What is humanity? How did we come to be? The very question of our origin sparks the very interest that gave us intelligence. It forces us to ask the questions of HOW and above all WHY. Some believe that humanity was created by a being greater than ourselves in any number of days they suggest. Others believe that humanity is the end result of many years of evolution. Each side has its own proofs and backup for their particular statement. There is a great amount of faith, and science involved in the explanation for how humans came to be and it appears that most people look at the past to find the answers to where we may be going. To me, I feel that where we have been reflects on where we are today, but does not decide the ultimate whereabouts of our future. Our past has been quite eventful according to ALL scientists and believers and the entire course of human history has displayed the potential humans have for both good, and evil. I think it is safe to say that there are beings greater than us out there and whether they chose to create us or not, our fate can still be changed by our own hands. It is in my belief that humans are not destined for anything. The destiny of mankind depends on what actions they make today and tomorrow. It cannot be written in stone. And if we truly have no control over our fates, then we are truly not sentient, but merely under the control of something that may or may not be sentient itself. There is something uncomfortable about thinking that ones fate is sealed and that no action no matter how drastic will make a difference.

This is the very first weblog for the day and to start things off, I will start nice and slow for the time being (also it is quite late). The question of humanity has made me wonder where we are truly going as a species. Here we are as humans, with the power to destroy ourselves and we constantly go from total destruction to peace. It seems that our journey is not yet complete because we have truly acheived neither. We've neither killed ourselves off completely, or reached total peace. Is it because of our many differences of oppinion, or is it just that as humans we are still too greedy to accept peace? We have come a long way and I do appreciate everything we have accomplished as a species. There is almost a sense of pride within me as a human. We have survived countless ages of war, constant years of trials and tribulations against our very own morals and yet we still manage to pull through, even if its just by a hair. Our species has a frightening potential to become many things and to do many things both good and bad. The weblogs to come will give people insight on what some of these options may be from my perspective. Perhaps some may even learn some tidbits of information from this weblog, and consider things they never thought possible.

This is the very first message on this Weblog
