what is real anymore...

Walking down a long, dark, narrow street; the only sound one would hear would be that of boots sloshing in the rain and that of hooves clopping on sidewalks. This was the scene of the early nineteenth century.

It was a time when British still had mark IV tanks roaming about trenches and Germans used Albatros D.III biplanes - World War 1. It was also around this time that there were many accusations being thrown about others claiming that they were witches and vampires

As for the British mark IV and the biplanes...I can attest to that. The alleged sorcery and blood digestion, however, I might have to pass on that one.

That was life back then and civilization back then didn't have the expertise of the denizens that of the fabled island, Atlantis. So, in all respect, what is real and what is fantasy anymore? What is real and what do we think is real? Do we just put our faith in scientists or do we just follow God?

Now that we think about it, is there such a thing as god...or gods...as we all know, Ancient Greeks put their faith in multiple gods. There's the love torn cynic who believes in Aphrodite; the drunk who believes in Dionysus; the general who believes in Athena; the pauper who believes in Hades and there's also the Cullen family whose members believe in Zeus.

What do we believe? Do we go along with the scientists' views claiming that the earth was created based on the big bang theory or do we go along with the faith of the lord telling us that he created the earth we live on and along with it, the greenery that we're all cutting down just so we have something to write on? Do we also go along with the scientists' views claiming that humans evolved from a monkey or do we just accept faith and play along with the old saying that god created man on the sixth day?

As it seems, it's harder to distinguish right from wrong and fact from fiction these days...what with modern technology, CG, special effects and what-nots. But, is it possible to discern the truth anymore?
