Have We Lost the Art of Thinking? And Are You Thinking?

Is Evolution A Theory is all about thinking.  In my most recent blog post (June 18, 2018) I challenged you to think.  I posed 3 questions and hoped you thought about them and maybe more.

You and I find thinking a challenge.  We don’t want to do a lot of thinking.  No more that necessary.  Yeah, it takes work (and time)!   According to Scientific America the brain uses more energy when it is thinking hard (see article here).

We think all of the time but have we lost the art of thinking (several books about this)?  Sure, we think about all kinds of shallow things such as our wants without a problem:

  • What ice cream flavor do I think I want?
  • What TV program do I want to see?
  • What movie should we see?

We think of all kinds of “have to think” things and find them stressful:

  • My heater just broke, what do I need to do?
  • What car should I buy (or should I lease one)?
  • What type of car seat is safest for our baby?

But do we spend time thinking about the deep life issues such as:

  • Is the guy I am dating going to make a good father for my baby?
  • Does this man I am dating cherish me?  (TEST: Would he give up a sports game for me?)
  • Is evolution a realistic explanation of reality?

I think we all have a tendency to follow the “Easy” path.  We believe the expert, our friends, the advertising, the pictures, the talking heads, etc.

And there lies the problem with the Theory of Evolution.  Most people accept it without question for what ever reasons.  We don’t want to rock the boat by thinking and asking questions.  We are more interested in social media.

This is why I write Is Evolution A Theory blog.  To help people question evolution as I did while in engineering school.  I accepted the theory of evolution just like most people.  But as I studied the Laws of Science, I noticed many conflict and begin thinking.

May I challenge you to think about evolution?  See Is Evolution A Theory question page.  Could four (4) types of single cell organisms (with all of its DNA and complexity – click here) “evolve” from inorganic (rock, sand, etc.) matter?  Or ask your own questions.
