Into the Jungle

                When I finally finished Into the Jungle, I was overjoyed because as much as I love learning about new things science related, I couldn’t stand to read more and more about scientific facts and how evolution was brought to be. Don’t get me wrong, it was very interesting, but it just got really old after a while because it told about 9 different scientists and their different contributions to how evolution was first discovered.

                Some parts that I did like, was when it told the story of how the different scientist grew to love the topic. In some way, shape or form, each guy/girl didn’t want to be what they were either told they were going to be by their parent, or what they thought they were going to do in the beginning. But each one would take a different route and discover that they wanted to do something different and they didn’t let anything come in their way of what they wanted to do and how they wanted to contribute to the development of evolution.

                As I read, ive always been a little if-y on the idea of evolution because I was raised in a home when were we went to church and believed in a higher being, but the more I read, the more I started to question it. Now im not saying i have suddenly changed my way of thinking in that there is no beyond with a higher being than ourselves, but it does make me wonder, what really is out there and what is really true. These kinds of questions really puzzle me because there really is now way of ever knowing and that’s what always makes me think for hours on end. I really wish there was a way to really find out what there is to know because I believe it would make everything a lot easier to think about and comprehend rather than one person believing on one things and another believing in another and neither of them knowing what is actually true or not.

                Sorry, I kind of went on a little rant. It happens sometimes, its fine. I would recommend you read this book if science does interest you and if you really want to know who were the crazy people who first thought of this idea that would challenge everybodys way of thinking. After that, if you are a person who believes in God and want to know how Darwin was able to still keep his religion while doing all this research, I would suggest you read “Finding Darwin’s God”. I think that’s going to be one book that I read when I don’t have a thousand other books to read because I would like to know how Darwin was able to still be religious while making all these scientific discoveries.
