cross.” ThinkingWorldWayShowsPainSufferingJesusChristLordPromiseGloryCrossesOvercomingMiseryNotionRemoveClosest Author:Stephen R. Lawhead
“As many critics of religion have pointed out, the notion of a creator poses an immediate problem of an infinite regress. If God created the universe, what created God? To say that God, by definition, is uncreated simply begs the question. Any being capable of creating a complex world promises to be very complex himself. As the biologist Richard Dawkins has observed repeatedly, the only natural process we know of that could produce a being capable of designing things is evolution.” IfsKnowsWorldProblemUniverseProcessNaturalDesignProduceEvolutionPromiseCreatingCapableInfiniteComplexesCriticsNotionDefinitionsCreatorBiologist Author:Sam Harris
