I am Not Getting Anything Done.
My boyfriend thinks I'm gross.
I love being a Piepgirl.
Peanut butter on sourdough rye was not the best choice.
The speaker I heard tonight got asked a really good question which he said was a really good question but then, in my opinion, evaded answering the most salient point. He was a speaker on faith and evolution (a cell biologist himself) and the question was, if we're descendents of apes, what does "in the image of God" mean? First he talked about how we are not the descendents of any animals alive today thus not decendents of apes but of creatures resembling our modern conception of apes. Fine to make the point but not answering the question. Then he talked about Thomas Aquinus and how he thought "the image of God" didn't mean God looked like a person but that we are made in the spiritual image of God. That is it is not a physical sort of thing but a metaphysical. Again I was fine with that and in fact probably agree. But he left it at that and I think the question goes further. If we are descended from ape-like creatures who are also the ancestors of today's great apes and if we are all descended from earlier mammals and on and on back to the first living cell, when did we start being in the image of God? And why are all the other beings who descended from that cell not? And what does being "in the image of God" mean to a single-celled organism or a lizard or whatever? It's ok if he doesn't have a good answer because that's a tricky one whichever way you look at it but it bothers me that he seemed to sidestep the question.
It's hot. But we're not on fire watch.
I Really don't want to study for this test. I'm not interested. That's not to say I'm not interested in the material. The material is fascinating. I just don't want to study and I just can't work myself up about it. What I want to do is turn on the tv and see if there's something awesome on. Like Girls Next Door. If you have not seen this show, it is about the girls living at the Playboy Mansion. I find this show awesome and fascinating because I cannot believe these people really live like this. I am absolutely enthralled by it. I am constantly agog that they actually exist. It is like looking at an alien planet. I do not even understand.
I think we may talk about boobs an abnormal amount in this apartment.
Masaccio! I was thinking about Florence today and I was trying to remember how to get to Hemingway's and I remembered you had to go kind of by the church with the famous fresco of Adam and Eve leaving Eden which everyone says is an early Renaissance masterpiece but which I think is weird looking and I couldn't remember who painted it. It was Masaccio.
Will try to study now. Or watch Girls Next Door.
