The Big Kahoona!
The Big Bang Bunk!

You can believe anything you like about the origin of life. That is your right as a human here on the big blue marble, but it is nauseating to me intellectually, that most people are proponents of the "Big Bang Theory". When asked how "life started", these pseudo intellectuals will come up with the same old canned response like, "well, ya see there, two molecules collided together and then"…… This is where I step in and say: "No! I want to know where life started, you are telling me about life already existing and how we evolved from it."

If you ask someone who is "well versed" in the theory more about it, they are going to spout the same dribble. They cannot tell you at what point life was formed and how it was formed. None of these self proclaimed specialists can tell you where or how the first molecule was formed. I am sorry. I must apologize for the angry tone, but this one of my pet peeves. I find it most irritating that people with IQ’s much greater than mine can go through life believing such bunk! They will point to all sorts of "Evidence" such as the expanding universe; and with a smile on their face, they hand you this little gem. I look at them with the same patronizing smile and say, "Hey, my pants expand, does that mean that the universe came out of there?"

The most offensive thing about this "theory" is that so many people, without question, believe it. It is thrust upon us from grammar school and most go for the bait. The biggest flaw with the theory itself is that, in this physical existence, we have learned time and time again, that you cannot get something from nothing. This, if you really want to know, is what the "Big Bang Theory" is all about, in a nut shell. First, you have a vacuum and then "Puff" life springs forth. Wow, hold me back from jumping onto that band wagon.

As I stated, the physical realm that we currently occupy does not allow for some kind of life or matter, for that matter (figure that sentence out), to spring forth from nothing. So logic dictates that we look to another realm; the intangibles. To state it another way, we as individuals must search for the origin of life in places that we cannot see or smell or taste. Once we exhaust the majority of possibilities in one arena of thought, we must, at the very least put some amount of thought process, into other arenas of thought, namely the intangible or untouchable area.

Throughout ones life, others will plant little seeds of doubt or certainty (depending on their personal view on a given topic) into others minds on a certain theory or theories. A young mind is very impressionable, and will scoop up these little seeds, keep them and call them their own, yet it is our job as adults to put aside all preconceived notions and come up with a view that is constant, logical and most importantly "Our Own!"

I know, I know, you are probably saying to yourself, "Yeah, yeah, that is great and all, and it would be awesome to have hours upon hours to ponder the origins of life and the great mysteries of the universe, but I have three kids, a mortgage and a mother in law, living with me, to contend with. To this I say: What do you think they invented doctors offices and The Department of Motor Vehicles for??

So, to sum up my lengthy blathering, I just wanted to say to every human who has ever given a neuron of thought to why the heck we are here: Think for yourselves! Your opinion is no less important than anyone else’s. Your mind is special and your own and should be honed into a weapon to fight the war of indifference. Peace! I am out of here.
