Why I am writing this:

Why am I writing this document which appears to be turning into a book?
Once in a while I would have these thoughts and I would say to myself...
"wow that was a deep thought".  Then by the next day or so I would forget about it...
My thoughts would go away!  This became frustrating to me, so I decided to start documenting some of my thoughts, and that's basically how this came about.

As I write one thought seems to lead to another, they seem to be evolving that way. 
Now It seems as though this may turn into a life long work in progress. 
Please, Don't take this too seriously, or be too critical... it's all in fun.

To begin with, I never cared much for school, I liked the camaraderie but not the structured nature of school.  I don’t really like anything that is too structured...  Maybe that's why I didn’t go to college for very long. 
On the bright side... At least my mind isn't cluttered with teachings from misguided professors, and that may be helpful.

Despite my feelings towards school, I've learned that great structure can in fact lead to great achievements,
I just prefer to think for myself and be in charge of what I believe...  who doesn't?

Side note:
Ever wonder why schools seem to teach people to be good employees, but not necessarily how to succeed as leaders?

I've always been an honest person.
I try to do right and speak the truth. 
And we all know how the truth can get us in trouble at times...
Gets me in trouble at times with my wife! 
Like when she catches me looking at another women and I say something Honest like,
“What...She's pretty”.  I think women are like flowers, they are beautiful creatures...
Why shouldn't we enjoy looking at them? Or men if you feel that way about men?

The problem is that most people, women and men, "Can't handle the truth!"
I'm talking about the truth people were taught at home, school, and church, not to question.
However, If you tell me not to question something or to "have faith", or accept it...
That's when I start questioning!

This writing has become my seeking of truth, not necessarily the taught truth. 
Keep that in mind as you read this and also when you start thinking... This is crazy talk!

I have to admit I never studied literature, philosophy, theology or anything else contained in this endeavor.
However I do tend to research what I write sometimes.

This is like my digital scratchpad I'm sharing with the world. 
I read this once in a while and make little changes each time, although never finished,
I feel it is at least fair enough to share.

I hope you enjoy it...
Feel free to help me out, and let me know your thoughts on the subjects I touch upon.
I know many of which are controversial, and go against what you were taught, and may just plain be wrong.  

If you would like to express your thoughts on something I've written, please do...  I have an open mind, and this is all about "free thinking" and learning.

Thanks for reading this far!

Anyway here it goes…

This is an example of one of my Deep Thoughts: (click the links at the top to see others)

Sometimes I wonder... Could we be our own creator?
It is amazing to me how much man's creations have expanded in the past century or so...
Imagine what man may be able to create in the next thousand years... Man's creations are expanding at an exponential rate.

Jesus said his kingdom was not of this world, and he said he was the "Son of God", he also said he was the "Son of Man".  Then he said that his God or "His Father" is the creator of heaven and earth...?

Today we know that what we can see of heaven and earth or "Gods creations" is equivalent to one grain of sand among all the sand in the world squared...  This leads me to believe that we must still be in a very primitive state of evolution, and that we have only just begun our journey of discoveries.

We also know that all of the forces in the universe have an opposite and equal force,  and that all of these forces meet at some point... for example: Hot/cold, Life/Death, Good/Bad, Something/Nothing and so on... Therefore, at some point man must meet his creator...  I don't believe it is unrealistic to ponder the idea that man's creator may be found within!

We exist as part of the infinite cycle of life in the universe with infinite creations and extinctions.

Ask yourself this...
Do you have God in your heart? 
Do you have absolute resolution? 
Do you have absolute dimension? 
Now ask...
Are we creating things with greater and greater resolution and dimension? 
I think the answer is... "YES".

Then I found this:  http://www.allaboutscience.org/origin-of-life-video.htm
WOW.

And now this:
"Up until now, organisms have come into being on their own, as it were; they've evolved on their own," Kaebnick says. But, he says, Venter's work says, that may not longer be the case.
"And for some that's a troubling development."

