This is **very** out of my comfort zone
But it’s bothering me so much
It’s making my brain hurt
But my brain is doing its own thing
And others might be in the same position as me
Others might be confused with me
But do I really care about other people’s opinions?
NOPE!

I’ve had a lot of questions in life
But these are the best ones
Genuine ones
Things that most people might never know the answers to
Today I went to church
For the first time in so long
I was kinda forced to
A friend was “peaing on my window”
And yes
I mean peaing like peas 🫛
But anyways
That’s not the point
The pastor was talking
Talking about how Jesus is the light of the world
I think
Or something along those lines
But I was sitting there
Listening
Then zoning out
Just thinking
About how the world began
And I started reading Genesis a while ago
And in science at school
I’ve learned about fossils and evolution and stuff like that
It made me think
If the bible says the world began with modern day animals and humans
How are they still around
And not extinct?
What happened to dinosaurs
And all those extinct animals?
They’re not in the bible
So where does it fit in?
Science and the bible are like 2 different puzzles
And if you take a puzzle piece from each one
They don’t fit together
Even if they do
They won’t make the right picture
I’ve always “believed” in God
But now that I think about it
I only did
Because my family does
Not even my whole family
Only half
And I feel like I’m stuck in the middle
The whole time at church today
I was trying to figure out
Where dinosaurs fit in with what was in the bible
It didn’t make sense to me at all
And I still have unanswered questions
Is God actually real?
How does any of this make any sense?
Do other people think about this?
How did the world really begin?
Why do people believe in God?
Is the bible just a big story book?
Is God like Santa and the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny?
Just a lie that people believe?
**Is God real?**
