Before I begin, I just want to say to you kids that these questions are not an attempt to disparage anyone’s beliefs. They are simply the questions rolling around in my head for which I have been unable to answer. Maybe you can. If so, leave a comment below. No snarkiness please.
- If the universe began with a big bang, where did the thing that banged came from?
- If the universe began with a big bang and there is no such thing as space, into what did the thing that banged reside?
- If God created Adam and Eve and incest is a sin, where did all the people come from?
- How can anyone who considers herself a Christian endorse capital punishment? The eye for an eye concept is Old Testament. Turn the other cheek is the Christian way.
- Can humanity survive in the future?
- Is a virus a living entity or simply a biochemical particle?
- Is it possible that viruses account for the diversity of species on Earth and possibly elsewhere?
- Where did the Y chromosome come from in the virgin birth of Jesus? I accept that some of you will say that God put it there, but God is organized and doesn’t appear to operate that way?
- Are aliens really visiting our planet or are they simply a reality created by individual humans?
- What is dark matter?
- Can humanity evolve beyond its animal nature?
- Would the world be a more peaceful place if it was matriarchal?
- How are creatures with small brains, such as crows, able to problem solve and use tools?
- How will global warming effect human migratory patterns?
- What are the odds that global warming and the resulting changes in weather patterns create another ice age in parts of the planet?
- How much damage do smart phones have on a human’s ability to interact with other humans face to face?
- Will virtual play rooms be the new addiction of the future?
- Why do some governments not see the benefit to a country in having a well-educated population?
- What will the future look like as more and more jobs are displaced by technology?
- Why do colors and music influence the way we feel?
- What are the gene sequences that impact our emotional traits?
- When will humans ever learn that it is impossible to legislate morality?
That’s it for now. I’ve got dozens more, but these questions among others convince me that the older I get the less I know.
What I do know is that I love my kids and you are all my kids.
