Why I'm Not Too Smart

Today was a late start (School starts at 9:40 instead of 7:40). I woke up at 6, slide my "alarm bar" on my phone to the Dismiss option, and went back sleeping. I didn't even think of hitting snooze for some reason. I woke up later around 8:30, not knowing what day of the week it was or what time it was or anything of that nature. The sun was shining in my clean room. (That's right, you heard me...CLEAN.) I gave thanks, because I could tell it would be a beautiful day. And above all else..it was Thursday. The best day of school every week. (Thursdays are even days, so I have NO hard classes. Maybe we've been through this? Eh, whatever.)

I'm in 6th block right now, typing away. I'm starting to sound like your average "Look at me, I can write and be descriptive and smart" student, so I'll stop with the details and just explain the title: "Why I'm Not Too Smart."

I feel as if liberals (left-wing, democrat, what have you) are very smart. They are all intellectually sound and confident in their, well, smartness. But I've come to find that most of them stand for the things I despise...abortion, gay rights (as if they're not already in their rights), etc. (By the way, I reserve the right to express my views in this blog, with no intention of offending anyone. I just want to be honest.)

Maybe God made us this way. When we get too smart, we start believing our own ideas, like evolution, for example. Discovering things and analyzing them, giving lofty speeches, these are the ways in which we empower ourselves mentally. After being full of "the smart," we come up with ways to be number 1, so that no one stands beyond us or above us. Truth is, someone does stand above us, and He's the only reason we're allowed to think the way we do, even breathe.

I'm sure God appreciates intellectuals, always thinking, using their God-gifted brains. But no one is smarter than God. And by trying to convince ourselves that He's not there, or not relevant, or maybe just not listening, we're dumbing ourselves down big time. Most scientists will tell you the earth is millions of years old and that we are the product of plants and animals growing and changing overtime. And WE believe them, because they're just oh so smart. But if a two-year-old tried to explain the theory of evolution, it would probably sound something like this:

"There once was nothing. Just a big NOTHING. Then NOTHING exploded into SOMETHING and made THE WORLD. Then animals happened, and then there were PEOPLE. And that's what happened."

Does it really make any fucking sense? People take things that don't go together at all, and make them belief systems. The same goes for food, music, everything. Most of it was weird in the beginning, but then smart people started endorsing it, and it became completely normal. Fact. Is it weird that America was founded by Christians? Yep. Is God an interesting and weird mythological CONCEPT? Apparently.

Now picture this, coming from the mouth of a two-year-old:

"There once was nothing. Just GOD. Then GOD made THE WORLD. Then GOD made animals and then PEOPLE. And that's what happened."

It doesn't take a lifetime of research and "smartness" to say something that actually makes sense. The great truth, is that there are many children in the world who know more about life than the most acclaimed scientists in the world. And sadly, I don't see a trend starting.

God, this world is all yours. Help the few of us who are listening to change it.
