Musing

This guy looks like Aladdin. He's entirely too aware of his own looks. He HAS to be the villain in SOMEBODY'S story.

Even if we don't understand it, there is science behind every interaction of all forms of matter. That means there is some form of MATH, some equation that gets solved, every time something happens. Because we don't understand the science, we make up stories about things. 

"Two hearts intertwined..." 

"It IS true! My sister's boyfriend's second cousin ate this girl's spaghetti and they've been together ever since!"

"Girl, I can't even talk to [insert astrological sign]! We just do NOT get along!"

Then, you have religion. Religion is codified spiritualism. Religion requires as much FAITH as science does. (What faith does science require? Faith that the math your field of study is based on is correct, for one.)

According to Wikipedia, "There are an estimated 10,000 distinct religions worldwide, though nearly all of them have regionally based, relatively small followings."

Atheist believe they're all false. Religionists believe 9,999 are false. Agnostics are waiting for a sign.

Whenever you start poking at the miracles and phenomena of any given religion from a scientific standpoint, the standard response from those adherents breaks down to, 'I don't know! Magic?'

There was a Tree of the Knowledge of Good & Bad and a Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden. Eve ate from that first tree. That changed her at a fundamental level. How? At first, she didn't know. Then, she did. 

1. What was the fruit?

2. What did it physically do to her brain to change her level of awareness? Serotonin? Amino acids? Dopamine? Nucleic acids?

3. Did their children inherit that change of awareness? In the millenia [Adam-930, Methuselah-969] following The Fruit Incident, humans cavorted with alien life forms ["fallen" angels], had enough hybrid kids by them to spark off legends & mythologies globally, and gave us The Uncanny Valley.

4. Did Noah have different dosage of that changed biology than his extended family?

5. What did that do to us, comparatively? Physically, mentally, and emotionally, how do modern humans compare to the humans who died before The Flood?

I know that I'm asking these questions as if that is established historical fact. But, it is established historical fact in the minds of MOST Christians and Jews. Why claim the mantle if you don't believe your own source material?

...and, no, I don't want a Bible Study. Just answers.
