At last my first answers were in sight, they were now buried in the pages of all these books just waiting to be explained and learned by all of us who eagerly awaited explanations of our existence.
I can recall my Geography teacher as being old, very old, but at the same time she displayed demeanor of one much younger, she was very upright and walked as one with a purpose. The first paragraph of our class work book read as follows “In the beginning the world was a ball of burning gasses, which slowly cooled and over a period of millions of years settled and became habitable.” These words have stayed with me all the years, showing just how indelible they must have been.
Next up was science and biology class and once again a bombardment of information all aiming in the same direction, one substantiating the other, with no deviation. By now the Earth was ready for life, the seas had formed and the rivers were flowing, plants had started growing and the simplest of cells were beginning to form, and all of this through an initial massive explosion at the beginning of time.
Back then it was all so easy I was programmed not to question, and the “facts” all led down the same path. Our first class outing was the ultimate eye opener; all was laid bare to see; now there could be no doubts, and defiantly no question as to the truth, “seeing is obviously believing. “
