Wisdom

The article we had to read for the next session was hard to comprehend.  I received the gist of it, though.  Basically, the Wisdom of Solomon was about beauty.  Solomon (supposedly is Solomon) was pondering why people believed that the beautiful materials were not created by God.  Namely, materials such as fire or water or even the earth itself.  Solomon did not blame them because the people would believe it until they saw it for themselves.  And the creation incident took place quite a while ago.  Billions of years ago, more or less.  So, Solomon certainly did not blame them.  They just simply had to believe that God did.

Well, this was an interesting article.  It really opened my eyes.  I never once thought about how nature in general came about.  Now, however, I must admit a lot of time and especially energy was devoted somehow, someway to make this world existent.  But, I don’t agree with Solomon.  At least not that it was all created by God.  My viewpoints are more scientific, logical.  So, I agree with the Big Bang theory.  The Big Bang theory could explain how Earth came about.  But, what about beforehand?  There’s no evidence about that.  And the Big Bang theory is just that, a theory.  So, I believe that, at one point, there was an ultimate being.  But after that, he or she, or better yet, IT, just let all of its creations loose and essentially let “science” take over.
