Do you ever sense creation’s restlessness? Do you hear groaning in the cold night wind? Do you feel the forests’ loneliness, the oceans’ agitation? Do you hear longing in the cries of the whales? Do you see blood and pain in the eyes of wild animals, or the mixture of pleasure and pain in the eyes of your pets? Despite vestiges of beauty and joy, something on this earth is terribly wrong... The creation hopes for, even anticipates, resurrection.

Run some cold water over the tofu to cool it off for easier handling.

pressing the tofu until it has a firm, ground-beef-like texture; then set
it aside.

Add the pressed tofu and saute, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes

This freezes well and can be used in any recipe calling for ground beef.

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus: the human face of God”

The principle "that every effect must have a cause is a self-evident truth, not only for those who have been trained in logic, but for thinking people everywhere." Cause and effect, "which is universally accepted and followed in every field of science, relates every phenomenon as an effect to a cause. No effect is ever quantitatively ';great' nor qualitatively ';superior' to its cause. An effect can be lower than its cause but never higher." In stark contrast, the competing theory of evolution attempts to make effects such as organized complexity, life, and personality greater than their causes-disorder, nonlife, and impersonal forces. As has been well said, "design requires a designer, and that is precisely what is lacking in non-theistic [materialistic] evolution."
