The Universe

My husband and I found a new show last night called, The Universe. It is a scientific show about telling us about the universe. Last night we watched an episode about the Sun and one about Mars. They may have found tiny living particles on Mars that is the start of life. They are continuing to research to see if it was possible for life to have once been on Mars. Mars is our next choice of a planet for Humans to live on. Although the air is CO2 there and it gets as cold as -100F. While we were watching the one about the sun, it gave me more reason to believe in the Big Bang, and all the mystery of space. Our Universe became...from an explosion of a star. All the gravity pulled particles together in our solar system area and formed a gravitational pull. These particels created the Sun and all the planets in our system. The force of the pull from gravitation meshed all the particles together to make our plaents. Now there is a true explanation of "How did we get here" that makes sense to me. How does everyone else not see that. All you have to do is watch a few scientific movies and there is prove.

So many stories, so many myths....

I've been thinking about this....about what I believe to be true about....life.
I do believe the story of God creating the Earth, is just that, a story. There are so many myths, stories, beliefs, faiths that I can no longer believe that this one story about God is true. It now sounds juvenile to think that this being made a human man out of dirt and a female from his one rib bone. What does make sense is evolution. There is scientific studies to prove this process of evolution. And still to this day there are new species being formed by evolution. Here is a recent story of a finch that has evolved to a new species. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/11/speciation-in-action/?npu=1&mbid=yhp

The universe is too large for me to believe that we are the only intelligent life form in this world. The Earth itself has been known to exist for 4 billion years, going through so many changes to evolve into what we see today. The earth has been covered in water, fire, and ice. And it is believed by some to be changing now into a tropical stage. Some see it as human pollution while others see it has a worldly change because that's what the Earth has done for years. I am sure human kind pollution plays a roll in the change, but it would happen regardless.

As for faith. I am feeling a pull towards everything being within myself. To "pray" is to ask the universe for something. Enough positive, strong thoughts about one thing can make it happen. Send out positive thoughts, receive positiveness. Being negative only brings you negativity. Happiness, courage, strength and more resides within a person. We have the power to find it and use it by means of meditation and concentration.

As for death. For a few weeks I would think to myself, "I don't know what would happen to me if I died today, but that doesn't scare me" I'm not scared of death. I have accepted it as a part of life, everyone dies. Just recently I have found what I believe is to happen to us with death. Think back to the Disney The Lion King. Mufasa tells Simba that the dead becomes everything around us. Our bodies with decompose into the ground and become soil. Our spirits will find where it belongs. As for where that is, I don't know. I do still think it is possible for there to be a place for good people and a place for bad people. And those that have unfinished business or just don't know where they go are spirits, or ghosts. I do not rule out rebirth. Rebirth is your spirit becoming another person, where reincarnation is when your spirit can become any living thing; animal or plant. I actually really like the thought of rebirth. It's a chance that you don't really know you have, but you can live it all over again and be a completely different person.
