Alright. Sorry guys, my first blog got deleted by my lameo internet problems, and I didn't know how to save. My thoughts..my thoughts...
The fact that those little bacteria guys managed to pollute this whole planet into a place where we can survive blows my mind. I wonder if us humans will manage to do the same? The dino's got unlucky and a big chunk of rock ruined them, but we seem to be on the path to ruining ourselves.
How God fits into earth’s evolution? Well, I have no problem with seeing that God could be the reason for all this scientific process…I mean, why couldn’t He have made something as complicated as the Earth? Also, I would think time means little to Him, He is omnipresent and eternal…A billion years would mean nothing, so why couldn’t his thought of a day be our thought of millions of years passing by? It’s always interesting to think about.
I question that we can decide how to place a number of importance of a species. Everything everywhere is always changing, evolving, new species being discovered while others go extinct. We are all connected in odd little ways you don’t ever think is important until Bam, that species is gone, and we can notice the affects. Since this is so, how can we say oh, well, Plankton, you put out tons of oxygen, you are most important. (Ok, I know they do more than that, but for the sake of a little argument, just to get a new angle…) Trees are pretty big deals too…Not just oxygen, but they keep things from eroding, they are homes, heck, they help us build our homes. This isn’t even going that deep into an argument, I don’t know enough about my species, but it was what I thought after we did that talk in class the other day.
Anyway, these movies are really interesting, they give us lots of food for thought. I find that how we effect each other, and how discovering how the earth was made affecting us is interesting…But it is hard to really think about on one’s own. I like that we are being forced to give more thought about it, we can come up with our own theories, and who knows, maybe someone will be brilliant, and make a new discovery J
I like your first paragraph about where humans are headed. When future species look back at this time period in history, what will they think? Will we ruin the environment for ourselves like the bacteria? Or will we get unlucky like the dinosaurs? Will our artifacts survive to show future species what we were like? It's interesting to speculate about how other species might see us in the future....
ReplyDeleteThis is a great blog and it's great that you mention that what if God is the creation of all these species. I think that its true cause Gad created all living creatures and the universe.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting to that this author put ratings on species from 1 to 100 when there are thousands of species out there. I thought that it was kind of ridiculous because some of the rankings seemed to be just random
