I am a creationist and an evolutionist. Evolution is God's, or Nature's method of creation. Creation is not an event that happened in 4004 BC; it is a process that began some 10 billion years ago and is still under way.

— Theodosius Dobzhansky, "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution" (1973)

Christianity is hilarious (with the appropriate and properly applied secular attitude), and if you dig around enough….pretty fucking ironic!

"At the Synod of Dort, both sides agreed that the atonement of Christ’s death was sufficient to pay for all sin and that it was only efficacious for some (it only actually saved some). The controversy centered on whether this limited efficacy was based on God’s election (the view of the Synod and of later Reformed theologians) or on the choice of each person and God’s foreknowledge of that choice (the view of Arminius)."

"Peaking Lights, the Los Angeles-based husband-and-wife duo of Aaron Coyes and Indra Dunis, are releasing their new album Cosmic Logic next week (October 7) via Weird World. They've already shared "Breakdown" and "Everyone and Us". Now, stream the full album here." ~~source Pitchfork Media

"She was elusive. She was today. She was tomorrow. She was the faintest scent of a cactus flower, the flitting shadow of an elf owl. We did not know what to make of her. In our minds we tried to pin her to a cork board like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through and away she flew." ~ Jerry Spinelli

And it occurred to me that these must be holographic viral projections from an autonomous continuum that was somehow intersecting my own

“imperfection **is** our perfection” - Charlie Secrets

the apprehension and acknowledgement of “contrast” in your experience to be the necessary signposts for navigation among the truly abundant wonder of physical reality we have manifested in provides direction without which no Gratitude can be learned. As divine consciousness seeks its expansion it is that *imperfection* and inherent choices we make that resonates most clearly of courage and our blessed Freedom.
