I’ve been meaning to blog about the new iMac since it came out recently – now I will. Lynnie and I both agree that the iMac looks “sick” after viewing them online and then on Saturday at the mall. I dunno if and when I’ll get one but if I did I’d be stoked for sure. Oh, and I’d choose the 24 inch model.

Now, I often wonder along the following lines and try to relate them to more important things. So, how about this for a crazy idea – the iMac displays all the hallmarks of creative, intelligent design. Simply, the designers at Apple took what was in their minds and skillyfully impressed it upon physical material to produce this product.

The iMac is the product of creative design. On the inside, the updated hardware (Up to 2.8GHz dual-core Intel processor, up to 1 Terrabyte of storage and Advanced graphics from ATI) is the platform for the non-physical software (Mac OSX) to ride upon and operate. On the outside, the sleek brushed aluminum case and new glass-over-LCD screen improves the look on the screen no end. All this didn’t come together on its own. Not only does the iMac display all the obvious features of design but consider this – only a few decades ago a computer this powerful would have taken up an entire room. Now, all of this computing power is packed into a flat-screen monitor! Such micro sizing of technology is a strong indicator of very intelligent design.

Herein, lays the duality of godless thought – on one hand to praise the creators of such products as the iMac yet on the other profess to be wise all the while denying the Designer who made the world which clearly itself bears the hallmarks of design. The iMac is an incredible feat of creativity, careful engineering and precision production…(plus some brilliant marketing) and yet its hardly a scratch on the design and creativity shown in the natural world all the way down to a molecular level. Would you let someone persuade you to believe that the iMac climbed “mount improbable” fueled by chance? I wouldn’t think so. Then don’t be inconsistent in your thinking when it comes to the world and you yourself.

We were created by an immensively powerful, intelligent, timeless, creative, rational, orderly and transcendent Creator. Thankfully, He has been so kind and gracious to reveal Himself to us. His name? Jesus. (John 1:1)

I found this presentation by EDGES TV to be a very careful and apologetic account of who Jesus was and is. Its a very good 10 min video clip that we might want to learn from and work into our own Biblical way of witnessing.

A good friend of mine, Stevie Moore, told me once that a Christian should always seek to do whatever they can, where they are in regards to serving the Lord. Since moving to Australia, I’ve not had too many opportunities to serve in the local church since I’m all new to the place etc. I’ve since been able to do a few things but in the time between then and now, his advice was not far away in my thinking. Now, I don’t know if all of you know about this testimony video I filmed in June.  Its of a man in my church called Peter Donnelly. I’ve surfed with him and he’s got quite a testimony.

Peter grew up rejecting God and then got attracted to Buddhism. After searching for enlightenment in Buddhism and eastern religions he found truth and salvation in Christ Jesus.
