Picture this: Warm, sunny day, your favourite drink in hand, great company, and then your phone goes off unexpectedly and you spill it all over yourself.
That has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the article, but it probably got you interested. Sneaky, aren’t I?
“So, hows things been?” I don’t hear you ask. I ignore the blatantly obvious and reply politely ”Good, and yourself”, as etiquette tells me I should.
I have come to the inevitable conclusion that life, simply, is too busy these days. Assignments. Running out of phone credit from texting too much. Time is relative, or so says Einstein. Tutoring. Getting Tutored. Internet. Media. TV. Election Propaganda. On and on and on it goes. Much like that ice cream truck I was writing about a while back.
Speaking of elections, you just have to laugh, don’t you. Both major parties spend the entire campaign telling you why you shouldn’t vote for the other person, before mumbling “Moving Forward with Real Action” and then shuffling off to nuzzle another baby for the cameras. Now we don’t have any prime minister because no one voted. Probably cos none of them knew how to lead.
Something else that astounds me (no, seriously, it does), is how far some people go to disprove God. Stay with me on this one. Recently in our physics classes we’ve been looking at astrophysics, and the expansion of the universe. AKA, the “Big Bang Theory”. Theory states that there was once an infinitely dense point. From that point, everything started expanding rapidly outwards, and thus formed the universe we find ourselves in today. Now, the really confusing point about this is that no matter where you place yourself in the universe, there isn’t a central point, that is, wherever you are in the universe, everything would be moving away from you. There is no originating point – everything just started generally moving outwards, like a dot on a balloon grows bigger and bigger as you blow it up. I don’t disagree with the whole expansion thing, I think that makes perfect sense. Yet wouldn’t it make sense that if everything expanded from one point, there would be one point where everything is expanding from? Apparently this doesn’t fit with the theory, says the teacher. Bullet hole number one in the coffin if you ask me. A second student then asked “But doesnt that mean that if you stood at the outer edge of the universe, and looked in, then the universe would be moving towards you?”. This student was promptly silenced and then arrested my a military man dressed as GI Joe. But seriously, he has a point – if this theory were real, then shouldnt there be some obvious facts that just fit? Apparently these obvious points are incoherent with the theory and thus do not prove the theory false, just doesn’t help explain it to be true.
Come on guys (and gals, of course) – its pretty obvious why scientists hide behind long winded explanations and large numbers - they’re struggling to find the proof themselves. It just didn’t happen. We were created, end of. Fact is, if they accept that, your suddenly responsible for what you do. I guess that’s why Catholics hide behind “Mysteries” and “The Devil” – they too struggle with responsibility.
“So, does this mean that this is turning into a religeous nutters preaching space?” I now hear you think, after reading my rant above. Well, no, not at all, things will still continue as per normal. That is, if anything I ever say or do is normal.
I’ll leave that for you to judge. 
Feel free to leave your thoughts, as per always.
