Siberian Tigers

I was watching Animal Planet yesterday and there was a documentary on Siberian Tigers. I’ve always been fascinated with big cats, and the Siberian Tiger has always been my favorite. These huge cats can weigh in excess of 800 pounds and reach a length of up to 11-12 feet. I think thats pretty amazing. Dont you think? I also think they are those most majestic and beautiful in the cat family.

Have you ever sat down to really think about how many animals we have pushed to the brink of extinction? I mean seriously sat down to think about it. I dont think many people do this. Im not sure why, but I’ve always been a advocate for animal conservation. It really makes me angry to know that there are people who are so cruel to animals. The blatant disregard for the right of these animals to live just gets on my nerves. Who are we to decide which animal deserves the right to live or die? Greed and plain ignorance have wiped out entire species of animals in just the past 100 years. If we are truly the ambassadors of this earth, dont we have the duty to save these and other magnificent creatures on this earth? All these mass extinctions are going to cause some big problems with the earth ecosystem in the next fifty to seventy five years. Our children will suffer from it if changes are not made NOW.

I would like to believe that we as human beings would have the sense to save our world and its inhabitants. Its our job. I would love my children to be able to experience seeing a live Tiger. I was able to meet a live tiger head on, but thats another story entirely.

I just want everyone to take time to reflect on it. We’ve destroyed so much in the past few decades. I think its time we gave back.

Creationism vs. Evolutionism

This was a recent topic on the forums I run, and decided to post my thoughts about it. Im a Catholic and I still practice my religion, but Im very open about ideas including science and technology.

I’ve read many articles using the bible to back up creationism. I am a catholic and I do believe that many of the events in the Bible did happen. I believe that people wrote down and documented events in the past. I also believe that people also learn from mistakes in the past. I dont see why we can’t use Historical Events to teach people something. The Bible is not only the world best seller, but it is also one of the most used books to help people teach morality. History and experiences teach people. Experiences are used to educate others. Thats why our parents try to teach us right from wrong. They’ve experienced things, and dont want us to make the same mistakes. At least thats what they are suppose to be for. Why not teach history to Christian Followers? Teach morals using important Historic Events.

Why the bible can’t be taken literally? It comes down to the simple fact that men often exaggerate things. Thoughout the history of time, men alter fact to what they believe is the truth. Remember, the Bible was written by men. Even if inspired by a higher power,a man is far from perferct. So the bible cannot be perfect. Unless the Creator himself threw the bible from the clouds and handwrote it himself, Im not buyin that the Bible is ALL truth.

This is why I still dont believe in this 6 days of creation. What if this is an exaggerated story? Exaggerated History? What if the Creator did set off evolution. Millions of years of change. The writers of the Bible wanted to exaggerate this and shorten Evolution to 6 days with the 7th day for the Creator to rest. They wanted to make it more of a MIRACLE! People always exaggerate things to make things bigger than it actually is. Why not the story of creation? Impossible? Illogical? I dont think so. Now I can accept the story of creation a bit more. So which is correct now? Evolutionism of Creationism? Both? haha. The Creator sparked the start of Evolution. Eventually, men and women walked the earth after several billion years and because their brains had advanced, he was able to inspire them to write a story about his creation of our universe. Could be? Bullshit?

Another reason I dont buy creationism is the simple fact that if man was made in the exact image of the creator, why would man need to evolve. I dont see any need to. Why would the survival of the fittest be needed. There would be no need for survival because we would ALL be made perfect. Created in the creators image. Think about it? If we were an exact image of the Creator would their be any need for change? Sharks have survived millions of years with no change. They evolved into a fish that no longer needed to change. The Perfect Ocean Predator.

Yet we human beings all have imperfections, both physically and mentally. Those imperfections are slowly eraticated with physical change in our genes and through learning. Physical changes occur in all creatures. If changes are not made, they die out. If humans do not advance, we do not survive. We’ve come up with methods of survival. Our brains have advanced. Our bodies have become stronger with medicine and suppliments. Technology! Evolution! THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPMENT! It exists! Its fact!

Google AdSense

I’ve been on the internet for over 4 years and the past few months I’ve really started to notice something. Ads. More specifically, google ads. There is this program called AdSense that is suppose to be a pay per click program. Well, it has caught fire. You see them everywhere. I’ve seen them on blogs, online forums, personal webpages, business sites, etc… The list goes on and on.

I’ve never really thought about checking it out until recently. Actually I’ve never clicked a google ad ever, so I was curious about results from this type of advertising. It seems that googling has become an artform. I’ve recently stumbled upon a site called Googlest. Supposedly, they will provide with keywords that will generate hundreds of dollars for a single click on a ad. Wouldn’t that be amazing. Im a skeptic so obviously Im not convinced, but after seeing the show about AdSense on G4 Tech TV, I decided to give it a whirl. Hell, if I can even generate $100 a month I’ll be more than happy. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Im just curious to know when companies like Yahoo will decide to come up with something similar to this in the future. Google has totally monopolized this business. I find it kinda funny when I visit a yahoo domain or a MSN built site with google ads on it. Google owns you!
