All journeys begin with a step, and this step will begin with words. Truth and fact, do they hold the same meaning? The answer is no.

If a man from Alaska, and a man from Florida meet at Times Sq, NY. When they meet the temperature is 50 degrees. The man from Florida utters, " Darn is it cold here". The man from Florida responds, "Are you nuts, it's as warm as toast". Which one is telling the truth?

Of course they both are. Truth is what one perceives and is constructed by their personal environments, education, and up bringing. Truth can change from one continent to another, from one society to another, and from one person to another. The fact in the above scenario is, it is 50 degrees in NY. That fact is universal in it's application. It applies to all things in nature found in Times Sq.

The words belief and theory have always interested me. No two words have caused more debate, hatred, and devotion. The feud between Religion and Science has no time restraint. Each professes to hold the answers to life. Religion is mostly based in belief, and Science is 10% absolute, and 90% theory.

The fact is the words belief and theory mean the exact same thing. Both are thoughts and ideas, and each cannot be proven to be fact by the accepted standards in society.

To overcome the short coming of proof, they both adopted other words to try to explain their positions. Religion rely's on the words, " Divine Intervention". While Science uses the word "mutation" to justify their positions.

In their haste, they forget we do have a set of laws that doesn't need words like belief, or theory. It's laws are universal, and thus fact. These laws are called Nature, and it is these laws the words "Divine Intervention", and "Mutation" try to explain away.

Most live in a truth world, it is concise and easy to navigate. Most have come to accept establishment's view without question. We have become dependent, and rely on others to provide answers and safety in this fast paced world.

We go to fast food establishments where we can have it our own way, sadly, we also select our views of mankind in the same way. Take what we like, leave what we don't. How many claim to be Christians but don't attend mass, nor attend confession?

A truth world is a world of comfort, a world of promised protection. Of course, I don't think the people of New Orleans feel the same way now. Yes, the world of truth holds everything a person could wish for, except it is composed of illusions.

For most, these illusions bring satisfaction to their life. Questions that cannot be explained are easily dismissed by magic, divine intervention, or in the theory of science. It doesn't matter if it is a belief or theory, as long as it fits into their concise world of truth.

This dependency closes our eyes to the most obvious, and sedates the need to question even the most incredible explanations. The Greenhouse Effect being one.

We are told we are causing the earth to warm, and if we do not change, this world will become unfit to live. I wish we had that much power, but unfortunately history and nature does not agree.

Even if one accepts this theory, the end result would be an Ice Age, not a blazing land mass. When temperatures rise, water evaporation also rises. This evaporation is taken into the atmosphere, cooled, and then combines with other pellets of moisture until it becomes heavy and returns to the ground as either snow or rain.

Today we are shown melting glaciers in the North and South Poles as a testament to this theory. What we are not shown is the building snow pack behind them, nor the enlarging glaciers in Washington state, Colorado, and other places around the world. We are directed to the category of a storm, be it a one to a five, but little is said about how large the storms are becoming today in distance and depth.

One can easily research Ice Ages and what has proceeded them. I will keep this discussion to the last one. The Little Ice Age reached it's maximum degree between the mid 1300 until the mid 1700. It came after a period known as the Medieval Climate Optimum in which warmer then normal temperatures prevailed. An occurrence happening today. This event effected Europe the most. It took a climate in England which could grow various vegetables, into a shorter growing period that could only support potatoes, and other cold weather crops.

Because of malnutrition and famine, diseases such as St Anthony's Fire to the black plague developed. Social unrest caused by starvation pitted brother against brother. It also caused people to place the blame about the weather on witchcraft, and thus trials and inquisitions took place. Most ended in a judgement of death to those accused. No one knows the exact number of deaths which occurred during this period, but all agree it was in the millions.

I guess the most obvious question no one seems to ask is, exactly how many factories and cars were in use in the 1300's? Not to mention all the Ice Ages that proceeded it. A question I would love to ask Al Gore and those who gifted him with the Noble Prize.

There are two plausible theories that explain what caused this Little Ice Age. One is the sun, and the other has to do with the Atlantic Ocean current. Neither of which man has control of.

Yes, we hear dire news of every sort. The juicier the better. Movie stars and their drug problems to doomsday type of events. Besides the Greenhouse Effect we have been told we can be demolished by a comet falling from the sky, super volcanoes, smart bombs, and etc. In fact, if anything poses a threat to a large portion of our society it's front page news.

Of course, all these doomsday headlines really hasn't happened as of yet. So you would figure when something is actually occurring that does threaten the extinction of man, it would be plastered all over the news. And if it wasn't, wouldn't you wonder why?

I have a headline for you:
