Just a Thought

So, the other day I read in news that Steven Hawkings (world renowned physicist) said that it is likely that primitive life may exist in other areas of the universe.  Then he went on to say that the likelihood of intellectual life is very unlikely because the occurrence would be very rare.  

Let me analyze this...

Scientist predict that there could be 5 -100 million different species on this planet.  They have only identified 2 million. 

Dr. Hawkings, says that the likelihood of intellectual life would be very rare.  So, alone the human species would be a rare, spontaneous event, and that's not including the millions of other species on this planet.  Plain and simply, even Steven Hawkings says that spontaneous intellectual life is not likely to occur.  Interesting?!

Nate Stats

Nate's 6 month checkup was today!!  And for all of you who are wondering how big our darling little (or not so little) boy is, here are his "stats"......

21.4 lbs

28.25 in

Wow!!  No wonder I'm having trouble carrying him around.  And a note to Tabitha, our doctor said that we may want to start giving him water (the opposite of your problem:)  The doctor said, "I'm not calling him fat, he's just all around big.  Maybe before summer, you can start giving him about 8 ounces of water to help him reduce some of the calories [from formula]!!"  I love and trust the boys' doctor, so I know his intentions were good, but I can't help but think..."is my child really that big or am I just totally blind."  Oh well, I guess love is blind, right?!    

The Website

I told some of you that I would be posting the "creation website," so I made sure I did this right away (it's at the bottom of the post).  A word of warning, the material that is covered is pretty in depth, however, I promise that it is very informative.  And for all of you math geeks  (you know who you are:), there are some references to different mathematical theories, so you will probably find that interesting.  With that being said, I still plan on writing about this topic over the next week, as there are a few other areas I want to cover.  Please let me know your thoughts.  I hope you enjoy the website!!

May I Clarify...

I wanted to state one more thing...

But first, please read the post below (otherwise you will not understand what I'm talking about!).

When refuting evolution, I will not be refuting the idea that organisms are not currently evolving, as I believe that by the hands of God, they are.  What I will be refuting, however, is the origin/creation of Earth and the force (God) by which things evolve.  I hope that makes sense!!

Also, please be sure to take the survey at the bottom right side of the page...

Question and Announcement

HAPPY 6TH MONTH BIRTHDAY NATE!!!!

I can't believe it's been 6 months...boy, time flies!!

Now, for my question--

As many of you know, I am a science geek...

I have been thinking a lot about the required inclusion of evolution in the public classroom, which led me to the idea of posting ideas and facts that refute evolutional theories.  In the past, I have studied refuting evolution (which helps me prove my faith) and I've found so many facts that I can't believe how inappropriate and inaccurate it is to only allow these theories into our public classroom.    

Anyway, with that being said (and I hope I didn't bore you), I would like to know who would be interested in this topic.  I would like to begin next week with posting a daily argument on refuting evolution.  I plan on doing this for one week only (maybe longer, by request:) and hearing (well actually, seeing) your thoughts. 

So, please let me know what you think.  Would you be interested in studying this important topic with me?  

And also for the ones who really don't care about this subject...don't worry I will still post pictures!!  :) 

I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

Driskell Boy Challenge...

I just wanted to post this picture of Carter, one, because it is really funny and, two, because he is the same age here as Nate is now (5.5 months). Then, I took a picture of Nate in the same pose so I could post it and show people their size similarities. Who do you think is the biggest?.......

Here, Carter is 5.5 months old and is about 27 inches and 19 lbs (taken from records).

In this picture Nate is 5.5 months old, about 27.5 inches and 20 lbs.....WOW!!

I wanted to add this picture because this is just a simple illustration of Nate...Happy!!!

I hope you all enjoyed these pictures as much as we did. I really had fun digging up these old pictures of Carter to see how alike they really are!! They don't really look alike (at least in my eyes), but they are definitely competing for the title of "Biggest Driskell Baby!!"

The "Sucker Trees"

Thank you, Sarona, for this great idea!! As many of you know, we have been growing Sucker trees for the past 2 weeks. Contrary to this picture, no, suckers do not actually grow from seeds (actually, in this case, roasted coffee beans). But try telling that to a 2 year old!! I joke with people that I am probably messing him up by doing this. However, I did ask Carter if he thought suckers grew out of the ground or if he thought mommy put the suckers in the pots. And just as I predicted, he figured it all out...."Mommy put them in the pot!" I can't fool him!!

Carter was so excited for his suckers to "grow!"

Unfortunately, Nate could not make it for this photo opportunity. But I know Carter is more than happy to take care of Nate's Sucker trees!!

Daddy and Son!!

I love how Nate is looking at Jeremy in this picture. Jeremy loves these boys with all his heart. I am truly blessed to have such a great husband!!
