LeAnne brought me to shoot some arrows today~! She's really good, she has her own bow~!
My head tilted, which was wrong.
I managed to hit bullseyes before my arm got tired.. and my arrow got all over the place before no more strength to pull the string far enough. haha.
Another type of bow. This is much easier. Not sure if you have to rent this though... Archery is so fun~! Been wanted to try for a long time but did not know where... It's really fun~! Wanna go again. But it's not cheap also. Why is everything fun expensive??
I chanced upon the name "Richard Dawkins" when I read the comments in Sir David Attenborough's facebook group. They were talking about the hate mails received by Sir David Attenborough. People sent hate mails to Sir David for "not crediting God" in his documentaries (Sir David, of course, explained about evolution, instead of "God"). And one of the comments mentioned Richard Dawkins received even more hate mails.
I got curious and wiki for it. So, Mr Richard Dawkins is probably the best known atheist scientist in the world, and the author for various books, including his latest, The God Delusion.
I've longggg wondered how and why would people believe in the existence of "God". Finally, I've found a book that talks exactly about this. Almost immediately, I went and bought the book. It took me some time to finish the book, wasn't very easy for my level of English. But I finally finished reading it.
Him, along with Sir David, have now become the two person I respected most in the world.
The God Delusion should be read by everyone. I couldn't agree more with what was said in the book. See this video to get an idea of what Richard Dawkin is trying to tell the world.
I had thought Chinese are the most superstitious and religious ones (apart from Muslim). But actually, most Chinese will tell you "If you believe there's a God, then there's a God, if you don't believe there's a God, then there's no God". That to me is not a strong conviction about religion.
But in the United States, is a different case. You wouldn't believe how many people actually believe what is in the Bible is true, that God created Adam and Eve. They find it easier to believe that the world is only 6000 years old, and created by God in a few days, than "evolution" and that humans evolved from apes. That, to me is extremely unbelievable. They argued that evolution is just a "theory".
Evolution, is NOT "just a theory". By "theory", people usually refer to "guess". Evolution, is not just a guess. In the scientific world, "theory" in on top of the, what I called "logic chain" (like "food chain"). There are first and foremost, facts, facts which people observed. And with facts, come hypothesis. With hyposthesis and evidence, comes "theory". A theory is something that's proven based on evidence and something that can withstand the test of time.
I'm not the expert of course. To know more, read the book yourself. I'm sure, any religious people who believe in God will disagree with what was said about God in my blog. But what I suggest is, seriously, read the book.
