Mar. 28, 2006 [Written in the spirit of this article] I've looked into lightning as a natural phenomenon, and I don't buy it. The atheist scientists try to tell us that GD isn't a valid theory, I think they are mistaken. GD stands for God Lighting, for those that aren't familiar. Here's the evidence. God is, well, “up there”, and lighting comes from “up there”. Lots of old myths have the notion that gods threw lightning bolts – it's a very old idea. God likely threw a bolt to set that famous bush on fire for Moses, and so forth. Each and every lighting bolt has a plan behind it. Sure, a forest fire may seem like a bad idea, but only if you consider the world as running itself. God controls nature and sometimes, God needs to flush out old-growth forests and expensive homes. The reasons don't matter – he is God, after all. Most of the “evidence” comes in the form of an attack on the other side, however. So, let's look at what the other side claims. First, we cannot escape the fact that no one has ever seen an electron! These supposed bits of electricity – I'm not buying it folks. Besides, what are electrons made of?? Nothing, they tell us! Electrons are known as fundamental particles, that is, they cannot be broken down further. Sounds fishy to me. So, these things JUST ARE? And we are supposed to believe that they just naturally accumulate in clouds and randomly hit the ground from time to time? If we had some idea of just what in the heck an electron was, folks, or if we'd ever actually see one, I'd accept the natural lighting theory a little easier... Lightning is made how, exactly? No one is really sure! True fact, folks. We've all heard the bit about clouds and charges building up, etc., but recent experiments indicate that this isn't enough on its own to cause the actual formation of the bolt. Here's what the atheist scientists “threw” in to make lighting work, this is from WikiPedia's page on lighting: When sufficient negatives and positives gather in this way, and when the electric field becomes sufficiently strong, an electrical discharge occurs within the clouds or between the clouds and the ground, producing the bolt. It has been suggested by experimental evidence that these discharges are triggered by cosmic ray strikes which ionise atoms, releasing electrons that are accelerated by the electric fields, ionising other air molecules and making the air conductive by a runaway breakdown, then starting a lightning strike. During the strike, successive portions of air become conductive as the electrons and positive ions of air molecules are pulled away from each other and forced to flow in opposite directions (stepped channels called step leaders). Cosmic rays? So, lighting works by invisible beams from space? Folks, that's as loony as the suggestion that life was brought to Earth on comets. Clearly, they don't know what the heck is going on, so they push the issue into some further, unknown, territory. People sometimes get hit by lighting. What are the ODDS, folks? Cosmic rays forcing a chain reaction in clouds which just happen to be over someone making a “random” stepped-leader down to that someone's head? Please. The chances are ludicrous, folks. God must be behind it. Now, you can go to mainstream websites about lightning and they will answer all of your questions. However, such places have preconceived ideas – they already accept weather as a natural phenomenon going-in, and they accept electrons as already existing. You gotta see both sides of the story, folks. I recommend you visit a GL sight today to get the other side of the story before you make up your mind. Remember, electrons and electromagnetism are just theories, not facts. The moral is, folks, never let little tidbits such as near-unanimous support from scientists or massive evidence get in the way of your personal feelings. Lighting as a natural phenomena, like evolution, is just degrading – it just doesn't feel right! Where is God in that picture, after all?!?! Besides, to understand the “scientific” view takes effort, and we can't have that... ------------ About the author Frederick Smith: I enjoy writing about the positive virtues of humanism - humanists are the good guys. I now have a blog that I will start to increasingly maintain and update. Here is the link: fredsuberview.blogspot.com/ About my personal background and life: I was born, I got some education, worked, ate, and had some kids. It seems I like to write � something that was unknown to me until relatively recently...How's that for detail? ;) Hate mail is welcome unless you are from the Army Of God. Please! It's not that I mind seeing pictures of aborted fetuses in my inbox, but once you've seen one you've pretty much seen them all...
