PASTORAL LETTER & CHURCH MEETINGS Weighing the Evidence In their exploration of the Universe, many in the scientific community refuse to consider that an omnipotent God might be the Cause for the wonderful effects they observe. Good science considers every hypothesis, and devises experiments to test every theory that is proposed. These opening sentences in this article are intended to provoke thought. Are they true? Accepting that they are true, the conclusion must be that much scientific thought is heavily biased by the religious beliefs of the scientists involved. But just as sound detective work requires an open mind, and all the evidence must be carefully considered before charges are brought, so the evidence presented to our minds by the natural world needs to be honestly considered. Paul the Apostle, writing to the Christians in Rome, made this statement concerning God: “For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made” (Romans 1.20 ESV). Thus, in a few words, Paul summed up the basis of Biblical argument. An eternal, omnipotent God is the Creator of all things, and the evidence of that fact
surrounds us, revealing something of the character of that God. The order of the solar system, the wider Universe beyond and the perfect order of microscopic organisms, demand an explanation for their evident design. An open, inquiring mind looks at the evidence in one way, and the mind that is closed to any acknowledgment of God looks at the same evidence in another way. Consequently two entirely different conclusions are reached. The first acknowledges God as the Designer and Creator of all things, the second says that everything we see must have come about by accident. Yet one of the essential pillars of scientific inquiry, the 2nd law of thermodynamics, says that whilst order will almost inevitably decay into disorder, no ordered system of things ever accidentally resulted from chaos. Would professional, clever people truly stand scientific principles on their head in such a way? If so, then why? With the acknowledgement that there is a God who is the Creator of all things, comes an inescapable conclusion: I am accountable to Him! The God of creation has not only made the heavens and the earth but, ultimately, He made me. Our sinful nature does not like to dwell on such thoughts, so the answer is to

reject God and any notion of Him. Let those who believe in God become the object of mockery, even pity, and let us deify man instead. But, all the time, there is an insistent, quiet voice within us, challenging our God-rejecting desires. That voice is called conscience and it may be accusing you now, even as you read this article. You would do well to hearken to that voice, for it is God-given. The importance of the issues discussed here does not lie in whether or not you believe in creation or the theory of evolution. The importance lies in the eternal outcome of those contrary beliefs. If there is no God, then we are nothing different from animals that are born and die. We answer for our behaviour only to society. We must attribute the beauty and order of the natural world, and the unique moral awareness of humankind, to the chaos of a big bang. Or, the evidence around us declares the existence, character and interest of an eternal God. If you will see Him in Creation, you will also see Him in the Cross – “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3.16).

A few weeks back I was invited by members of the local ACE (Advisory Committee of Enable) Group, who champion issues that affect adults with learning disabilities. The groups are a chance for people who have learning disabilities to have their say about what matters to them. It was a great experience meeting with them and hearing their concerns on a range of issues, including how politicians can better communicate what they do to adults with learning disabilities. It is also very inspiring to see the work that Enable does to empower the people they support and, as the name suggests, enable them to make decisions and ask the questions about things that most people take for granted.

Since my last column, I am delighted to have been selected as the SNP candidate for Moray for Mayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Scottish Election. It has been an incredible privilege to have served the people of Moray, and to represent this incredibly special constituency at Holyrood, since I was first elected in 2006. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very grateful to local SNP members for putting their trust in me and as always I will work incredibly hard for every single vote. The months leading up to an election are incredibly demanding and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying my best to get fit before we get into full campaign mode. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been taking the opportunity to get out on my bike, enjoying the fantastic scenery we have here, as well as taking part in the Pedal for Scotland, 50 mile bike ride from Elgin to Glasgow.

