Chemical Faith 9/15/22

There’s a distinct difference between introducing people to the philosophy of religion, as I had taken in college, raising questions about the existence and nature of a God and having a teacher tell you flat out that you’re wrong if you don’t believe in creationism.

A Service Life 8/30/22

pretty much my whole life has been dedicated to the service of others. I’ve tried creating content of one form or another to help people with topics in science and math. I truly love the subjects and have made a serious study of them, and I know that they’re intimidating to many people.
