Well, you have made it this far. From here, you have a few things to do. First, you must post a comment to my blog. This means that you have to click the "comment" section and type something in there to let me know that you've read this entire message. Remember, everything has to be positive and clean.
Next, you have to create your own Blogger account. Follow the links on this page to create your own Blog and then email me with your URL so I can look at your page. Make sure that you email me at work: kaseys@excelsior.com.
Lastly, you must post a blog for at least three (3) days of the week long break. You can tell us anything that you want us to know such as what you have done during the time off, what you think of this project, will you use this for anything else, etc.? Additionally, you must reply to at least 4 other Blogs from your classmates. I will make sure that you can get to their Blogs to view them.
Be creative and have fun. This is a little similar to MySpace, and it shouldn't take you too long to get the hang of it all.
Enjoy and let's see the extra credit pile up!

Einstein's logic
You'll love this student's retort to his atheistic professor. Wonderful, useful logic when witnessing to nonbelievers.
Did God create everything that exists? Does evil exist? Did God create evil? A University professor at a well known institution of higher learning challenged his students with this question.
"Did God create everything that exists?"
A student bravely replied, "Yes he did!"
"God created everything?" The professor asked.
"Yes sir, he certainly did," the student replied.
The professor answered, "If God created everything; then God created evil. And, since evil exists, & according to the principle that our works define who we are, then we can assume God is evil."
The student became quiet & did not respond to the professor's hypothetical definition. The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the religious faith was a myth.
Another student raised his hand & said, "May I ask you a question, professor?"
"Of course," replied the professor. The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?"
"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you neverbeen cold?"
The other students snickered at the young man's question. The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Everybody or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, & heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460F) is the total absence of heat; & all matter becomes inert & incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does notexist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat."
The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?"
The professor responded, "Of course it does."
The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact, we can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors & study the various wave lengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness & illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."
Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?"
Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course, as I have already said. We see it everyday. It is in the daily examples of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime & violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil."
To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness & cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat, or the darkness that comes when there is no light."
The professor sat down.
