The Circle of Life

It starts so innocently this circle of life Life with good times and times of strife A new beginning Screaming and kicking Then the age-old question “is there an afterlife?”

on a cross for you and I. The old Testament was written and the new testament proved what was written. How can nothing come from nothing. You ever wonder who breaks up the raindrops so you dont get a lake falling on you? Or what creates a beautiful rainbow. What tells the rainbow where to start and where it ends? Things to ponder my friend...

Tom has a good point Jack. Everything you see around you was made. The car, the house you live in. your pants, Your glasses if you wear them. Everything. So who made the most intricate life form? Trillions of cells doing their function. Who controls these cells. Your vision, your electrical thought process of thinking, your immune system? If everything is made and created by someone or something. The 100,000,000 question is who made us? I believe it was A God who came as man , and died

Profound, I must say! We all have our own thoughts on the subject! Whichever is correct will never be accepted or believed by others! Well written explanation according to many!!! Cheers

Mmmm always a tricky one, we came from nothing, how is that even possible, it defies all logic, even great scientific minds have no answers even Darwen and Hawkins put it down to the miraculous. Don't get dwelling on it too much, many have gone insane thinking about it.

For one I don't dwell on it, believe me! Although sometimes I do write about it. To be clear, I do not believe in the afterlife!

The ultimate question; myth, religion, science, all driven by that one too human a question. xomo
