Pacers-Sixers Big Deal

The trade deadline the last couple of years has been pretty boring, with not many big name players getting dealed. This years deadline looked like it was going to be the same until about 5 minutes AFTER the deadline.

The Indiana Pacers traded small-forward Danny Granger to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Evan Turner and Lavoy Allen. I can honestly say I don’t think anyone saw this trade coming.

Danny Granger missed last season with an injury, and, prior to this past December, had only played 5 games for Indiana in the last 2 years. Nevertheless, the Pacers stayed faithful to their 9th year fan favorite. Granger has only averaged 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist per game over this season in 22 minutes per game. Not too great for the 1 time all-star. People throughout the league have been talking all year on whether he’ll come back to form or not, but I guess we’ll have to figure that out with him in a Philadelphia uniform now.

Evan Turner is the main part of this deal for Indiana. Turner is averaging 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists per game this season for the Sixers in 35 minutes per game. For the Pacers, he could be a great lift off the bench, coming in as a backup for Paul George. Most of the teams in the NBA would kill for a 17 PPG bench player, ESPECIALLY at this time of the season in the Eastern Conference. Lavoy Allen is also going to the Pacers in this deal. He is averaged 5 points, 5 rebounds, & 1 assist per game so far in limited minutes. I think Lavoy Allen could be a solid backup for David West come playoff time, but Evan Turner makes this deal. I believe that Turner could give the Pacers that 1 extra piece that they need to seal 1st place in the Eastern Conference and take down the reigning champion Miami Heat.

Watch out, America, because the Pacers are leading the Eastern Conference, and I don’t think anyone, even the Heat, will stop them.

Creation vs. Evolution Debate

I strongly believe that all of this is something that is argued and debated about when it really shouldn't be.  I mean, the Evolutionists don't really care if we believe in it or not, they are just trying to say that they think it is; it's not like they know any of this for a fact or anything like that.  All of the believers and Creationists are the ones who should be trying to share this creation idea and truth with the Evolutionists!  
The entire reason that God created us and put us on this earth was to further his kingdom.  He put us here so that we could live for him and spread His word to the Gentiles and to the ends of the earth (Acts 13:47).  
We were put her for that reason and that reason only; therefore, we (the believers and Creationists) should be trying to further this truth and idea that the one, true God created everything, not that over some million years period of time that we just so happened to evolve into these homo sapiens sapiens (wise wise human beings) and that the world just so happened to evolve into what it currently is in modern day.  
We should be focusing on living for our almighty heavenly father instead of arguing with these Evolutionists about how the world came to be.  We are wasting our time fooling with this debate!  We know the truth, because we are believers and we know that God's word is the ultimate truth and only complete truth in this world that we live in.  Creation happened, but we shouldn't spend all of our time trying to argue with on-believers whether it did or did not.
