Was lost but now am found...
What have I been up to for the last week or so? Doing lots of crap, that
is what. Interspersed with the crap I have been thinking. Here are some
of my recent thoughts, but before you get totally lost in my thoughts,
you might want to check out the new "Crankine Column".
Biblical and Biological Argument for Conflict
In the beginning,
God created the heavens and the earth. You couldn't
find a better beginning to one of the world's most told stories. God
also created
Adam
and later
Eve. After
their exile from Eden, they had the wonderful job of populating the earth.
Now based on principles of biology we are already starting with a small
population and a limited gene pool.
Mutation
and death rate should have been rampant in the early years of Adam and
Eve's stay on earth. Significant number of acts of
inbreeding
should have occurred. Despite all of this, humanity continued to progress
for several thousand years more.
Until of course the great flood came. Of course it was up to
Noah and his Ark
that saved humanity and the many species of terrestrial animals. Of course
with Noah was his sons and their wife's. In biological terms this is known
as a
bottleneck
and is characterized by a
dramatic decrease
in the population size so that only a
small portion of the remaining gene pool
is still represented.
What does this all mean? We are just
redneck backwoods folk
stuck in a feud with each other. Face it, based on the Bible, we are related....we have
been inbreeding for thousands of years. Then any conflict is just an
extended family feud.
The reason why we have conflicts is because were such
rednecks
we lack the intelligence to resolve our issues in a civil
way. The world is going to hell in a hand
basket and I am just enjoy my view from lawn chair in
front of my mobile home.
Don't forget, tomorrow is National Pancake Day and free pancakes at
IHOP. Have a nice
day. :)
