One Eyebrow Raised

How do people even begin writing about theology, let alone have a long-winded argument about it? And to see it appear on a current-issues magazine?... hmmm...surely didn't see that coming. I see numbers and technicalities all the time, that's what I do for a living. But religion and faith from an extremely scientific viewpoint such as this thing called 'specified complexity' and how thermodynamics & Einstein's relativity are used to prove (or not) God's existence completely lost me. The more I try to be intellectual, the harder I reckon it is. Sometimes it's better to just give up trying to understand and forget about it.

But what I cannot forget about is how The Star thought that it is part of the government's job to constantly go around making sure that every bloody corner is aedes free. As if the small number of enforcers have nothing better to do (unless of course, we pay more tax so that more civil servants can be hired). Why can't everyone just take care of his own backyard? If a grownup is incapable of doing so, he is unfit to be called a grownup. This is simple, basic civic consciousness, which, dismayingly our society lacks. And The Star was rubbing it in. Please editor, journalists.. use your brains...
