Dedicated in general to the online world of atheists, evolutionists, naysayers, but in particular to ark/zande/nan/violet/argus/steve/mike/tabster/marvel/scott/ etc etc, and of course specifically to believers, here and abroad.
Music. The universal language that evolution cannot explain, and the language of the human spirit that embarrasses atheism, FOR, man is made in the image of God, and has the innate desire and ability to CREATE.
The song of the bird is wonderful to the ear, yet the song of the Chinese is understood by the Russian who doesn’t understand a word of English. Isadora Duncan the pioneer of modern dance, when asked to explain how and why she dances, replied: ‘if I could explain it, I would not be able to dance it,’ more or less were her words. She knew God could not be put in a box.
She latched onto expressing what was broken by way of Babel, what was separated by way of communication, the distance that cannot be bridged by sin, that can be reunited through symphony. The agreement of music testifies to the tuning by the Maestro, that worldwide, the language of the spirit is God given, and understandable, since God’s handiwork is clearly evident, being understood by the things that are seen.
Atheism has a son, a bastard known as evolution, with a one eyed father known as Ego, and both are slain by music. Enjoy this testament to God, language, and countries without borders. Ah yes, love.
(PS- Go ahead and laugh at the country boy singing with a polished opera singer, but do so to your own shame. Go ahead and ignore the fact that the language of the heart through song is understood by the Japanese who do not know a word of Czech. Go ahead and ignore the Creator through people who create. Go ahead and ignore the freedom and liberty to pursue all good things given by God. Perhaps your closed eyes may open today. Perhaps.)

You and Wally are both wrong. You have no ability to understanding anything outside of your indoctrinated beliefs of what is only one of many ideological concepts for man to accept.
You are conditioned emotionally to accept beliefs without question of a superior being and a scriptural doctrine that will ultimately supress your tolerance and rational thoughts in many obviously real, observable and factual issues. This can be either a good or a bad situation for religious individuals.
This ideological methodology of thinking has to be supported by pure faith, whereas individuals who are schooled in reality and evidence would be unable to rationalise and accept such issues that are expected to exist in the concept of a supernatural world.
