Now let us (or me) talk about the intelligent design theory. It was formed in a theists vision of the creation of the universe. Ever since the creation theory was rendered false by the Charles Darwin's evolution theory, the concept of intelligent design has been shoved in our faces. We never notice it, but thats what a lot of educational systems are teaching. The intelligent design theory states that everything in the universe has been intelligently designed by God or sometimes referred to as the "intelligent designer" or sometimes called "grand master sexayyy"(jkjk). Michael Behe wrote that Intelligent Design makes more sense than evolution because all organisms are made out of systems that require every component to be in place to work, meaning evolution could not have added all the components at the same time. But people who believe in evolution state a more logical theory; components in our systems were not added, but altered from a less effective, to a more effective system. And yet Intelligent Design theories are still being taught in schools. What we've been thought in biology classes is that all creatures were made to survive in their environment and have been there since the beginning of time, and shall be there till it's end. But that doesn't seem very scientific does it? Feels like theres a gaping hole between the start of the universe and the origins of the organism itself. Remember that the role of science is NOT to eliminate God. It's just here to find some answers. The one thing that the Intelligent Design theory leaves out is the beginning of these organisms. How did they pop out. I refuse to believe that the universe was created in 7 days just because it's written in a book. And I refuse to believe that the world we live in now is just there. I know the street I walk on were once marsh lands. And I want to know what it was before that. And before that. And before that. Until we can find some provable theory on the beginnings of the universe.
There is another 2 theories on the beginning of life on earth. The first, of ribonucliec acid being present in the earth makes doesn't really go back to chemical means/explanations. The one about an iron-sulphur world beginning has some sense to it. German scientists managed to prove that organic matter formed when iron, sulphur and a few other elements and compounds fused. Things like amino acids, which are essential to even the most basic organisms cound be formed.
And now to the main topic, time. I just realised, everything that has a beginning has an end. That is true and proven. Mankind most definitely had a beginning, thus it has an end. But I would say one of the 2 main things that just might not have a beginning is the universe, and time. Steven Hawkings discovered the sound that the universe made when it was created (pure genious). But it still doesn't say much. And what about time? A dog doesn't think about how long it's day has been. It doesn't think on a long term basis, or even wonder when it'll die. But time itself was INVENTED by man to explain or relate things. Earlier, I argued on how time could be non existent. This remains to be seen (or not). Right now, I want to talk about how time, since it was invented by man, may or may not have a beginning.
It's not impossible. A lot of us refer to time using a timeline.
eg.
1939 - WW2 begins , 1942 - Japan captures Kuala Lumpur.
and other similar time lines.
Basically, it's not uncommon for us to say time travels in one straight, probably never ending line.
But it's not entirely true.
(p.s. arif, time doesn't travel in circles!)
Einstein's theory of relativity has a section that truly makes me wonder.Actually, it's the only section of the theory that I can understand and explain.
here is the easiest way to explain it:
If you have an identical twin, and you strap yourself to a super rocket, fly around the world FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT, when you return, your twin has aged, and you have basically just travelled through time.
Why? Not because you transported yourself from one period of time to another.
But because you have travelled FASTER than time itself. It's like when you see that camera effect in movies where the camera focuses on one person and the whole world goes by real fast.
Yeah something like that I guess. Can't be too sure.
Until my next period of boredom...
