Default I KNOW What I Saw!!!!!

Got an e-mail with a cool optical illusion in it, and it made me think. I've heard a few stories that just didn't comply with logic or (IMO) scripture. I believemost of the folks that told them were very sincere, but can we always believe what we see? There are sites and books that will show you can't always believe what you thought you saw.

The IQ "test" can be bypassed, but I'll remove the link. The point was we can't always believe our eyes, but we can trust the Bible.

Lol--you are welcome Mac.

I'll go a bit further with my point: we often get folks debating here who say they are religious, but don't believe parts of the Bible, don't believeparts of itare literal, etc.--because it defies their logic. That's the same thing these puzzles do--they defy logic, they fool our eyes, they fool our minds. Weunderstand thesepuzzles are a trick, so why is it so hard to believe the Bible and understand anything that goes against it is a trick?

Here is another example Chad.

If you have two pencils one in each hand with the erasers pointing in towards each other and you push the erasers together for 30 sec. with the last 10 secs. push with all your might. Now pull the pencils apart. It will appear as if the erasers are magnetic, which we know can't happen because they are not metal.
When in fact what really happened was that your muscles have a certain amount of memory, when held for a while with pressure in the same spot.
You could also stand in a door way with your palms against the frame and push with your hands for 30 sec. with all your might for the last ten, step forward while putting your arms down, your arms will float up.
Moral of the story, Satan is a skillfully trained magician, his manual is also the bible/ the word of God.

And a very good point. I will add that Satan is also crafty and often takes God's word out of context.
