The Beginning: A Narrative

In the beginning, Joseph created the blog and a post. Or maybe he didn't. Maybe that's just one possible explanation. Science has recently claimed that upon analyzing the blog, it has found that the posts have actually been evolving from one to another. The first was a simple, few word post in a barbaric language. More recent posts include paragraphs and intelligent writing. In the future, Science expects posts to contain entire pages of writing in the language of the Intelligentsia. Theories as to how the first post came about are speculative. Popular scientists say that the first post came about randomly. It was mere chance and billions of years that allowed the first randomly created letters to randomly form together. As to how the blog came about, the ideas base around an explosion - caused by either tightly compacted blog-matter or the collision of gigantic membranous websites that float around in another dimension. Where that blog-matter, or where the websites, come from, is still up for question, or rather, is not questioned. But that is not Science's point; submitting that the first matter, or membrane, simply existed by some means, everything else could have evolved randomly from there.

There are however, some renegade posts on Joseph's blog. Against the advice of Science, some posts have claimed that Joseph created the blog. These posts claim to have come to know Joseph, and to have seen his name at the end of certain posts. Science quickly retaliated by reminding everyone that the posts are random assortments of randomly created matter, that nothing purposeful or intelligent occurred in the creation of the blog, or any of the posts. The idea of Joseph is just a placebo to quell the desire of posts to have a purpose in the blog.

The renegade's continue in their belief although they are faced with much ridicule. Once having seen the name of Joseph as a signature, the posts do not turn back from faith in him. The posts remind Science that if all matter is randomly created, and all posts random assortments of letters, then the posts of Science are no more intelligible then those of Joseph's followers. Also, Science's explanation leaves a great flaw. There is no beginning. Science claims that all posts are "natural," that at some point they will be deleted from the blog in order to save space - it is the way of the blog. Therefore, Science cannot reasonably maintain that some posts existed forever and were able to evolve into other posts; instead, Science must try and accept that at one time there was nothing, and then suddenly there was a blog - all on its own. All honest posts deny the idea, and thus Science, as has been said, avoids the question of the beginning. In Science, there is no First Blog.

Ultimately, what the posts of Science fail to realize, is that underneath all their objects of study is the same code of HTML that connects, and is the underlying existence of, everything. All posts, all aesthetics of the blog, are written in the language of HTML. And HTML is wholly subservient to Joseph. He is able to write within the posts, and on his blog in any fashion he pleases, and the HTML will work itself to make it happen. Science is looking horizontally and trying to explain posts from within the blog, without the whole picture. Science has failed to read and understand Joseph's post that lays out in detail how he created the blog, and how he wants to use it, and how much he loves each and every post. Science has failed to be reasonable. And honestly, who assigns a scientist to study the meaning of a blog? Why trust the word of Science to determine the origin of their object of study? It is not important for a reader to know what paper a book is printed on, or why the author wrote the book; a reader simply has to glean what meaning stands alone within the book's pages. Science may study how the blog works, but by its very nature it can never explain how the blog came to be, or why it exists. Reason allows only that the blog's creation have come from a source outside of the blog. Science, then, being concerned only with what is in the blog, can not find the Source of the blog. The sansculottes who look for Joseph outside of the blog are much more apt to discover those questions of creation and meaning. Science is not all-knowing, only Joseph is.
