We're going to take another side road here for minute. But one that is definitely relevant to the current state of our society and government. And that is the role that religion plays in the world. One very recent thing in my life has had me thinking on this subject again. My young female cat is in heat for the first time. Until now, this cat would not let ANY other cat get near her. Now she's inviting every tom in a 5 mile radius to have at her. Amazing what hormones do. Examine human behavior. OK, back to the point. I would like to see a bright atheist explain scientifically how chemicals could combine by random chance to create life that develops not only the physical characteristics that require 2 entities of opposite sex to procreate, but the behaviors we see that enable it's completion. How about love? Oh, they'll say, that's just a behavior developed to assist reproduction and child rearing. Really? Think about that for a while. How about the appreciation of beauty? Not human physical beauty, but the beauty of this planet we live on. Have you ever seen a dog, cat, cow, or any other animal gaze in rapt wonder at a beautiful sunset?
Ok, let's tie this in to our current state of affairs. Even if you don't believe in God, you have to admit that the Bible is a history of the Jewish people. Amazing how when the Jews were following God's instruction, they were prosperous and at peace. And how every time they got off track, denied God and His ways, they ended up conquered and even carried off into captivity. I think you get the point.
Thank God we are more than chemicals,
Dumb Farmer
ps: The title of this post comes from the great comedy/science fiction trilogy of Douglas Adams. The first of which "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" was made into a terrible movie. I have seen VERY few movies from books that do the book justice, and that was one of the worst. Anyway, the protagonist is rescued from Earth by a friendly alien just before our planet is to be destroyed to make way for a new interstellar freeway, and spends the rest of his life searching the universe for the answer to "life, the universe, and everything". Highly recommended reading!
