| 3 | So ... time to do some of my own research, with no twitter distractions from the Twitter world :-) | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | Now I have been discussing things with religious folk on twitter, but I am getting out of my depths because I know nothing on the topic, and feel like I can not discuss with them on their level of knowledge. | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | So to educate my self, I have found that New Oxford Annotated Bible is the most used bible by theologians of many religions. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | I have also found references, although yet need to see their authenticity, on this fellow Nimrod ... who was claimed to be the first ruler / dictator of mankind. At a point where we all spoke 1 language. Clearly he did something wrong, my initial thoughts is that he, and we, at the time thought we needed 1 ruler ? | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | BTW, my beliefs at this point are: | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | *Maybe there is a God, maybe there was just a big bang that happened for no reason, I do not know ? | |
| 14 | - From a religious point of view, I have doubting Thomas syndrome. What happened to book of Thomas anyways ? | |
| 15 | -From a scientific, I need more proof, I do not feel we cam from nothing - it does not make logical sense to me even though I have read on quantum physics , but really something from nothing, whats the point and why ? | |
| 16 | * I believe that man has evolved, I believe that we developed a conscious as part of our evolution which was more advanced than other plants and animals on our earth, I believe with that conscious we were meant to be the guardians of all life on earth, I also know that if that is the case -> we are failing badly. And finally, I know, I would like some resolve for my own peace of mind at the very least. | |
| 17 | *I also believe there is something, whether you call it a big bang or God, that did create this thing we call the universe. I do not think we are that special that considering the universe is so large there is a God present in the "heavens" looking over us, maybe the creator just created and left us to our own devices. I mean for a teacher, as I think God is referred to, the best way to teach is to let the student learn by themselves, and just try to lead a little by example NOT by giving orders. | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | ||
| 20 | So ... | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | ||
| 23 | Questions before I begin to read which I would like answered during my learning, and these come about from My current understanding ? | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | * Why was Adan and Eve given 1 law: not to eat the apple, but Moses gave 10 commandements ? | |
| 26 | -Was it a law or suggestion ? | |
| 27 | -Was it because there was a snake/devil on the tree? | |
| 28 | -Was it for their protection so that the snake/devil did not bite and kill them / influence them ? | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | * How did God speak to them ? | |
| 31 | - Was it from above -> heaven ? | |
| 32 | - Was it from above -> their heads / minds ? | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | * Question I need to look into from science ? | |
| 35 | -when did consciousness come to be in humans ... because it has been found in animals that existed in humans ? | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | * Could the start of consciousness, coincide with Adam & Eve ? | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | * Could conscousness be the start of humans and hence us understanding our roles and responsibilites on earth, rather than laws given from God ? | |
| 40 | -Or were these laws given from above -> ours minds -> God ? | |
| 41 | -Is the law to be guardians of what we have around us ? | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | End for now |
