The Inklings

What if evolution is true? Does modern brain research suggest that human intelligence is adapting to technology in a way that forever changes what it means to be human? If the next generation is using different parts and more of their brains, what does it mean for previous generations?
When the Bible says, "it is destined for man once to die," does that mean the body or the soul? If the soul lives forever, perhaps it would want to take another spin in another body, either for fun or guilt or adventure or fear. And if a soul could take another trip through life, would that really change what happened at the cross?
If a democracy is government by the people for the people and an empire is government by the leaders for the money, what does that make the US? And does it mean that one politician is as bad as any other, regardless of party affiliations? How long did it take for the Roman empire to fall, and are we following it's footsteps?
Is the climate really changing on a global scale? Does man have anything to do with it? Or are we just ants in a field whose impact is negligible and easily eliminated? If it can happen to the dinosaurs, why can't human history be erased as easily?
Somedays, homesickness finds it's way into every single breath. And all one really wants is another soul with which to share ideas about the deep things. Most of the time, home is the only place to do so without ridicule and judgement.
And the depth of your thinking overwhelms my brain sometimes--in a good way. You make me think in ways that were never presented to me in school, and that is part of why I love you so.
Know that this home misses you very much too.
