BEGINNINGS
Posted on July 17th, 2010 by Joseph
Our universe began with a violent Big Bang 13.75 billion years ago. Since then, violence has continued uninterrupted. Our planet, formed 4.56 billion years ago, is warmed by the nuclear explosions of hydrogen and helium gases that comprise our sun. Everyday all life forms struggle, often violently, to survive and reproduce. Day in and out, creatures exist, including us, by consuming other creatures. The violence present at our origins continues today unabated in innumerable forms and permeates all creatures including humanity and its institutions.
