Yoela O. quoted Understanding the Times by David A. Noebel (Understanding the Times, #2)
In the end, here is the Secularist answer to the question of how life arose: it somehow appeared and then became more complex through a mindless process of mutation and natural selection.
— Understanding the Times by David A. Noebel, Jeff Myers (Understanding the Times, #2)
Men such as Johann Kepler, Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, David Brewster, John Dalton, Michael Faraday, Blaise Pascal, Clerk Maxwell, Louis Pasteur, William Thompson (Lord Kelvin), and a host of others of comparable stature were men who firmly believed in special creation and the personal omnipotent God of creation, as well as believing in the Bible as the inspired Word of God and in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Their great contributions in science were made in implicit confidence that they were merely "thinking God's thoughts after Him," and they were doing His will and glorifying His name in so doing.
— The Biblical Basis for Modern Science by Henry M. Morris (Page 21 - 22)

Yoela O. commented on Philosophy of Science by Samir Okasha (Very Short Introductions)
I'm not liking this book so far. Philosophy is just so... uselessly thought-provoking to me. I understand why the questions are asked, but personally, I don't care too much about science as a philosophy discussion. I prefer ethical and religious philosophy more.

Yoela O. reviewed Ruby Fever by Ilona Andrews
Review of 'Ruby Fever' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
I'm happy for Catalina and Alessandro, but I'll miss them. This book had a lot of twists and turns I almost couldn't keep up, it's awesome! No spoilers here, all I'll say is that all the entire family is comung together nicely and I like how not everyone gets along but they all tolerate each other. I really enjoy all the different dynamics that each member brings, especially the blood-related ones.
On a side note, is the next book going to be about Arabella??? I feel like she's the one I know the least about and I'd be overjoyed to finally get a longer, more detailed look at her perspective. Oh and is she going to get together with the prince??? That sounds like fun lol

Yoela O. reviewed Killing Sarai by J. A. Redmerski
Review of 'Killing Sarai' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
I have read this book before, and I was very happy to find it again. Killing Sarai is the first book I've ever read that featured an assassin as a main character. Perhaps that is why it holds a special place for me.
I remember reading it the first time I loved it and would've given it five stars instantly, but rereading it has allowed me to notice a few little flaws. Overall, this series is still one of my favorites. I like how the writer showed a bit of what happens emotionally to victims of sex trafficking and how difficult it can be to adjust to a "normal" life and move on. I didn't find it too unrealistic and I can understand the confusing roller coaster of Sarai's emotions. I won't spoil the rest of the series too much, but I will say that <spoiler>there will be more portraits …
