Creationism and Big Bang Theory

On my way to school the other night, I almost got hit by a speeding car trying to do a last-minute exit in Daly City. I lost control of my car for a moment and ended up almost hitting other cars. Before I made a complete spin, I was able to stop the car and managed to pull myself on the side of the freeway. I had a hard time absorbing the class lecture as I was still in a "shock mode," but I'm so glad I came out of that situation without injuries.
I finally got the textbook. I personally believe in Creationism so there are things suggested in the book that I do not agree with. I strongly believe that man and woman were created separately from animals and other living things. If that was the case, then the theory of how the monkeys evolved into human form just does not make sense to me. The gravitational force, the electromagnetism, the perfect position of Earth (being not too far from the sun and not too close as well), the rotation of the Earth and all the other planets, the human biological genetic code, etc. just seems too perfect and not a product of coincidence. In the Big Bang Theory, scientists believe that the universe had a beginning, but an explosion or an expansion happened afterwards. For me, it was a supernatural event. It was not an accident nor just a natural realm. There was a Creator and it was all well planned.
This is a World History class so the data regarding the sequence of events matters. What I'm not quite sure about is if I misread or if there's really a typographical error between "Snapshot" on page 13 and "Into Eurasia" on page 16. In "Snapshot," human migration started in Africa onto Eastern Asia, then Australia, Europe, etc. On the other hand, "Into Eurasia" stated that human migration started in Africa to the Middle East, Europe, then Asia. I am not good in geography, but I know that Middle East is in Western Asia (not Eastern). Eastern Asia is composed of China, Japan, Korea, etc. Even with the author's addition of Middle East, it still raises the other question of whether Europe is before Asia in terms of human migration. So is "Snapshot" correct or is "Into Eurasia" more accurate?
It is interesting to note that there were already separate cemeteries for dogs even on Paleolithic Era (p. 24). Hmmm... weren't they supposed to be still hunting animals for food during that time? I am not doubting what was presented as fact, but since the author did not provide his source, then I would like to assume that the information must be from cave drawings.
All in all, I gained knowledge from all the readings. I also developed an inquisitive character as I clamored for more facts. Humans came a long way from Paleolithic Era to Agricultural and Industrial Revolution. It's really good to know our past so we can move forward to a better future. We're a different generation, but somehow, there are values that we can still integrate into our lives like living a simpler life. Our ancestors wanted less so they needed less. With that in mind, I hope none of us would ever have to work 3 jobs again. I tried that long time ago and it's not worth it considering that it affects health and happiness.

An Accomplishment

I've set up my blog and updated my profile over 2 hours ago. It's now way past 3:00 AM and I'm still trying to familiarize myself with this blog. Nothing seemed complicated, but I just got stuck with trying to figure out how to change my display name, choosing the template and thinking what to write.
I am so glad there was an overflow of students from the other World History class. Originally, there was only 3 registered students for this particular class, and that raised my concern for a better group discussion. There's an immense workload up ahead, and I truly hope that we all survive. The topic last Monday night was very interesting. I still don't have a book yet, but I plan on acquiring one soon.
All in all, I consider this as an accomplishment. I may not have a full sleep, but I know that I'm in the right track pushing myself to do what I'm supposed to do. Sometimes, sacrifice is needed.
