    "I shall here write my thoughts without order, and not perhaps in unintentional confusion; that is true order, which will always indicate my object by its very disorder. I should do too much honour to my subject, if I treated it with order, since I want to show that it is incapable of it" (Pascal, Pensees 373).

    "The heritage of values which has been received and handed down is always challenged...To challenge does not necessarily mean to destroy or reject a priori, but above all to put these values to the test in one's own life, and through this existential verification to make them more real, relevant and personal, distinguishing the valid elements in the tradition from false and erroneous ones, or from obsolete forms which can be usefully replaced by others more suited to the times" (John Paul II, Centesimus Annus).



    "If there were no obscurity, man would not be sensible of his corruption; if there were no light, man would not hope for a remedy. Thus, it is not only fair, but advantageous to us, that God be partly hidden and partly revealed; since it is equally dangerous to man to know God without knowing his own wretchedness, and to know his own wretchedness without knowing God" (Pascal, Pensees 686).


    Cryptography is the study of means of converting information from comprehensible form into an incomprehensible format--the art of encryption. In the past, cryptography helped ensure secrecy in important communications, such as those of spies.



    Icon (n): a graphic symbol that denotes a program or a command or a data file or a concept in a graphical user interface; a visual representation of an object or scene or person or abstraction produced on a surface; a religious image on a small panel--venerated in the Eastern Church.



    If I could through myself / Set your spirit free / I'd lead your heart away / See you break, break away / Into the light / And to the day.

"The conjunction of naturalism with the belief that human beings have evolved in conformity with current evolutionary doctrine--'evolution' for short--is in a certain interesting way self-defeating or self-referentially incoherent."

Don't worry about debate, I know it will go great. Anyway everyone that will be at the debate most likely already agrees with your side so the other side has to be much more convincing. And like I told you before your best is all you can do, and sometimes your best is just not good enough, but if you tried and did your best then no one can ask for more.

The debate was intitled "Does God have a Place in Science?" One side said you must have God to explain how the universe was created and the other side stated that God is not need in any case to show how everything was created in science so far. We already had the debate and the side for God won, althought the other side did very well considering they had a disadvantage because everyone there were already against them.
