God and the Origin of the Universe
I decided to look more into the "God and the Origin of the Universe" since it is challenging and ultimately a difficult question to answer if you don't understand why or how are existence took place. God cannot be found except only believed by faith. So why do so many people believe in something they never even saw?
Discuss three things I have learned:
Significant scientific information shows that earth did have a beginning and was never always here, known by the "Big Bang Theory." So there is a reliable argument and evidence the theory exists, now what about why and how would God exist? A interesting statement that I crossed while reading the article, "Creation was a supernatural event. That is, it took place outside the natural realm."(Big Bang Theory). So why can't the existence of a supernatural God be in existence? Everything that exists must have a cause.
Darwin is famous for his "Natural Selection theory," in which his research and studies show how dominant traits and characteristics keep the strong surviving and reproducing overtime. Studies have evened shown that Darwin was indeed correct with his theory now how would this effect the existence of God? The more I look into how evolution dates its existence all the way back to the "Big Bang," it can be easy to say that God is simply the main link or the event that took place the day evolution began. Maybe the word "God" is simply a word used to describe the event know one could ever explain.

Blog 1
Two Topics that interest me from our book;
1. God and the origin of the universe.
2. The Meaning of Life
Both topics interest me because both are questioned everyday throughout life and are never going to be answered except to ones own perspective or belief. God and the Origin of the Universe has become arguably the most controversial topic to date. It states in our book that, 56 percent of Americans say that religion plays a "very important" part in our lives (Rachels 10). Out this 56 percent how many different religions and beliefs come into play? I would also like to look in more of the evolution side of the topic and the arguments that go along with it. For example, Darwin's theories about evolution. As for the Meaning of Life, I would like to explore since it is probably the ultimate question of human mankind that has so many left out questions that I would like to put into my own perspective. For example, How did we get here? What are we supposed to do here? Where do I go when its all over? Maybe a better understanding of these perspectives can help better myself.
