Creation Is Not Random
Creation is not random. Creativity does not occur randomly and so creation itself can not be an accident of chemistry. Consider the great human creative artists: Picasso, da Vinci, Michelangelo, WB Yeats, Shakespeare, even modern writers like Tolkien, Pratchett, Rowling; the great composers, Mahler, Beethoven, Haydn; modern creative musicians from McCartney to Sheeran; the great science thinkers, Einstein, Faraday or the engineers, Watt, Brunel. Each one created many things through a combination of skill, knowledge, experience, hard work and intuition.

Is The New Golden Age of Airships Upon Us?
If you're old enough, or remember much in your high school history class, you probably remember the golden days of airships. Not so long ago, blimps and their cousins were the darlings of pilots and many a pundit predicted they would take over aviation. But then jet engines stole their place in history and airships were relegated to the logo for a tire company.

Sentencing
The defense attorney paused in his speech, bowed his head, and for a few moments, simply pursed his lips and studied the fists he clenched in front of his chest. Then he lifted his head, simultaneously opened his fists with his palms up, turned and addressed the judge directly.

Astrology of the 2020 Elections: Cory Booker
In 2016, I saw that the astrological community was very divided on who was going to win the presidential elections, but I noticed that these astrologers had one thing in common: their predictions were driven more by bias than astrology. Hillary Clinton supporters were predicting her win, while Trump supporters predicted his win. Not once did I see a Democrat predict Trump's victory, nor did a Republican predict Clinton's. For someone actually wanting to study astrology, it was very disappointing.

The 4 Elements
Ancient civilizations believed in the four elements in the creation of life. even some belief systems and religions still hold the ideal. Although we have ‘evolved’ and discovered a lot over the years, the idea is still as real now as it was back then. The Chinese use a fifth element of metal, and I am sure there are other religions or civilizations that have other such differences.

The Rise of Skywalker or the Fall of Rey?
So how about that teaser, huh? Quite a curveball to say the least with that last shot of Rey looking like the second coming of Darth Maul. I must admit, I am pleasantly surprised with the reveals of both teasers for Rise of Skywalker. First, we learn that Palpatine is back, and now we’re given the impression that Rey may do more than just flirt with the dark side in this one. My question is: What is the connection between both reveals?
