I've been reading about Paul Davies using the thought experiments about "Maxwell's Demon" sorting atoms in a gas into high- and low-temperature bins, to extrapolate how some biological systems seem to bootstrap their way from lower information content to higher.
Along the way, I've come across various arguable talking points. One is that Maxwell's Demon is a paradox, because the Second Law of Thermodynamics is violated.
More recent scientific explanations say that this is not so, because the demon has to occasionally clear its memory of previous information about the atoms in the gas.
Ignored in both cases is that a demon is a supernatural being, and probably continually maintains part of its existence outside of our physical universe--since everyone assumes that the energy expended by the demon is "free", and that it doesn't require any physical food.
Likewise, one cannot assume that it keeps its brain entirely within our physical universe, and that its memory is as finite as ours.
In the same way, for Schrodinger's Cat to be in the binary state of Dead/Not Dead, you have to ignore most of what physically happens at death, and all of the spiritual transition (whatever that may or may not entail for a cat) as well.
I happened to read about the Gadarene swine in Mark 3 this morning before coming across this piece, which mentions it.
David Clements mentions Michael Cocchini. A quick internet search tells me that they've worked together before, and that a different Michael Cocchini--and a Susan Clements--went fatally missing in the Smoky Mountains. At separate times.
Feels like a rabbit hole.
Much like Jonathan Cahn connects the major demons of ancient Israel to today's United States, Clements says that the spirits of the Nephilim are here and active.

A couple months ago, I put a piece of paper on the fridge--our Scammer Prayer List. We were often getting multiple scam calls per day, and while probably none of them told us their real name, God stills knows who they are and where they live, and He surely has something better for them to do all day than bother people like us.
Two names went onto the list, and these scammers were duly prayed for--they still are--and suddenly the number of scam calls dropped, by a lot. The list still has only two names on it.
The Bible says that "the gates of hell" will not prevail against Christ's Church.
A boomer apologizes, albeit without much clarity.
"It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs," Jesus said; Matthew 15:26.
I recently understood that I am spending my life in rebuilding spiritual and practical foundations that had been foolishly undermined by previous generations.
