There is nothing new under the sun

What has been will be again,
    what has been done will be done again;
    there is nothing new under the sun.
                                           Ecclesiastes 1:9

Some people do not believe in the existence a Creator because to believe that would be to accept the existence of a supernatural which our minds cannot comprehend. And yet, when we look at science, we see inventors looking time and time again to our natural surroundings for instructions and ideas on how to build more efficient machines and robots. Our intelligence tells us that the best designs are already out there in nature. It is ironic that we deny the existence of a Creator because we are too proud to admit that there may be supernatural forces out there which we have not yet discovered and do not fully understand. And yet we are ready to admit that our most intelligent human minds are not able to truly create something new and must look out to things that have happened, in an atheist's view, by pure chance.

Science is the study of our surroundings. It is our observation of what already is. It is our exploration of the environment that a creator God has prepared for us.


For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power
and divine nature, have been clearly perceived,
ever since the creation of the world, in the things that
have been made. So they are without excuse. (ESV)

Romans 1:20

Brugada Syndrome

I don't think I will ever be a plastic surgeon. Not because I like plastics any less but because I cannot let cardiology go. Today I started studying cardiology cases for my exams and came across a segment on Brugada syndrome and the ECG patterns that are typical to this condition. I was surprised to see that this condition was discovered and described as recently as 1992 by a family of Spanish Catalan doctors (the Brugada doctors). I love finding 'new' cardiology information because the problem with being so interested in something is that I sometimes run out of novel 'findings' to keep me interested in the field. Lately I have been reading about microvascular dysfunction (related to womens cardiac conditions) and today Brugada ECGs. I think I could do this forever.

Connecting the dots

I was reading an article in Forbes today on the world's most influential women and was somewhat struck by the realisation that I float in some of these circles, loosely but in general only by one degree of separation. I have never understood why I have been allowed to meet these people and to get to know them on a personal level. I don't know if anything is meant to come of it, or if perhaps there are just so many of them that all of us know someone or other. But sometimes I can't help but wonder, what the hell. How is it that little old me knows some of the most powerful and some of the richest in the world? I am a nobody. I feel like a nobody. And yet somehow, I've made it to the edges of all this. What??

Life Zzzzzzzzzzzz

I always feel like life needs to be packed with amazing and exciting things... so it never feels right when my weekends are empty. I get bored, and boredom doesn't sit well with me! It will be A.W.E.S.O.M.E. when I am back in my own apartment with pretty furniture and the amazing Apple iMac that I will finally buy and UNLIMITEDDDDD internet. It will certainly be really really awesome.
