4-20-25 - World-Changing Discoveries: From Amyloid Proteins to Empty Tombs

The readings for this week for Easter Vigil is Exodus 14:10-31; 15:20-21.  The readings for this week for the Resurrection of the Lord: Acts 10:34-43 or Isaiah 65:17-25, Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24, 1 Corinthians 15:19-26 or Acts 10:34-43, and John 20:1-18 or Luke 24:1-12.  Finally, the readings for Easter Evening are: Isaiah 25:6-9, Psalm 114, 1 Corinthians 5:6b-8, and Luke 24:13-49.  This week we look at how even in science, breakthroughs that change our thoughts on what we think is possible can happen.  Who knew that some weird things happening with hermaphrodite worms can change our opinions on how gene expression can happen much like how Jesus changed our opinions on what God could do and what death really was/is.  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

Remember to answer this week's question:
