Analytical Proof
Analytical proof is the science of logical analysis. If something cannot be proven wrong then it must be right. Example: I am wearing a shirt, it is made out of cotton. I believe there is a creator, because no one has proven it wrong. God exists because thats what I have faith in. Without him there would be no earth or anything, he is the one that made everything and made it for a reason. I could see how some scientists would like to deny God, they want to believe that us humans created earth, and they made all of these inventions, or even earth came from something and no one created it. They want the credit for something so amazing. But in the end after all of there accusations God is the one I believe who created everything. It's the only logical way.
What are you trying to prove?
Definition of Apologetics: Apologetics is the branch of Christianity that deals with the defense and establishment of the Christian faith.
If I were to choose a side on which I relate to more it would be, one who thinks no logical person could fail to believe in God.
Hard science vs Soft science:
Hard science and soft science are pretty different, in ways such as hard science is more reliable and has scientific facts, it is defined and measured. Soft science is more of a observation, based on expierence and is less dependable, and less precise. Examples of hard science: "That table weighs 20 pounds" or "That clock is 25 years old" Examples of soft science: "That car jumps a lot when you drive it" or "That tree may fall soon." Some questions that could be addressed by hard science is: "When you die where do you go when you die?" or "How many days did it take God to make the world?" Some questions that could be addressed by soft science are: "How come we have animals on earth?" or "Why did God have Jesus die on the cross for our sins?"
Grade nine has been pretty eventful, I am so glad I got to spend this year with all of these people. I have had some awesome memories with my friends, all the laughter and moments in the class room and out of, I will never forget. Our trip to Pioneer Ranch was so much fun, all the activities were a blast, I thought that it was a really good way to get to know people you normally do not talk to or hang out with. Everyone seemed to have had a great time, It was a great place to strengthen friendships and grow closer to God. There were some really challenging times this year. A difficult time for me was with my friends and even the people in my grade this year, typical high school drama. I also had a really hard time this year in regards to my arm and having the Illizarov on it. Also now with this rod in my arm, it has been hard for me to not be able to do some things my friends and classmates have done, sitting out of activities has been really hard for me. I think being different in this way was very hard. But through all of my struggles I am so thankful to have God he has helped me through it, sometimes when I feel down or unsure of what I should do I turn to him because even when you think you have no one I can always rely on God, and know he will always be there and help me. Friends and family have also always been there for me and have guided me along to make wise choices, and help me realize what is important. I have learned so much through this year and I believe it will help me in the future, and help me make wise choices and be strong in who I am. This year I believe I have grown quite a bit in my christian faith, just for how much I have needed God and have had to believe in him, because sometimes I just don't understand why he does what he does. I do think my life has almost matured and it's not as easy as it was when I was younger. I am so excited and ready for high school, I am also nervous but I am looking forward to the new experiences and people I am going to meet. I think it will be difficult as in my studies but I am hoping my grades stay some what high. I think I am prepared for high school and the responsibilities but I think I am as prepared as I can be. I just am looking forward to being older and having new adventures. One of the most difficult things for me is my friends, and having to all go our separate ways is going to be hard, but hopefully we can still stay intouch and be friends for a long time. My goals for summer are just to enjoy what time I have to be with my friends and figure out my life and who I want to be. My goals for school will be to stay as active as I can be, keep my grades up, and be very social and just enjoy high school.
