Hi Bob,

Lauren and I met Darlene and Krystl  at the ice rink.
It has been awhile since the two girls have seen each
other.  Lauren seemed to enjoy the time together.
Krystl is surely maturing. She is developing a young
lady of 15 years. Krystl was a little unsure of her ice
feet  but  seemed to get the  hang of it with in an hour.
She met some  of  Lauren's ice friends. It's been such
a long time and I wonder what  teenagers  talk about
in today's world. All I can do is watch as they gather
and huddle together and  I wonder They may skate again 
tomorrow. 
Darlene and I had a nice talk. Share  concerns  of bringing
up teenagers in  today's world ; talk about the losses in 
your  family ;  heard about the terrible car accidents  and 
talked about end times.
Darlene says you wrote  a paper on where the Anti-Christ  may 
come from. That sounds interesting.
I told her  about a computer in europe  that  was used in a test of
small  cashless scotland village. It was a trial run  and  the 
super computer  was nick named the beast.
Well, Bob, i do believe  the end  days are coming quickly. People
just  do not  realize  how quick things can change. In a twinkling
of an eye  this world  could be thrust into unimaginable turmoil.
Pray all his sheep  will their eyes on Him.
did you check out  www.reasons.org  it  is a worthwhile site  especially
if you have some scientific type people  that  need  this kind of presentation.
Here is an excerpt of one article

"Isn't the universe infinite?

Radio Spot

" … it really does matter, and matters very much, how we think about the cosmos," says author, historian, and 
college
president George Roche. Unfortunately, the predominant world view is that the universe is infinite, and therefore, 
the dice of
chance can be thrown as often as necessary to explain even such amazing improbabilities as atoms self-
assembling into living
things. 

However, in this decade, astronomers and physicists have proven that the universe is finite— in time and in 
extent. Though it
is extremely old and big, it is still absurdly too young and absurdly too small to explain life's coming together by 
natural
processes. Furthermore, astronomers have gone on to prove that the universe requires a Creator, a Creator who 
exists
beyond our dimensions of space and time. Of all the writings forming the basis for the different religions of the 
world, only
one, the Bible, agrees with these latest scientific breakthroughs. 

We live in a day when findings every year at the frontiers of research in astronomy, physics, and other fields, 
simply multiply
the weight of evidence for the supernatural accuracy of the Bible. "

Hugh Ross has lots of biblical support for his belief in long days  to account
for the biblical account of time line  and generations.  That's ok. I
just believe  God did it.  
The creation story as I think about it does not not need long days.

1st,  assume  with  God  time  is not as  we  perceive it.

2nd,  In our way of thinking, an act of creation involves   the key concept of time.
To us something that is brought into being did not exist before.

However,  Creation concept may be different  to God. 
For example: Creation could mean to God something that becomes  part of  eternity.
Then to God,  creation of something  might automatically imply the instantaneous
creation of  that something's  past, present and future.

So if the universe  and  our  Planet were created 5000 years ago
in a given  state,  then all  past  and  future  existence  of  that
created event  could  be extrapolated  from the initial conditions, If you were God.
Interesting to speculate but bottom line is God did it.

Well,  gotta go for now, May God Bless and Keep you, Jim
