The Bible is not a physics textbook. Its writers were not trained in physics, quantum theory, or how the universe works. Although many believers think that the Bible explains the universe in some way it really does not. Job 38:4 is a famous verse that says "Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand." This is God asking Job to explain how the universe was made. Job and his contemporaries could not do that.
No one seems to have done more for the cause of Bernie Sanders' Presidential campaign than Donald Trump. The Donald has single-handedly reversed all the progress that former President George W. Bush made in attracting Hispanic voters to the Republican Party ticket. Sure, you still have a couple of Hispanic GOP contenders in Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, but these guys have no realistic chance of leading the Republicans to victory in 2016. Trump, on the other hand, is the 2nd top-rated Republican candidate in the field and he is battening down the hatches against a storm of protest over his anti-Hispanic views. Bernie Sanders, the socialist running for the Democratic nomination, stands a much better chance of attracting Hispanics than Hilary Clinton. Personal and professional information needs increase rapidly as the Information Age unfolds. When you stop to think about it, we can sift through data electronically in a large mass that is impossible to peruse in detail. There is just too much out there. Many news articles report that Google's Web search database comprises approximately 50 billion Web pages and that this corpus changes at a rate of one billion Web documents daily. Although a lot of content vanishes after large archives close (such as Yahoo!'s closing of GeoCities), Internet-based data publication continues growing almost exponentially. Criminal record searches have emerged as very profitable in the United States. Customers now spend more than $1 billion on background checks each year.
I love Star Trek. I grew up on the TV shows and the movies and I am sure a lot of you did too. Every now and then I come across some pretty funny videos that parody Trek. There are a LOT of Trek parodies out there but I don't like most of them. I don't want people to feel bad. My sense of humor is just not the same as theirs. And I know it takes some work to make these videos. But here are my favorites.
