It's so funny when Evolution goes so far to explain the existence of life, space, and matter, but it still reaches the same problem (left unexplained) that Christianity explaines in full. That is, creation. We are all created beings, but what happens when we seek our own origins? There are splits in the road, but they both go over some of the same bumps. In our imaginations and our ideas of reality, everything has both a beginning and an end. What came before the universe? It is unimaginable. When was God created? He wasn't, so we are left with the idea of and endless existence similiar to the idea of an evolutionary universe. Both go out as factors for judging each other, and we are left with evolution as a simple state of existence that goes from nothing, or less than nothing, to an infinite amount of somethings, and then (presumably) back into that nothing of nothings again. Or, if we choose creationism, we are left with an infinite something creating infinitely more somethings who will, in the end become infinite nothings or greater bits of somethings that are united with the great and infinite something. I'm realizing that I have a strong capability to make mathematical analogies and illustrations. I hope no one makes fun... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
