It has happened; we have come around in circles and now if you belief anything other than the Earth is the center of the Universe, that the sun rotates around the Earth and that it is actually flat; then you will go to hell. This is what the theory of creationism is telling us, well almost. In the USA it has become a huge political controversy and expect this way of thinking to come to a country near you.
This reminds me a bit about Douglas Adams’ book; Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe where he says there are no living things in the universe because and I quote: “It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, but that not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so if every planet in the universe has a population of zero, then the entire population of the universe must also be zero, and any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.”
Now people will belief the world is only 6000 years old because the Bible says it is? Is this what could be called blind faith? Then you get people that will say that you should not read it literally, but then will in the same breath quote another section of the Bible and say it is the only truth. So if you are a Christian, you must either take everything in the Bible as literal truth or you have to be judgmental to what was meant as the literal truth and what was a metaphor for something.
How is it that people will say; but the Bible says….and quote it ad-nauseam and never think about looking at the correctness of this source in detail? I once ask someone if he has done some research about the origins of the Bible, who wrote it and to my surprise he told me he had. Then he pulled out books for me to read to prove the Bible is real and not corrupted and all those books were written by Christian scholars and professors. Now really! Does he expect someone following the faith will truly research the Bible’s history and report inaccuracies? Does he expect these people will truly question things that don’t fit?
Isn’t it like asking a pharmaceutical company whether their products are potentially dangerous or poisonous to human consumption? Do you expect the pharmaceutical company to release reports to show harmful and potential side effects? Surely they will release all kinds of white papers to prove the benefits of the drug and leave the fine print somewhere to protect them against any legal action. Now the Bible, like all the other mind controlling religions around the world has the same hidden fine print. It is called mind programming from an early age. Not to question your “faith”, to blindly accept what you are told.
Not to long ago the same religions would have burnt you at the stake if you questioned them for saying the world is actually round or rotates around the sun. Now a museum has opened in Kentucky, USA to tell you that the world was created 6000 years ago in 6 days. The museum depicts dinosaurs alongside Adam and Eve and apparently even on Noah’s Ark! Now they just need to ad a flat Earth and depict how the Sun rotates around it and we will be back in the dark ages.
