How My Six Year Old Boy Debunked Intelligent Design I was attempting to explain to my son, Brance, who just turned six two weeks ago, why it was better to refrain from saying “Oh God!” especially around his grandparents. He didn’t understand why it was such a big deal to them and asked if “God” was a bad word. This caught me off guard a bit. I had been spending so much time teaching him about evolution by natural selection that I forgot to tell him the lie he would be confronted with someday. I decided that it was time that he heard the creation story that I grew up with. I read on, “So, he put all the water in one place and all the dry land in another.” “Why do we have to save water then? After I finished reading about the third day he was beginning to catch on. “Well that’s what some people believe,” I stated, “but I don’t think so.” “He made South America!” When I told him about the creation of the sun on the fourth day he became serious again. “Then he made the stars to add a bit of sparkle to the night,” I read. “Not even us?”

Green Lake - An Austrian Lake That Is Used for Hiking A rare natural phenomenon turns one of Austria’s most beautiful hiking trails into a 10 meter-deep lake, for half the year. Located at the foot of the Hochschwab Mountains, in Tragoess, Styria, Green Lake is one of the most bizarre natural phenomena in the world. During the cold winter months, this place is almost completely dry, and used as a country park where hikers love to come and spend some time away from urban chaos. But as soon as temperatures rise, the snow and ice covering the mountaintops begin to melt, and the water pours down, filling the basin below with crystal-clear water. Water levels go from one-two meters at most, to over 10 meters, in the early summer. The waters of Green Lake are highest in June, when this extraordinary place is invaded by divers, curious to see what a mountain park looks like underwater. Take a look at the amazing images of the Green Lake, shot during the summer season: via Daily Mail Reddit Stumble
