Beliefs

I wasn't quite sure how to title this and for some reason, titling this before writing it almost seemed like it was defeating the purpose of my blog. Well, to be honest, this entry in general won't be as random as I promised. It has a general focus and since it's been on my mind for a bit I decided to get it down.

A coworker was talking recently about when he was talking to the reverend who picks up donations from our work and they had a talk about religion. I started wondering to myself what I might say when the subject would be brought up to me. Do I believe in Jesus Christ as my lord an savior? No, I don't. Why? Well, simply put, I don't know what I believe in. I feel strongly that God is just something that people believe in to make themselves feel safe I suppose. Maybe, safe isn't the correct word. Maybe instead it is a reassurance of why we're here. Why in fact? Well, God put us here. There is nothing else to it.

This is of course what brings up the opposition of evolution. The question here of why, being answered with because we are a strong race. We have evolved to become what we are and to be superior to our earlier counterparts which have long since died out. Do I believe this. Not entirely. I feel that this as well is a reassurance. Something for us to feel safe about. I feel that at some point, God will become as real as Zeus and that Evolution and Science will become the new God. Soon after that, something else, bigger, better, and greater than science will come to light and such a cycle will continue forth.

As "higher beings" we are constantly searching for an answer. The answer to life. Why are we here? Perhaps forty-two is the correct answer, and then again, perhaps it is not. For now, it's good enough for me. All I have to do, is keep believing that I exist and that this world exists. As spoken by Rene Descartes "Cogito ergo sum" or "I think, therefore I am."
