Have you ever seen the night sky, at sea, with no lights in a thousand miles of you? I have. It's something I'll never forget. I sometimes wonder if The decline of a belief in God is the simple fact that so few can see the majesty of creation, blinded by the city lights.

God has placed the spirit of stupor on some people, the base nature of a person is what God is proving since he only let us have a percentage of our brain function. This is His game that the war in heavenly places has to be played out. Why do you think obama made it to the potus position, along with his many minion souls supporting this treason like they did in the first earth age. That why Esau was h**ed by God because he rejected his heritage in heaven. I think that everything we do will be taken into account for proving a conviction into hell or an admission into Heaven. Don't disturb the tares (kenites) because you'll damage the wheat ( righteous ).

Wait til you see some of the Hubbel telescope pictures. Their glory is self evident and needs no other description. They are nothing less than stunning, and beautiful beyond my poor vocabulary to describe them. How I wish I could travel out there and see them in person. Maybe after I die.

I think it's more about science telling people - that a random collision of atoms, in a specific order and under specific conditions, is how life was created - and people bought it.

These are the same people who spend billons every year - believing that they'll be the next lottery millionaire. What are the odds of either one happening? Go figure.

How would someone's faith and belief be challenged if one couldn't see?

You're a real homeboy.

I used to look out my window at night in the winter and see the Aurora Borealis coming in over a silver thaw. The "Silver thaw" was the result of a hardfreeze followed by a thaw, followed by another hardfreeze, the result being a circle of solid ice around ever power wire on power poles, and around every tree limb and branch. Comes the Aurora Borealis and immediately, the silver thaw takes on colors from heaven, like you have never seen on an artists palette. Absolutely beautiful to behold, and causing awe in the soul to contemplate.

At night, with a moonlight beaming and a full color forest outlined in the eerie light of the "Northern lights" (alternate name for Aurora Borealis) the night would begin to make music like you could not believe. It too, was more beautiful than any orchestra I ever heard.

That was when I began to believe in a living, caring God. I thought He painted his living room for me to look forward to seeing it in person. I was a very awed impressionable kid. I am now 81 years of age and have never forgotten those painted sky nights, nor the colors that appeared on the encircled branches of the trees.

Now THAT'S something I'd like to see. I looked for an image or video for that, but couldn't find anything.

I was in a rural area 100 miles north of Seattle. I can still see that beauty if I concentrate for just a few seconds, and pray. It would be worth a vacation North to see it again.

You do understand, don't you, that I am talking about the dead of winter on the Canadian border.r.r.r.r.r.r.

You will just have to imagine the silver thaw---

and the colors mixed

Sorry - this is the best I can find on short notice. The real is so much better, especially without that addition of human music. Maybe turn your audio off.
