Greetings…
Whoever said that the art of conversation is dead has never met my kid and her vast range of..of...I zoom out whenever she is talking folks. She can never go from point “A” to point “B” directly. NOooo, she has to go through all 26 letters of the alphabet to get there. Yesterday, it was science vs God -the creator…. Her vs my brother who seems to have switched from atheist to -almost- a hardcore believer.
This side was being defended by my brother who, as a kid, used to go to churches and double doggy dare God to kill him. And when God didn’t do so, he would come out of there with the conclusion that the big guy didn’t exist. The other side -science- was being championed by my kid who is a pseudo-scientist who claims there is a mathematical formula that we haven’t stumbled upon yet that explains the existence and creation of the Universe. Boy was it interesting when my bro was arguing the point about the dinosaurs and other fake news and my daughter was explaining why planes fly and how this was proof that there is nothing after death. Yes yes, it lasted about 2 hours back and forth, name calling and shit…. My brother bitching to me about how I was raising a Neo-Fascist atheist and how I was letting her be that knowing full well that the bible states pagans and cats will burn in hell for eternity. I told him it wasn’t my fault, the kid was studying to be a scientist and that his mother had dropped him more than once on his head when he was a baby and that’s why he was such a hillbilly who believed in the tooth fairy; oops, spoiler alert.
In the end, we parted ways with the promise that there would be a part II to this discussion where there would be a bible and holy water to prove the existence of a creator vs a mathematical formula and a choo-choo train to prove the expansion of the Universe…..Very exciting stuff folks….
I do love the coffee and Timbits
