creationism vs evolution
Before I go and write, I am on Morphine, in agony and bored out of my SKULL. No excuse, I am just saying. I like to think I am clever, I believe in God, but have a hard time with Religion and what Jesus was meant to have done, and all these bibles and religions confuse me, so PLEASE, let’s discuss this as adults, if it becomes VERY religious and people argue, then you are proving a VERY bad point.
One god, one bible, and the world would be a better place, I see a world at War, and I see kids getting killed and starving to Death while greedy bastards in suits look at their stocks and shares. I am “Live and let live” kind of guy, I believe in allowing opinions, it’s called courtesy yeah?
So when good things happen, “God did it” Every time. I lost my pain for 2 weeks and many said “Your prayers have been answered” And honest, on my kid’s life, I appreciated the words. Now the pain is back, do I blame God? See where I am going here? We can’t have it both ways, he either helps all the time or doesn’t. If God can help, then why doesn’t he stop kids dying? I had a relative die aged, like 2 of Cancer, is that God’s will, or does “Shit just happen”
So the big bang theory, I don’t buy it, BUT there is proof that was shown by NASA showing everything in the known universe moving away from a central point, so maybe. But it is a HUGE leap in, not faith, just logical thinking to say “Nothing, then a bang from a one singularity” then life
Same leap of faith I have a very hard time with (And MY GOD I TRY) when people try to convince me Jesus did all these amazing things. He way have, but there is NO proof, and please, don’t throw scripture at me from an old book, and whatever book it is, there are about 20! I asked Bishop Eddie Tatro “What Bible” He gave a slight laugh (Real cool lad by the way) and sent me this http://www.biblestudytools.com/vul/ so I will read it and hope it answers my question.
So Evolution, here is a question, when I ask a religious person, I get no answer “God’s will” or something comes back at me. If “IF” We came from Monkeys, why are there still Monkeys, and why is there NO SIGN OF WHAT CAME BEFORE MONKEYS? Follow? Where is it, there is NO PROOF
I said above there is SLIGHT proof in the big bang theory, as we can see clearly that the galaxies we can see are moving away in a circular pattern from a central point, but we can only see 1% of the Universe, so more proof is needed for me. For me to just believe Jesus did what was said, I would be lying to myself if I said I believe. Often I think, is this blind faith, as there is NO PROOF, Just a bunch of old books. I am a man of Science, it is still a young thing Science, it is still learning, but it can prove my eyes water so they don’t dry up and how my lungs keep me alive, PROOF. Science is not perfect, but 100 years ago people thought the world was flat, some idiots still do! So we have a LONG way to go as a species to understand and get to grips with this subject. For me, I am on the fence.
But there are a few on here, I do talk to them, nice people, I respect their ways and their will, but PLEASE if I ask you a question, answer as YOU, don’t throw scripture at me, answer as you would if I said “How old are you” This blog was in NO WAY intended to offend, anyone who TRULY knows me will realise, this is just me asking questions. Because I believe in God I want to ask more questions.
So I will stop here and let the debate begin, for the LOVE OF GOD keep it civil and debate, discuss, let me learn, don’t argue and help me and others find the way or the path, because throwing scripture at me bores me, badly, I want to hear opinions, I want to see proof. The dinosaurs died and I ask what did God do for 65 BILLION years? Is 65 Billion years to us 7 days to God? I have created an EASY answer there, see what I did 🙂
And here is a question, and one, again, I hardly get an answer for.
“In the beginning God created man….” Em no he never, he created Monsters.
Can I get an answer to this? Don’t PLEASE give me “Gods will” or “Gods way” Just answer the question from YOUR mind, God never created the earth with Man. It was big huge Monsters who would have killed us all had we co-existed, and science is CLOSE to proving we did, but I doubt it
Let the debate begin…I ask people who will “Like” this to find it in your HEART to comment for once. Why do people just go down reader and “LIKE, LIKE, LIKE, LIKE” The other day, someone liked about 20 of my blogs in under a minute. Very fast reader or “Whatever”
School me, OH, “The big bang THEORY” Yeah it is just a THEORY, Till SCIENCE can prove or disprove. Some will get all offended here, I just know it, because there is no answer some will just all hate filled and go in a big huff, I ask you don’t, find that good old love in your heart and TALK and debate..
