Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. —RC Sproul "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." —Mark Twain " ~"If that's not sufficient for you go soak your head."~Faith Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.~Proverbs 28:26

As Jerry Lewis passes, I am reminded of two of EvC own who passed and of how though I never met these people I knew of them vicariously through their words--Robin Rohan and Buzzsaw.
With Jerry, of course--the memory endures through his many movies. With Robin and Buzz, the memory is only found through the words they casually wrote here at EvC. Often as I browse through our archives and come across some of what they wrote, I remember that they are no longer with us.Chance as a real force is a myth.

I had never heard of him, but upon googling, found that he made some great stuff in his life. He impacted the world in a positive way---what more can we expect from our lives?

As I was editing this post(1.61803 beat me to the 9 lives comment) I began to reflect on why we (here at EvC) post obituaries of notable people in the first place.
There are many whom we overlook. Here are several *we* overlooked in May:
Eric Talmadge Imagine having a heart attack while running to stay in shape! But he accomplished a lot with his life.
Gunther Cunningham They go on and on. The ones whom we know we post about. When our own Buzsaw passed, we collectively mourned for someone we knew only through the internet. The same with our beloved Queen Asgara. It caused me to reflect this morning. Faith and I are involved in apologetic discussions defending God, eternal life, and infinite eternal purpose, but the fact remains that we too will die someday. And what will our obituary say?~Reflections. Edited by Thugpreacha, : broadened scope of reflection this morning Chance as a real force is a myth.

You always seem to insist on displaying the skeletons in everyone's closet.We all have skeletons. Our legacy is made from the good we have done and not the mistakes we have made.
Kobes premature death was impactful to me because his precious little daughter also died. 200 million dollars cant save anyone when their day of reckoning comes due. When anyone passes, not everyone uniformly loves them nor mourns their passing. Why focus on that, however? RIP Kobe. The only way I know to drive out evil from the country is by the constructive method of filling it with good.lvin Coolidge "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " As the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, so the denial of God is the height of foolishness.-RC Sproul, Essential Truths of the Christian Faith - You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.

NPR writes: Country music icon Kenny Rogers, whose hits included "Lucille," "Lady" and "The Gambler," died late Friday at his home in Sandy Springs, Ga., his family said in a statement. He was 81. The Houston-born country star had 20 No.-1 hits and three Grammys and performed for some 60 years before retiring from touring in 2017 at age 79, according to the Associated Press. Rogers didn't write most of his hits and often said he didn't consider himself much of a songwriter. But he told NPR in 2012 that he had a knack for picking songs that could draw in the listener. I always liked him.The only way I know to drive out evil from the country is by the constructive method of filling it with good.Calvin Coolidge "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " As the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, so the denial of God is the height of foolishness.-RC Sproul, Essential Truths of the Christian Faith - You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.
