It is said that the Bible is not a science book. That is true. Science books were written by men attempting to describe the things of God, while at the same time, removing God from the equation. The Bible does not function on such illogic. It has never issued a second, third or fourth edition. The Bible does not waiver or change based on scientific trends or theories of the day, for the Bible is ultimate truth and ultimate truth cannot change. According to John 1, Hebrews 1 and Colossians 1, Jesus is the maker of all things and Romans 1 says that we can get to know the Creator through the things that were made. If Jesus is the Creator and we can get to know the Creator through creation, should we not study what that creation is according to scripture? After all, Jesus himself disagreed with modern scientific claims. The fact that Jesus disagreed with modern science should not scare us as modern Christians. It should empower us to investigate the claims of modern science, knowing that if the two disagree, there is likely an evil cultural agenda at play, through the devil's use of our traditional media, social media and established scientific community. Years of research across many different biblical topics has yielded me two undeniable facts. One, the experts are not any closer to the available evidence than we are, and two, the Bible is never wrong. In addition, if we can use this available evidence to disprove modern science's claims through simple experimentation, does this not give us the right to speculate on other theories?We should all be more apt to lend credence to ancient accounts written by eyewitnesses over creating entire belief systems based on bias interpretations of numbers, readings and measurements, especially when those interpretations go against the scriptures and are in direct opposition to the experiences of our daily lives. Ultimately, we must choose whether theories backed by scripture, logic and experimentation are sufficient enough to trust our senses over culturally inspired artwork we see on screens or in textbooks.

A beloved Paralympic champion shares her story-and powerful principles to help readers find their own path to unconditional self-acceptance.Jessica Long is one of the most inspirational figures of our time. From having both legs amputated as a toddler, she has gone on to become one of the most decorated athletes in history. Yet her true successes-and struggles-are not about winning medals or setting world records in the swimming pool. "Our worth cannot be placed in external things-our looks, job, or approval of others," she says. "No achievement will make us feel worthy unless we can love ourselves without judgment." With Beyond the Surface, Jessica offers an intimate exploration of the hard-won lessons she learned on her extraordinary journey. Here, she opens up about the toughest challenges she faced-not just the trauma of multiple surgeries and prosthetics, but the anger, resentment, and insecurity of trying to find her place and identity in a world that viewed her as less than whole. In each chapter, she reveals the resources and support that allowed her to overcome hardship-and translates them into practices and reflections to help you create a bedrock of self-acceptance that you can rely on even through the most difficult times."I am not a victim to my circumstances, and neither are you," says Jessica. "In sharing my story, including the ugly and uncomfortable parts, I hope to inspire you to love yourself just as you are. It is our differences that make us so incredibly beautiful, and human, and strong."

The mermaid trains hard, maintains a good attitude, and eventually wins the games.
