I have always been interested in
how the world was made, and how human kind came to exist. I have always
known the religious answer, and only heard briefly about the evolution side of
things. The thing that I always question about the religious answer is, how
could it all be done in such a little time? Is God really that powerful? I
choose to talk a little about God even though this is world history, because
the debates have always been because of religion. Which brings me
to the history of the universe in the cosmic calendar. I think this calendar is a little confusing,
but it does explain clearly when everything happened. I like to think that each day that God “
created” was actually in a large number of years. We many never know, and maybe I shouldn’t keep
comparing the two, and just listen to the facts. For instance, proof of when human beings
first were on this Earth. They weren’t always
looking the way we look like now. There
is proof that there were different species, from Homo Habilis, to Homo Erectus,
to finally us Homo Sapiens. I find it
very interesting that we are the only species that survived.
One thing that I find confusion,
and always have actually is the dating system. BCE and CE, meaning before common era, and
common era. It is hard for me to remember dates in the first place, now I have
to remember a different system. The system
I remember is AD, and BC, which I knew as after Jesus’ death and before
Jesus. But I always questioned, how do
they know? I guess there are so many
ways to put it and I just have to learn the new way.
