I do find it interesting the writers often write about things before they get invented, like space travel. 100 years ago, that was just a fantasy.mshatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308916014310536449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-12990678348013899022017-01-24T22:19:37.197-08:002017-01-24T22:19:37.197-08:00I laughed while saying "eew" and much ap...I laughed while saying "eew" and much appreciated the humor.<br /><br />To tell the truth, I think both are the correct answer. I think the spark of creation could as easily create the egg/embryo as it can the fully developed being. To me, the most amazing thing isn't "which came first," but how existence is possible at all.<br /><br />To quote a famous Chaos Theorist (Malcolm: Jurassic Park): "Life finds a way."<br /><br />Another of my favorite quotes - from Isaac Asimov, but I'm not sure - is "today's science fiction is tomorrow's science fact. And again, who knows if seeing something creative - man made or in nature - doesn't inspire creativity, or vice versa.<br /><br />I just accept that the world needs both, and removing art programs in any form from school is a disservice to future thinkers, innovators, and inventers. Science, creativity, and progress are all symbiotic. Nothing wrong with a little fantasy along the way.dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-51514160944447660452017-01-24T15:38:39.873-08:002017-01-24T15:38:39.873-08:00It is the end of the day and, right now, I can'...It is the end of the day and, right now, I can't get past stink bomb:) I think art and life go hand in hand. The sad part is that some art is really bad but people flock to see it anyway (think Kardashiass). We need art in our life and, from the caveman days, we need to express ourselves through art.

Then art will also reflect these times and artists incorporate it into their work. So, it goes both ways. Art inspires us and the world inspires us. There's lots of hope out there and beauty. We can't give up on it. Ie, I love the show Parks and Recreation. Leslie Knope goes through a brutal town hall where the citizens shred her. At the end, one of the leaving men says something really rude to her. Something like, "Hey Park Lady, stick it." ... along those lines. She says: Did you hear that? He called me Park Lady. So I decided I'm looking at life that way from now on.M Paxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096697282530998519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-44714666074264921212017-01-24T07:48:39.865-08:002017-01-24T07:48:39.865-08:00You know, I have wondered how much of science fict...You know, I have wondered how much of science fiction can soon drop the fiction part.Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-68640226180577005582017-01-24T07:47:24.842-08:002017-01-24T07:47:24.842-08:00Teen Titans Go can be so silly but my daughter als...Teen Titans Go can be so silly but my daughter also likes them lol! <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Life typically comes first to some extent, but when we get into the realms of the future, particularly in science fiction, then the art can inspire us to create things in the real world.Cherie Reichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16663147386014122939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-34449671031927445602017-01-24T05:32:45.622-08:002017-01-24T05:32:45.622-08:00You made me laugh!

Much of what we as humans do is an imitation, I think. There will always be those who come up with something original, though. Life itself is beautiful art and thus magnificent inspiration.Christine Rainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263694662585963900noreply@blogger.com
