What do you think about the creation of the Earth?

I believe that the Earth was created by an accumulation of dust and other particles after the big
bang. The big bang was caused by a black hole absorbing another black hole in a previous
universe, which then caused a massive implosion, destroying that iteration of the universe, and
creating the universe we know today. This accumulation of particles took millions of years and
created a large mass of rock, which experienced changes in shape, size, and temperature. This is
far more likely than any god or superior being creating everything out of thin air.

Is hope a blessing or a curse? Do you believe people in today’s world have hope or not?
Whether hope is a blessing or a curse is entirely situational. It can be a blessing to help people be
motivated to achieve an attainable, however difficult, goal. However, it can also be a curse. If
someone if hopeful that something will happen, which never will, for example finding a relative
or friend who has been missing for years, they will be unable to come to terms with reality.
Certain people in today’s world have hope for the future, but much of this comes from denial, for
example Republicans denying global warming. Others have hope based on legitimate things such
as the younger generations’ care for the environment or the advancements of science. I believe
that this kind of hope is what the world needs more of, since denial based hope comes from a
dark place and people in denial can only make things worse for themselves.
