Join Douglas Vandergraph as he explores the fascinating intersection of science and faith in "Bridging Science and Faith: The Case for a Real God." Discover how concepts like the fine-tuning of the universe, the Big Bang, quantum physics, and the complexity of DNA may offer evidence for the existence of a divine creator. This video breaks down complex scientific principles in an easy-to-understand way, showing that science and belief in God might not be so far apart after all. If you’ve ever wondered whether science can support the case for God, this is a discussion you won’t want to miss!

Hey wait a minute. They put my egg-cracking experience on a card. Wizards was monitoring my internal thoughts on that most holy of evenings and decided to represent that with Vraska. I'm so honored 🥹

miscellaneous danyal al ghul things

specifically about the danyal al ghul from my post/prompt here and i wanna get my misc. headcanons/thoughts on him (especially in his early stay with the fentons) out here before i make any other danyal al ghul aus

list under the cut because whoops this got longer than i expected. which really i should have expected

the Fentons are unaffiliated with the League, which was perfect for Danny faking his death.

he struggles with empathy. Empathy was not taught nor encouraged while he was with the League, so it's a skill that's been pretty stunted. At 15 he's better at empathizing with people, but he still struggles with it. He's pretty bad at reassuring/comforting people and usually acts as an emotional rubber duck for Sam and Tucker to vent to if need be. He sometimes offers blunt and sometimes mean opinions, especially if its about another person.

Sam and Tucker do not know he's an ex-assassin, they are however, pretty positive that he used to be part of an eco-fascist cult with a focus on martial arts?? They've been helping him tone down some of his more,,, extreme views on humanity ever since they caught wind of his more extreme ideologies.

He and Sam are still avid environmentalists and feed into each other quite a bit. They spend plenty of time at protests and pestering the school into more eco-friendly options.

Dash is not dead on the sole fact that Danny knew he had to lay low in Amity Park and killing someone was not, in fact, 'laying low'.

he did, however, traumatize him when Dash first tried to bully him. Safe to say, Danny is not bullied at school and neither are Sam and Tucker.

Danny didn't make any friends in his first year at Amity Park. He was surly, grumpy, standoffish, more stubborn than Sam, and pretty self-important about himself. Jazz was trying to teach him against these things, but she is a 12 year old unaffiliated with the League. Danny did not respect her nor listen to a word she said. It wasn't until like, year two that he finally started paying to mind what she was saying and slowly started to improve on himself

Sam approached him first, he rebuffed her quite harshly, and then Danny approached her sometime afterward when he overheard her talking about environmental rights. Sam completely ignored him though when he agreed with her, and Danny had to later learn that he needed to apologize for being rude to her when they first met. He did so eventually, and they started to talk more with Tucker and Sam.

Danny's a bit more reserved than he is in canon, although he steadily learns how to act as a regular teenager when he's out in public. He's a bit more friendlier at least, although when he's around Sam and Tucker he drops the act. He still has a somewhat formal way of talking, it's just become more casual after a lot of ribbing from Sam and Tucker. When he's angry or annoyed he starts talking poshly though.

His humor is relatively the same as in canon, if somehow dryer and more insulting at some points

Those rare moments where he gets really pissed usually ends up with him insulting someone in arabic or any of the other languages he picked up from the league. He is the go-to for Tucker's Spanish homework. (Tucker makes that mistake and learns that Danny is a very strict teacher)

while Danny doesn't view the Fentons as his parents, even five years after living with them, he does respect them to some amount. He respects them enough at least that when Vlad Masters comes sniffing around, he is suitably offended on both Maddie and Jack's behalf. And when he finds out Vlad was the one who tried to kill Jack and tried to tell him to renounce him as his father/parental guardian, danny threw a suitably sharp object at him and insulted him quite horrendously

Vlad still wants him as his kid. In fact perhaps even moreso after this.

Danny trains with Maddie to keep up with his training. It's not quite the same but it prevents him from getting completely rusty

Sam and Tucker know that Danny has a little brother, but nothing else beyond that other than Danny cares about him quite a lot and that he got his facial scar from keeping him safe.

Danny cares about Sam, Tucker, and Jazz quite a bit, but he struggles to convey it. Especially early on when he realized he cared about them and like instinct started being harsher to them and more critical of their actions. This resulted in quite a few arguments with Sam and Tucker and Jazz until he got sat down and told outright that the way he was treating them wasn't okay. It's a process he's still trying to unlearn even at 15. He has become kinder towards them as a result, and has begun looking for what they did right rather than what they did wrong.

He harbors a lot of guilt over how he treated Damian in the League, and its a pretty big conflict he has with himself since he's torn between telling himself it was for the best to make sure Damian survived the League, and feeling like crap over how harsh/critical of Damian he was and realizing that he probably could have come up with a better way of training him despite being a child himself at the time. Danny comes to the realization that more than anything, that he just wants to apologize.

His ghost form, specifically is outfit, is a combination of his hazmat suit and his uniform from the league, and he carries a sword with him. He also doesn't know how to react to Dani, honestly. Although it is fair to say that he figures out she's a clone instantly because of her whole 'I'm your third cousin once removed' thing and he freaks out. She spills the beans pretty quickly after that. And Danny is pretty skittish around her - or the equivalent of skittish. Her being younger than him kinda reminds him of Damian, so he's uncomfortable by her presence but learns to warm up to her.

