"Who U?"

"Who U?" hahaha. A very familiar text or sms message. More often than not, people use this reply when one receives a message from a number not listed in his or her mobile's phonebook.

That was in the world of texting. Different people receiving the same message may differ in their reception of this type of a message. How about giving some serious flavor to this question. Who you or me really is ?

I am not referring to your name. Neither do I refer to your strengths and weaknesses, just like most questions in interviews. I want eveyone reading this piece to ponder upon as to who or how you and me are formed to be what is now called man.

The human race has tried to find answer to the question of who really man is. In fact, as mentioned in my previous blog, there was this Darwin's theory of evolution. It postulates that man evolved from monkeys or apes.

Of course, being a Christian, I do not buy that theory. It is such an absurd idea.

I remember a story told of Pastor Audie of Word International Ministries-Al Ain. It goes like this:

Child: "dad, how and where do we come from?"

Dad: "well son, we evolved from monkeys or apes."

This time the dad is relating to his son the theory of evolution. In most probability this man is not a Christian.

The child not satisfied with his dad's answer went to his mom and asked the same question, thus her mom replied.

Mom: "my son, the bible says that God created you and me. He took a dust, carefully and wonderfully formed, and finally breathed into it the breath of life and it became a living soul." (Gen 2:7)

Son: "are you sure mom? why did dad tell me that we came from apes?"

Mom: "ahh. (mom thinks for a few seconds). well son, he was just relating to you his lineage."

Hahaha. My wife almost fell to her seat laughing at this joke.

Now if you are confronted the question "who u?' what would be your answer? You have only two options here. If you are a Christian and believe in every word of the Holy Bible, your answer would be based on the biblical perspective.

Or if you believe your forefathers are hairy and lovers of banana, then you state the theory of evolution. Are you once an ape, moy?
