God, the Ultimate Programmer

A few months ago, I posted something about how I wasn't sure whether I should become athiest or not. Now I realized that that is a path I cannot tread. I was looking for proof and I found it in a very shocking place. In science.

I know, scientists and priests have been battling it out since before Galileo and Copernicus. Both camps are blind. Science doesn't deny God, it proves God. It proves that there has to be a higher power out there who watches us. Spirituality is in the action of finding this higher power and discovering what it has to do with us. Science leads to understanding how the universe works, a universe so obviously created by God. Science can lead to deeper faith.

Think about it. Einstien discovered the famous equation, Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared, E=MC2. It was a breakthrough in science because he uncovered one very important aspect of physics: matter and energy can transform into one another. Energy can form mass, mass can form energy. We see the latter in our atomic bombs, the uranium is turned into pure energy. The former has only happened once. At the beginning of the Big Bang. Where would the energy come from? God. God is all that was out there at that time, God was the energy. He set off an explosion so catacalysmic that energy became mass. Quarks formed, followed by atoms, molecules, then planets and stars. And through all that, God watched and nudged a few things to ensure that our planet was created with the correct distance from the right star.

This planet was built with a complex ecosystem to support complex life. God could have made us simple, but he didn't. In order that we may know of his existance, God purposely made it much too complicated for mere chance to allow. He made it so incredibly complex that one can see how that he does indeed exist. He used science to create us to prove his existance to us indirectly.

There is more evidence than the Big Bang. What is thought? A neurologist may say that thought occurs when brain cells send chemicals to each other. Chemicals. How can inanimate chemicals create thoughts? How can our emotions, abstractions, distractions, and so on all be mere chemicals? No, the mind, I believe is a direct product of God or some higher being and the brain and its chemicals are the vehicle in which the mind operates. The brain is still an amazingly complex organ. It has more power in it than any computer mankind has ever made. We just don't know how to use it. We only use about 10%. You can see how somewhere in our evolution, God stepped in and made sure us humans got the best brains for our minds to use.

Our basic structure of life is complicated. Its a ten to twenty step process just for a simple cell to derive energy from sugar. Our bodies are created by incredibly thin strands of my favorite two words, dioxyribonuclaic acid. 4 letters. AGTC. My nose was created by AGTC. My blue eyes: AGTC. Adenosine, Guomine, Thamin, and Cynamine (or something like that . . . I know it was AGTC anyways) and Uracil for RNA. This long combination of simple chemical letters is meaningless. God gave it meaning. God allowed it to replicate itself and control the reproduction and welfare of simple cells. Yet these genes only unlock what we look like, not who we are. Our soul is totally seperate from the physical body. God formed our souls, at least its structure. Our lives fill it in.

Through science, God made us. Why? To be perfectly serious, it was pretty damn lonely in outerspace.

God thought we'd liven it up a bit.

In other news, creationism is bunk. Surprised I just said that aren't you? Yes God created our universe, no God did not say "Let there be Light!" Like I said, God create the world through science. Genesis was simply a hebrew understanding about how the universe was created. Today, Genesis's meaning is not how God created the world, but that it was God who did. Creationism states that the universe was created in the Genesis fashion, 4000 years ago.

Our modern science has proved that the world is billions of years old, so there goes that theory. Science has uncovered creation to the point of singularity: the Big Bang. God caused that Big Bang and set the wheels in motion for our lives. What I was talking about isn't creationism, it is science. You can find it in any science textbook out there. I just added God where he wa required.

However, creationism should not be taught in a science class room. Science class teaches the accepted scientific models. The Big Bang theory is widely accepted, creationism is not. The purpose of a science class is to teach how we currently understand how the universe works. Creationism, the story of Genesis, is not a scientific model. Creationism should be taught in a nonmandatory classroom across the hall.

In fact, prayer should be placed back in school. Just don't make it mandatory. Our Constitution says that religion cannot be mandatory. OK, so just don't make religion mandatory in school. But there is room fore it.

It amazes me how so much nothing can happen in just two months. That's why I haven't updated this site for awhile, I've had nothing to say. I mean, do you people really care about my Pre-Cal grades or how well I'm doing in my AP English class? Probably not. Do you care about the boatload of nothing that has occured in the last month? No, because neither do I. Don't get me wrong, I like nothing, nothing is comforting. But something would be fun and exciting maybe. After all, this is my senior year. This is suppose to be the greatest year of them all! I gotta go out with a bang!

Well, maybe I may have something to say. First of all, I hope Harriet Miers is rejected by congress. She is Bush's pawn, its so disgustingly obvious. That old woman's just gonna play into Bush's hands, giving the moron more control of our government. I don't like her at all. She once called Mr. Bush the most brilliant man she ever met.

Brilliantly stupid maybe. If she thinks that Bush is brilliant, she's gotta be as stupid as he is. I believe this is all "You pat my back, I pat your back" bull crap. I don't care if she is pro-life at all, I'd rather see an abortionist sitting at the bench then one of Bush's cronies.

So please congress, reject her. And impeach Mr. Bush while your at it too.


In other news, the yearbook came out, so I have some good pictures of Into the Woods. I also have a little flash for you to watch as well. Its a stupid little parody that almost follows the script (besides the part with the dwarf, the M-16, and the . . . well, watch it!) Anyways, That first one is the cast trying to feed Mike (the Narrator) to the Giant. The second is the Steward in all his amazing glory. Basically three things happened last year, the Odd Couple, the Prom, and Into the Woods. (Although there is controversey as to whether the Prom ever happened. . . you know the story . . .ah well, there is always this year . . .) Other than these three things, not much happened.

This year should get better soon. I'm ready to call it quits. I'll hang in for the required 200+ more days though.

At the end of the year I am going on Mission Mississippi, so if you want to send me any bottles, e-mail me and I'll gladly find a way to take them from you. Or you can simply give me some money. More information can be found here.

The greater the good, the harder the blow! The Steward
