Motto: Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around

 > That is actually my motto. At least for this section of my life.

 

 > Possibly the strangest addition to the column ever will be my next point, I’ve been thinking it for years, and I’ve finally found a pretty good example.

 

 > I think the best evidence for the existence of God comes from mathematics. Not really any God in particular, but just some Holy being, or at least some all powerful source. The laws of mathematics I find are much too perfect to be coincidental- such as the Pythagorean Theorem. I feel like they have to have been constructed by somebody- or something. To a lesser extent, I feel the same about the laws of physics. Now I’ve actually thought this for years, and I only bring it up today because of a little bit of boredom research into the “divine number” it lead me to a page that has a list of facts and formulas that pretty much blew me away…. Plus there’s a picture drawing of a naked lady on the very very bottom so- I guess that helps its credibility somehow, doesn’t it?

 > I think I might have offended a few people with that last point, so if I did… Suck it up.

 >  Sorry I didn’t update for a while. I was busy. It won’t happen again (for a few days…)
