Extrapolation is used by scientists to predict an outcome of an experiment or when they get to conditions they can't test. For example, gas changes volume when the temperature changes, as long as the pressure is constant. In this example, say they ran a test on a random gas. This is by no means scientific and I am totally making up these figures. It's just an example. So say, at 0 degrees this gas occupies 1.5 liters. At -50 degrees it occupies 1.0 liters. At -100 degrees it occupies .5 liter and after that, they haven't gathered information. But, based on previous results, you can guess that -150 is going to be a little more than 0 liters (since you make it nothing.) See how that works? Using this method, scientists can hypothesize on many things that they can't recreate, based on previous data. Read my Good Friday post, here to understand what I'm going to be saying next. Once upon a time, the king of the world came down and was supposedly defeated. The world was in darkness and the people despaired. The veil in the tabernacle that seperated the holy place of God from the place where people were, but no one saw the sheer significance of that. All through the Sabbath, Christians everywhere, huddled in their houses, fearful that the same thing would happen to them, that they might be brutally murdered as well. Their hope was destroyed and they'd forgotten to look at the facts that had presented themselves through the past years. All the miracles he'd performed. How he'd been faithful throughout their whole time knowing him. They forgot their Messiah's promise, that he'd come back. Their days were filled with darkness, doubt and despair. (Did you notice the alliteration? I didn't even plan that.) And on Sunday morning, Jesus rose, victorious over Lucifer and over the grave, holding the keys to death, and they saw that their fear had been misplaced and Jesus had been faithful after all. Don't sit in doubt and darkness, believing God has forsaken you and smashed your hopes. If has been faithful over years, centuries, millenia, why won't he be faithful in your lives? He's made promises that he'll never leave or forsake you. If you're not hearing anything while you're trying to hear God, you're definitely not going to hear anything if you pull away. Look back over His promises. He's said his promises and you can see in the Bible, in your life, in other's lives, he's been faithful to fulfill what he's said. Extrapolate.

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
