1000 miles per gallon available right now and you probably have it!

With all the talk about increased gas prices going over $3.00 a gallon and some places in New York at $4.00 per gallon, you'd think we would be more open to producing our own energy in this country.

Talking to my son, Shane, the other day, he told me an astonishing thing when asked how efficient the human body was. "They say that a human can get 1000 miles to the gallon".... wow! looking that up on the internet I found this quote:

"You can see just how efficient the human body is if you compare your body to a car. A typical car in the United States gets between 15 and 30 miles per gallon of gasoline (6 to 12 km/L). A gallon of gas contains about 31,000 calories. That means that if a human being could drink gasoline instead of eating hamburgers to take in calories, a human being could run 26 miles on about one-twelfth of a gallon of gas (0.3 L). In other words, a human being gets more than 300 miles per gallon (120 km/L)! If you put a human being on a bicycle to increase the efficiency, a human being can get well over 1,000 miles per gallon (more than 500 km/L)!" http://home.howstuffworks.com/diet1.htm

....and this....

"If we compare the amount of calories burned in bicycling to the number of calories an automobile burns, the difference is astounding. One hundred calories can power a cyclist for three miles, but it would only power a car 280 feet (85 meters)!" © The Exploratorium, http://www.exploratorium.edu/cycling/humanpower1.html

... and yet we have more faith in man-made concoctions and discoveries than the one who made us. We spend our lives studying nature and spend so little time studying and learning from the One who made nature. Why?

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9
