riddle me this

Ok, so this has been on my mind. I don't know if it makes sense at all but feel free to read on and let me know. also if any facts are wrong let me know too. there might be a good amount of tangents in this post

Evolution or the theory of it started becoming popular and widely accepted around 1870, a way for people to have a non religious reason for existence. It was an escape, it created a theory that allowed people to believe that our being on earth is due to billions of years worth of genetic mutation and many many many impossible coincidences and events. Then prayer and religion were removed from public schools around 1960's (1963 i believe). No longer could we pray as a class or read the bible out loud in class if it interrupted school or hindered the rights of other people. btw, look at our society now, with Columbine, the VT shooting among massive cursing and premarital sex. Even if "imposing religion" is wrong at least society was better as a whole back in in the 1900's.

Ok now onto the real reason to the post and once again be warned that this might not make any sense. So as i stated earlier religion was banned if it interfered with school so no longer can the teachers teach on creationism and us being here because of a divine maker because certain groups of people were offended. Now they teach on evolution and us evolving from single celled organisms through billions of years and how we evolved from monkies, fish, birds or what have you. So now my real question comes along. "Why is it ok to teach on evolution but not creationism?" We banned the teaching of creation because some people didn't like it, so why can we not ban evolution if it offends other people? Just because evolution is not considered a religion doesn't mean its not a belief. Why is it that we cannot teach about my beliefs because there is religion tied to it but we can teach about evolution because it is a "neutral" belief.

Big

I think its healthy to blog, it allows creativity to flow and helps keep the mind sharp. With that said i think i should blog more often. So my 3 followers, keep on following!!

I just finished watching "Big" with Tom hanks, i've seen it before but this time its fresh in my mind. I think that we can all relate to Tom Hanks to some degree in the movie. While his transformation from 13-30 is physically impossible the events that he went through seems like it can happen to anyone. A seemingly perfect life, an amazing career, to be loved and to love back, to live in NYC. However, there is always that however; something is missing. In his case it was 17 years of life that was missing but for us its something smaller albeit nonetheless gutwrenching. We (humanity) are constantly plagued with the notion of wanting more. "I have everything, but something is missing" should be THE motto for the human race. Seemingly what we have is not enough and there is always that need. The need is always different from person to person; whether it be religion, adventure, love, money or even just consistancy. But, i believe the ultimate question will always be, will you be satisfied with what you find?
