Four Theories of Origins of Life
There are currently four generally accepted theories as to how life came to exist here on our planet (or in the universe). Random chance God created it Anthropic principle Biocentric Random Chance Theory Some believe life and came to exist on our planet through sheer random chance, that is was a simple numbers game. Carl Segan popularized the Drake Equation which predicts the probability of life existing on a planet somewhere else in...
Reset Button Theory
Introduction I believe that almost everyone experiences pivotal events in their lives which act as a ‘reset button.’ These events cause us to question the reality which we believed to be true–and more often than not, this questioned reality is an adopted reality. The outcome after passing through a ‘reset button’ experience is we reject an adopted reality and replace it with a new belief based up personal...
Waiting for an Appointment
Perhaps one of my biggest pet peeves is making an appointment with a business professional, like a doctor, and then sitting and waiting in a reception room for 30 or 40 minutes before the person will see me. Medical doctors seem to be the worst at this. I believe if we didn’t feel deathly ill and not have other easy options, most of us would walk out and go elsewhere with our business. The big question is, how long do you feel is...

After pondering this for several years, I finally developed a theory to explain this strange phenomenon which I later dubbed simply the “Time Acceleration Theory.” Ok, here is what...

At first I was dumbfounded; how in the world could anyone function without an alarm clock? To me, this was almost like living without electricity or modern plumbing. The alarm clock was the safety backup mechanism to make sure you got up on time for important appointments etc. I had relied on it for half my life...
When Do You Walk Out of a Movie
At what point will you walk out of a movie? I faced this decision last night at Avatar Imax 3D. I chose to walk out. Why? About 30 minutes into the movie as the story moved to the first scenes of Jake exploring the forest the picture went wacky. It split into two images which was extremely painful to view on the eyes–much less so when removing the glasses. This disturbing problem continued for almost another 10 minutes all through...
