I Want To Sleep!


“Incidentally, there is of course no ‘architect’. The DNA instructions have been assembled by natural selection.” (pg 23) have you ever asked a science teacher if they believe in god? The most common answer is a no, ‘no architect’ no god… things were predisposed and naturally selected, as for the best survive, we are a prove of survival, though not for long in we destroy the world from global warming. I just came back from leadership, we did social service as something normal. Today however we did something completely random trying to save the world (unselfish off course) we planted 400 trees in a mountain to help with the deforestation and took part of a project to educate campers on how to save the rivers and lakes. We took a small step in the direction of reforesting the mountain we were acting like DNA “making proteins may seem a far cry from making a body, but it is the first small step in that direction.”(pg 23) I am a protein that helped and took a small step on to helping the world. Did I have a choice? No, is a part of being in leadership that we have to help others, but I did choose to join leadership because in my genes there is a need for overachievement. I am trying to study in the states therefore I need things on my application, did I have a choice? No, I would say more of pressure from family, who can’t seem to understand that “knowledge and wisdom you acquire during your life not one jot will be passed on to your children by genetic means.”(pg23) so this is a cry for help, to my parents who do not understand that I give all my energy on to pleasing them in my grades at school, that I have a need for overachievement for acceptance in my house. I am tired of a camping trip, full of bruises and falls yet I need to do my homework, and although I tried my mom is still angry at me for not doing my homework before the trip, but I did. She can’t seem to understand that I take more classes than English, although none help me express my thoughts. I still have one more thing to do, analyze the chapter and the book, because if do not then this writing was done in vain.

“They do not plan ahead. Genes just are, some genes more so than others, and that is all there is to it.”(pg 24). This quote somehow answers the question I did in the begging no science teacher believes in god because the things are just what they are humans are genetically arranged therefore are what they are and there is no afterlife, no planning just our bodies. I strongly disagree with what I just said, there is no reason for a science teacher to have no faith if science and god are two things that are separated genes may be, but the soul and the reason are another. Right now, my reason tells me to go to bed and eat something good, not rubber like meat, but my selfish gene tells me to keep writing. I can’t help to decide with reason to end this blog and go to bed.
