This is what I believe:
God is real.
Jesus was the Messiah.
The Bible is 100% Truth.
Buddah, Allah, and whatever else is all right about everything too.
Everyone is right, I just point out the bible beceause I spent about 3,500 hours stoned out of my mind reading it over the course of a year and a half.
This is honestly, what I believe.
But Bro, about the evolution thing, I think you are right about that too. It makes sense doesn't it. I had the same exact idea about chemical reactions, and what not when I was like 7.
Then I went on to start thinking about, well everything is made up of atoms and atoms are just electrons and protons spinning around a nucleus.
Then I started thinking, well Atoms are just something that is made up of energy, raw energy arranged in different ways.
Then I started thinking, well, what about the stuff that isn't made up of atoms, or even electrons and whatever, like TIME itself. I mean time obviously exist, we can measure it, so it has to exist right.
So then I started thinking, well Time is vacuum, with lots of energy trapped in it, being pulled in infinate directions all at the same time, etc. etc. etc. It all agrees with everything in science, and every theory that science has had regarding evolution, and the beginning of the universe, etc.
But then I started smoking a lot of weed, and spending a lot of time reading the bible, and WOW.... The first couple chapters were like, wow, this is all about science, then it was like no, no, this is all about everything.
Let me explain...
The first line in the Bible is: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. bla bla bla... then it describes an evolution of the earth.
Well if everything just happened by chance, etc. Cool, it still agrees with the fact that God is real. If you take an astronaut and throw him in space and tell him to describe earth, he isn't going to talk about all the people that he sees, he is going to talk about a big blue ball with land masses on it, same thing, step back and take a look at the big picture.
If you took the entire universe and put it in the palm of your hand, there would still be you and everthing else that you are in outside of the universe, so what else is out there is the big question.
The answer: Who Knows? Who Cares?
The point is if could step back, and look at, everything. I mean physical things, things that we can't see under a microscope even, like Time itself and emotion, etc. IF you could step back and see ALL of it, you would see what GOD looks like, the sum of all parts, or just any part of the sum.
There is a latin word I love, ad quem, it means the goal or extremity to which something tends. So if you are born, than your ad quem is death, kind of like saying the natural order of how things end up.
The truth is, as far as science goes, we know one thing for sure, you can not destroy energy, but only change it's form (and we are just energy), so even if we die and our atoms get scattered all over, they aren't gone, they are just not assembled in the same order as they are right now.
The Bible says, God made man from dust... Well, we ARE carbon based, as all living things are, and if you have ever seen carbon in a solid state, you know, it is the dustiest dust that there is.
So, I think that everyone is looking at the same thing trying to describe it 6 billion different ways, every time someone is born, there is a new way to describe what our existance really is, and everyone is right, it's just a shame that we are so quick to cut down other peoples opinions on the subject because they don't SOUND like what we are trying to say to the world.
So was Jesus the son of God, Yes, so am I and you and everyone else. Was he the only true son of God, yea, he was the only one that agreed with everyone, he just called them hipocrats, he was the first hippie with a cause. Do I think that he rose from the dead, well, the majority of the earth worships him and calls HIM god, over 2,000 years after his death, I would say he did a better job of rising from the dead than Elvis, so far. Especially if the physical world is only part of the greater picture.
And do I think Jesus's mom was a virgin, yes I do, my mom is too, you better not say otherwise.
Do I believe in divine intervention, hell yea, everytime I do anything I like to think it happened and therefore it is part of the greater scheme (even if the greater sceme is the evolution of evolution).
Are the muslims right about getting seventy virgins when they die, well, if they decompose, become raw energy again, and the particles that were them bind with other particles that weren't part of them when they were alive, I am sure at one point, they will be attached to seventy New particles, and therefore seventy pure forms of energy that they sexually bind to (sexually like how molecules have sex, when electrons and protons jump from atom to atom to form new atoms) so yea, since the energy is pure it is virgin, yea why not. or maybe there are seventy playboy chicks just waiting for you, that would be a better scenerio, or maybe it feels better to just be pure energy again.
So what I am saying is, I think your right bro, pass the doobie.
