Root of all evil in humans

If myths reflect reality in any way, then, starting at the very beginning, let's look at the Garden of Eden story. Adam and Eve must have lived in the garden for quite a long time without any issues. Then they get tempted and get kicked out. Firstly, who really tempted them? I think, God is the one who did that by pointing out an apple tree that they had no difficulty ignoring before. Everyone knows that kids are tempted by stuff they are told not to do, and weren't Adam and Eve basically kids in their mentality back then? And if God gave humans free will, then is it right to punish them for exercising it? And do you really have free will if you are threatened with punishment? God is using some double standards here.  (Like when you are told, your body is your temple and you are in charge of it, but if you don't get a covid vaccine you'll lose your job, lose your house, become homeless and live in a tent.) Therefore distrust of authority and disobedience are in our genes, according to this myth.

Everyone agrees that if humans weren't so competitive and greedy the world would be a better place. Looking back to mythology, how did all that get started? By a contest between Cain and Abel. God encouraged them to prepare a meal, to compete with each other, and that caused the fight between the brothers, who lived happily and loved each other until God introduced competition. And then, instead of smiting Cain, whereby fixing the mistake, as would have been the right thing to do, God lets him go free to promote contests and teach the winning mindset. I bet all the rich capitalists and politicians are descendants of Cain. Definitely Putin, he must have a lot of Cain's genes. So we can blame God for inequities and the wars.

Looking at those two myths which were supposedly the foundation of human morality it looks as if God was responsible for making us such evil bastards. 

Your plants, your pets, even your food are reading your mind at all times

Your plants, pets, yogurt, salad you eat, the cells of your body read your mind at all times! The proof of that is described in detail in Cleve Backster's book Primary Perception. Cleve Backster began his research rather accidentally by attaching a polygraph to a dracaena plant, just for kicks and giggles. Cleve Backster was a polygraph expert. In a polygraph a tiny bit of electricity is passed through the electrodes, which are attached to each of the two fingers of a person. The polygraph measures changes in blood pressure, pulse, and respiration. So Cleve hooked up the electrodes to the leaves of the plant, and then he thought - what if I were to get a match and burn one of the leaves. The plant was 15 feet away when he thought that, but at the moment of him thinking it, the polygraph pen jerked up sharply – the plant was clearly terrified!

Is consciousness inside or outside?

There seem to be these choices:
1 - consciousness evolved along with life and needs living matter to function.
2 - consciousness is a property of all matter, existing in all particles.
3 - consciousness is a property of only certain particle.
4 - consciousness exists outside of matter, sort of like light, and when it encounters matter it illuminates it, as well as uses it and manipulates it to suit it's purposes.
      The simple single celled organisms divide. Assuming, a cell has a tiny soul, as it divides, the soul would either have to divide or to expand to envelope both cells. It appears to expand, because individual cells seem to know exactly what to do for the communal good. The amoebas, for instance, are able to gather together, to form a slug, and to crawl to another location, which would have been impossible for individual amoebas to do. The combined mind of the colony is able to communicate to each amoeba and to instruct it. Each amoeba is pretty stupid, it probably has an intelligence of a grain of sand. But a community of amoebas act much more intelligent than a pile of sand. The saying, "a whole is greater than the sum of it's parts" comes to mind. Just think: even if there was some sort of an instinct driving the amoebas to form a lump, how would each individual know where the gathering place is? And then how would each amoeba know in which direction to go? If they don't all move together as one the slug would fall apart. Then the amoebas specialize: some of them become the stem, and some the fruiting body that will produce seeds which will fly away in search of new places to live. I suppose, as life evolved, some communities of cells chose to stay together, attached for good, forming animals with bodies able to move much faster and further than slugs, as well as hunt.
      Did consciousness originate in a cell, or a community of cells, or was it present already in amino acids, DNA chains, water molecules?
      This might seem weird, but there was an experiment done with pinball machines back in the 70's which showed that the outcome was slightly influenced by the mind of the observer. To me it means a couple of things: that the mind of a living being extends way outside of that individual's body; and, possibly, that the so-called inanimate matter has to have some consciousness in order to react to the mind of an experimenter.

Science proves that plants have a mind

Shapeshifters could be walking among us

Amoebas are tiny sacks of watery liquid with thin membranes and as living things go they are completely and utterly brainless. However it doesn't stop them from being not only quite intelligent, but also real good team players.

Why make them in your image?

Why would God and his associates create men in “our image”?  Wouldn’t it be more fun to make some cool creatures like a huge blue caterpillar with each hair a fiber optics thread with a shiny eye on the end, with a pare of hands facing opposite directions, and bunch of feet in the middle, facing opposite directions so it could walk either way, with suction cups on the soles of its feet to walk on walls…

Genesis: 3, 5, 6: Events leading up to the flood

“When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married… “

“The Nephilim were on the earth in those days – and also afterward – when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.”

These paragraphs definitely prove that God didn’t come to earth alone, but had a team of assistants from his race who looked just like him. Humans were obviously genetically engineered using their genes and that’s why they were able to mate and have healthy and heroic sons. Animals can’t produce offspring unless they belong to the same species.  

