Think outside of the box once in a while, k? thanks...

I had a really good conversation with my dad today, I love talking to him about random stuff. Normally I agree with him, and sometimes I dont, which I'm beginning to learn is alright. Me and my dad dont ALWAYS have to agree, we just normally happen to.

Here are some of the insights we decided on. All of them have sound reasoning to back them up, because we dont just go throwing around ideas just for shits and giggles... (that is, unless it says maybe, then we're just throwing around ideas. Not unlike how Darwin came up with his theories...) Also, consider this fair warning that you may not like what you're about to read, but I listen to EVERYTHING you have to say, whether I agree with it or not. So hear us out, k?:

1. Maybe God created monkeys first, and then decided they weren't good enough, so he modeled man after that. This would explain the similar DESIGN, but that we're so much better.

2. Dont you think that if God were to decide to create a universe, that he would do it with a bang?

3. Atheism takes much more faith to uphold than ANY religion. For me, simply shaking my hand in the air is proof that there is a God. Because seriously, isnt it cool that you can just decide to do that and your arm does it? insane! And that's just shaking my arm :) conscience thought is a WHOLE different ball game... Not to mention that Darwin's THEORY of evolution was so far fetched that even HE admitted that the chances of that happening are slim...

4. God made this earth for us to use right? So MAYBE his plans are for us to use up this world, and then he'll come get us and take us to heaven where we dont have to worry about trees and fresh air. Dont get me wrong, I still think EVERYONE should recycle. NOW! Might as well make this earth all it can be while we're stuck here, right?

5. The thought that we have SO much control over the earth that we can cause the ice caps to melt and everything to fall apart is pretty conceited. Don't you think that if it would seriously cause problems that God would intervene? We're coming out of an ICE AGE people! The earth has been getting warmer every year because we're not frozen anymore! And besides, even if the earth WERE to melt, it would only destroy cities that shouldnt have been built in those locations, had we been REALLY thinking. Whose bright idea was it to build below sea level? and on swamp land? definitely not MINE anyways...

6. Another example of conceited humans: Right now my dad's reading "Case for a Creator" by Lee Strovel, which compares (how do you spell that?) the big bang THEORY to a mouse trap. Basically, there are 6 parts to a mouse trap (just 6, not the inconceivable amount that make up the universe). The chances that over time these 6 parts would come together to the same place and get shaken up to where they happen to fall into their correct spots, get set up, and catch a mouse are SO slim, I cant even imagine that it's possible without some sort of intervention (divine maybe? lol). Not to mention that those pieces had to some how come into existence in the first place!

7. So these people in some technical way that I dont feel like explaining here because you wouldnt read it anyways probably (if you're even still reading) looked into the past (or at least say they did). Here they said they saw that there was a time where physics wasnt like it was now for some unknown period of time, during which the universe was created which makes up for #6. But who's to say that that time period wasn't say, 6 days? lol
