getting back to creationism and evolution....
i could never present enough evidence to convince you, myself
or anyone else what really happened when god, or the universe
decided put the planet together.
while i do not believe in creationism, i have looked thru a telescope or seen pictures from the Hubble (the telescope)-
at that point it is pretty hard to think to yourself that THERE IS NOT A FORCE larger than we are...
there are times when science is more believeable - you can hold it in your hands- like fossils...they came from somewhere and until you can dimiss their 'weight' you can't just say,
"no, that cannot be!"
religion is a process where the unexplainable is left to the
pages of the bible and the way that a religious person may interpret them......a world created by god is far more difficult to
prove than the idea a spinning cloud of gas and dust coagulates into a star and 9 planets.
religion is a highly personalized belief, an answer to the mysteries of the world. to stand on a street corner and challenge everyone to prove you wrong is a way to stir up the masses.
challenging people to prove you are right is a far better challenge-
you get people to think and question the reason that they are here........
while i do not believe in one particular god it's far easier to question the future than it is to question the past, after all, the past is lost to us.
the future is in the next minute or hour, we have a hand in what that brings, we have a chance to mold it into what we want from tomorrow.
religion is not a bad thing, but when it espouses love, acceptance and understanding and turns it's back on tangible, scientific fact-something's wrong.
look at history thru the middle ages and see how the science minds of that time had to deal with the RC church....
the god of creationism never put anyone to death,
it's the god of religion that has the funny little quirks.
