Little Things
This a true story: In case no one was paying attention, some really smart guys (Scientists) came up with a theory. What was the theory? That a creator God, like the one found in the bible isn't necessary for the creation of the universe, at least according to the theory. The operative word here is "theory." Because.....it's a theory, you see. Now that we've established that, this is how it works.
Once upon a time there was nothing. It wasn't really nothing, though. In fact, nothing was actually something. Exactly what? Well, it was so small that it couldn't be detected. Sort of like a stick that was broke in two, and then broke again, and again, until the pieces were so small. they couldn't be observed. Rest assured, though, they were there, just really, really tiny.
The "Love Story" was the next step in this chain of events, causing these very tiny things to suddenly find one another amazingly attractive, as if they'd imbibed some kind of love potion. And, as a result, they began sticking together. Think of interstellar Velcro as an example.
The next thing that happened, these very tiny pieces of matter (The stuff that makes up everything in the whole universe) combined with energy. And, before you know it, they began to expand. What scientists call "Inflation." This is a term generally used in economics, but it works well as an analogy of sorts. Inflation basically means these tiny bits of matter and energy became more numerous and got fatter and fatter.
The rest, well that's simple, all you need is a couple a billion years, because "Time + Chance" makes all things possible. Why? That's just the way it is. It's a game of odds. With that, they turned into everything; weasels, rocks, snakes, biscuits, planets, solar systems, fungus, you name it.
What can I say. I guess, that's it. No more religion. No more philosophy. Because science has, once and for all, figured out everything. These same scientists are willing to acknowledge a version of "God as Mathematician" just not "God as Creator." Not surprisingly, most of them are mathematicians. Go figure.
So, if you're willing to believe that, I've got some very, very tiny parcels of swamp-land for sale, cheap, in fact, just give me a call.
