I know I haven't written in this blog very much lately, but I indeed have something to get off my chest, and I no longer care if people will judge me harshly for this because it is my own belief. And when you believe in something, nothing anyone can say will convince you otherwise.
So this belief pertains to religion and Christianity in particular. I believe in everything Christians do, except one piece of the bible in particular, which is supposedly the "most important" book according to all of my Christian friends. That book is Genesis. In my opinion, after reading the entire book of Genesis, none of it makes sense. I just can't believe that God created everything the way it is now in 6 days (took the 7th day to rest), which totally discredits every single scientific theory from plate tectonics to astrophysics to Darwin's theory of natural selection.
Over time, I've come to the conclusion that to believe blindly in only religion is ignorant, but also to believe only in science is also ignorant. You have to find your own medium that makes sense to you. So, for me, my medium as a Christian is to accept all other parts of the bible, which I do believe in, and to think of my own logical Genesis so to speak. Here is what I believe so far:
Eons ago, there was nothing but Heaven, God, and His angels. Eventually, after forever, God become discontent with nothing and so He took the tiniest fraction of His divine energy and through it into the empty space. And so, due to the laws of physics, this energy condensed from gravity and exploded, eventually creating stars, galaxies, and a universe. Over eons, this universe's energy essentially cooled down so much that it once again condensed and blew up, creating a whole new universe. This process continues on forever today.
While all this is happening within the universes, God sits in heaven similar to a programmer, constantly putting in new lines of code to shape our world, although each line of code takes an extremely long time to produce because God's time frames are much huger than ours on Earth. So, first, God wrote the codes to how energy condensed into matter. He then wrote codes to how that matter interacted to make atoms, and how those atoms made cells, how those cells made basic organisms, and it continued down the line all the way into today. Like I said before, His idea of time is much larger than ours, so what we may say is a million years, He may regard as a minute of typing. So this type of evolution would take extreme amounts of time in our sense, as it does in science.
I believe that with each time God wrote these codes for new universes time and time again, He refined them, attempting to perfect His creation. I'm not sure where we tie into this. A part of me thinks that we may just be another brick in the wall, but another part of me believes that we are actually His chosen people because He sent us Jesus Christ to die for our sins. I'm not positive in this area yet.
I apologize if this offends anybody, but at the same time I don't, because people should be accepting of anyone's beliefs and religions, and this belief isn't so radical and far off the mainstream as others. If you've read this, thank you.

You are growing up, my friend.
you know if you want to get into the Bible and how it relates to science then I suggest you read a book that just came out called Hidden Treasures in the Book of Job, I saw the author getting interviewed yesterday and the book seems very interesting
Somebody watched "The Matrix" too many times.. God writing code eh? mmhmm... Yeah man and he also had a few hotpockets after working so hard., ...ofcourse that was on the eighth day though and uh, well..didn't get published. Never made your "mainstream" perception of what our calendar year was.. wait,.. maybe it was the Mayan's.. yeah, I think the Mayan's had something to do with it. Death to the Illuminati! was that dramatic?... I apologize if it was, ..but wait, I don't at the same time. ;) jk.
Advice: Quit overANALyzing everything and realize that 'we are all different and all have our own beliefs.. it's why we're all called "Individuals." (paralysis of analysis)
One more thing. Um, didnt the Bible say that a thousand years to us, is like 'one' day to God? Yeah, I am pretty sure it did. So that sorta blows your whole 6 day thing outta the water. Just my opinion. Anyway, it made for a good read just the same. Thanks for sharing.. and remember,.. when times are tough, ..when things get harder and the light gets dim,.. Use the force Luke. Use the force. Wow, I gotta' go to bed.
Peace!
PS. The one little tiny thing that u are missing but somewhat believe in even though u say u don't.. on how he indeed "Did" create everything in 6 days, is what we Christians call ..well, I assume u know.. what's that word?? Oh yeah, FAITH. Dude. C'mon.. seriously? Wow. Anyway, keep the faith brother and good luck!
