Creationism vs. Evolution....
What a heated debate this is developing into, and has been for years. Creationism vs. Evolution. Well, in my book - maybe they're BOTH right?
Because I look at it this way: The Universe and everything in it came about in some way. Scientists are convinced of the "big bang" theory; Religion teaches that it was all created by one God, and Darwin decided to dig a little deep and do a theory on evolution...
We all came from SOMEWHERE, right? I mean, seriously - did one day we just appear and *poof* here was woman looking for a man?
Maybe, just maybe this happened: *bang* - the Universe was created eons ago... and there was life put on this Universe in many forms... and out of this molecule of life emerged living beings that transformed over time....billions of years - as far as the imagination (which is limited in some cases) can fathom.
Who is right, and who is "wrong"? Does it really matter? We are human beings, surrounded by an infinite Universe that holds many secrets and destinations yet to be discovered. Are we so bold and egotistical that we believe that WE are the only forms of life in the entire Universe?
And, so what if - over millions of years - in my present state of "being" I DID evolve from a a fish of some variety or an ape, or a chimp? What I don't understand is why shove ONE theory over another to those that simply choose to believe what he/she wants to believe? WHY is it that some people insist on persuading YOUR belief system to theirs?
Maybe, because, they haven't lost the need to be right... and if you cross over to their way of thinking, it validates their egos and adds another notch to their belts that "yes, WE are RIGHT".
Well, by gollie, cheers to those that need to be right. But, KUDOS to you that stand firm in whatever belief system you have - as long as you stand firm in quiet. There is no need, in my humble opinion, to play tug of war with another and insist that ALL adopt YOUR beliefs. And THIS, my friends, is the epitome of "FREE WILL" that was gifted to us by God/The Supreme Being/ The Goddess/ The Ultimate Creator (whatever YOU believe), in His/Her/Its infinite wisdom.
Be unique. Be you. Be the individual that you were meant to be.
Sending you angels,
