I’m in the territory of a topic that should be a bit deeper than rambling, so I’ll do my best to keep it true to form and not go too deep. Ready?
Proving God Exists
- For my medieval theology class I’ve had to study Aquinas’ five proofs of God’s existence. You can read about them here.
- I’m convinced that every person needs to be this thorough at some point in their thinking.
- Deep things of God sometimes can’t be covered by a nice looking saying on your Facebook wall.
- These proofs reveal much about human life and existence. Things are constantly changing, developing, moving.
- The basic proof God exists? If we trace everything we experience back and back and back all the way to the beginning of time, is there something that is fixed?
- Or, has everything always been changing?
- For me, these dilemmas can ONLY point to God. Aquinas is a huge help in thinking this through.
- Even if you believe the Big Bang, you can’t explain the origin point of the particles that exploded to create our universe.
College Football
- I don’t think they would have envisioned a mess quite like this one in the first year of the playoff.
- The best thing about it to me (besides Ohio State making the playoff) is that there are real human beings who had a process and rationale and can stand by their decision.
- In the past we’ve been subject to private coaches’ votes (like they can see every team play), computer rankings, blah, blah, blah.
- I think extending the field to six is the best solution. We don’t need an eight team playoff.
- When it comes to controversy, I think that’s really what you want. Six would have solved a year like this year, but would still have left debate open. I love how such a limited field really does enhance the regular season.
- Anyone clamoring to have the BCS back?
- Even if Ohio State wouldn’t have made it, I’d have much preferred this model.
