I never considered myself especially religious however I try to be, but I do believe that God is what put us on this Earth and that we should be happy enough to be alive each day that we open our eyes. Scientists have never seemed to share that thought with me. I always hear about big bang theories, and I guess I never had that curiosity to consider other possibilities. If you got a question, somewhere down the line, a scientist will find you an answer.
Dr. Steven Benner spoke in Italy just a couple weeks ago arguing that life may have started on Mars, rather than on Earth. Even though this must have happened millions of years ago, who would’ve thought Lil’ Wayne knew the truth before the scientists could back him up?
In THIS ARTICLE Dr. Benner says that molecules fold together and stack up to build larger life entities. This process is nearly impossible without help from the mineral components borate and molybdate. Together, these two compounds help to bind life to more life. Apparently, that lifely mix wasn’t here on Earth back in the day, but Mars had loads of it, along with oxygen. Earth didn’t even seem to have oxygen back then either, so I guess lungs must have come from Mars too!
My point is, even if life started somewhere else, shouldn’t we be more concerned with where life is going? Instead of these creative, imaginative and educated scientists focusing on theories that can never truly be proven as facts, they should focus on improving the lives of people today. I like religion because even if it isn’t the most scientific explanation, it certainly seems to be the most forward thinking.
Religion provides the explanations that science cannot. It shouldn’t only be about what gave means to life, but also what life means. In reading the NY Times, I felt enlightened, but not stirred. It ended on the notion that scientists have the desire to continue this debate of what evidence from today can explain about facts of the past. We have such a desire to know everything, that sometimes it’s hard to truly see where that information is going to lead us. Seeing is believing, and ultimately, when I wake up to see the morning sun in front of me, I believe that there’s a reason for that, something greater than just life folding on more life.
