Sunday Thoughts
Been up very early today as usual, walked dog, cooked a little, read a little, read some blogs, now going to write a little.
First of all, I'll say I don't like arguing with people, I have found that there are no winners, or seldom. We all have our ideas about things and some will not change no matter what. Other times I guess, I will change with enough information. Having said that, I will go on!
There has been a lot of talk about evolution and creationism, believers and non-believers, a never ending saga of one side trying to prove the other wrong. I am not a religious fanatic, yet I am a believer. I don't condemn others for not believing. Science has not, nor has anyone proven to me that there isn't a god. I sure can't prove, nor can science prove that there is a god either. I guess that's why it is call "faith".
Most in science tell us the universe began with "the big bang", they tell us they can take it all the way to a "singularity", a single point in time before the formation of the universe. Then something went bang and it all began. Well there is one other question, how did it get there, the thing that went bang? You see there will always be questions and the question, how did it get there. Math can only go as far as the bang, they say the math has not been invented to go further because it is against the current physics as we know it.
I believe that some things evolve over time, change with the environment or we would just go extinct. I guess some thing we extinct because they couldn't adjust to what ever nature threw at them. But likewise, the same question is there, how did it get there. I know, I know, we are led to believe it all happened by chance, the right chemicals, right temperature, the right time, evolution from the primordial swamp. We crawled out of the soup, evolved into trees, and finally driving cars. Yup, the only place this happened in a universe of trillions of stars and planets.
To go on with today, there has been a survey of American troops saying they support torture to get info to help get the job done and save other American troops. Some think this is terrible. Well folks, it is no secret combat effects people in different ways. Kids sent out to do the unthinkable. War is terrible, as long as there has been war there has been torture and atrocities, and I am not justifying it, just say how it is. The "other side does it", so why not us. We have never gotten used to the idea that other cultures don't value human life like we do, and the middle east is certainly one of them. They don't think twice about killing, punishment, mutilation, and worse. Our young people in combat see this, and see this done to their buddies
and are expected to just go on unchanged. I have said before, mommas would shit if they knew what there boys were capable of, and it still holds true! Just understand them!
