Religion VS Genes

Where are we from? That is a question that I ask myself all the time. Its one that everyone asks themselves. Some ask it more than others, but at the end of the day we are all waiting for the answer. As time has passed, historians, scientists, doctors, mathematicians have all found answers to our questions, but to this important one no answer has popped up.

Dawkins gives important information towards this fact. It is interesting how he states everything so direct. He says that we are made up of genes and we are the "survial machines". "The replicators that have survived were the ones that built the survival machines." Pag 19. It is very interesting the way that he uses different key terms for a normal fact. Survival machine=human. We are the "survival machines". It is odd to start thinking of ourselves as machines, as if we were just things walking around, but in a way we are. We live, do the things we need to do and then die. Nobody knows what happens when we do, although I believe in heaven. So its not quite nice to think that we are just machines because they have no souls, and if there is no souls then who goes to heaven?

 There is a God that takes care of all these things. Its true that we are made up of genes, but those genes had to have an escense. And who created them? God.

Faith is an important part of my life, and it is the competition of science. People are making great discoveries and start placing religion aside. They say that there is not a logic explanation for a person to create everything and be the reason for our existence. But again, it isn't logical for there to be all of these explanations without an essence. Therefore, Dawkins is right that we are made up of  genes but they are not the explanation of our existence.
