I think that if people are "allowed" to probe the origins, follow the history so far as it's written and work out the shortcomings, they might, just might start to question the ultimate objective of those who won't "allow" any of the above three points.

 

If people get away from blindly accepting what they're told to believe, we might, just might begin to put an end to the lunacy going on in the World today.

 

When people believe that the Universe was created after the World was created and all the creation was glibly covered in a few sentences, you really do have to ask yourself what Planet those people are from.

 

If the World (and the Universe) is only 6,000 years old, god must have stratified all the rock, put the fossils in the ground and somehow manipulated the light coming from far, far distant Galaxies to make it look like the light took billions of years to get here?

 

There is a way to twist the six days so that they more or less agree with the age of the Universe but doing that forgets that the Earth isn't as old as the Universe, believers might like to think that the Earth was created first by saying that In the beginning, (the first day) god created the heaven and the earth.... then saying Let there be light, and there was light (the second and third day was spent creating the waters, trees, plants) but for the fourth day they're saying that god made two great lights, the greater light for the day and the lesser light for the night and the stars..... That's saying that the stars were created after the Earth?

 

If people spent a bit longer seeking out what was actually written and who wrote it (NOT who was supposed to have said it) and worked out that blindly accepting something was wrong, the people of the World might well be spared the idiocy of fighting over some greatly flawed ideology.



It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
