I took this picture on a hike the other day to Maroon Lake with the Duchess. It shows a creek emanating seemingly right out of the rocks; from nowhere it would seem. I wonder where it comes from?
I wonder where we come from; the earth, the universe, human beings. Well I know where humans come from and I know about sex.
There are those people who believe that all this creation happened in 6 days, 6000 years ago by God. People used to think the world is flat. It was not so bad at the time to think the world was flat, as we did not have ships capable of crossing the ocean.
There are those that believe that God, created the universe and the resulting earth with a big bang. Believing in god is not inherently bad. In fact, like the belief in the flat world, I am not sure we have the ships to cross the ocean of “no god”. AND more importantly the ocean of God as we cannot imagine
There are those that believe it all just started from a big bang that was started through some primordial event.
Like I said; we used to think the world is flat.
Imagine all the things that we used to think were absolutely right; and then later we discovered how wrong we were. I used to believe in Santa Claus. It’s not bad believing in these things most of the time.
I think that knowledge is a good thing. Any religion or belief system that desires to restrict our quest for knowledge is a bad thing. I believe that in the end we will find God; through science. Of course…. Right now… there is one right answer to all this. We just don’t know what it is. Anyone who thinks they know the right answer is full of shit and does not know how to flush the toilet.
When I talk to my brother, Sadam, he thinks that global warming is totally a part of natural climate change. He might be right. If he is right; that would be good, I think. If he is right and we limit carbon emissions and become free of our oil addiction with the Middle East all that effort would be wasted; right? He might also be wrong. Global warming may be like the world is flat; we just don’t know which side the flatness is on yet. I am not sure it makes any difference. The world is polluted and cannot sustain 9 billion people and we had better do something about it.
I think I know where the creek comes from. If we were to walk further up the mountain, we would encounter Crater Lake. I think the water goes under the rocks until it surfaces at the point where I took the picture. I could be wrong. But I don’t think so.
