Reflections
Uncertainty
According to Heisenberg principle. It depends on what we are trying to see. We can be experiencing some form of trial or tribulation. We can look at it in a negative way or a positive way.
Is the universe weird? No, its absolutely amazing. There is so much to learn, yet we dont even know a small percentage. When you think of how small the earth is compared to the sun and the sun compared to galaxies. ......it's pretty mind blowing.

Physics week 1
Time is a concept that varies in relation to how people view, value or see it. Time to humans is totally different to time according to the universe. In the bible it mentions that 1,000 years to humans is a day to God.
In American culture it's all about work and being on time. In many countries of Africa if they say come at 4pm, being on time would mean you arrive between 4pm and 4:59pm. In latin countries they take siestas and focus on enjoying life with family and friends.
Time is valuable do what you love. Enjoy!

My thoughts on evo devo. Biology week 2
My goal is not to belittle or put down those who believe in evolution, but it is to reason with them. Ask thought provoking questions. So evo devo theory believes that groups or organisms over time change species. I would have to disagree. They can not change species but can create different variations of that species (the bible mentions this also). Below I will share some facts that lead me to this statement.
Evolution says- life envolved from non life by chance chemical evolution or spontaneous generation
Creations says- life comes only from previous life originally created by an intelligent creator
Facts as found in the real world- life comes only from previous life also no way to form complex genetic code by chance
Next one...........
Evolution says- fossils should show first simple life forms orgrinating gradually second transitional forms linking previous ones
The creation says - fossils should show first complex forms suddenly appearing in great variety , second gaps seperating major kinds no linking forms
Facts as found in real world- fossils show sudden appearance of complex life in great variety , second each new kind separate from previous kinds no linking forms
Next one........
Evo says- new kinds arising gradually, beginnings of incomplete bones and organs in various transitional stages
Creations says- no new kinds gradually appearing, no incomplete bones or organs, but all parts are completely formed
Facts as found in the real world- no new kinds gradually appearing although many varieties, no incompletely formed bones or organs
Next one................
Evo says- mutations net results benefical, generate new features
Creations says- mutations harmful to complex life , do not result in anything new
Facts as found in real world- small mutations harmful, large ones lethal, never result in anything new
Next one..................................
Evo says- appearance of man maybe 200k to a million years ago
Creation says- appearance of man 6000 years ago
Facts as found in the real world says - oldest written records date back to only 5000 years
After reading the above thnik about this.......What fits the facts?
When we compare what has been found in the real world to what evolution predicates and to what creation predicts, is it not apparent which fits the fact and which conflicts?
The evidence from the world of living things around us and from the fossil record of things that lived long ago testifies to the same conclusion. ........LIFE WAS CREATED, IT DIDN'T EVOLVE!

How does Darwinism matter to me? Biology week 2
People who believe in evolution would tell you that billions of years ago life started deep in the ocean. That chemicals spontaneously assembled into bubble like structures and formed molecules. They believe life started on accident. Darwin himself was fascinated by the way traits were passed alnong from one generation to the nxt, but he knew little about laws of genetics and even less about mechanics with in the cell that govern heredity. But now we know its dna, but where did these instructions come from?
What does the holy book the bibe say? ?......which finished being writtn over 2000 years ago. It says that the formation of our different body parts and even the timing of their fromation involves a figurative book that orginates with God. King David inspired to write saying of God...."your eyes saw even the embryomof me, and in your book all its parts were down in writing as regards the days were down in writing as regards the days when they were formed and there was not yet one among them - Psalm 139:16
When looking at DNA how could such writing come about with out a writer, such programming with out a programmer?
Has life desended froma common ancestor? Darwin thought so. He believed thr tree of life. New species branched from the trunk. Many researches have proven this wrong or unscientific. Given the controversy our pillar of Darwin theory, can his version of evolution honestly be referred to as scientific fact? First all living organisms have similar designed DNA, could this similarity exist, not because they had the same ancestor, but because they had the same designer?
Some scientist realize that the rejection of God is a path paved, not by hard evidence and logic, but hopeful assumptions and conjectures. The world is much more complicated than explained by science, but yet the bible has numerous scientific facts despite the fact it was completed over 2000 years ago before man discovered ....some facts the bible mentiones: baterica, dna, the earth is round and hanging upon nothing, a little wine is good for stomach, our emotions affect our organ health, benefits of being with one sexual partner (risk of numerous partner increase hpv and cervical cancer in women) ....the list goes on. I could go on for days why I or you can trust and have faith in the Bible. It answer many questions we have today. Many people just dont look to it or understand it. I volunteer every month and teach people what the bible really teaches and I LOVE IT! :).....SO when I hear of the claims of evolution it makes my stomach quench. ?.its like if I took an entire month to prepare a report, turned it in and my teacher tell me that I didnt write it, but the paper and pen evolved and wrote it....I would be HOT.

My thoughts on sex can ease stress for up to a week. Biology week 1
I was not suprised about the results of this research. The cuddling hormone oxytocin that is released after having sex makes you calm and it revitlizes. Sex is a wonderful gift in a marriage. More sex less stress or at least it helps you to better cope.

Week 14
Artificial intelligence topic- I think that it is good for us to be inventive. If nobody decided to create something or try new things we would not have the sophisticated technology we have today. We all benefit from the computer, internet, cars, hvac, light bulbs, etc. In addition to innovation we have human error or mistakes. Sadly from all things we make that benefit us most times there are side effects. Before a project all aspects need to be weighed on how it will affect the earth and its precious inhabitants.
My review of:
Dolphins are complex just like humans. This article explores their intelligence, emotion and cognitive ability. Dolphins are similar to humans...should humans be locked up in a tank or cage? I thought this was a good read.

