FAITH

-
Faith is the acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove.
Does this then mean I have no faith since I give my imagination a logical background and I always have to have some semblance of factualism? Does this then mean, once again I ask, that I have no faith??

Or can we split faith into the following: the non-visual and the tangible, blind faith and seeing faith? 

Perhaps I have the latter because; I like to believe I’m not completely faithless. If I did not have faith to a greater degree, I would be completely immersed in the sea of cynicism with a bleak and watery outlook for the present and the future.

I believe there is goodness in people and I hold there is great optimism about the future; and, since optimism is a major element of faith, this then leads to one logical conclusion only – I HAVE FAITH, yes indeed I do…. of the seeing and tangible category.

What "image " is GOD..?

The Bible, (according to the book of Genesis) says that God made us in his own image. Ok, fair enough..... But, what "image" is this exactly? Is it the Homo Sapiens? But..... the Homo Sapiens has been in existence for approximately five hundred thousand (500, 000) years. Mean-while, the Earth has been in existence for a little over four and a half (4.55) BILLION years (give or take 1%...). And the Human Race has no known affiliated residence of abode be-sides Earth. So, what image was this "man" that GOD created billions of years ago and what  "image" is GOD then if Humans are fashioned after him be-fore they (humans) came in-to existence? Ok, let us give room for skepticism and presume man did not originate from a single organism.... Good? Ok. Some automatons will say that is not a physical image, but a SPIRITUAL one. Ok. Let us look at this closely.... Let us start from the the Hominoidae; also known as the Grea

Writings in the Sands of Time...

This happened to me some-time in the middle of February, 2011 A guide took me to a very deserted beach with-in the Lekki axis in Lagos State, Nigeria called the Ilasan beach.  It was very quiet, no sound save for the waves beating against the shore-line trying to over-power it with-out success. My guide promptly retreated out of sight as he sensed I did not need his guidance here. Smart fellow. I looked around me and had the feeling that I was the only human standing in the New World waiting to welcome the cross-overs from the Old World. I felt I was the inhabitant of another planet as there was not an iota of civilisation in sight with the exception of a once proud ship whose progress had been abruptly stopped by the First (1st) Battalion of Sand guarding the shore-line. It had been slapped in the face several ways by Mother Nature for daring to enter her territory.  A sorry sight to be-hold, in-deed it was. I looked at the ship and I wondered if it had contained membe
