School

Man, my mind has been bombarded with a ton of information for the past few months. I'm writing today only because of one class in particular: Philosophy. The class sat in a circle today and a few students, including myself, presented some information from our text on the debate between evolution and creation. It's a great experience to talk about religion and stuff; however, I've been seeing a lot of(for the first time in real life) arguments and negative feelings towards religion. Many students in there believe beyond a reasonable doubt in evolution with a smug expression on their faces. Obviously, there's nothing wrong with arguing endlessly over who's right or wrong. Reluctantly, evolution does make sense and looks good on paper as a theory; however, communism also looks good and made sense, but communism is despised around the world by many. I'm not implying evolutionary theory will just go away, because I don't think it will. In the Qu'ran, as I've mentioned before, includes 'signs' before judgement day relates directly with our world today. Writers get recognition or medals for questioning where God is and how the world can live without Him. Metaphorically, Lois Lane in the recent Superman cinema feature did just that, and won a pulitzer prize(in the movie) for writing, "Why the World doesn't need Superman." Simply replace Superman with God. I'm a little depressed, am I wrong? Wow. I remember when my friend and I were talking about this and his philosophy makes the most sense: I believe in Evolution now because of its strong support through evidence, if it appears that I'm wrong when I die I'll accept it in His presence. That statement is smart because: if you're wrong now you'll know what's right later, but you'll be dead. I suppose if Islam is an inclusive religion you could get away with it. Unless you really hate god or something, I wouldn't know. I think I'll write something later entitled, "Why I believe," or something similar with reasons why I believe. But still, as I think about it now. Both sides have great evidence. For some reason I have this feeling that says I don't want to die. I really don't... I leave a lot of stuff out of these blogs. My mind is my playground. You're just going to have to guess some things.
