Week 6: Truth Lies: Mendel, Code, and Evolution (post 2)

This film is talking about how we all believe silly stuff and it's all nonsense. We don't want to see the truth so we learn to adapt to what is lies and believing nonsense makes more sense. By doing so we block out the truth that is right in front of us all because we feel that believing nonsense makes life more easier to get through. It goes on to say that man would have to invent God even if he did not exist, just because we all want to life with a purpose and to prosper from what we make ourselves believe even if it is all lies and nonsense. It all blinds us from the truth because it has been around for ages to just believe in what isn't really there but we feel safe believing anyways. The film even quotes that Jack Nicholson was right and that we cannot handle the truth.

I believe that we cannot handle the truth and agree that Nicholson was right all along, no one wants to believe the truth because the truth hurts and many people don't want to be hurt they would rather ignore it and believe in something other than the truth to help them move on in life and living with lies is no better than living with the truth. I f people would learn to live and accept the truth we would all be better off believing in ourselves and our religions and all that makes us us. "The truth is that truth lies." Therefore, we all live in lies because the truth wont show itself to us it is all covered in lies and we are too afraid to search for the truth and it wont be found unless we dig deep and search for it.
