Somewhere, somehow, something

Somewhere, somehow, something started out of nothing from nowhere. We do not know what this something was or from where it came but that it came is undeniable. From this unknown something the universe was formed and expanded we believe. A universe so vast that we only guess that there are hundreds of billions of galaxies.

Amongst all these limitless galaxies there is ours. Perhaps in another galaxy far, far away some other life form calls our galaxy something different but to us it is the Milky Way. We guess though we cannot know for certain that there are a hundred billion stars in our galaxy Milky Way. A hundred billion stars in a galaxy within a Universe of hundreds of billions of galaxies. All from something from somewhere, somehow.

Within the hundred billion stars that are within the hundreds of billions of galaxies there is our star, which we call Sun, this we know. Billions of years ago long after something started from nothing, around this single star amongst the billions of stars within the billions of galaxies of stars, planets were captured by the Sun’s gravity and we call this the solar system. Amongst these planets there is one, which is blue, and we call this Earth.

How Earth came to be we are not exactly certain but that it is, of this we are certain. Over time the Earth formed and reformed colliding with countless objects amongst countless objects, which came from somewhere somehow. An atmosphere formed around the tumultuous Earth and somewhere somehow, we know not how, some form of life sprung into existence. Perhaps we believe or some believe while others know not, a single cell formed in some primordial ooze on Earth and from this life evolved.

The blue Earth revolves around the single star in the galaxy of a hundred billion stars in the universe of hundreds of billions of galaxies of stars. Somewhere, somehow something formed which was perhaps microscopic in size and from this unknown something over billions of years various life forms sprung to be. Evolving, adapting, dying off and new life being formed in a never-ending symphony of creativity and creation. The Universe expands and grows, stars and galaxies form and die planets collide and the Universe pulses with a rhythm set in motion by something, somewhere, somehow.

The creation evolves upon the blue planet until finally one night, life looks into the night and realizes for the first time “I AM”. Somewhere somehow something allowed life to understand “I AM” we do not know why but that “I AM” is indisputable.

As life evolved on the blue Earth creatures adapted, they grew thicker coats to protect themselves in times of cold and shed them in times of warmth. “I AM” evolved differently “I AM” did not adapt to his surroundings for his survival, “I AM” adapted the surroundings to his needs. “I AM” did not grow a thicker coat, he hunted the creatures of thicker coats and fashioned them to keep him warm. With a snare, a spear, an arrow, a gun “I AM” hunted upon the blue Earth.

“I AM” walked upon the blue Earth, then ran, then rode upon the other creatures, then the wheel, and carts and engines moving wheels upon tracks, then the automobile then “I AM” flew above the blue Earth like a bird until finally “I AM” soared into space like a god.

“I AM” did not migrate to find greener pastures for food, he planted seeds with a stick, a hoe, a plow, a tractor to create his own greener pastures upon the blue Earth. I AM did not roam in herds for protection, “I AM” gathered together in villages, in towns, in cities for protection and warmth and companionship.

“I AM” created great civilizations upon the blue Earth which grew and conquered and fell into dust only to rise again and again and again. Like a pulse upon the blue Earth these “I AM” civilizations inhale then exhale their spirit upon the Earth. Creating works of art, science and wondrous things for the next generation of “I AM” to build upon.

Somewhere, somehow, something sparked the light of understanding within “ I AM”. This spark which comes from we know not where or how allows, “I AM” to speak, to his fellows. Then write, then print, then cyber communicate instantaneously around the blue Earth which travels around Sun which is a star in a Milky Way Galaxy of a hundred billion stars in a universe of a hundreds of billions galaxies.

Somewhere, somehow, something started out of nothing from nowhere. We do not know what this something was or from where it came but that it came is undeniable.


Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

Job 37:14
