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.".

@MALUSE - "M.-L." - Oh my ... Without re-reading what I wrote, above, I believe that I was referring to myself when I mentioned that I did not want anyone to think that I was some sort of unbelieving jackass. What that says is that I realize that many people believe that "unbelievers" (me) are jackasses for being unbelievers. It does not mention what they might or might not believe.
Some folks believe in one thing - and other people believe in other things. There are lots and lots of people in this world who so despise what others believe or do not believe that they shoot them, stab them, bomb them. So things go in our crazy world - yesterday and today, too.
"Aha - there is one of those crazy jackasses. Wipe him out. He is an unbeliever."
Some may think, "Get him. He's a brayer, not a prayer."
People. some of them, really do think like that.
No need to feel insulted unless I indicated that YOU are an unbelieving jackass. All things are possible, but I did not have YOU in mind when wrote those words. I was saying that I would not want people to think of ME in that regard.
That is what I wrote - and that is how I think both then and right now. -Gus-

This is an interesting article then Gus..I often wonder how we came to be and I too am not anti religious, but that is a very good theory about the winds blowing stuff here.
It makes sense to me and is very feasible in my mind too.
I wouldn't mind getting carried on the wind somewhere, but somewhere like the beach maybe not other planets right now

@TiarasOceanView - Thank you for your comment. I enjoy reading the religious stuff, too, for it often makes me think about how the religious thinking gels with that of the non-religious. There are very few things that could be said to be "boring" once a person begins to think about what was being said or written.
The beach would be good, by the way. Especially good if you brought your charcoal cooker and a filled ice chest along with you to the beach.
