I just feel so good. I feel so full. Not just of gummy sharks and bad energy drinks, but God and love and peace and laughter and bad jokes and joy and appreciation and creativity and hope and a slight feeling that i should clean my room instead of typing this out.
Im just whole.
I read somewhere about the effects of evolution and intelligent design together. Now; im not one for evolution - been there/done that. However.. as someone who tries his best to keep an open mind, i read on.
He went on to explain himself - His studies and PhD in biology and chemistry lead him to become not only an evolutionist (We have all heard it before, and you say "It goes both ways, right? I mean, people study and become Christians.. or Catholics out of the whole ordeal too") but what also came to his knowledge and heart was the fact that every corner he turned (besides the few gaps on either side) he felt an overwhelming trueness and has decidedly become a believer of the Christian faith as well as Evolution.
Okay. Wait.
That can't happen right? I mean, the two are far from each other.. You can even pick out a few scriptures backing this up! If you're an evolutionist, the science seems to over rule anything even a bit irrational. This isn't anything new, just hopeless "make everyone happy talk"
Hmm...
And yet, scripture has also been known to put "Hell" and "Eternity" together. Which, in case you didn't know.. Hell, directly translated from it's greek word, translates into a city 100 miles west of where Jesus grew up. A place of fire that burns disgusting trash and unwanted materials. He (Jesus) used this as a metaphor for where are hearts eventually turn without Love (God). The other favorite word for hell comes from a direct translation to a deep dark disconnected place underground. (Another metaphor?) Eternity isn't even used with those translations of hell. Only suggested. So.. why couldn't it be possible that 7 days, truly was something completely different from being "our" seven days? Maybe it was a sequence in which things erupted?
Im not sure how inclined i am to believe the two go hand in hand. However, i truly hope it's the case. There are beauties in both perspectives, and if one can tie into another it would change everything about the opinions.
Maybe i'll go into it myself and hope to find the connection myself. Ill end with this, a hope and love unfathomable, and a deep rooted connection with nature and science makes me exceedingly passionate for the two be intertwine.
Moving on! Today was a great day. I had a huge amount of responsibilities at work from my boss going home half way through the day. I got to take over a bit and then close out. I had an Amazing time with friends, being stupid in our new "Mancave" (choreographing dances with gummy sharks and loud rap). Plus, my motorcycle has made rides home especially relaxing. Im Happy.
If you haven't had the chance, i recommend laying on a couch with nothing playing but Sufjan Stevens music in the background. It does wonders!
For now, ill give you some Nsn lyrics to express a current thought -
"You see this world has lots to offer
But in time it will go dark,
And if this love is what we see it is
I'm sure we will go far
And with a girl as sweet as you
There's not much else I can do
But fall for you"
