A gadfly with a point of view. Writing about the questions of life involving theology, science, and apologetics to inspire thought. Interested in the surprising and the inspiring world.
ANGKOR WAT STEGOSAUR _______________ Many cultures around the world have stories involving dragons and large serpents. This stone carving at Cambodia’s Angkor Wat temple, Ta Prohm bares a remarkable resemblance to a stegosaur. It was carved around 1200 AD. _______________ #grownostr #plebchain #dinosaurs #history #youngearth #cyptid If you find value in my notes and articles please like, boost or follow!

THE MOST GOLDILOCKS IN ALL OF PHYSICS _______________ The fine-tuning of the universe is one of the most compelling arguments for the existence of God. Fine-tuning refers to the “just right” initial conditions that were set into the equations that govern physics and how they effect life. One of the most finely tuned parameters in physics is the entropy of the universe. It refers to the initial low entropy state of the universe, which was necessary for the existence of life. If the Big Bang Theory is correct and the universe started with a massive expansion, our newly formed universe was not a chaotic soup of energy and matter. It was quite the opposite, it was orderly. This is because of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This law states that there is a natural tendency of any isolated system to degenerate into a more disordered state. This direction towards disorder is called entropy. The entropy of the universe was fine-tuned to such an exquisite degree. Physicist Roger Penrose estimated that the odds of the initial low entropy orderly state of our universe occurring by chance are on the order of 1 in 10 raised to the 10th power then raised to the 123rd power. [1] This number is absolutely unfathomable odds, even in the world of physics and mathematics. Basically, there would be a VERY large number of universes in which the entropy would be so chaotic in the beginning that it would be uninhabitable for life; before one is formed that could sustain life. This leads to the view that the equations that govern physics and in turn life were designed to be just right for life to exist. [1] Penrose, Roger. (1989). Emperor’s New Mind.

ALEISTER CROWLEY’S ALIEN _______________ Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) was an English occultist, writer, and ceremonial magician who played a significant role in the development of modern Western esotericism. He gained notoriety for his involvement in various mystical practices and his influence on occult and spiritual movements. One of Crowley's lesser-known aspects of his work involves his encounters with an entity he referred to as "Lam." In the later years of his life, Crowley was known to have engaged in a series of visionary and trance-like states, during which he claimed to have communicated with a being he depicted in a drawing as a somewhat androgynous figure with a large, bald head and slit-like eyes. Lam bears a remarkable resemblance to the speculated alien grays in popular UFO lore. This resemblance does bring up an interesting possibility. Crowley was called by the tabloids of the day the “Wickedest Man In The World,” and a “Master Of Darkness.” He was defiantly trying to communicate with beings from other dimensions, what we could call demons. It is very possible that the aliens that are encountered are in fact demons and not visitors from another planet. This would have profound and even biblical implications if true. It would mean that we are most defiantly alone in the universe, unique and miraculous creations. It would also mean that the UFO phenomenon is an encounter with a spiritual realm that we know little about. _______________ #grownostr #spirituality #UFO #nostr If you find value in my notes and articles please like, boost or follow!
