Because my BestManFriend Kimmy is in camp, and because I didn’t couldn’t find the mood to do another one, here’s last year’s Hari Raya dedication… for those who are new, who missed it, or for those who just wants to laugh a second time at our silliness :)

Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir Batin everyone! Please forgive me for all my sins towards any of you, and I pray everyone has had a blessed Ramadhan :) Now go out hooray-hooray whilst I fret about the amount I have to fork out this year since I am already working kwa kwa kwa…

I remember there was once a point of time where Darwin’s evolutionist theory was the in thing. Again and again, the media, be it through documentaries or reputable science magazines like National Geographic, kept bombarding viewers with so called ‘facts’ and ‘evidences’ that mankind is actually an aftermath of a long process of evolution from animal species.

I too do remember myself being slightly taken in by all the propaganda, because the Darwinists do seem to have credible information which support their theory. For example, they managed to retrieve a skull of a human/ape species (which, after years of being displayed in a museum, proved to be a well thought hoax, where someone actually glued pieces of a human and ape skull together and aged it artificially), and things to that effect.

At the back of my head, I was a tad apprehensive because Islam has taught me that man is man, and ape is ape. Since Adam, Allah has created humans from soil, just by saying “Be! And it will be!“, and therefore this understanding I had clashed with the Darwinists’.

However, being young and naive at that point of time, I questioned the rationale behind the creator, because… well… the supporters of the theory are all learned men who seemed to know what they’re talking about, aren’t they? (Astarfirullah… to think I had doubted *slaps forehead*)

As time passed, I just shelved the issue as I didn’t find it relevant to my life… until recently when I was reading up on all sorts of information about everything. It struck me then that the creation of the earth is the most relevant thing to my life, because it is from there that everything begun!

The question of the how us humans, the earth, and the infinite galaxies surrounding it came to be has long been debated by scientists and creationists. If the scientists could prove and recreate how all of the above came about, then it would sort of debunk the basis of religions all over the world; that God is the one who created everything, which is why we submit to Him.

I have been reading the news a lot these days and it’s rather depressing to know that the whole world seems to be in a dire state. Everything, from the economy to nature to politics, are seemingly on route to a meltdown in the not so distant future.

Economy wise, I think it’s rather apparent that the big players are in some sort of trouble due to the mortgage crisis in the US. Merrill Lynch has been bought over, Lehman Brothers has gone bankrupt, and AIG’s only life jacket seems to be a $85 billion loan from the central government.

If AIG were to file for bankruptcy too, I think we might have a major problem on our hands since AIG’s trillion dollar assets are so globally intertwined, and many banks are insured under them. So let’s keep our fingers crossed else Wall Street will further descent into chaos, much more as compared to the one they’re facing now due to Lehman’s bankruptcy.

Meanwhile, around the world Mother Nature has acted up a lot more then it used to. Every single day, I will come across news of an earthquake / tsunami / flood / landslide etc, in which hundreds or thousands of lives perish. No kidding man, every single bloody day!
