Cracking the Mystery of Life

If you look at evolution, it’s just a big puzzle. Nothing really makes sense but in a way, it does. Time after time, the bible has told us that God created the heaven and the earth. This one line tells us everything. You don’t have to be a big science expert to understand it. It just is. But why?

Ever since the dinosaur bones were discovered, humans have always wondered about the origin of life. How did it begin? How did we get here? If dinosaurs lived for over one hundred million years, then how come they all died? Does life have a beginning? And does it have an end?

Say that the earth is divided into three sections: the outer layer, the inner layer and the core. Now imagine cutting an onion. You have the outer layer, the inner layer and yes, the core. Isn’t this what life is all about? You have the universe, the planets and the sun. Or on a smaller scale, the body, the skeleton and the heart. This can only mean one thing. The centre is the essence of life.

If this doesn’t make any sense to you, consider this.

Life is not something that just happened. It didn’t occur from nothing. There must have been an existence before life could exist. Now just close your mind for a second. What do you see? Nothing. This is exactly how life started. There was nothing but pitch black. But wait, then how come it’s not completely dark when you close your eyes? How come you still see matter? That’s because there’s still life inside your brain. It’s only when you completely shut your brain off that you see nothing. Pure nothing.

For the longest time, scientists have believed that atoms and galaxies made up the universe. This is still true to this day. Atoms formed into particles which turned into matter. Then, something magical happened known as The Big Bang Theory. Could this be the beginning of life?

Whether or not God exists or if there’s even a heaven out there shall always remain a mystery to us. But do you have to see it to believe it? Or can your imagination take you there?

Stuck between life and time

When I was little, I’ve always wondered why I was here. I remember sitting on my uncle’s lap when I was nearly two years old. That was my first memory of life. I didn’t know how I got here, but I knew I was here. To this day, I still don’t understand why I remember this memory. But it haunts me like a flash of lightning.

I’ve never been the supernatural type. I don’t believe in ghosts, or fairies, or angels for that matter. However, I do believe in God. Is it strange for someone to believe in something that they know nothing about? I’ve never been a Sunday girl or even a Saturday girl. I don’t go to church and I don’t own a bible. In fact, I’ve never even read it, except for the first few lines:

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without for, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Sprit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

(Genesis 1:1)

What does this all mean?

To me, it simply means that in the beginning there was nothing. No life, no substance. Then all of a sudden, a flash of light appeared and that is God. He is the creator and therefore, he created the heavens and the earth. One life is eternal and the other is not. The only thing that’s for sure is that time lasts forever and God was always here.