Please
More love, less hate

4 minute video that will Change your Life, I BEG YOU WATCH THIS!
IF YOU ARE EVER GOING TO RE-BLOG SOMETHING, I BEG YOU RE-BLOG THIS SO WE CAN ALL WITNESS THE HORROR AND SEE THE TRUTH!
This video is horrific, barbaric, horrible and says a LOT about us humans. Got a fur coat? Use make up and wonder where it comes from? Have ornaments in your home and wonder what it is made from? What about that rug, do you know it’s origin? Your perfumes, oil’s and more, where do they come from? WE ARE ALL TO BLAME, EVEN YOU, AND ME! If this video does not create something in us, awaken a part of us, then sadly all IS lost and there is NO way back, we have become savages. Individual acts of kindness but we ALL buy into a World that is used to kill Animals to make our live easier on some scale. I know eating meat or fish we must do, but where is the line? Have we passed it? Will we ever go back, has all been lost? What have we become? We don’t care about all our possessions and their origins, we just use them. That spray, yeah it was tested in an Animal first. Where is the line I ask, where is the humility and the humanity? Where is the love and care we show to each other and our pets in our homes, where does that love go when we don’t care what gets slaughtered so we can have nice things. I know many who are vegan eaters and buy clothes made from only certain materials, if we all did this, the trade of killing animals I hope are going to watch will die. We have the power to draw it all back and help make animals who were are close to becoming extinct through greed for money survive,
WATCH THE VIDEO AND SEE IF IT CHANGES YOUR LIFE
DON’T WATCH THE VIDEO AND DENY IGNORANCE
IT IS HARD TO WATCH, BUT WE MUST SEE WHAT WE ARE DOING TO OUR WORLD AND THE ANIMAL KINGDOM WHO WERE HERE FIRST

Woke up feeling really sad, what’s this emotion?
4:15 am Saturday morning here in Scotland as I write this, no sympathy, no hard luck, no bad feelings, I just can’t get back to sleep, pain is still better, just woke up sad, like totally bummed out
Don’t get this emotion, just utter sadness, not feeling sorry for myself, just sad, as if I have been told news or I feel bad news is coming, odd feeling. So got up, shuffled through with the dog waging her tail behind me, I think she thought we were going walkies, yeah right, in the woods at this time, I seen the Blair Witch, got to look at it every night, if I am at the window, bit scary if I wasn’t as I would literally be “In the woods with a laptop”
So waking up feeling sad, I have had similar before but usually a different kind of sad due to pain. Maybe my mind has just realised how shit my life is. I blog about Gadgets and Laptops and big TV’s, let me be honest for a second, they don’t make you happy, and neither does Money, I am no Bill Gates, trust me, but no matter what you have, if you are Sad, you are Sad. I am still happy, I guess, I am just so sad. The pain goes and this shit, sad comes. What gives? I been taking medication in very small amounts, I was shattered 6 hours ago, was almost sleeping watching the Hangover 3 (Good movie) then this. So possessions, they are just things, mean NOTHING, LOAD OF CRAP TO BE FAIR. I guess if you are sad, nothing will help that sadness
This is just SAD
Not crying, nowhere near it
Just Sad
Scientists Discover What’s Killing the Bees and it’s Worse than You Thought
Scientists had struggled to find the trigger for so-called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) that has wiped out an estimated 10 million beehives, worth $2 billion, over the past six years. Suspects have included pesticides, disease-bearing parasites and poor nutrition. But in a first-of-its-kind study published today in the journal PLOS ONE, scientists at the University of Maryland and the US Department of Agriculture have identified a witch’s brew of pesticides and fungicides contaminating pollen that bees collect to feed their hives. The findings break new ground on why large numbers of bees
As we’ve written before, the mysterious mass die-off of honey bees that pollinate $30 billion worth of crops in the US has so decimated America’s apis melliferapopulation that one bad winter could leave fields fallow. Now, a new study has pinpointed some of the probable causes of bee deaths and the rather scary results show that averting beemageddon will be much more difficult than previously thought.