For your Oscar/John content, how did they start getting along?? I'm writing a fic, but have no idea how to make them begin to tolerate eachother 😔. I'm also just curious regardless (the sillies my beloved)

*OH MY GOD I WROTE ALL THIS OUT ANF FORGOT TO POST IT I JUST SAVED IT TO MY DRAFTS GUFGH anyway sorry

!!! I know a lot of people like to make John still really dislike Oscar, howeevvveerrr I like to think most of John’s jealousy and anger has been replaced with shame and remorse. Like he Knows now what he did was fucked up and that Oscar didn’t do anything wrong and Oscar has every right to hate him. And ofc Oscar found out about John prior to holy ghosts meeting back with jarthur (in an ourthur context), and he claimed to be over it, but as soon as John was actually there and especially once we got a body, Oscar had a hard time actually trusting him.

So the rides have turned a bit, Oscar’s the one with a bit of malice and John’s trying so hard to show he’s changed and that he’s sorry. They argue, not like Arthur and John, but John cant help but say something that cuts a bit too deep whenever Oscar keeps pushing his buttons. It’s rough for a while

And all that to say,,, idk when they actually start getting along. I have this idea where Noel and Arthur need to leave for a week or two, leaving John and Oscar alone. this like forces them to cooperate more, and John gets to actually show Oscar the person he’s become. Oscar lets his guard down, and he’s finally ready to forgive.

this comic I did actually takes place during that window, they’re very gentle with eachother, because they both realized that’s what the other needs.

Sorry if that doesn’t reaaalllyyy answer your question I don’t think about that too hard with those two because <3 comfort crack ship that doesn’t make sense <333 beloved <33

anyway, Occam's Razor doesn't actually say that the *simplest* solution is usually correct. if it did then the explanation for most things would just be "wizards n' warlocks, probably" so, what *does* it say? That the solution requiring the *fewest assumptions* is often correct It's not an appeal against complexity, it's meant to shave away conspiracy theorizing, black-and-white thinking, and circular logic, and appeal towards evidence-first reasoning

I like how people just lie in websites. I also like how they say something and then not elaborate. But by far my fave is when they say something exists but it doesnt

SOO WON MY BABY OMG OMG OMG

Does anyone get the sheer significance of this?? All this time Soo Won has been willing to do anything, to use any card in his hand to achieve his goals. He's been willing to use his own cursed body to do so.

The biggest grievance readers have had since the beginning of the story is that Soo Won could have used Yona and Hak if he kept up the charade. But he never did. Why? Because he never once considered them as tools, as cards to play.

But here? Soo Won is minimizing himself, objectively considering himself as a tool to bring the two back. Instead of using them, he is using himself for them.

If Hak is the shield, then Soo Won IS LITERALLY THE SWORD HSSHDHGSAKL

I sometimes think about the Phaeacian ships (also sometimes called Scherian ships) from The Odyssey (or at least Homer's telling of that story). Mythological ships that were able to be steered by thought alone and needed no pilot (and if I remember also no crew for the most part). You just told it where you wanted to go and it would navigate itself and be the fastest ship in the planet as it does so.

There is very little information about them as they are only mentioned as the plot device to get Odysseus finally home, and were destroyed by Poseidon for helping Odysseus, but I do sometimes wonder how damn good actual IRL Scherian ships were and how fine their sailors were for Homer to attribute semi-sentient and swift status onto their ships. I wish there were more myths about them.

I don't have a copy of The Odyssey anymore so the best I can do is a quote from Wikipedia:

"Tell me also your country, nation, and city, that our ships may shape their purpose accordingly and take you there. For the Phaeacians have no pilots; their vessels have no rudders as those of other nations have, but the ships themselves understand what it is that we are thinking about and want; they know all the cities and countries in the whole world, and can traverse the sea just as well even when it is covered with mist and cloud, so that there is no danger of being wrecked or coming to any harm."

Does anyone want to hear me be so incredibly normal about how we as humans are proof that it is impossible for God (if he exists) to be a perfect being. Or about how it is impossible for God to have created time and live inside it's constraints

like there has got to be at least one doctor out there that says endogenics are fake right??

there's ones that argue DID isn't even a real thing there's some out there that argue against endogenics openly and actively?? right??

Guys, idk about anyone else but I'm starting to suspect the reason why Zahard was angry at Arlene and his motivations as a character might be a bit more layered than simply having his proposal rejected...🤔 Almost like his choices might be based on his ideals and not simply love triangle drama and the greatest war in the history of the Tower, kickstarted by V and Arlene, might have tarnished his proudest accomplishment and goal.

Jews in skyrim 👁️👁️

[thematronofravens]

i really don’t enjoy the “the gods have never answered our prayers” point that was made at the end of the last episode cause it just feels…retcon-y?

unless i’m wildly misremembering early c3, i feel like this was never really a part of the characters backstories until now?

and also i feel like is just colored by real world thoughts on religion and doesn’t seem to match with how the exandrian pantheon works (i know it’s certainly something i’ve said about capital G God when i was leaving the church)
