Tomorrow's Science Heroes?
An anonymous reader writes "As a kid I was (and still am) heavily influenced by Carl Sagan, and a little later by Stephen Hawking. Now as I have started a family with two kids, currently age 5 and 2, I am wondering who out there is popularizing science. Currently, my wife and I can get the kids excited about the world around them, but I'd like to find someone inspiring from outside the family as they get older. Sure, we'll always have 'Cosmos,' but are there any contemporaries who are trying to bring science into the public view in such a fun and intriguing way? Someone the kids can look up to and be inspired by? Where is the next Science Hero?"
There is no conflict between science and religion when you realize that a day for God can be any length of time. The Hebrew word Yom used to denote day is also used to denote thousands of years or eternity in other places in the scriptures. Look up the Long Day Theory or Theistic Evolution. It is the cooks who think evolution is a threat to Christianity that do most of the harm to pushing away people who would otherwise be believers.
I'm very serious about God as would anyone who realizes that God is real. You can't take a serious matter such as God and treat it trivially or foolish even though I've seen many people who do it. I think there is a pervading wind in youth culture that tries to deride believers. Instead of engaging believers rationally, the insults and old jokes are hurled. For many people, it simply isn't the cool thing to be a Christian. This is similar to idiots in high school that thing education isn't a cool thing either.
Everyone knows my website where I tell people God is real is at: www.faithclub.net

Some people are religious zealots through belief, but I'm a zealot through knowledge. I try and get to many places on the web: mass email, twitter, forums, even video games. Anywhere there is people, I'm going around telling people God is real. This is how God wanted it to happen too. Structurally it is said that God likes to see the thoughts of people as they're preached to through his followers. Yes, God reads your thoughts. And when you become a believer, you even change the way you think as to become pleasing to him. Its all pretty radical stuff, but its all good, God is generous, rewarding, loving, compassionate, and he's the only being that knows you completely. God will be with us for eternity. When you start thinking of Heaven as being a place where anything is possible, and that God is more creative than any human, and that he wants us to enjoy time, it is just more than imagination. And it is truth.
God spoke to me.
King James Version of Romans 5:12-13: - 12: Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. - So sure Verse 12 sounds like it was all Adams fault, but reading on, we see that without the law, there is no sin. If there is no knowledge of good and evil, there is no law, and there is no sin. So if it weren't for Adam, we wouldn't have our ability to understand right from wrong, so in that sense, Adam aloud us the ability to choose to sin our not.

I've met Bill Nye (well, a Bill Nye) and he was a religious nutjob..
Seriously, though, this guy was just like Michael Bolton in Office Space. Wouldn't go by Will or William because he's been Bill all his life and why should he change "just because some idiot became famous with the same name."
End of line..
