Mankind's Appetite

It never ceases to amaze me that there ever lingers an endless library of information being strewn about concerning all matters of mankind's endless hunger to obtain all knowing; carnal or spiritual knowledge.

With sciences running a tight race to prove or disprove everything in a methodical or mathematical equation, on over to the philosophical overviews abroad serving a massive buffet of spiritual teachings, these two subjects clearly span 10,000 years of creating debate, argument, even war, and finding a resolve appears to be unlikely.

As I sit here awestruck, and inspired by the two, it dawns on me that despite the delicacies concerning creationism and evolution, I've got to wonder; will there ever be a mutual resolve formed intelligently, whereby the two could simply agree we have not, will not, nor likely ever will systematically obtain all knowing wisdom, regardless or our individual or group efforts?

Whilst one group stands on the right pointing fingers screaming; Ha, you've traveled so far left, you don't know what's right!

Meanwhile, the group on the left returns fire, pointing and screaming back; Oh yeah, well you clowns have traveled so far right, you don't have anything left!

And still, for all that our intellectual growth has afforded us; we are quite possibly just as ignorant as ever, in coming to the realization, not any one person has yet to prove we will ever obtain the ultimate recipe in solving the complex mysteries associated to our existence.

Certainly, I can opinionate my relationship with Jesus Christ, and attempt to justify the perverse nature concerning my personal experiences, convictions, and beliefs, just as much as I can profess my underlying curiosities surrounding the complexities of science, and the tools made available to us to explore further by the brilliant minded individuals who's passions enabled them specific knowledge to produce such items; that many of us couldn't even begin to comprehend, outside the scope of enjoying the fact, that many of these tools work.

Meanwhile, as a student of life itself, what hope might I ever have in breeching the thresholds of understanding, knowledge, and glimpses of wisdom? When people throughout history have simply proven one thing; there's a balance to everything, a negative and a positive, and to push one, promotes response from the other. Coinciding with all laws; from Einstein's Theory Of Relativity, to Newton's Laws Of Motion, on down to biblical/spiritual
