The study of Earth Sciences

I'll stop talking about my welfare plan for a while, diverting into a topic which i am majoring now.

The knowledge of Earth Sciences is underused globally (Eduardo de Mulder), despite its importance in ensuring the sustainability of the energy, mineral and other resources of this 'Blue Planet'. I came to know that, through scientific studies, the earth is 'created' about 4,650 Million Years Ago, and tonnes of processes occured within these many years.

Isaac Newton once said that "Yes, it is agreed that God created the world in 7 days, but we never know how long God's 1-day is". Hmmmm.....that's interesting! This was one of the reason why Illuminati was formed. Religion vs Science. And the dispute continues until today. Glad that there's no such disputes occuring in the Islamic theology & sciences.

Hamza Yusuf, in one of his academic lectures, said that there are differences between the words "Dunyaa" & "'Alam". Among them, he explained, that 'Dunyaa' is the world which people manifest, and got so in love into it, while ''Alam' is Allah's creation and a sign of Allah's existence. Hence, humans should be awed by the wonders of the 'Alam & get control of themselves towards fame & wealth of Dunyaa.

By studying the pattern of the changes of the world today, we could get a picture on how the earth was many many years ago, and anticipate events that might take place to this earth in years to come. One thing for sure that I really understand, and keeps me 'alive' in all the lectures, is that the world is not stable, and will collapse one day! Bits & pieces are falling over, 1 by 1....

wuuhuuu....thrilling & challenging. More to come!