GENESIS agrees with Big Bang theory: Chapter 1:

2  "And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep."
After the Big Bang in place of planets there was a huge cloud of atoms of helium and hydrogen floating around in the deep endless darkness of the void.
I find this detail interesting: "And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."
After some considerable time the atoms of helium and hydrogen clumped together making carbon, oxygen, and water molecules. Water was the first visible substance to form. Why is it saying specifically that the Spirit of God moved on the water, and not in the "darkness of the deep" as well? Does the Spirit of God need water molecules specifically, or would hydrogen atoms be sufficient to support its presence?

First intelligent life on Earh

First organized, intelligent life on Earth that ruled for 3 billion years was cyanobacteria. The fossils made by cyanobacteria from 3.5 billion years ago show remarkable beauty called stromatolites. These structures reached a few feet across. It manufactured the oxygen-rich atmosphere that allowed other life forms to evolve. Cyanobacteria is still alive today.

Does your religion of choice discount life experience?

Every major religion assures you that you should choose it and no other, because it is the one teaching the truth. Do you have a way of testing it? I propose one: No matter how benign the religion or a philosophy appears, if it discounts the present time, life and the earthly pleasures, and elevates some otherworldly place or experience, then the religion is false.

The first thought and the intelligence (god) particle

As we saw many experiments demonstrate, matter has consciousness just like the living beings. Water can distinguish between good and bad and react to it, it can remember things, and tiny particles of metal can organize themselves in an intelligent pattern. Is there such thing as an intelligence particle or god particle? A particle that either contains intelligence or is somehow connected to its source?

Intelligence of water and non-living matter

In my other posts I gave numerous examples of intelligence at work in simple organisms without any brain or nerves. In this post I'll go a step further and show you some indications of intelligence in traditionally non-living matter.

Smart slime

Physarum polycephalum

a single-celled critter that should be as dumb as slime on the bathtub, because that's all it is - a slime, can navigate through mazes better than a rat on steroids; it always finds the shortest and the fastest way to the food.

Is there animate and inanimate matter or are they the same?

Most scientists differentiate living matter from non-living and would insist that the molecules and other tiny particles are non-living. That makes as much sense as to say that if you take a bag of Legos and shake it for a billion years, eventually they'll fall into some functional shape of a living creature, which will jump out of the bag and bite off your arm.

Do you need a brain to think?

If you have a difficult decision to make and ask someone for advice, people usually tell you, "Follow your heart". The folk wisdom recognizes that a brain shouldn't be relied on in important matters. In fact, the scientists found recently, that a heart has a lot of nurons, even more than muscle tissue. The new approach to studying the heart as a brain is called neurocardiology. But the question I pose goes beyond even that. If a heart is a sort of a brain, it is still a brain. My question is: can there be thought without a brain of any kind? Can a brain impose more limitations on thinking, rather than promote it? Is a brain a cause of a 'closed mind'? Can 'thinking outside the box' mean to think outside one's brain?

Did humans really evolve from monkeys?

It may be that we didn't spontaneously evolve from monkeys, even though we are genetically related and look so similar.  Being a mammal and being related to other mammals doesn't have to mean that we evolved from one naturally and accidentally. Here are a number of facts that strongly suggest that we might have been genetically engineered or somehow tampered with:

My definition of intelligence

I guess I should make it clear what I mean by intelligence or thinking, when I speak of plants or animals. I do not mean instinct, where an animal does something automatically, like a bird building a nest, the way her grand-grand-grand-mother did. What I mean by intelligence is ability to react in a creative way to a given situation; to learn new things and to problem-solve. Let me give you a couple of examples:

I had a cat years ago, who figured out all by herself how to play fetch.

How intelligent is a single cell?

Let's look at an amoeba - a single-celled organism. Amoebas live in the water, they eat algae, bacterias, and whatever microscopic bits of dead plants and animals that float around. They eat by stretching out their shapeless body, surrounding the food and pulling it into themselves. The temporary limbs amoeba sticks out for grabbing food are called pseudopods (fake legs).

Is theory of evolution right or wrong?

I think, just like Newtonian physics, Darwin's theory of evolution breaks down when you get out of a certain range. Just like Einstein's theory of relativity was necessary when you got down to particles and started going with the speed of light, same with the theory of evolution - another theory is needed to go beyond the obvious, like breeding show dogs and strawberries the size of grapefruit.

The theory of evolution can't be applied to anything smaller than a virus. Can you apply it to life just below the conventionally accepted threshold of life? Can you apply it to, say, water, air, and other supposedly non-living matter?

I propose an extension to Darwin's theory of evolution. Call it a theory of pre-evolution. After all, in the beginning was nothing but clouds of helium and hydrogen, which compressed into different heavier molecules and made the world we live in. And those heavier molecules formed amino acids - the building blocks of life, we call them. But weren't the real building blocks atoms of hydrogen? And what sort of evolution caused hydrogen atoms to form life?

How am I qualified to start a church?

That could be your obvious question, and I don't blame you. Okay, first of all, my birthday adds up to 1, and my social security number adds up to 1, my mom, my daughter and I were all born on the same day, and god spoke to me and told me to start a church. So, is that enough credentials for now? After all, it's not like I'm asking for money or anything that crass. (Yes, I do have a "donate" button, but that doesn't count, since donations are strictly voluntary, and I'm not asking you to donate at all - the button just sits there for your convenience in case you had a sudden urge to donate.)