“The day before he suffered he took bread in his sacred hands and looking up to heaven, to you, his almighty Father, he gave you thanks and praise.  He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said: Take this, all of you, and eat it: this is my body which will be given up for you.  When supper was ended, he took the cup.  Again he gave you thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples, and said: Take this, all of you, and drink from it: this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me.”           (Notice the use of the word You.)

However when I studied the history of evolution on earth, it seems to discredit the self creation theory...  see below.

And this:
Life on Earth is of no consequence to the universe...
This may sound depressing, but it's the truth.
We humans are not as special to the universe or Earth as we think we are...
However, our lives are special to us and our loved ones.
Therefore we should live our lives to the fullest.

A little research I put together...

• 4.5 billion years ago, earth was formed.
• 3.7 billion years ago, oldest dated rocks.
• 3.1 billion years of no information?  Could we be in the 3rd or more period of evolution on earth? (Large asteroids may have caused total destruction more than once or twice)
• 570 million years ago Cambrian period. (first invertebrate fish corals and shellfish)
• 517 million years ago emerged The Pikaia which may be the ancestor of every animal on Earth today, according to the theory of evolution.  These Pikaia creatures had no jaws or teeth, It took another 42 million years for jaws and teeth to evolve.
  (this was the beginning of vertebras)
• 505 million years ago Ordovician period. (first nautiloids, looks like a squid in a shell)
• 438 million years ago Silurian period. (first land plants and sea scorpions)
• 408 million years ago Devonian period. (first sea creatures evolved legs for land, insects)
• 360 million years ago Carboniferous period. (first reptiles)
• 286 million years ago Permian period. (sail-back reptiles)
• 245 million years ago Triassic period. (first dinosaurs)240 million years is the age of the oldest dinosaur fossil.
• 208 million years ago Jurassic period. (first birds or feathered type animals)
• 144 million years ago Cretaceous period: (last dinosaurs period)
• 125 million years ago first marsupials or mammals appeared.
• 65 million years since the Chicxulub asteroid hit the Yucatan (it was6 mile across)
• 65 million years since the non-avian dinosaurs died out,  (near total extinction on Earth)
• 64.7 million year ago Shiva asteroid hit the Indian ocean(it was 25 miles across)
• 64.7 million years until today, Earth has been re-evolving... Life we see today replaced the dinosaurs.
• 47 million years is the age of Ida, the "missing link" fossil. (but not the missing link?)
• 2.5 million years since the appearance of the genus Homo, (human-like)
• 200,000 years since humans started looking like humans of today,
• 25,000 years since Neanderthals died out.
• 10,000 years since civilization.
• 5 billion years from now the Sun will engulf the Earth. (That makes Earth about middle-aged)
• Dinosaurs inhabited the earth for about 165-175 million years, that's only 3.7% of  earth's life.
  The first human-like creatures appeared only 2.5 million years ago, that's only .055% of earth's life.
• For a perspective...
  human "civilization" began only about 10,000 years ago, that's just .00022% of earth's past life and about the same percentage of the expected future life of earth.

It appears humans may not have been the first highly intelligent(?) life forms on earth, since we have over 3 billion years unaccounted for.  It also appears that humans will someday also become extinct, and be replaced by new and unknown evolutionary creatures in the future.  I don't believe humans can do any better than the dinosaurs when the next large asteroid hits...  seeing that it takes the earth millions of years to recover from such a catastrophe.

It took  over 62 million years for genus homo to appear during the current evolutionary period on earth, that's just 1.24% of the future life expectancy of Earth.
That means genus homo could evolve approximately 80 more times before the end of Earth's life.

Note: 
Regarding global warming:
Humans are insignificant compared to nature...  It is arrogant for humans to believe we can destroy the earth or influence earth's ever evolving nature and climate.

*We will have true global warming and cooling when nature hits us with another 6+ mile wide asteroid!
