Creationism versus Evolution

Well this isnt a religious article or an atheist article. I was just thinking(pretty dangerous) and I decided to write my thoughts down. With the celebrity deaths alot of people wonder "What happens when we die?" Killing yourself is a really bad idea(understatement of the century) since we dont know for certain what happens after death. I have to admit I was raised a Christian and I still am one but I dont go to church wednesday and sunday as much as I used to. I can do another post about "Snakes in the Pulpit" draining 400 billion out of the community in tithes since 1980. Tax free mansions,cars,private jets and vacations all from our tithes we put in the baskets (plates got too small for all the money)and faith that a better day and blessing is coming to us if we give our last dimes. But I digress...

One of the questions that made Sarah Palin an easy target was her believing the earth is only a few thousand years old according to the bible. Dinosaur bones are believed to be millions of years old. You cant always trust science because I saw a case where a psycho froze her husbands body so the coroner couldnt tell how long he had actually been dead. If watching enough CSI can help fool science then maybe they are wrong about dino bones too. Also crooks fake paintings and documents they say are from hundreds of years ago that the experts and science is fooled by everyday. (So does this mean Mozart didnt really sign my new Ipod shuffle?)

I was watching "Harvey Birdman" and the evolution episode was on. He mentioned male nipples,appendix and tonsils as evidence of evolution. It doesnt make sense that God would give us extra parts. Some males do lactate(covered in venture brothers and king of the hill episodes). Also some of us like our nipples so even if they arent feeding a crying child like Salma Hayek did(she was an angel in that clip) but some men arent complaining and actually enjoy their own nips for fun, no fishsticks.*clears throat* Moving right along....

The thing about Jesus is Christians have to live by faith that all of that actually happened. It is the same as never finding out the truth about Santa Claus,the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy except its for adults who were raised with God or Jesus as their belief. Some of it may not add up but the parts that dont make sense or cant be proven you are asked to go on faith to believe in them. Most of the stories we hear were actually told long before Jesus was born or credited with that miracle. They didnt have the technology to record stories like we have now so its been word of mouth for over two thousand years now. Its easier to expose a David Koresh as not being God because of our technology and as DL Hughley said, "why would Jesus need glasses?"

If most of us are wiped out one day and only a few dvds and dvd players are left over for aliens(who knows) or the future people millions of years in the future watch Superman they may think its a documentary of a real man who flew around saving people. Superman churches would pop up all over the planet to worship the man from krypton and await his second coming. The same way we look at hieroglyphics and wonder if it says aliens help build the pyramids when it was more likely millions of slaves dying while building them.

Also in a show called, "Left Out of the Bible" they mention stories and books of the bible that were reviewed and left out. If the bible is the word of God how could men omit books like that? If I was handling what I truly believed was Gods word I wouldnt touch it unless I was translating it in its entirety.

Now that is most of the up in the air stuff as far as science or atheists. On the God side their had to be alot of coincidences that had to fall into place for there not to be a higher power. Planets are circling the Sun for millions of years and never bumping into it or each other. This evolution happens only on this planet and not on the others from what we can see on their surfaces. If evolution did happen on other planets before us where are they now and why didnt they visit us and stay?

The entire soul and conscience sounds like something someone could have made up instead of crediting critical thinking about what is right and wrong based on social acceptance. I dream, sometimes bad and some are good but my dog also rolls around barking and farting in his sleep too so his dreams must be eventful.

The only thing both sides of the argument can agree on is that you will know once you are dead the answer to "What happens when you die?" Right now I believe there are two options: You will close your eyes and thats it fade to black like when you go to sleep and dont dream or you forgot your dream. The second one is you wake up waiting in line for Heaven, Hell, Purgatory or to find out which person or animal you will be reincarnated into. I have no clue which is correct but I try to live by the golden rule anyway. There are times when I felt all alone in this world and there have been times when I felt blessed and like God was watching over me and blessing me so in those times as a Christian I thanked Jesus.

Steve McNair

I was asleep and my cellphone ringer was off so Im just now reading watching the news about Steve Mcnair. I havent had this many calls in awhile. Most people who know me and even just strangers on the internet know I have been to 90% of titans homes games. I met Steve McNair and he always had a smile on his face. The first game and seeing his pictures around the stadium this year will be tough for me and everybody else. My prayers go out to his family and close friends.

