Statistics

July 12 2006
So, in case you didn't know...I love stats.  My new health magazine had a whole page devoted to interesting stats and I thought I would share some of them with you...I promise you will find them interesting, so keep reading...

52 percent of Americans can name at least 2 members of the cartoon Simpsons family
28 percent of Americans can name at least 2 freedoms granted in the First Amendment
21 percent of Americans believe that the right to own a pet is one of them

800 millions of gallons of gas are used each year for lawn mowers
It takes 11 new cars to create the same amount of pollution that one lawn mower makes in an hour
There were 11 millions of gallons of crude oil spilled by the Exxon Valdex in the largest oil spill in U.S. history
There are 17 millions of gallons of fuel spilled each year while filling lawn mowers, tractors, and the like

A rewiew of 22,131 public swimming pools found 97 percent had health-regulation violations

Interesting, huh?  Anyone want to go to Sports Com?

I read your remark the day you posted it, but I've been mulling it over, lol. Long mull-period, I know. :-) Yeah, I really have a hard time with predestination. It isn't something that I'm terribly fond of, but I can't counter it using scripture, and there is so much scripture, even in context, that screams it. I dont know. I do understand your points, and one part of me is like "yeah, I like that better." The other part of me is like "but what about what the Word of God says?" I tend more towards the Doctrine of Election scripturally, and if I had to go one way or the other with a gun to my head, my post makes it obvious that I'd support it. But it is one of those crazy things.

No, I understand that your not trying to persuade or whatever, in fact, I would certainly welcome whatever information you have in either direction. So yeah, whenever the chance presents itself to get that Bible and send me some references, that would be incredible. I too just am interested in seeing what Scripture says all around, and am definitely up for hearing the viewpoint of someone else. :-) Have a great day!
