Day One

DAY ONE?

WORLD HISTORY

The beginning of time has always been the one thing that humans cannot determine. We have theories, scientific data, and technology but even if we really think we know - what was there before that.

Where does the universe end? Does it end? This is where religion comes in, who is the creator. Was it science, was it an almighty thinking God? This has been such a debate since the beginning of civilization. For me the universe is time and our time on earth is too limited to find the answer. As in the past, we did not know the world was round, we will always pursue the answer.

The Big Bang - did a big rock explode and scatter all the planets and stars? Where did the big rock come from? Are we all the planets just a bunch of dust that has been brought together by gravity? Where did the dust come from? We can go on and on. I once heard Morgan Freeman talk about God and was questioned by an Atheist, Morgan simply kept asking, "what about before that".

I am not a religious person, but I am a curious person. I have studied Theology and World Religions, but most of these studies really were about a profit or a disciple. Religion as we know it today, is one of the leading killers of all time. Many lives have been lost do to Religion and the disagreements of who is the profit of God. Even Muslims kill each other over different sects.

My thoughts are, lets just live and enjoy our tiny little lives, do good, be friendly funny and grateful. After reviewing the timeline of earth and the development of humans, from the Paleolithic era to present day, our time on earth is such a tiny spec. Just enjoy your spec of life!
