Hey guys,

Recently, I've been thinking a lot about life - how little we know, yet how confident scientists are. This has lead me to realize the following - the majority of scientists are incredibly ignorant people. I use the word 'majority' as there will obviously be exceptions. However generally, Scientists really need to realize that when it comes to the subject of life, they known as little as anyone else.

I recently heard a piece of information that really opened my eyes. Stretch out your arm and shave off the overlay of your middle fingernail. Now compare the size of the shaving to the rest of your arm. Your arm represents how long the Earth has been around. The shaving represents how long Humans have been on Earth. Hearing this information, it suddenly seems ludacris when I hear people claim, 'Nothing happens when you die'.

I am not a religious person. I was christened at a very young age, however none of my family have ever been strict Christians. I do however believe that it is possible that somewhere, there is a being more powerful than ourselves. This may not be a human (I don't understand the logic behind the presumption that 'God' is a man), it may just be energy. I just feel that this world is too damn perfect to be shrugged off as a result of a 'big bang'.

Going back to the start, we have been around for such little time. If we went back in time 500 years and mentioned 'electricity', it would sound ridiculous - as does the thought of afterlife. If we went forward in time 500 years, we may laugh at fossil fuels and global warming. The future is so unpredictable. I just can't understand the ignorance of people, presuming that from the little evidence they have right now, death is the end. We cannot know.

There's something to give a bit of thought next time you're laying in bed.
