This one's good.
Random and pointless, but enjoyable.
This one is extremely inappropriate, mom and dad don't watch :-) or at least don't judge me.

Hike Up Mt. Timp
Mel, Myself, and some of our family hiked the backside of Mount Timpanogos last Saturday. It was a long hike but very fulfilling once we got to the top. Here's some pictures of that incredible experience. I suggest everyone here in Utah does this at least once.
We went on the most beautiful day possible.
I'm all about the bandana when hiking. Here we signed the book of life :-)
How beautiful God's creation
Is she eating a rock??
There's all ya'll WAY below us :-)
We really did have that much fun :-)
Proof of how long this hike was is all over Uncle Allan's back.

Ken Miller on Evolution
The first time evolution was taught to me I contracted an odd fascination with it. I read an article about a month ago about Mike Einziger (the guitarist for Incubus) and how he is in correspondence with Ken Miller, a professor at Brown University and a foreman in evolution/intelligent design debates. Ken Miller has this "rock star" image and style about him. He is well versed in recent research and popular scientific thought and portrays them in a way that's understandable to everyone and oddly entertaining. I just finished watching a lecture he gave on evolution at Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Check it out if you have time it's very interesting and fun, complete with clips of him on the Colbert Report.
Also here is the link to the article about Mike Einziger and Ken Miller

Evolution v. Intelligent Design Debates
I spent some time these past three days watching scholars debate the legitimacy of the evolution theory and trying to come up with an alternate theory. I firmly believe that evolution is the mechanism by which God created and still creates life. This said I also would quickly amend that view if, after I die, God tells me otherwise. The evidence supporting evolution is quite robust. I myself believe in a God of understanding, one who's purpose is our eternal progression. Progression in my mind includes learning and understanding who we are, where we came from, and who we will be. With all the fossil records left for us to study, plant life that has obviously evolved through natural and artificial selection, and many other species which have many indications of natural selection's hand in play, I find it hard to believe that God gives us these evidences if the theory is false. God does not confuse, instead he enlightens and magnifies, so theories of dinosaur bones coming from different planets or other ideas of that nature trying to debunk evolution seem inconsistent with the construct I have of who God is.
Anyway here's a debate that I found particularly interesting and fun (believe it or not). The reason I liked it is that the guys supporting evolution are Christians! Imagine that. Watch if you're interested. There's eight videos, here is the first.
