I don’t have much of a topic today. May be discussing a bit about a conversation I had recently that included a few things of note: 1. I was told recently that the amazing things in nature couldn’t have been produced naturally. I said nature is so amazing–in the things I see it do–I can’t …

Authentic Angel Sighting – or Fail?
A reply I offered to a claim of an angel sighting (by an atheist). Below is my answer. I clipped their content, only because several paragraphs were not about this event, but other unrelated stuff.
