It is nice to see someone who clearly understands the difference between faith and science.

That's one way faith differs from science--faith has absolute certainty.

Proof that I have read too many of these threads?

It is the dreadful post laundry washing and drying sock mystery. Again.
Socks are missing.
Again.
I am distressingly and continually unable to explain these disappearing socks by
any scientific, mathematical or empirical observation.
I count, calculate and measure, sort by color and size,
and am confounded at the consistant result.
The socks are simply, inexplicably
gone.

Some background

I always buy the socks in pairs, this is normal, as they are sold in this formation.
I always wear two of them, normal,as I have two feet.
(Though I was almost run over by an automobile once where I could very well have lost a foot.)
(and sometimes, in this place it becomes colder, necessitating more than one pair, but
rest assured, I account for this!)

The sox routinely go together into the laundry.
Ahah, you say there is the source of the error!

Alerted to this possibility, I devised a foolproof method of assuring that all of the socks enter the closed laundry system, they are placed meticulously each and every time
into a container of The Rubbermaid, with a sealed lid, that assures no escape.
I document the number and color in my everpresent notebook. (Notes are available in pdf format upon request)

What if the socks leave on thier own?
It is true that some which have remained on my feet have developed an ability to stand on thier own.
This fact led me to wonder that they may have evolved from this to actual movement.

I cannot simply assume any power of movement inherent on thier part, there is no
apparent mechanism for movement. Where is the brain? The legs?

Nevertheless, I spent many hours observing a pile of socks in front of me, many hours taking notes. Never a single movement! I filmed them overnight, as they could well be nocturnal, filmed them with my own unaltered Handy cam,then patiently watched the video, used stop motion, slow motion, and zoom.
No Movement! None! (WMV of this exciting phase available upon request).

There was the one time, I include here for accuracy,when the pile exploded into movement in all directions!
But I determined this should not count as proper evidence, as the cause was merely the young kitten of my visiting sister.

Ahah! you say, it is the kitten who removes the socks!
No, I am afraid, this cannot be, as the little one left the home with my departing sister.
And, I have no other pets, nor have seen evidence of other lifeforms who might be removing and hoarding my socks.

I did of course test this possiblity by collecting some healthy ants, and having placed the socks upon them, observed, filmed with handi cam, and took notes. The ants did not move the socks at all!

So today, you, dear reader, can only imagine my dismay at finding,
at sock sorting time,
the odd one here and there
simply gone. Missing.

How can it be?
Each time it seems,some are missing. I count, and count again.

Committed, I have been to Science, so you can imagine my distress. I count and count again...and each time some are missing. A black one here, a gray one there.

Having no explanation, I tore apart the washer and dryer to seek a hiding place.

Alas there is none.
Having no earthly answer to explain this confounding reality
I can only conclude that I cannot conclude where they went,
yet they are gone.
In despair, I cried out Oh God Be Darned, why is this happening!
Why me!

Then,there in a flash of inspiration, the answer!
Accidently from my own lips,
(from a fit of a bit of minor obscenity,for which I apologize...this is a determinedly factual account)

It must be A supernatural, unmeasurable, invisible sock removing intelligence!

From this, it all makes so much sense, and as you might well imagine I am relieved.

Or was for a moment.
A supernatural invisible force with an
unexplained affinity for my socks!

How marvelous, my discovery!

Then, I realised and was made miserable by the thought that, my sox go with this
force,to the heavens or where I can only wonder?

Why not me?

Oh how I wish I never pursued this!
Now it has become my fate to merely sit and wait, dressed up as a large sock.

I can only hope it is fooled by my disguise.

Yes, Creationism has unanswered questions, but that's how faith works...

Faith actually provides much more reliable answers than science. The trick is in what one places their faith and belief. If one places faith in that which isn't as faithful, then one is far more likely to encounter frustration from unreliable consequence.

For those with unaswered questions in Creationism, simply place your faith in Him for the appropriate answer and He is faithful and at liberty to provide a reliable, graceful solution.
