Life, Death, Heaven, Hell, And...

Life, Death, Heaven, Hell, and Many Thing Inbetween.

Believe in one God, many Gods, no Gods, yourself, him, her, them or nothing, but no matter what thoughts run rampant in your head, everybody has mixed feelings about the function and form of creation. 

Ah, the age old questions; what came first, the infant or the parents? Why are we here? If your going to read the rest of my drivel, you certainly won't find the answers here, but I do have some thoughts. 

I'm not going to thrust my believes or disbelieves upon anyone in this particular blog, just what intrigues me about the very beginning to now. No matter what you believe, God or science for example, if you go back far enough, once upon a time humans did not exist. Science and religion both attest to this. 

"The Grand Design" written by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow states that the current species of humans, us, Homo sapiens, originated in Saharan Africa about 200,000 B.C AP. The written language dates back only 7,000 years ago. More than a 190,000 of undocumented human history, that fascinates me. 

Hawking and Mlodinow claim a fellow named Thales was the first to predict a solar ellipse more than 2,600 years ago. (585 B.C.) I mention this because this was a revelation in science, an understanding that the universe is not completely random nor functions that way. Indeed their is logic and specific patterns that govern our universe. 

"The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible," Albert Einstein said. 

Religion has a strong argument against science, if we (humans) started out as babies, the human race would not exist. 

 Human history could be as simple as the earliest or one of the earliest praised Gods, Bumba. The ancient Boshongo people of central Africa claim the almighty Bumba vomited up the sun, then the moon, stars, animals and eventually people. The current state of politics and corruption in the world would certainly explain humans as coming from regurgitation from the upset tummy of a God.  

The Old Testament claims Adam and Eve were created just six days upon the Earths creation. Humans have only been around for thousands of years, the earth has been around for about 13.7 billion years state Hawking and Mlodinow. In 1961, physicist Robert Dicke argued for us to exist, the universe must contain elements such as carbon. Carbon cooks lighter elements inside stars. The carbon must then be scattered through space in a supernova explosion and eventually condense as part of a planet which takes about ten billion years.  Science? God?

Everybody got mixed feeling about the function and the form, everybody got to deviate from the norm Neil Peart wrote in the 1981 Rush song "Vital Signs."
