Science Has Been Compromised: 04-07-2026
- Science has zero intelligence.
- Like intelligence, science has no power of its own.
- Science has no intelligence of its own to share with anyone.
- Science is not a mini-god who can bestow intelligence on you.
- Worshipping science will not increase your intelligence, but it will lower your perspective-taking abilities.
- The only payoff for believing in science is that you can feel superior to those who do not; however, acknowledging actual scientific work (repeatable, testable) is often useful.

One Story for All: 04-06-2026
- Wake up and work for God’s story because yours is forgotten every day.
- There is only one story in life, and it is not yours or humanity’s; it is God’s.
- You can work for God’s story by following His will, not your own.
- You can be on the side of the story that explains how Christ overcame human nature, or you can be on the side of the story that explains how human nature needed to be overcome.
- If you choose to live for Jesus’s story, you will go to Heaven and praise Him there forever. If you choose to live for your own or humanity’s story, you will go to Hell and agonizingly recite its failings there.