Scientists had struggled to find the trigger for so-called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) that has wiped out an estimated 10 million beehives, worth $2 billion, over the past six years. Suspects have included pesticides, disease-bearing parasites and poor nutrition. But in a first-of-its-kind study published today in the journal PLOS ONE, scientists at the University of Maryland and the US Department of Agriculture have identified a witch’s brew of pesticides and fungicides contaminating pollen that bees collect to feed their hives. The findings break new ground on why large numbers of bees are dying though they do not identify the specific cause of CCD, where an entire beehive dies at once.
When researchers collected pollen from hives on the east coast pollinating cranberry, watermelon and other crops and fed it to healthy bees, those bees showed a significant decline in their ability to resist infection by a parasite called Nosema ceranae. The parasite has been implicated in Colony Collapse Disorder though scientists took pains to point out that their findings do not directly link the pesticides to CCD. The pollen was contaminated on average with nine different pesticides and fungicides though scientists discovered 21 agricultural chemicals in one sample. Scientists identified eight ag chemicals associated with increased risk of infection by the parasite.
Most disturbing, bees that ate pollen contaminated with fungicides were three times as likely to be infected by the parasite. Widely used, fungicides had been thought to be harmless for bees as they’re designed to kill fungus, not insects, on crops like apples.
“There’s growing evidence that fungicides may be affecting the bees on their own and I think what it highlights is a need to reassess how we label these agricultural chemicals,” Dennis vanEngelsdorp, the study’s lead author, told Quartz.
Labels on pesticides warn farmers not to spray when pollinating bees are in the vicinity but such precautions have not applied to fungicides.
Bee populations are so low in the US that it now takes 60% of the country’s surviving colonies just to pollinate one California crop, almonds. And that’s not just a west coast problem—California supplies 80% of the world’s almonds, a market worth $4 billion.
In recent years, a class of chemicals called neonicotinoids has been linked to bee deaths and in April regulators banned the use of the pesticide for two years in Europe where bee populations have also plummeted. But vanEngelsdorp, an assistant research scientist at the University of Maryland, says the new study shows that the interaction of multiple pesticides is affecting bee health.
“The pesticide issue in itself is much more complex than we have led to be believe,” he says. “It’s a lot more complicated than just one product, which means of course the solution does not lie in just banning one class of product.”
The study found another complication in efforts to save the bees: US honey bees, which are descendants of European bees, do not bring home pollen from native North American crops but collect bee chow from nearby weeds and wildflowers. That pollen, however, was also contaminated with pesticides even though those plants were not the target of spraying.
“It’s not clear whether the pesticides are drifting over to those plants but we need take a new look at agricultural spraying practices,” says vanEngelsdorp.
So this is real bad news. Einstein said what he did in the below picture, and with out Pollination, the bee’s die, then so do we, this is a fact. Research as usual is key, so please, don’t believe me, go look yourself. This means you, your children and everyone you will starve to death. Can you imagine a World thrown into this scenario? I can, and it scares me. So here we see US, Killing out planet some more, we are posoning and killing off Animal life and ourselves. The day when we all are to die could come at any second, but a slow death I don’t like to think about. If we are die, let it be quick. The Bee was put on Earth to help us, to help harvest crops and keeps crops growing and spread crops. I remember a World where Bee’s were everywhere, now I can’t remember the last time I saw one. I see Wasps, but Bee’s our friend, we are killing. At some point in our history to come, we will need to stand up and say “NO” But I am afraid this day has came and went.
WHAT HAVE WE DONE? Even if we stopped using those pesticides and fungicides today, it would probably be too late, who would have thought Colony Collapse Disorder would and probably will kill us all. this is bad, real bad. What you eating for tea tonight? ell enjoy it, because soon your eating your Neighbours dog or your neighbour, I can’t see another outcome
