history channel.

On neptune, wind speeds can get up to 1000mph. I was watching the history channel this morning. Various scientists were talking about the history of the greatest storms in the UNIVERSE...literally. They talked about these storms in relation to catastrophes here on earth. They spoke of hurricanes twice the size of earth, battery acid rain, methane rain, storms that are lasting through centuries. The show prior to this talk of the universal storms, scientists were talking about meteors hitting the earth. They had found miraculous evidence of impact meteors, which are meteors that turn to gas before they hit the earths surface, but because of great forces and speeds, the gases actually hit the earth leaving a huge impression many times the size of the actual meteor. Some scientists believe that these meteors can not only destroy the earth and life on it, but also bring new life.

i sat on my bed in awe of not only what they were saying, but the picture on my tv screen. i was watching the history channel in HD, but thats beside the point. Everything about the earth is so huge and overwhelming!! we have no control over anything that happens, and all we can do if there is a meteor coming straight for us, is pray that our computers detect it intime for our defensive mechanism to shoot at it to knock it off its course.

Scientists used to believe that higher wind speeds resulted from the more percentage of sunlight a planet was getting. but, this case was proven wrong by neptune, which gets only 1% of the sunlight that earth does. Neptune is freezing cold, dark with amazing wind speeds, and terrifying storms. But it is one of the most beautiful planets i saw on my HD tv screen.

And out of my philisophical mindset came a metaphor for life from this planet called neptune. :]

There are winds, where its dark OR light, but because of the friction we experience, the winds are reduced. friction is good.

God created the earth with trees and mountains that reduce the speed of winds. He placed this beauty all around us which is evidence of gods existence and majesty through his creation alone. [paul argues this in romans]

Furthermore, paul suggests that there is a sense of moral right and wrong, good and evil, in every person, and that this sense is part of the image of god stamped onto our hearts and minds. God created us, and he reveals himself to us through nature and through our moral conscience, yet many of us still refuse to acknowledge or obey him as god. therefore, paul says, those who do so are without excuse. Here is where minds are dark, and most confused.

It is in the sun that we see clearly. In the dark things will not grow that block the winds from gaining speed around. In the sun, There may be friction, but its that very friction that slows the winds and brings new life. It is most beautiful the calm after the storm.
