Evolution definitely makes sense, but we are not 100% sure humans are descendants of corals.
If thats the case it would take millions of years, which is how old the earth is according to carbon14 dating, which some people get all excited over bc they think it refutes all religions. However the first day (ever) could have lasted millions of years, or whatever unit would be appropriate for a period of time space when only light and separated "waters" exist.
Also if only the fittest survive, why are monkeys still around?
Anyway- the fact is that humans are unique from all other species on our planet. And consider the immensity and nature of this difference. We were blessed/cursed with something which makes us able to question what it is that enables us to question. This is a common thread of theism, I think, that we were created with extra attention.
In Abrahamic religions God made man, in his words, "in our image", suggesting a distinction from other creatures, and also a pre-human entity, that is hereto unidentified.
Sumerian Babylonian & Egyptian, Greek Persian and Roman Religion have a pantheon of "Gods", and have a more distinct commonality; they have very similar stories of conflict and violence between them, only with different names. They are in my opinion some of the others included in the "our" in "let us create man in our image"- a legion that has dominion on earth alongside the devil. They are considered god by those they have interbred with, as suggested by the Bible, ancient clay tablets and "Ancient Alien" theorists, along with others..
One clearly common thread is the great deluge throughout many religions.
we don't know what we don't know. One question answered produces more questions. "The more we learn the less we know".
And i don't know much about the native american account.
The Mayan Aztec religions seem to involve sacrifice to some half bird half reptile creature, which is seen in a lot of ancient lore as well. Oh yeah mayans said this is our last year.
Confucianism provides a great means of civil order, although I can't conclude its just a form of control.
Buddhism is likewise but they do venerate Buddha.
Hinduism has a million gods and I don't know much about these either. This can also be seen as a form of control. -__-
Is that bad (When not implimented by a defiled bloodline)? what's wrong about a society with boundaries?
Is it better to follow the motto Do what thou wilt, love under will?
Do humans have instincts that disagree with all religious dogma, or are we instilled with that notion unconsciously because it is of a form of control?
Christianity is unique Because it says that the messiah has come and died and resurrected, and will return again. It is not roman catholicism, which is unfortunately horrendous and a whole nother topic. It does not require a blood sacrifice or systematic ritual. It says to trust in the witnesses of Christ 2000 years ago and that God =Love. This could also be seen as a form of control.
Judaism and Islam still await the messiah.
What's fascinating: Jewish have a special connection to the early israelites and some are able to decode messages through hebrew texts. Others study the books of Kabbalah, aka the tree of life, that is mentioned in the Bible after the fall of man. (Not the tree of knowledge of good and evil), It was to be inaccessible to man from then on.
Islam is a religion formed from the descendants of Abrahams illegitimate son Ishmael. It also says the messiah can only return once every other religion is slayed.
Who knows man?
No disrespect, I want to know more, and I honestly hope these questions will somewhat be answered at the close of this year.
ANYWAY, YES. humans are not the most "fit" in existence.
There are other entities.
the term UFO is inappropriate.
