The Big Bang Theory

The beginning of our universe, its quite scary to think about. I have so much trouble believing this Big Bang Theory of ours. I dont see how it is possible for something to start from nothing. Everything always starts from something. You dont get an infection without a bacteria entering your body. A brownie doesnt just show up out of nowhere, you have to make it out of something, even the ingredients come from something else. Even though it is said that the earth expands now and must have started out really small, doesnt mean that the earth was created from an explosion in space. There is no proof. So if something can't come from nothing, there must have been something there in the first place.

Mind Boggling

Wow.
            While listening i found myself agreeing with every point made. I thought it was incredibly interesting how they compared emotional and rational. With emotional, your brain puts together a picture story whereas with rational, the pictures are taken away. When someone gives you two scenarios and one is more violent sounding but only kills a few people and the other sounds less violent yet kills more people, your emotions are going to be triggered and you are going to want to save the few people that are killed. The scene is painted in your head as a bloody masacre. Therefore, you are going to feel more sympathy for those few people.

Writing Process

The writing process is a peculiar thing to think about. When i write, my process is very straight forward. I simply think of a topic or am given one, and sometimes i get stuck on the start, sometimes i don't. If I get stuck in the beginning of the writing, i will usually take a break from what I am doing for a short while and then once I have the brain going, the creativeness just starts flowing. I don't like to think very hard about what I am going to write next. I like to just put down what is on my mind at that moment. It seems to be much easier for me and much less stressful. Now sometimes it is tough for me to write down exactly what comes to mind at the moment, but that is only because I am thinking too hard about the subject. I believe that people should practice writing down what they are thinking right then and there instead of thinking too much about what should be on the paper. It really can help someone with their writing blocks and it is a good step to becoming a wonderful and talented writer.
