Johnnymontana's blog: "Thoughts on the Sundry"

Fortunately for all of you that read my work, I have a very simplistic brain.  This is good news because it takes not much concentration to follow this blog.  On the other hand it might be good to read the other blog in this section before you get into this because we are taking on some very weighty and unanswerable questions today.  Some would say why discuss this if you have no answers.  I would respond because most of the religions in the world do the same thing and they have no answers based on fact either.  Why not just join in and have an opinion.  Better than sitting around wondering if others feel what I do.  If they do not they wil tell me I am an idiot.  If they do have something in common with my idea of our place in the universe they will realize they are not alone in their beliefs.  I just want to have peace and know where I am going cause no one gave me a road map with rest areas when I came popping out of Mom's womb and the doc slapped me on the butt.  So lets think about random versus design and planned in the universe. The big argument between creationists and evolutionists. 

Evolutionists say that everything in our universe began with a big bang.  So do many rock concerts I have performed in or seen in my life.  Astronomers, who are basically space physics and chemistry guys,  say they have scientific evidence all this "big banging" actually happened.  The problem is that they are not telling me where the bang came from.  I am certainly not a physics guy but  I do know that to have reaction like an explosion or force to create a universe and planets and comets and stars, you need to have a match.  I know, this is very simplistic but I told you I am not complex.  Think about it for a moment.  To start a big bang one would need one of those BBQ lighters x 10 to the trillionth power wouldn't you think?? So who made the lighter Mr. physics guy?  They say they have not got that part figured out yet. How convenient for them.  The  facts are though that with our modern technology and knowledge of physic, chemistry and other disciplines there was certainly some kind of powerful force that created this universe.  We see it in the astroid belts between Jupiter and Saturn and other debris fields we have detected and more information is pouring in with the Hubble telescope which can see farther into our universe than any other tool designed by mankind.  There is a new telescope in the works that will be able to detect life on distant worlds and if it is there we will certainly find it.  This i snot future technology but actually available now.  They also will be able to find out if these worlds are prime for a McDonalds franchise and maybe a subdivision or two depending on land values on that distant world.

Now this big bang stuff drives religious people nuts.  Believe me it is a long hike off a short pier for them.  This is not what their scientific book the Bible says.  It says the world was created in seven days.  Get out!!! This is not a magic act we are talking here.  We are talking about a chemical and physical process that created other reactions that then led to heating, cooling of land surfaces on planets and eventually created what we now know as, for example the planets in our solar system.  If you look at the pics from the recent Mars Rovers that have landed on Mars you will notice that Mars looks alot like the desert in Arizona and eastern southern California.  So the idea that men are from Mars may be partially correct except we actually evolved in its sister environment Arizona.  What women are saying is that men came from a dry desert with lots of rocks and sand.  Sounds about right.  Of course women are from Venus which is basically a lot of hot gases and insufferable air pressure.  I leave that symbolism to your imagination. The point is though that we have worlds that appear somewhat similar, have volcanoes and lave pouring out of them and many of the other natural phenomena we see here on earth.  We did not know this a hundred years ago.  Now we do have some sense of the likelihood that many parts of the universe do appear to be based on laws of the universe rather than us being special in our little niche.  Sorry religious folks....that really is a fact.

But we have still not answered the question of where the particles and matter came from to create the BBQ lighter that set off the big bang in the first place. Congratulations religious folks, this is where we have to look to you and will tomorrow.  The big bang, whoever set it off, created laws of the universe that are much to organized to not have some thought behind them.  We will look at that tomorrow...
