Alright, don't let the title scare you. It was the most accurate title I could think of that still pertained to what I am going to write about. Or it could be the first title I came up with. Either way, keep reading:
I think one area that is never really explained is how God views our existence on Earth. Of course he values us and sees us as very important creations of his, but I mean quite literally, how he sees us. God is the creator of everything we live in. That means all our tools we use to discover God's nature is from a finite point of view. If you can recall, God is infinite and essentially indiscoverable through our finite methods. The only ground we gain in the discovery of God's nature is through starting with the one thing God gave us called Truth (better known as the Bible ;)). If we start with what we know as being absolutely true coming from the infinite God himself, we can build our knowledge from there. I am certain that if God did not directly tell us of his nature (e.g. if the universe was essentially Deist), we would never even come close to discovering his attributes.
Another interesting area that is important Christians understand is how God see's time. Being finite beings, we are locked into three forms of time: Past, Present and Future. And to be quite literal, we only ever experience the Present time. This is because we are bound by the finite laws of time. However, God is infinite and the creator of time and thus he is outside of time. Now I am going on speculation here, but I envision God seeing the Past, Present and Future happening at the same time. Sure that doesn't make sense, because we only understand time through a finite point of view. It is the only way a finite mind can explain and understand how an infinite mind might work. God sees all three forms of time happening all at once. This is just the nature of trying to understand infinite with finite means. However, I didn't think of this for no reason. I thought of this thought process to explain the mixing of Armenism and Calvinism--which is enough of a topic to cover on it's own another time.
Anyways, that was what was on my mind for a while now. I am glad I am able to get these thoughts out more often. Like I said, I have been slowly growing in interest of Apologetics and this only fuels me more. Another side note: I believe that Apologetics might actually be what God wants me to do with my life. In some way, some how, I believe I am going to be using Apologetics to glorify God in whatever profession I wind up being in.

Hello
I am writing , or I should say 'creating', this blog from a sort of a "spur of the moment" experience. As I was laying in bed last night, I began to think and question myself "How can I get my ideas out there? How can I really let everyone know the truth that they are not getting?" And then it came to me: I make a blog and discuss it there! This silly blogger account would be perfect to use, as I have had it for years without really using it. So last night I made the decision that I would set it up ASAP and get working on decent posts in due time.
Thus, it brings me to my Cisco class. Right now, I am writing this as the teacher is talking about subnetting and the works. I should be listening, but hey, I said I had to do it ASAP, and I definitely can't wait till tonight as I am going to be busy (in fact I don't think I will step back into my house until tomorrow early morning) . This post is more a less a bit more structured introduction to what and why I am doing this, and for you, the reader, to get to know me.
I have been doing a lot of research into Creationism/Evolution debate, and through it all I have realized how passionate I am about learning and teaching the science of Creation. I simply can't contain myself just reading articles on it. I want to contribute! To help the cause of Creation! And this is the only logical way I can do it (remember I am just a student who isn't even allowed to get a job during school year!). Just to make it clear I am a very firm believer of Creationism through history, science and scripture. I also understand this blog will not achieve billions of views, or even thousands for that matter, but that is not the whole point of this. It is here simply for me to contribute no matter how little or how much it does.
I would also like to note I get a great deal of my information and blog ideas from the following sites:
http://www.answersingenesis.org/- A very good resource site for all Creationism needs. Highly recommend as it very laymen orientated
http://www.icr.org/- Not as good as AiG, but it still has some valuable information
http://www.trueorigin.org/- A very technical site. Good for people who understand all the terms used in Creationism and science
http://blogs.answersingenesis.org/aroundtheworld/- Ken Ham's blog (creator of AiG) Some very interesting ideas and stories in here.
Aside from the main focus of this blog, it will also help my english riting (I'm just playing; writing) abilities, which truly do need help. I also am going to actually research, study, write out, proofread, and overall make a quality blog. As of right now, I have no idea how many blogs I am going to put out, but I am planning of about a blog a week as that seems like the magical number for most bloggers.
Final note, I provided a little description about myself in the about me. However, I didn't provide a very in depth detail about me. What I can say at this very moment is I will update my profile as much as I can, as soon as I can. I kinda suck at writing about mes just because I feel so cheesy doing it. But I guess it is kind of important, so I will hop onto it asap.
I am very glad I was able to get this post out before my day was over, and hopefully I will have my first blog out sometime this week, or possibly (and hopefully) this weekend sometime.
Thanks,
Eric