Siobhan Wilson Lewis Barlow
THE
Two of the events being held this month at Elgin's The Drouthy Cobbler will be of particular local interest - Lewis Barlow (Close-Up Magician, 10th October, 3pm) and Siobhan Wilson (16th October, 7.30pm) both spent much of their formative years at Elgin Academy and have gone on to carve out successful international performing careers. Lewis’s multi-award winning and astonishing close-up magic has earned him an international reputation amongst magicians. Lewis recalls that his fascination with close-up magic began by watching a Bunco Booth operator when he was just five years old. His passion for the art led him to develop his own magical effects and techniques, gaining him the confidence of some of the world’s greatest magicians. Learning and developing magic at an accelerated pace led to Lewis becoming the youngest President of the Edinburgh Magic Circle. The winner of several national magic awards and a regular performer at exclusive private functions across Europe, Lewis’s recent shows at the Edinburgh Fringe were also sell-out successes. Renowned for the purity of his magical effects, he regularly provides his expertise to stage and screen productions at the highest level. After studying and performing magic for over twenty years, Lewis’s appearance at The Drouthy Cobbler is not to be missed. It includes his latest and most astonishing magical effects, from psychological manipulation to extraordinary card control. You will not have seen such phenomenal magic at such close-range before. Whether or not you believe in real magic, this is likely to be as close as you can get... “A masterclass for other magicians. It’s the difference between knowing how to read music and hearing a virtuoso wring all the emotion out of Beethoven” The List
“A scintillating display. Barlow provides a great mixture of simplicity and style in his magic. He had the crowd in the palm of his hands.” Edinburgh Evening News
Siobhan Wilson Acclaimed singer- songwriter Siobhan Wilson will be performing songs from her new 7 track EP 'Say it's True'. Released at the end of June, the EP was preceded a busy summer including supporting Roddy Frame at the Kelvingrove Bandstand, Glasgow and the new Mugstock Festival. Echoes of great artists such as Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush and Nina Simone can be heard in Siobhan’s songs. Siobhan says of her own distinct style ‘I use my voice differently to many other artists, I'm no that interested in fashion and am more timeless.’ Siobhan spent several years studying Classical music and composition in Edinburgh then Paris, where she immersed herself in jazz and "chanson française", listening to the music of Ella Fitzgerald and Jacques Brel. Fascinated by the complexities and organisation of sound Siobhan believes her training helps her to develop songs with unlimited possibilities of arrangement. Siobhan has been making waves on the indie-folk scene for a couple of years having played to packed venues such as Edinburgh’s Queens Hall and Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall; played several major festivals (Cambridge Folk Festival, Wickerman, Belladrum, Celtic Connections), and supported the likes of Ben E King, Justin Currie, Eddie Reader, Sophie Ellis Bextor, and Idlewild. Siobhan has built up a strong fan base, her song ‘All Dressed Up’ was downloaded more than 50k times on the Pop Cop website. Her music has already taken her to Europe and America, and been featured in a French television advert for the charity Secours Catholique. Her BBC Radio Scotland sessions have gained her high praise. Last summer Siobhan was featured on BBC 6Music Lauren Laverne’s ‘Headphone Moments’. “Smooth, controlled and yet passionate voice; personal, touching lyrics; and swoonsome, jazz-inflected melodies in abundance." Vic Galloway, BBC Radio Scotland “We played this very track on Monday and, to be honest, the reaction to it was huge. Her voice, that instrumentation, those melodies!” Lauren Laverne’s BBC 6Music Blog As always, tickets are available from www.thedrouthycobbler.co.uk or use the opportunity to pop into the venue and try out something from their new menu – locally sourced and freshly prepared food is now served from 8am until 8pm all week.

review
Dining is delicious at the Struan House... Review by Adam & Natalie 6/09/15 When the opportunity to have dinner at Struan House arose we were absolutely delighted. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d heard great things about their sister property, the Rosemount Guesthouse and with a 5 star rating on trip advisor we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to try their food! On arrival we instantly felt Struan House's charm. It felt very intimate and relaxed and the staff were welcoming and friendly from the very start. My girlfriend and I were seated at the window which looked out onto Buckie's town square and were presented with a delicious looking menu, along with their very impressive specials board. I could tell from the beginning that Struan house prides itself on its fresh, local ingredients. For starters my girlfriend had the Seafood Platter from the specials list - a plate mMMFE XJUI BO BSSBZ PG mTI BMM DBVHIU JO UIF north sea just a few miles from the property itself! My girlfriend can talk for Scotland so when I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear a single word from her throughout the course I knew it must have been something special! I chose the Pan Charred Steak for my main course. It came complete with chunky homemade chips and fresh vegetables covered in a mouth-watering peppercorn sauce. I like my steak rare and am always a little disappointed when they never get it right. This was not the case at the Struan House Hotel - It was cooked to perfection and I ate every last bit! If the room were empty I would probably have licked the plate!
For dessert we shared the Rich Chocolate Pudding with Dark Chocolate Sauce and Vanilla Ice cream. Now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not exaggerating when I say it was delicious! The pudding was light and dreamy and the homemade chocolate sauce complimented the ice cream perfectly. A delightful dish to round off a perfect meal! After the meal we where given a tour of the impressive manor house which continued to surprise us. Struan house has 8 letting rooms, 6 of which are en-suite and 2 with private bathrooms. Ellen, the owner, told us that one of PVS HSPVOE nPPS FO TVJUF SPPNT JT GVMMZ BEBQUFE for disabled use and all of our other rooms have facilities suited to the less able. There is also a lift. The rooms were very cozy and inviting - I would have jumped at the chance for a snooze after my lovely meal! 6QPO SFnFDUJPO PG NZ EJOJOH FYQFSJFODF BU UIF Struan House Hotel I can say in all honestly that it is a little gem in the heart of Buckie.
