God Vs. Man

Trying times, these are, in the realm of faith. What to believe, what not to believe, (and to believe at all), that is the question.

Emerging from the dark ages of Modern Times, and the almost dreamlike era of the past, technology has uncovered our world, and removed the previous barriers of ethnicity, nation, and the individual Descartes and Freud. Wikipedia from the mouth of the new God, Google, has become the bible, from which all things are learned. Nasa's Pheonix lands on Mars and uncovers likelihood of life. Evolution more a matter of fact than theory. A continuous uninterrupted, unaided evolved universe the most rational theory.

Not so fast, at least not so furious! Intelligent design struggles to uphold their tenant of a designer, but what of their evidence. There is without question of a doubt mathematical principles inherent within the fabric of the universe, which have guided the production of incredible creature: homo sapiens. Whence the existence of these principles, the existence of matter? The big bang does not explain it

The scientist argues, all one needs is a sufficient environment for life to exist and whola. The precision of the planet earth couldn't get any better. But is it that unlikely given the amount of matter in the universe, the amount of possibilities for planets to form and within a decent position from a star for this to occur. It doesn't take a stretch of the imagination, given enough time, and the conditions and laws of nature. But what of the existences, yes, the raw existence of nature, of these laws, of matter? Has it always simply existed, the first law of thermodynamics, energy can't be created or destroyed.

My conclusion is science can't answer this question or can only assume, and such an assumption is an act of faith. Thus, one is stuck in the realm of faith whether one likes it or not, and there is a lot of evidence at least to be able to say, wow, what a wonderful world we live in, where did it come from?

The Cause of the Oil Crisis

My girlfriend surreptitiously burns the midnight oil submitting reports to the democratic news vector CNN Money, saying the cause of the increase in oil goes by the name of nefarious speculator in an unpretentious town home, in Strasburg, VA. That’s right, he’s the culprit for the rise in oil prices, and the reason I have to pay more at the gas tank! Gleefully, he continues to purchase more and more oil stocks such as Apache, and Petrobras, but forgets somebody has to pay for these wicked exploitations.

Certainly, US discretionary habits and oil addiction, the economic big bang in the East and Chinese and Indians purchasing tiny tatas at a neck breaking clip and driving them around like a disturbed ant farm has nothing to do with the growth in demand for oil and the increase in prices at the pump.

A litigationary probe immediately needs to be conducted by the government and a satellite monitoring of this criminal and others who with impunity continue to click buy on Zecco and Etrade.
