“I always wonder why birds choose to stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on the earth, then I ask myself the same question.” – Harun Yahya
Adnan Oktar (born Ankara, 1956), also known by his pen name Harun Yahya, is advocate of Islamic creationism in the creation-evolution debate. He is considered to be the leading Muslim advocate of creationism.
I have wondered about many things in life. It includes creationism, economics and war. Many of the thoughts are posted in the blogs here. Recently, Ramana uncleji commented on my blog post – Free will and Fate.
Sitting quietly. doing nothing, spring comes and the grass grows by itself. Zen 
How often we looked at growing grass as the Zen saying states. I’ve a difference of opinion though. The growing grass does not do anything on the surface, but inside it, below the surface too there are a lot of things going on. Struggle of survival, isnt it?
The other thing I wonder a lot about is economics and our interdependence. I know many people do not consider economics as a play of interdependence however they see it has how do I improve my marginal utility. Most of the times this thinking of these smart people is based on “how do I… at the cost of other”. This needs to change. The discourse of economic value has to change. It needs to include everyone. If there is inequality we would not achieve peace.
On the debate of creationism and evolution – I wonder why people keep on fighting about creationism but accept – and use too – scientific discoveries? I liked the way The Buddha kept silent on the question of existence of God.
There are many more things I’ve wondered, why? The most regular point I cogitate is economics and spirituality – interdependent co-arising. This blog is an outcome of the same wandering of mind.
It was topic of Loose Bloggers Consortium for this Friday. Others who have written this week are – Shackman, Ramana Uncleji and Dunnasead.

I have often wondered why creationists are so afraid to admit evolution may simply ne the vehicle the creator used set things in motion. Of course once a conversation with a creationist begins it seems logic must give way completely and totally to faith.

Keep wondering. That is the way to progress on the path that will eventually enable you to see the grass grow by itself.

I very much appreciated the depth and thought of your blog. I am what I guess most people would call a semi-evollutionist-I believe what is in the Bible, but think we are pretty puny in this universe, and can’t have all the answers, which leaves a lot of room for everyone else’s beliefs. And for us to learn a lot in the future. Also thank you so much for mentioning me on your blog.
