| Have we not mentioned the big bang theory here? Let me do so. We certainly know that our universe exists, however, this knowledge alone has not satisfied mankind's quest for further understanding. Our curiosity has led us to question our place in this universe and furthermore, the place of the universe itself. Throughout time we have asked ourselves these questions: How did our universe begin? How old is our universe? How did matter come to exist? Obviously, these are not simple questions and throughout our brief history on this planet much time and effort has been spent looking for some clue. Yet, after all this energy has been expended, much of what we know is still only speculation.
One of the most persistently asked questions has been: How was the universe created? Many once believed that the universe had no beginning or end and was truly infinite. Which brings me to quote William Blake, If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is: Infinite. From the marriage of heaven and hell. Through the understandings of modern science we have been able to provide firm theories for some of the answers we once called hypotheses. True to the nature of science, a majority of these answers have only led to more intriguing and complex questions. It seems to be inherent in our search for knowledge that questions will always continue to exist.
So, what you belive is not what I may think, nor three people sitting down the table from me. When you say did one man create everything, and get the title of being the supreme being, or is it just much easier to face the scientific facts of life?
When we can also compaire mythology to the bible... the bible says the flood, the mythology side is life was formed in the ocean... or not so much, my mind has faded a little since Latin, but all the theories state somehow water was the source of all creation... that's where I find it disturbing to believe anything. |
