Just because your hammer works great on nails, doesn't mean you should use it on screws, staples, and buttons. Just because science can be really useful in solving practical engineering or medical problems, doesn't mean it can answer metaphysical questions about the substance of reality. <br /><br />Science is based on <a href="http://www.ldsphilosopher.com/?p=195" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">premises</a> that are assumed, and then used to interpret data. But a premise, by its nature, cannot be proven, only assumed. So we have to be really cautious about treating our assumed premises as though we'd proven them.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14498290529550647229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8426723056163837913.post-19065101190478851782009-08-31T13:05:16.539-06:002009-08-31T13:05:16.539-06:00I think that John Chambers is the John Chambers I ...I think that John Chambers is the John Chambers I mean.

It can be a little hard to understand, at least spatially, but it's very cool.<br /><br />It seems that the closer you get to our Father in Heaven, the more you study His words and those of His prophets, the more often tiny corners of the veil seem to be lifted. I think that if any mortal being on this planet would know about some of the mysteries of the universe, it'd be Joseph Smith. He was allowed to see so much that the rest of us just can't see yet.Sarah Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09788155683857492789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8426723056163837913.post-57067674320795942392009-08-30T09:46:48.578-06:002009-08-30T09:46:48.578-06:00You are welcome, Mormon Mummy.

I like to keep these posts about the topic of the blog in question, but I gotta ask...Do you know John Chambers and his wife? He's a long-time fan who visited my family many years ago when he came to America. Went on a mission to Italy. Neat guy.Chris Heimerdingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02000418124642779132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8426723056163837913.post-22179268889878134652009-08-30T07:01:30.465-06:002009-08-30T07:01:30.465-06:00I love reading everything you write!

I'm trying to write a book (Been working on it off and on for a decade) and years ago when I used to tell people of my idea, because it involves time travel, everyone would tell me to read the tennis shoes books but they're harder to come by here in Australia so i didn't get the chance and then I started writing my story (It originated as a bedtime story that had the opposite affect than sending my brother to sleep). Then when I met my husband he gave me Daniel and Nephi to read, Wow what an amazing book that is!! So it turned out that he had all the tennis shoes books to date and so I read them all within a few weeks. They're so inspiring and gave me a renewed desire to write my book, so thank you. And thank you for all your further insights too.Mormon Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12846357106559739742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8426723056163837913.post-86204323917158457972009-08-29T00:49:01.519-06:002009-08-29T00:49:01.519-06:00This was a very interesting post.

Your post really puts into words what is so hard to explain to someone who does not believe. One argument my sister holds to about evolution is if we came from apes why are there still apes around and why have we not evolved into anything greater than a human? It makes me laugh and then it makes you think a little more. My knowledge (once again) is so limited in this area and it was nice to read your thoughts and truths from our prophets.aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07356042175836068734noreply@blogger.com
