| Introduction | I am a Christian. I believe that Christianity has something important to say about every aspect of life. Therefore, my faith affects my view of the world and every decision I make. I also love my wife and think she is the most wonderful person ever created. I believe God has created people to interact with the world. Therefore, it is valuable to pray, watch movies, think about philosophy, play sports, sing, and eat good food, (among countless other activities). I also believe that people are valuable no matter who they are, what they believe, or how they live. Therefore, it is important to be respectful of people in every interaction and to work for justice, goodness, beauty, truth, and mercy in every endeavor. Regrettably, I am also a wretched sinner who acts inconsistently with my beliefs and convictions at every turn. So, I apologize and repent in advance for the ways I offend, annoy, and otherwise fall short of my Christian vision for life. |

Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?
Nope...other way around. That's why "sporks" have vestigial prongs.
