Way back when early Man had slowly begun to learn how to build an outside
shelter other than what a cave provided, he *learned* how to utilize the
available resources such as hay, mud, stone, wood, etc., then, metals..... and
now considering this, ask yourself this question..... were these things
learned, innate, inevitable and/or have we been assisted by someone of a higher
power and/or capability?
Is this *Progress*,
or Not?. The answer is Yes, and it means that we evolved, BUT it also
means we are not only alone, but we are (in nature that is). Now, without this
somewhat lengthy (speaking relatively, strictly of course) process, we
neither have evolution or creativity. As nice as it would be, this life wasn't
just put here in a devive beam of light by God, (altho, you could say that),
but rather, we are the product of millions of years of adapting & evolving
to an eve demanding environment that forces us to change and/or progress to
this *very* natural world of survivalism (I'm better than that).
Several thousand years ago, early civilization was living in a very small
world, AND it is important to remember that it wasn't *even* known that the
world was round. In one sense, religion is nothing more than *belief* which
is based only on a very basic knowledge of what was known at the time. To
compare what was known back then, from what is now, is all but absolutely
ludicrous. The only way to proceed from here is to revise, and the Bye Bull
shall always be for those who can *only* be, in the past (Real Realists).
Anyone can *believe* in God, but the problem is that as we outgrow all of the
many fairly tales & myths, and *learn* the various properties of matter &
laws of physics, we need to keep-in-mind where we are in the greater scheme
of things. *Those* who are so very far above us *know* that "we" can only
make-it-up as we go (along for the ride). While it's good to believe, it's
better to know, and *noone* of any greater power or ability would deny us that
(quite the contrary).
While we are
stuck (firmly) in the past, and are bound by these naturally dibilitating
limitations, we should begin to allow ourselves the right to believe in
something that's worth arguing about... For me, an Ungodly amount of Progress
has
been thoroughly accomplished by extremely highly evolved/developed
civilizations,,, of which, have been motivating & inspiring ourkind since our
ancestors fell out of the trees. Sadly for us, the monkey business that we are
currently involved in, has long since been left FAR behind.
Dealing with this fact, will require just about everything that we think we
know,
to be thoroughly revised. Translating the BuyBull is relatively easy,
because all you have to do is *realize* how easy people of those days were
influenced. The Word Of God perse, is nothing more than someone claiming to be
telling the truth as they believe it to be... anything else, is from the devil.
