: "These are pictures I took by hanging cameras from kites, a hobby I've played with on and off over the years. To get the camera to take pictures, I built a 555 timer circuit that, every 13 seconds, throws a relay wired to the camera's shutter button. I used a small delta kite (larger ones on the way) and a cheap $30 digital camera with a large SD card."

bethinking.org | Resource: The Historicity of the New Testament: "One of the central claims of Christianity is that Jesus of Nazareth was the incarnate Son of God who died on the cross to atone for the sins of humanity and rose bodily from the dead.

Sex, drugs and dating make teens feel older: "Researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, with assistance from the University of Victoria, surveyed a random sample of nearly 700 adolescents from a medium-sized North American city and asked them questions about dating, sexual experience, smoking, alcohol and drug use. The participants, males and females between 12 to 19 years of age, were also asked how old they felt compared to their same-sex peers. Survey results indicated that, as is typical for teens, the sample felt older than their chronological age."

Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus"Various questions about Jesus of Nazareth have often been asked by critics and sojourners of religious thought. Indeed, this is an important question for each rationally thinking person to answer if she is to conclude that Christianity is preferable over rival world views. However, in the wake of evidence for God's existence we tend to cease our pursuit of metaphysical inquiry. This seems to be the case because of our cultural contentment for believing in some sort of deity apart from any theological context. Religious belief is perceived as a "private inner belief" that is not a matter of public scrutiny. Although religious belief is certainly private this is not to say that such a belief is necessarily groundless or beyond criticism. The fact is the avoidance of a religious conclusion evinces an assumption that Christianity is not true. Is it the case that Christianity is not a matter of evidence but a "blind faith"? Is it the case that Christianity is not substantiated by any available evidence or is there independent evidence for the foundation for Christian belief? In this essay, we will survey what it means to pursue evidence for Christianity in the person and work of Jesus of Nazareth. The Apostle Paul once remarked, "If Christ has not been raised then your faith is futile" (1 Corinthians 15:17; NIV). This makes Resurrection studies a paramount issue, if not the ultimate radix, of substantiating Christian belief. Prefacing this discussion will be the role of history in Christian evidence and how history ought to approach religious claims. If an analysis of historical documentation does not prove that Jesus really rose from the dead in bodily form then we must concede that the Apostle Paul's condition has been met resulting in a futility of such belief."
