The world was without form, it had no shape, no substance or purpose. There was no light; there was no life, there was … nothing. The sun was not, the universe was not, there was nothing as we know it.
There were no believers, either true or false, as we understand them. Atheism did not exist, evolution did not exist, and nothing, as we understand nothing, was all there was.
Yet somehow everything came from that nothing. The world was formed, and light was created. The air we see in the cold morning breath was made, the birds of the air, the fish of the sea, the life of this earth became.
Are we truly to believe this was all a random act? How much harder it is to rationalize there is no God; than accept there must be.
Each of us must, at some point in our life, come to understand and accept our life and our role in that life. If we believe we are in complete control, how difficult it must be to accept death. Death may be postponed, delayed, put off, but it cannot be avoided. If there is not a controlling force why is that? Wouldn’t random chance mean at least some life forms would never die?

Ah, the illusion of control....flashy, tempting and yet there is
Reality 101, co-taught with Professor Time...
Every once in awhile the trappings of religion, the perversity of man and my own foolishness will kindle doubt in my heart. I have only to look at a starlit night to know differently.
