In the Beginning

In the Beginning - Now then, I do not want anyone to think that I am anti-religious or some kind of unbelieving jackass, but I came upon an interesting article that described how people (and the rest of everything around here) came to be. Back when creation began (whatever creation might actually have been) stuff was here, there, and who knows where - most all of it was gazillions of light years ( miles and miles and miles) distant from where we are now located. As the article explained, "galactic" winds blew the created stuff here ( and everywhere else, too...), some of the dust and junk collected and became the earth and everything on, around, and in the earth, ( including us and all of the other critters, as well ). The other day, when the summer temperature outside hit 100 degrees (F), I was hoping that a little wind might start blowing once again - just to cool me down. After returning into our air-conditioned house once more, I read that earth-formation article. I then understood that I should be happy to do without that wind. After all, thought I, "If galactic wind can produce stars, planets and all of us critters, it would be best to NOT hope for winds outside the safety of our house. Why? "Gus, you would not last too long if you were to be blown onto the moon or over there onto little Pluto, or maybe even onto some red-hot star.".
