Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

Hometread fartlek. Tired. Sooo restless last night. No sleep, but 8 hours of hodgepodge including seeking proof of God and getting pretty into intelligent design, read a lot of Bible, looked up a lot of historical origins of Biblical text, got sidebarred off into "love " and it's relevance to all relationships including spiritual, but then moved along to poverty, watched a few documentaries that highlighted corruption, and pondered my own role in the less fortunate locally and globally. My head just won't turn off.

Hah - I've had God-research days too. If you ever find bulletproof results, let me know!

Pray for answers April. It definitely helps I have to say. Mine are with you tonight.

Intelligent design is pretty convincing. Still searching, still praying, feeling optimistic like I'm getting closer to what I'm searching for.

I'm still kind an evolution guy, but it sounds like you're going down many of the same paths I have. I know enough to know that I don't know enough! There are still plenty of things that evolution has not explained. I should read up more on ID though.

For me it comes down to biogenesis vs abiogenesis. I'm of the opinion life cannot, and has not ever sprung spontaneously from non-living material. No one has come remotely close to showing that possibility. So how did life begin without some kind of supernatural intervention?Slightly different question, but with the same implications...

Anyway, so many people these days are 100% sure they have all the answers (both atheists and people of faith) so i like seeing others having the same thoughts/questions as me!

Just a thought from someone who doesn't know a whole lot. Read the Book of Mormon.

i fall on the same subject when i can't sleep, which is often.

i've studied like mad, and i have no sure conclusions (although i swing to the atheistic side of things).

knowing the purpose of our life and how/why we are here is the ultimate human question. i'm with joe -- all i know is that i know don't enough to answer that question.

despite hearing very confident answers from many people in my life, i am of the opinion that no one *really* has the answer...at least yet...

for now i see it like this: the world is constantly improving (at least in some ways) -- we are learning new things, making new discoveries, constantly developing new technology, etc...if we ever reach a point where we are so advanced that we can answer the unanswerable questions and actually figure out everything there is to know, will that be like a big GAME OVER for the world? we've won the game, there's nothing more to conquer, so that's the end.

“there is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

there is another theory which states that this has already happened.” - douglas admas

Well said, Allie. I'm glad I'll be long dead when/if we ever get to that point.

I like that quote!
