Aquinas describes five proofs of the existence of God.> _______________________ 1. First engine, some things are in motion, anything moved is moved by another, and there can be an infinite series of movers. So there must be a first motor (a motor that is not itself moved by another). It is God.>______________________ 2. First case, some things are caused, anything caused is caused by another, and there can be an infinite series of causes. So there must be a first cause (a cause which is not itself caused by another). It is God.>_____________________ 3. Necessary being, every current quota at a given time can not exist. So if everything possible, then at some point has nothing - and therefore there would be nothing now - which is patently false. So all is not su ... bordonnée. It is a necessary being. It is God.> 4. Being larger, some things are more important than others. All that is great for any level of greatness achieved which is the largest. It is therefore a greater being, which is the source of all greatness. It is God.>______________________ 5. Intelligent designer, Many things in the world who do not have intelligence comes to an end. Anything that acts for an end must be made by an intelligent being. If the world must have an intelligent designer. It is God. Nature leads us to God. Look oceans, beaches, mountains, consider a single rose or a hummingbird or witnessed the birth of a child and the genius of a creator are révélé.Dieu is also revealed in the goodness of humanity.>_____________________ Each act of kindness, compassion every effort to reduce pain or increase the joy kindness have the original signature of God lui.Vérité, beauty and goodness bring us to God. Fingerprints of God are partout.Il are a thousand ways to demonstrate the existence of God.>________________________ But God wants a very personal relationship with you. Ask God to reveal Himself to you. Ask God to show you His will. Cry out like the blind, "Lord, open my eyes so I can see! "And the God of the universe will be, help you discover your true self and give you a vision of the world that will turn your world upside down most wonderful ways> ..... tks G <jfq> mam ! |

| Jan-20-13 | | playground player: <Jessicafischerqueen> My hometown library has my books. They even have the manuscripts. But I wouldn't know about any other libraries--probably not. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: <Lee> trust me it's worth looking into further. Libraries will take books, you could be like "PGP Appleseed" branching out to libraries across the country. Make a list of good libraries out of state and send them first a letter and then the book after they agree to stock it. |

 | | Phony Benoni: <jfq> Just wanted you to know I'm redoing one of the USSR Championships: Game Collection: 0USSR Championship 1939 I found a file of Botvinnik's games with many of them dated, including those from this tournament. Unfortunately, there still seem to be a large number of games missing. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Phony Benoni> thanks for the heads up on still more pain staking work. Coincidentally, I was just reading about the <1939 USSR Championship> in relation to the bio I'm re-writing for <Vladimir Petrov>. A stunning second place finish for <Kotov>, who would then proceed to tank- badly- in the <1940 USSR Championship>. Andrew Soltis is of the opinion that <Kotov> had so many different things on the go at the same time that he could only concentrate intermittently on winning chess games. As you know, he was a voluminous writer, and he later had many time consuming duties for the Soviet Chess Section. He was often enlisted as a "handler" to make sure the players behaved in proper Soviet manner at various tournaments. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Friends!
Please, no religious or political topics or discussion in here, and no sarcastic statements about someone in here you may not like. This forum is for chess and for messing around with my friends, in a light hearted manner. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <krmr> I love you, but please don't post any more articles in here that could even potentially serve as a springboard for a religious or political discussion, ok? Tks- krmr
Tks- G |

You just ruined my plans to declare myself God King of the 3rd Dimension and subsequently use my power to declare war against the Amish, which is a good thing, because they are like so technologically advanced. ;) |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <BiteWit> long time no see! I see you have adopted a <Chairman> avatar. Is this a religious conversion, an attempt to coopt Chairman from the Pilipino fans, or an ironic comment? (Long may Chairman prosper) |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Also, don't call me "luv."
Only <Travis Bickle>, <Mark Finan>, and <Harry Lime> are allowed to call me "luv." I paid for this forum and if I choose to run it like the North Korean government, I'll do so. I doubt I'll go the "Full Monty," however, a la <AJ Foyt>, and delete everything so that all that remains is 300 pages of only my insipid avatar glaring at everyone. |

I've been watching episodes of "Amish Mafia". Those are some bad dudes. You don't want to @#$% with them. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <My Dear Bishop> yes, ironically the only thing the Communists didn't break was world chess. Despite the collusion at Curacao Candidates (1962), overseen by the Dragon Queen <Rona Petrosian>, the Commies forced everyone else to follow them to a new level of chess excellence. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Tim> HOU is great, but she's getting a bit of a reputation of a "poor woman's Judit Polgar." Remember when Judit got invited to all those Premiere men's events? She actually used to win games at them.
On the other hand, HOU will no doubt become stronger by getting pummeled by <Hikaru Nagasaki> and other superstars. |

| Jan-22-13 | | waustad: The Amish/Mennonites I've been around are interesting. I almost understand when they talk but between my poor (somewhat Austrian) German and their archaic Swiss German I understand words but not conversations. I took a bus to Columbus with a group of them and chatted up the only one who would talk to "English". There was one person who drove a car with many people in it to the bus stop, though I am aware that there are other folks who would have none of this in such communities. There is actually a collection of crime novels by (if I recall correctly) Linda Castillo, that have an expelled Amish woman as the police chief in a fictional town outside of Coshocton, Ohio. I've read a lot worse in the genre. |

| Jan-23-13 | | twinlark: Great contribution to Petrovs' memory to tell his story in the bio. Well done. |
|
| Jan-23-13 | | playground player: <Jessicafischerqueen> I salute you as a chess historian, and all of our <Esteemed Colleagues> who are doing Petrov research with you. Meanwhile, my article on Locke, entitled "Is It OK for Christians to Like Locke?", is scheduled to appear in the next issue of Chalcedon's print magazine, <Faith For All Of Life>. I think it'll wind up getting bumped to a later issue, but that's another story. As for the title--well, what the heck: I like Locke, and I think my readers should, too. But I am writing for a staunchly Calvinist audience, so I had some hard arguing to do. "Staunchly Calvinist," by the way, does not mean "rigidly unwilling to listen to anyone else's point of view." But you know how quarrelsome Christians can be. PS--I just hate donating my books! It means I'm not getting paid for them. What I really need is for the publisher to hook up with a distributor and get the books into the stores. Which is precisely what they won't do. I have not yet devised a way to force them or trick them into doing it. |

| Jan-23-13 | | crawfb5: Just read the Petrovs bio. Outstanding.
As you were. |

 | | perfidious: <theagenbiteofinwit....You just ruined my plans to declare myself God King of the 3rd Dimension and subsequently use my power to declare war against the Amish, which is a good thing, because they are like so technologically advanced.> So long as you leave Amish Girl alone.
The only member of the Amish to be in the 2700 club deserves respect, after all. |

| | perfidious: <crawfb5> Second your praise of <jess>' work on Petrovs. |
