The Science of God will be one man's attempt to explain his reasons for believing that there is one God, the creator of the universe, and why Christianity is His one true faith. We are living in times when Christianity is openly mocked and Christians the source of public ridicule, even violence. We are at war. We are at war for the souls of men and women, children, gay and straight, Muslim and Buddhist. Jesus showed no favoritism to whom He would love. Neither shall I. I am not a theologian or church leader. Only an engineer. A man who has loved science since his first view through a telescope at the beauty of the heavens. It wouldn't be until my 30th year that I found the Creator of those heavens and asked His forgiveness. I still ask His forgiveness. It is the best we can do. I hope that you'll join me on this exploration. Keep an open mind, as I know readers and writers alike do better than most. Thanks for reading.

Jason, the rightful heir to the throne of Iolkos, must avenge the deposition of his father and the murder of his siblings. With no intention of relinquishing the crown, however, vile King Pelias demands that Jason acquire the famed Golden Fleece to prove himself worthy of the crown. It is a feat many have tried, but none have succeeded. Fewer still have even lived to tell their tale. Sailing with the Argonauts, a dream team of heroes, Jason navigates fierce adversaries, insurmountable obstacles, and turbulent waters to reach Colchis, half a world away. All Jason wants is the Golden Fleece, but its owner, King Aeetes has different ideas. In order for the king to discharge the Fleece, Jason must complete three arduous, if deadly, labors. Choosing to accept aid from a beautiful and mysterious but unlikely source could either be Jason's salvation or his undoing. But choose wisely, he must. For if he fails but one of lethal tasks... death may be a welcome vacation from his troubles. *** Jason's Quest is a sexy, mysterious retelling of Greek myth, Jason and Medea/ Jason and The Argonauts/ Jason and The Quest for the Golden Fleece.

Lyra knew that one day she would be set into an arranged marriage like a chess piece. She had been preparing for it her whole life, and she was almost alright with her fate. But she never thought that her father would choose the man that he did. That decision changed everything. The King of Whales is ruthless, more than twice her age and surrounded by tainted gold and loads of unsavory rumors. There have been many wives of his before Lyra, with no explanations to the untimely deaths of the previous five. With each dead Queen came more money from their kingdoms, straight into the King's portly lap. Disguised as a young man, Lyra runs from her duty as the only Princess of Nordic. She cuts her hair, takes her steed and disappears into the night with her father's men hot on her heels. Enter Kaladin's team. Occupation: Mercenaries. Lyra uses skills taught to her by a close, childhood friend and plays herself into the trust of the dangerous strangers until they accept her, or rather, "Navani", into their group. What will happen to her once they see through her web of lies and tricks? Will Lyra give herself up as Princess when she is reunited with her long-lost friend, or will she carry on as a boy with the mercenaries? Follow Lyra to see what she will do when she comes to realize that things have gotten far too big for her to handle on her own. There are assassin's out for her head, king's thirsting for her blood, and an underground network of people who live for her ruin. But there is also an unlikely Prince to defend her, who has some tricks of his own to rely on. The Princess soon sees that she is not nearly as alone as she may have once thought. What will Lyra do when she comes to terms with her destiny? Will she face it this time with her new friends, or will she chose to run away again? Cover made by @-rebellixus-

(Book #1 in 'The Fin Series') [COMPLETED] Taylor Aurelia, daughter of Queen Aurelia of one of the Seven Kingdoms of the Seven Seas, is a Mer Princess. Well, only half, that is. Her mother, the Queen, had fallen in Love with a Human and conceived Taylor in the process. Now, Taylor has finally pleaded to her over-protective mother of spending more time with her Human father on Land for a year. When the Queen finally caves in and allows her to leave the safety of the Sea, they don't realize just how safe Taylor has become when she begins to walk on Land amongst the other Humans. For a deep dark Evil resides within the Sea, planning to claim the Princess as his own and take over the Sea Realm with her at his side, willingly or not. So as Taylor continues to live her otherwise normal half-Human half-Mer life while currently living on Land with her father and her Sea Shifter friend, Kelpi, she soon realizes that the new friends she makes and the boy she is falling for may not be enough to save her from the clutches of the dark Evil beneath the Ocean Waves. And that she may be falling for the wrong guy after all. So who has truly captured Princess Taylor's heart while also risking their life to save her own? And did I mention that as so much a drop of water touches her, she pops a tail instantly? Now so much for living an easy life on Land!
