Learning something every day

It seems like it has been forever since the last time I blogged so I am hoping this time will be a profound blog. Religion in our lives can tend to be a funny thing. It seems like we get so worked up and pissed off about what other people think and believe. Religious arguments tend to remind me of school children arguing over whether or not pizza is better or just as good as ice cream. It is important to the school children at the time but in the grand scheme of things they are going to stand by what they like. Now we take religion on the other hand and although it is very different from the school children question, it can be very trivial at times with the questions we get worked up about. What bothers me is the people who are on the evolution versus creation side. Could it be possible that we serve a God who can use both processes to bring about life? Could God have used certain aspects of evolution to create? I am simply wanting to leave it out in the open and think outside of the box. Too much of the time we have people who think they have figured it all out and the truth is that no one has figured out science or religion. No one knows beyond this life or what lies ahead in the near future. Preachers can talk about the end times and talk about Jesus coming soon but in reality we don't know if He will come back or what exactly will happen until it occurs. I am believing with my faith that we will see Jesus come back and rescue us from ourselves but for now anything is in the realm of possibility. I am also entertained by those who wrestle God with logic. People will say that it doesn't make sense that this and that happened. For those people, I would say to not worry about it. I have a brilliant humanities teacher who I just ended a class with and he would use some awesome words of a man from ancient Greece and Rome. Basically, a man of logic from Greece was telling a man of faith that what he believed was illogical. The man of faith replied with "What does Greece have to do with Israel"(or something to that affect)? The man was saying "What does the world of logic have to do with world of religion or God?". I just find it amusing when you take two separate and different worlds and try to explain one with the other. Nothing will get accomplished and it only makes things more difficult and complicated and unresolved.
