We were raised as Roman Catholic. I began studying archaeology / anthropology, and am fascinated by how we figured out shhhtuff in the past. The Mayans tracked the planet Venus for over 400 years. The Nazca lines in South America are no aliens, and no mystery. If you stand on the high hills on one end of the Nazca Valley, you can see what looks like a spider, with lines drawn through it. If you bother to spend enough time investigating and observing, you learn that the spider is what we call the constellation Orion. The lines through the spider are for Orion at different times of the year.

Whatever God did and created is not for us to say. He provided, some of us, with the brains to investigate and figure shhhtuff out. Hypothesis, theories, maybe, perhaps. Some things we know for sure. Take....say...gravity. Every where we go, on Earth, gravity generally works the same way. If I ever drop a hammer and it does not fall, I’m running for the hills (if I can).

Back to Archeology / Anthropology. When I first began studying, ‘they’ said humans came across the Bering Straight to Alaska about 10,000 years ago. I immediately knew that was probably wrong, but we just keep investigating and gathering more information.

We will keep being curious, keep investigating until God calls us home. Or maybe, just maybe, his plan is for some of us to reach for the stars, and visit the rest of his creations. Anyone who states they absolutely KNOW God’s plan, well, be careful. I have faith that God has a plan, and someday I just might learn more. After he calls me home, he just might say...”stay tuned” and I will be just fine with that too.

Love your thinking. It is brilliant, because it agrees with mine...

Not simply being sarcastic. Confirmation bias is a real thing.
