Okay, UBER overdue, but better late than never I guess. What do I love about life, huh?
Hmm.....a better question might be, what DON'T I love about it? Bear with me now, because this going to get a bit complex.
With so much still largely left to theory and assumptions about the ever expanding mysteries surrounding us as a species, there is so much to see, so much to discover. I mean, when you view humanity as a singular race, we are still incredibly young. It's been, what? 30,000 years, give or take? Taking into account the sheer vastness and elaborate design of everything that surrounds us, all shown in a beautiful simplicity that makes the reality of it seem almost unreal, we've got to be just a toddler on the playground among the big kids and adults.
Forget Stephen Hawking, forget the big bang, forget everything we think we know about the universe and it's origins, and consider this. When a child is first born into this world, as far as the child is concerned, this is the beginning. For all it knew, the universe began with the sound of its cry, and will end on the day it passed from this world forever. We know that not to be true of course, but if a baby is born around...say....1942, do you think it will know, or even care for that matter, about any events proceeding its birth until reaching an age at which it becomes aware and curious of the world around it? This is precisely where humanity is right now. We just got out of the womb. How on this green earth can we possibly have any conventional idea of how old this place is? I mean, we actually had the arrogance to presume and declare that the earth and all of its inhabitants were born at the very beginning of all the universe. I reject that theory. To any christians who would point to the darkness and then sudden light that flooded the void when god created the earth(for if nothing else, that much is certain), I say to you this: I believe without a shadow of a doubt the lord was responsible for the creation of man, and what we know CURRENTLY of the universe. What I doubt, is how much of the universe he is responsible for. Going back to the child on the playground theory, we can assume that where there are children, parents are never far behind. Now here is where the controversy comes into play, folks. PARENTS. PLURAL. As in, MORE THAN ONE PARENT FOR MORE THAN ONE CHILD. If God is the father of humanity and the earth, who would be the father(or mother, as the case might turn out to be)of any other children running around on the playground? Are we really so naive as to think There aren't any other kids on the block? And forget block, what about the neighborhood? The city? The state, so to speak? The scale grows bigger and bigger, and with it the existence of newer and newer portions of the universe become apparent to us.
To me, life as we know it is just a gigantic puzzle full of elaborately scattered bits and pieces. Whether it will happen or not in my life time there is no certainty, but I seek to put those pieces back together again, so that I may understand the true nature of the universe as a whole. Not just what we know, or even what we think we know. ALL OF IT.  That, I think, is what I love about life the most.
