In my beginning.

When I think about my own life. Really deep think it, I can’t help but question my own existence; but, since I’m part of the human species, I can’t help but question the existence of mankind. God or man-who can take the credit for the existence we have right now?

Strictly from an atheistic view of the world, the evidence is compelling. We have brilliancy, like Charles Darwin, that bring up revolutionary ideas based on something we cannot deny. When I think about the evolutionary theory based off natural selection, the theory seems airtight, natural selection makes sense. On my own human quest, personally I also have to consider historical reference. History is how we have learned from our past, but why is human history not considered in a historical hierarchy such as any government?

Reading the Holy Bible for the first time is confusing. Not only is the book as dense as Lola downstairs while she tries to parallel park her car, but the Holy Bible is dense with pages as well. Acquiring this book, and trying to read it for the first time, cover-to-cover, has been difficult. I got the one that spoke as close to the Engrish I currently speak versus the Fee-fi-fo-fum that the King James Version speaks in. I know this will be no small feat, but also not a complex one.

Read the Bible. Read and understand what the science is against the Bible. Make my own critique of the book: is it an allegory for our life as humans, or a book of magic? Coming around to the rituals of Santa and his magical sleigh, I can’t help but wonder how we are so enamored with a friendly-looking old bloke, who gives little children presents, but Bob from down the street can’t take his daughter to the park without getting the cops called on him. It’s like reverse sexism, but if sexism could be reversed.

Genesis: Chapter 1-The Creation

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good: and God separated the light from the darkness. And God called the light day and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.“(1-5)

-First paragraph and it reads straight out of the opening credits of a Disney film curated for VHS. You know, those old movies in the shape of bricks.

“Then God said, “Let there be an expanse int he midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” And God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. And God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.

Then God said, “Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. And God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with seed in them, on the earth”; and it was so. And the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.“(6-13)

-My neighbor Jeremy swears he knows everything about everything. We get it Jeremy, you are smarter and better than us blah blah blah. So, I asked Jeremy about the big bang theory, and he just proceeded to tell me how he thinks Penny is hot and has a nice bum. Searching my brain for any connection to a female dressed as a hot penny for halloween, I came up dry and only found the words “huh?”

Jeremy told me how it was another female on some show called The Big Bang Theory, not the most scientific answer I was looking for. I asked Jeremy if he believes the earth really had some giant universe explosion and boom we just showed up. Jeremy told me no, he said that is a common misconceived theory and that the universe actually expanded slowly over time. Jeremy is always using the word actually. Always.

Anyways, I consider myself a knowledgeable human, (don’t we all), and decided to educate myself on what actually happened in the universe. Jeremy was right, (of course), and google keeps telling me that the theory is we all spanned from a single speck of intense energy. I believe it. Reading the web for the math and science that measured the universe, it seems logical and verified by others. What we can’t explain is how that speck got there.

That speck is what I am concerned about, not the finite bubble of a speck we live in, but how did that speck originate. Big science, like big Pharma, has some brilliant talking heads like Dr. Machu Pikachu (Dr. Michio Kaku) pioneering the ends of the universe with theories that they can’t even follow. What if the God theory is correct though? Dr. Kaku was running his jaw about how we could be in a series of multiverses and everything that ever has a chance of happening happens in a universe. So why can’t our universe have a god? Or thee God? If everything has a chance of happening, is that not the same chance of a speck expanding over billions, and billions of years, and we being so lucky to experience this world as a human?

Being a human is amazing. I look at my dogs and wonder who needs who more. Would they throw a funeral for me if I were dead? Doubt it. Buddy only sees me as the gateway to his stomach, because I clean up his crap anyways. Are dogs just stunted evolutionary beings, yet I as a human won the race of chance and get to keep him like my own personal Pokemon who doesn’t do cool tricks, but I get to clean up his poop instead? Fair-trade I assume if I consider I get to eat something sooo delicious like a cheesy-pizza and he suffers with grass-fed kibble.

The scientific theory seems like a very human way to describe the beginnings of the universe, but the Bible also seems like a very literary way to describe something so complex.
