Something about last Tuesday’s lecture that has made me very happy, was that we started talking about a question that I have always been asking myself, were does the universe come from and why is it constantly increasing?  I was glad to learn that it wasn’t actually some material that exploded in the Big Bang, but the universe itself!  I mean, it might not be really what happened, but it is a pretty good story, in which the observations fit and lead us to new sets of questions.  Some of my own questions were; is there something else outside the universe?  Who or what created it?  How far ago was the universe created? 

Now, I will talk about something completely different that we have discussed on Thursday; the difference between religion and science.  Is there a boundary between the two?  I unfortunately did not have the time in class to say what was on my mind, but here it is: I believe that people created religion in order to explain the questions that they did not have any answers to, so religion gave a purpose to their existence.  For instance, we did not know where we came from, so we invented a God who created Earth and its life in 7 days.  On the other side, science is based on observations and it proves what we can see.  People are refusing the theory of evolution maybe because they do not want to admit that science is proving to them where the humans actually came from.  Science is correcting the former theories of religion into different theories, which explain better the meaning of life since it is based on real observations.  So, religion might be a theory that science has proven to be wrong.