4th Fireworks

Its 3:37am here in nashville and Im hearing my younger neighbors shooting off fireworks. The only reason some call people call the police is because of the gun laws in tennessee. From inside the guns and the fireworks sound alot alike. New Years Eve is when you can hear both around here to celebrate. Staying inside is more of a safe than sorry situation. I would run through any amount of gunfire to buy my lottery tickets,lmao. The megamillions rolled over to 133 million for tuesday july 7th and the powerball for tonight is 25 million. I still need to get my tickets but ill have to work the schedule around visiting relatives and watching the Williams sisters continue to make history in the tennis final today.

4th of July weekend

Have fun this weekend even if you are alone. Im watching a show about a paralyzed woman who is pregnant. She and her husband are very excited but nervous. They are staying positive and they are going to fight until the baby is here and healthy. That goes to show you to never give up(jimmy v) no matter what your situation is. One report said 12 people have killed themselves and left notes saying they didnt want to live in a world without Michael Jackson or they were so depressed because of his death. Some say you are a coward if you kill yourself but thats really harsh. If you cant handle life its a good idea to talk to a professional over the phone or internet and they allow you be anonymous. No one here can guarantee you what happens when you die so why take that chance of making literally the biggest mistake of your life.

Prenups

I was listening to a Howard Stern interview posted on Shabooty and he mentioned he signed a prenup for this marriage. He talked about never getting married again so when he did im glad love didnt blind him. Usher is going through a mess divorce and now he wishes he listened to his mom and others before marriage. Like most people when im in love I think a prenup is so tacky and you cant really love them if you are predicted a failure. Right now since im single with no prospects and marriage and kids seems damn near impossible I can think clearly about marriage is also a contract and you need to protect yourself just in case you fall into that 55% divorce rate in this country. If a miracle happens and I win the lottery or fall in love(both would equal marriage and kids within a year of them happening) sometime soon im sure ill delete this post or write another post saying only positive things about love and negative things about prenups.

Complaints

I read a quote somewhere that said," Dont complain to people about your problems because half the people dont care and the other half think you deserve the bad things that happen to you." Its sounds negative but I try not to bother my family or friends with any of my problems now. The internet is a great place to just vent to strangers without any real rejection or at least not any I take personally. On the positive side i won $10 last night and the powerball rolled over. Also on the positive side my sound on the computer is fixed. Stay thirsty my friends.

Where does the money go?

I read a report about Eddy(eddie?) Curry's home going into foreclosure. Its a 4 million dollar home and he makes 11 million a year but he is losing it. Most lottery winners are broke in 5 years and athletes and entertainers are broke within 10 years of becoming millionaires. My question is where does the money go? Is there a drug or gambling addiction burning through the money? I would rather live in the suburbs for 40 years than live in a mansion for 4 years and get kicked out because im broke. In the suburbs the millionaires would have money left over for vacations and other luxuries. One person suggested the accountants and lawyers skim money off the top but that cant be the case everytime. 50 cent and Jay-Z have songs where they ask women would you still want to date me if I wasnt rich. They both admitted the money has caused women to think they are attractive when that wasnt always the case in the past so the answer to their "true love" questions seem obvious. Many people are finding out when the money goes the fake friends and shady family members go too.

Lotterypost put up this list:

You believe the best way to get rich is to win the lottery: 1 in 5
You will bowl a 300 game: 1 in 11,500
You will die in a fireworks accident: 1 in 1 million
You will be an astronaut: 1 in 13.2 million
You will climb Mount Everest: 1 in 50 million
You will be killed by a falling coconut: 1 in 250 million
You will successfully navigate an asteroid field (according to C-3PO in "The Empire Strikes Back"): approximately 3,720 to 1
You will win Powerball: 1 in 195,249,054
You will win Megamillions 1 in 175,711,536

These are always funny to me but even with the bad offs of Powerball and Megamillions I take a chance on Powerball every drawing and Megamillions when im in one of their states. Powerball is 20 million for tonight and Megamillions is 113 million for friday.
