What is Pascal's demon?
You may have confused Laplace and Pascal - both French mathematicians and philosophers, although Pascal came about a century earlier. Laplace's Demon is a thought experiment concerning order and chaos in the universe. When I burn a log, I am converting the chemical energy of the log into thermal energy in the smoke. This is a relatively ordered model, because I can predict the change in energy. However, the smoke will never be burnt or reform into a log, and I will have a harder time predicting where the energy will go. Eventually, all of the forms of fuel in the universe, from fossil fuels to the nuclear cores of stars to the sugar burning up inside of you and me will be burnt up, and we won't know how energy will move. This is a chaotic model. Pierre-Simon Laplace proposed the following question: What if there was a demon (or angel or god or scientist or pastry chef, it doesn't really matter) who knew the position of every atom in the universe? If he knew where the carbon atom was in a log that was burning, he'd be able to predict that it would form carbon dioxide in the smoke, because it's an ordered model. If he knew where an oxygen atom was getting closer and closer to two hydrogen atoms, he'd be able to predict that it was about to form water. Conversely, if he knew the speed a water molecule was traveling, he'd be able to use kinematics (study of motion) to figure out how the atoms were moving before they bonded. He would know where everything was, where everything was going to be, and where everything had been, right? But because the universe is chaotic and getting more and more chaotic all of the time, thanks to entropy - which is a whole other issue, but in this case it can be simplified and thought of as the tendency for fuel to burn up - Laplace's Demon doesn't always know. He might be able to make a reasonable guess, sure, he wouldn't be able to tell you how smoke moves. The smoke molecules have kinetic energy, and so they have to be moving, but the universe doesn't care which way, and so Laplace's Demon can't help. That said, our understanding of physics is changing all the time, and many scholars have come forward with a possible pattern in the way smoke moves and so forth. Laplace's Demon will remain relevant as we explore Quantum Mechanics and the movements of the very small and very fast pieces of the universe.
How can you apply the parable of the mustard seed in your life?
There were two different illustrations regarding the mustard seed that Jesus used.In one, he likened the "Kingdom of the heavens" to a mustard grain, in the way that it starts off very small, but grows to be a large tree in which you can take refuge , just like birds take refuge in a tree. (Matt. 13:31,32 this illustration is also recorded by Mark and Luke) This illustration has come true because the Christian congregation started off small but is now worldwide. We can apply this in our lives by taking the same action the birds do when they seek refuge in a tree. This would imply taking a course of action to align yourself with the "Kingdom of the Heavens".The second illustration where he used the mustard seed is found later in Matt.17:19,20 (Luke also records this illustration). His disciples were unable to expel a demon and they asked him why they were not able to. Jesus then relates that if they had the faith the size of a mustard seed they would be able to move mountains. It was a lack of faith that caused the disciples to fail at expelling the demon. We can apply this in our lives by realizing the power of faith. In Hebrews chapter 11, the apostle Paul describes many powerful things done by worshipers of God through faith. We can apply it in our day to strengthen our belief and hope in the things "unseen". This is done by a study of God's word, prayer, relying on God when we need help, and by having confidence and hope in the promises he has set for us throughout the bible.

Did God ever speak directly to a woman?
If you consider God as a SPIRIT, spirit is formless, invisible and has no human-like functions. If you considered God as an Earth-living being, then this God has all the functions of a human or animal being. If you hear God is to talking to you, you may be in psychological trouble. On the other hand if you talk to God is considered to be a normal behaviour and even admirable. Go Figure!!! Dr. Vajay. 2. If God so desires he can speak to man, but because we could not withstand His glory we would have to be changed physically so that we could converse with Him. Usually God will speak through his prophets or by that still small voice which is the Holy Spirit. If God spoke to us directly then there would be no need for us to have faith that He exists.
