To boldly go where no man has gone before!

  The universe is vast and endless and mere mortals know not a fraction of its wonders. The reason being that they are stifled by fear. Despite man’s endless capability when it comes to progress mankind tends to go along kicking and screaming. We often believe any new knowledge must contradict our belief in god which brings progress to a screeching halt. For instance Darwin’s theory of evolution states that first came the creatures of the water that ventured onto land and the bible states that god created the creatures of the sea and the air before any other creatures and yet people feel these theories contradict each other when they’re actually saying the same thing. Funny man Katt Williams put this in perspective when he said, “How can they say we come from monkeys when monkey STILL EXIST. What are they the retarded monkeys that didn’t get to become people?”

  But humans are petty thinking beasts so they take any excuse to be the animals they barely evolved from. If you haven’t noticed by now Brittany is no longer holding the reins. Being that the topic pertains to other worlds and beings it is only appropriate that The Scribe should chime in.  It is not foolish to believe in god. We’d be animals without belief in a higher power, in goodness, greater wisdom, and morality. Also it is not sacrilegious to ponder the mysteries of the universe. Both science and religion have much to teach us. Science explains the wonders of religion that we were once to juvenile to understand. Yet mankind is still in our infancy. Another comedian working for the show South Park nailed it when they did a show about atheism. It began with a transsexual male teacher vehemently protesting the teaching of Darwin’s theory of evolution to his students and flinging poo at the interim instructor like a monkey would. The aforementioned students were only being rational when they asked, “Why can’t it be both, can’t evolution be the answer to how instead of the answer to why?”

  From the mouths of babes. This episode of South Park went on to show a future where technology reined and religion was no more but the world was still entrenched in war over the name of what to call their atheist group. As silly as this program is, and silly doesn’t equal bad, this message is very profound. We fight over the name of God when we clearly all speak different languages so of course would all call God something different. It’s actually really sick to use God’s name to fulfill our want of petty violence but we’re idiots. And that is why the aliens don’t visit us. Now know if you’re a skeptic I’m sure you feel this article just got a little crazy but remember the world was once flat and that seemed perfectly logical.

  Remember to invite genius is to invite madness. I’ll quote another funny man Dave Chappell and here I’ll point out that I’ve used comedians to show that knowledge and silliness often coincide. Dave Chappell was called crazy when he decided to forgo a fifty million dollar deal at the height of his popularity. Of this he said, “People always say something is crazy when they don’t understand it.” I agree with Mr. Chappell but I’d say people say something is crazy when they don’t want to understand it. Which is what gives births to sayings such as “Ignorance is bliss.” As my longtime Cohort Brittany is fond of pointing out there are many things we learned as children that are systematically stolen from us as adults and one priceless weapon we relinquish is the power of imagination

 

  It is a concept often dismissed and hippie dippie hogwash. But it reins true. God made us in his own image, we are both creators and conquerors. With the faith of a mustard seed we can in fact move mountains. Yet we stifle ourselves with fear and God said I did not give you fear. Only it is not with magic or hocus pocus that we achieve. It is with human ingenuity. Thousands of years ago it was unconceivable that man could fly but we did not accomplish the task by jumping from a building no matter how strong our faith. The Wright brothers used a scientific process to craft a machine. And that is the essence of progress, belief for the Wright brothers would never have achieved had they listened to the sound reasoning of nay sayers, and science for the task was not accomplish by jumping from high altitudes with no plan what so ever. One day mankind shall conquer the universe for it is our destiny but like the moral of the infamous Tower of Bable we must set aside our petty differences. We must go only with the blessing of god therefore with no ill intent and for no selfish gain. The universe is simply too vast for us to be alone and if we fear what is out there we’ll react and bedlam will ensue. We are not presently ready for full knowledge of the universe because we fear new knowledge. Scribe out.
