It's a wonderful world !?

Dark Energy, Dark Matter -May 2011

Dark Energy, Dark Matter is an article which was published by NASA.

Please allow my humble reply:

Amazing universe, right?

To tell you the truth; I sometimes think that all of our universe is part of something much bigger. Think of the dishes and objects that you put on a transparent tablecloth. when you move the tablecloth, all the objects move, and for an observer standing on the transparent tablecloth the effect is inexplicable unless he fills the gaps in his knowledge with mysterious factors.

Or think about a 4th dimension (-or 5th in case you consider time the 4th!) -Can you imagine it? I barely can simulate it or project the idea to a comprehensible image in my perceived world. what if this 4th dimension is connecting 2 very distant points of our perceived universe?

Our explanation of the universe is open up to all possibilities.. it's not wrong to discover and experiment, at the opposite, it's a fantastic human characteristic, but we should realize and confess how much we are negligible in term of power and knowledge.

But as the bible tell us we are most precious in God's view to the extent he deals with us on the basis of a father to children relationship.
We are one of the most precious things in existence.

By the way; the above is a prayer glorifying God and confessing his love to us and my love to him. Really! most of the times I pray like this!

Design of the Penguins

2006-09-27T00:01:00.000-07:00

The below text was sent to the Scientific American Magazine in reply to an article published in December 2005 under the monthly ANTIGRAVITY column. In this article Mr Mirsky tries to prove that life as we know it is not the result of a design but came to what it is now by evolution.

Dear Editors,

I have comments on Mr Mirsky's ANTIGRAVITY -December 2005 issue.

I tried to guess whether Mr Mirsky Intelligently designed his article to raise doubts about his own suggestions, thus making the readers realize that there is really intelligent design that brought life to what it is now!

He wanted to demonstrate by contradiction that, for example, if the penguins are designed the way they are now then their egg shell should be more thick to allow it to rest on ice without being damaged! Thus the penguins will not need to carry it! Well, in my opinion the penguin do what it's doing simply because the design is really intelligent! If the egg shell was more thick, then it will be impossible for the small penguin to get out of it!

Also we must realize that the term "Intelligent Design" indicates that there is a designer. Religions call him God. He has great purposes. He is not only a designer, he also gives life. Holding that egg for that long time is an act of great love and sacrifice. Life without consciousness is without value. it's void.

For me the intelligent design is far more intelligent than to be seen directly as people usually expect to see it. The Intelligent design is so intelligent that it uses the evolution itself to design the world. This is God and to this extent his is so mighty.

Thank you

Elie Constantine

Nice View !?

2006-09-26T01:03:00.000-07:00

In the morning my lovely baby Anastasia woke me up before six o'clock! I hugged her between my arms for 1 hour then I took this picture from my balcony. It starts to be breezy....
I like this view but I think I would like to change it. The view from my wife's home in Russia is much more nice, in my point of view, of course. it's a forest, in summer painted in green and in winter painted with a freeze white and grey.

Israel, Lebanon

2006-07-12T23:56:00.000-07:00

July, 13th, 2006

I was really surprised yesterday when I heard that military operations got back to scene in southern Lebanon. Operations that soon extended to reach the Lebanese capital, Beirut.

Surprised I was, but; also like I was expecting it. There is always this strange feeling of instability and that there is something that is not yet done.

Using my common sense and by carefully listening to the news I am trying to anticipate any bad thing that might happen; an airstrike for example. But most importantly I am praying and counting on God to get us out of this.

to be continued....

Life in Lebanon

2006-02-15T00:55:00.000-08:00

When people ask me about life in Lebanon I usually hesitate to describe it or comment on this issue because I am afraid to give the wrong idea about the situation. Anyway What I will do here is to write the words that comes to my mind when I think about:

1- Lebanon:

Country in the Middle East,
Middle East is the center of the world conflict...

2- Life in Lebanon:

Stress,
Very Bad Economy,
Chaos,
Assassinations,
Car Bombs ("Bag" Bombs also!),
No electricity,
No Water even though there is plenty of water and rivers in Lebanon!?,
No Insurance (Social security isn't paying even though we are paying our taxes!),
No retirement plans,
Salary increase is in no match for the Cost of Living increase. Some families and individuals are really in a very bad situation.
Very bad political situation.
Most Politicians are corrupt.
Mobile Rates are the most expensive in all the world. Why!?
Green areas are shrinking.

During the 15 years (1975-1990) war, bomb shells marked nearly every building and road, in many areas buildings were demolished. A year ago (Feb-2005) and until now, even after the war has finished, explosives and assassinations are everywhere.

... Lebanon is also:

Freedom,
Revolution,
Will for Change,
Sea and montain together in a superb view,
A special living style,
No fear
.. is a "Light House" for culture and freedom

Living in Lebanon has a positive side. It makes you believe in God and allows you to have a personal relation with him, because in this country you need to pray every minute for survival.

It's really a miracle to survive in this country.

Sometimes you might convince someone of making something because you are a better negotiator, but at the end you might be confronted by facts that you can not negotiate with!

Are we alone?

2005-11-14T01:41:00.000-08:00

Are we alone in “Our World”? Or shall we say “This World”? This is a question that people always ask and think of. Personally, I don’t know for sure, but I feel it's very probable that we are not alone.

One thing we learn every day, especially if we look at the last 100 years, that we discovered things never thought of before, even by Jules Vern and Leonardo Da Vinci. Every day some amazing discoveries are been made!

So it is very possible that one day we will suddenly listen on the news that we will be visited by aliens. Or another more interesting scenario: “Live on CNN” Aliens are in a press conference in the United Nations headquarter. These are nice, peaceful and “romantic” scenarios.

Scientific scenarios includes: Signals been detected, many light years away, so the first “Hi, We are here” conversations would take many years!

But the most logical scenario is that outer space civilization been watching us for thousands of years. They have super fast ships, or they can travel long distances by using Universe Worms which enables them by applying some theories in Physics to travel very long distances in a fraction of a second!

This is the most reasonable scenario, in my opinion of course.

I think that a very advanced civilization would not come and show itself on television, at least not before, relatively speaking, humans would attain a minimal degree of civilization. I am not saying that it must be advanced as theirs but at least we should have the minimal requirements to be able to interact with them.

Possibly they would remain invisibly watching us and possibly interfering with life on earth without we notice. Why would they watch and interfere!? The answer is easy: In labs as well as in nature, why we watch other species on earth and interfere with them!? Answering why we do this might give us answer to why advanced aliens would do this to us.

Now let’s consider that in this advanced civilization there is an individual reasoning as I am doing in this article. He would come to a conclusion that there is another greater civilization watching his. Where this recursive thinking would end!? Only God knows! I am not saying “Only God knows” because I don’t know. No. It’s really because I want to consider the possibility of a civilization which is outer universe, this mean from a universe outside ours watching everybody. Umhhh… This reasoning seems endlessly recursive.

Ok, I will stop here but I want to say that for sure I know about one kingdom that is watching us; the kingdom of God.

We know very well that the kingdom of God is watching us and interfering with our life on earth for Good.

Referring to the first sentence, at the beginning of this article, it’s easy and logical to conclude that, whatever we were alone or not it’s our world anyway.

Long time didn't write

Analyze this

2004-12-04T05:39:00.000-08:00

Well.. I just feel I have lot of things to talk about but sometimes I feel that I only have to look and contemplate.