Our emotions and the correlation to our organs- A Traditional Chinese Medicine, Biblical and Western perspective
Our emotions and the correlation to our organs-
A Traditional Chinese Medicine, Biblical and Western perspective
By: Gazania McCoy -Washington



Many people are familiar with the saying, "you are what you eat", but what
about "you are what you think". What goes on in our mind has a great effect
on the body. Thoughts and emotions affect all organs and systems of the
human body: nervous, immune, hormonal, circulatory, and reproductive. In
my report I want to explore briefly TCM perspective, western view and
knowledge from the bible that mentions the connection between emotions
and organ health.
"The seven basic emotional related to organ function anger, joy, worry,
pensiveness, sadness, fear, and shock (fright)". Imbalance of these emotions
can affect organ function. Example: prolonged anger lead to imbalance liver
and liver imbalance symptoms of anger. Anger causes imbalance to the liver.
Joy to Heart, Worry to Spleen, Pensiveness to Spleen, Sadness to Lungs,
Fear to Kidneys, Shock to Heart & Kidneys.
Emotional well being is vital part of health. Having these emotions are part of
the normal human experience, but the Problem is when our emotions
become excessive or repressed. Sometimes our organ may be out of
balance and produce emotional imbalance, which gives us the emotions
mentioned above.

Our happiness is important for our health. Uncontrolled emotions can disrupt
vital energy qi and weaken the immune system. Zhang zi he (1156 -1228)
discovered that when emotions come suddenly, or you hang on to them too
long, it upsets the energy flow threw your meridians, make you sick.
The chart below shows what each emotion can do to the body internally.
“Total Chinese Health” page 45
Emotion Internal climate
Joy Heat
Anger Wind, fire, heat
Fear Cold
Worry Dampness
Sadness. Dryness
The important organ of the body whose chief function is to pump the blood to
nourish the body cells.
Leviticus 17:14 “For the life* of every sort of flesh is its blood, because the life* is in it. “
The Heart is prominent in the scriptures, its mentioned 1,000 times.
Safeguard your heart the whole inner person for out of it are the sources of
life. In the bible when the heart is mentioned with mind it refers to the
emotions, desires, feelings of the inner person.
Proverbs 14:30- “A calm heart is the life of the fleshly organism.”
Proverbs 17:22-"A heart that is joyful does as a curer" (king Solomon 3000 years ago).
Journal of the American college of cardiology stated "current findings suggest
harmful association between anger and hostility and coronary heart disease."
The Journal notes "successful prevention and treatments of CHD might
involve not only conventional, physical and pharmaceutical therapies, but
also psychological management focusing on anger and hostility". Simply put,
a calm heart fosters good health just like the bible and TCM say. Dr. Derek
Cox a health official in Scotland said in a BBC report "If you are happy you
are likely in the future to have less in the way of physical illness than those
who are unhappy.

Worry
Anxiety can be damaging to one’s well-being. It can lead to depression,
robbing one of strength and the initiative to act. Says the inspired proverb:
“Anxious care in the heart of a man is what will cause it to bow down.”
Proverbs 12:25- “Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down,
But a good word cheers it up.”
There can be serious physical manifestations from worry. Observes the book
How to Master Your Nerves: “Doctors know how anxiety can affect the body’s
functions. It can raise (or lower) blood pressure; it can elevate the white blood
cell count; it can suddenly affect the blood sugar by the action of adrenalin on
the liver. It can even change your electrocardiogram. Dr. Charles Mayo said:
‘Worry affects the circulation, the heart, the glands, the whole nervous
system.’”
Traditional western medicine believe that emotions affect our health. Doctors
have pondered the connection between our mental and physical health for
centuries. In early Western medicine they believed that emotions were linked
to disease and prescribe that people relax and visit a spa when they were
sick. Eventually emotions were no longer the causes of illness, but bacteria
or toxins. So new treatments like antibiotics cured illness.
They have been revisiting the links between stress and health. Today,
Western medicine accepts that there is a powerful mind-body connection
through which emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and behavioral factors can
directly affect our health.

Fear
Living with fear is highly stressful. It often leads to depression and can ruin a
person’s health. “Stress suppresses the immune system and is a contributing
factor in most diseases,” explains a Western health magazine. “The body will
develop symptoms of wear and tear, especially on the organs involved.
Hypertension, heart disease, kidney disease, gastrointestinal disorders,
ulcers, headaches, insomnia, depression, and anxiety can develop.”
Traditional Chinese Medicine is spot on with the emotion and organ
connection. My mom has kidney failure and prior to getting the official
diagnosis she would seem to have extreme panic attacks and fear of almost
everything. TCM is ahead of time regarding diagnosing the body and
identifying issues to help prevent or improving the body.
Western Medicine also has identified an important factor when it comes to
illness. They have discovered how to treat bacteria and toxins. Its good that
recently they are revisiting the idea of Mind-body connection. Personally I
have noticed a change in visiting my primary care doctor. My doctor asks me
what’s going on in my life and how I am feeling. Also they are encouraging
me to exercise and purchase food from the farmers market they have on
location.
Biblical is fact. I believe that the bible was written by our Creator. Our creator
knows us best. When we experience problems or have questions we can
always find facts, truths or principles to live by. I have noticed that TCM and
Western medicine advocates many things that the bible mentions.
We all want to be happy and have a balanced emotional health. I love these
scriptures that tell us how we can achieve TRUE happiness in our life, which
in turn can help us have a healthier mind, body and soul.
Matthew 5:3 - "Happy are those conscious of their spiritual needs,"
Matthew 5:7- "Happy are the merciful,"
Matthew 5:8-" Happy are the pure in heart,"
Matthew 5:9- "Happy are the peacemakers."
Psalms 144:15 - “Happy are the people whose God is Jehovah”
