Mankind God's creation! Isn't it so? (The Darwin's theory).

Simple questions on God and on humankind existence.

In times of spiritual crisis we look to a God for answers. But what if the God we are looking for, will never answer to our questions?

I have to admit that I have been doubtful of God existence since...ever. My soul has being deeply scourged by trying to answer a so troublesome question of: what if, never been there a God? A God to call upon in times of life's spiritual crisis!


I must say that I'm under the catholic denomination not by choice, but by imposing it on me since my birth. In an attempt to find the right answer of if there was a God, I had to give a more introspective look inside my own spirituality. But when I did it, I came out hand emptied, or at least I was more doubtful then before.

In truth, mankind needed and still needs a God, because of its helplessness towards a world full of unseen fears and uncertainties. That's why, it needed to rely on the faith of a God. The certainty of a God's faith, or multiple Gods' faith (was better to have an abundance of them, in times of scarcity they never knew when one was needed) to comfort and help humanity to sustain itself in a world full of dangers and doubts.

Indeed mankind from its birth, to keep its spirit and body survive the harsh reality of a selvage environment, it needed to nourish them with certainties by creating a supreme being capable to give reassurances (...and possibly with the touch of some miracles).

That's why God came to be.

After all the above reflexions, I knew I had to look in different directions if I wanted some serious answers to my own doubts. And besides, back then I knew that in my personal journey toward the truth. A truth that could had easily upset not only my defined world, but humanity's world too (as already this revelation had).

Of course, only the insanity of a questioning mind could have given more realistic answers. Answers on which many well-meant (religious) people could have easily rejected.

In the end, the only answer I came up with was science.

A not so lucrative prospect for my poor soul.

Indeed science had already all the answers that I needed, but my obstinate religiosity wanted to reject. Science was definitively the only way to go, if I wanted some answers to all of my uncertainties.

In the same time I knew that by using science to dispute the existence of God, I was also beginning to dispute God's creations, in particular the mankind creation. I never truly believed that mankind was a God's creation, but I had to quiet down the spiritual part of me which was kicking back at the idea of a world without a God.

After all, I was deeply indoctrinated in God's belief and it was very hard to reject the existence of God and the God's creations. As I said, I had to easy my fears down while I was embracing heretic concepts, or else I felt that I was condemning my Godless soul to an eternal damnation.



Charles Robert Darwin and his controversial theory on men's evolution.

Charles Robert Darwin, who was this guy? He was an English naturalist who devoted his life on studies in the evolution of all the species living on earth (humans included), through a process he called, "natural selection".

With the book, "On the Origin of Species" Charles Darwin introduced the theory that all the world species evolve over the course of generations through a process named, "natural selection".

Darwin's theory implied that the mankind had followed the same process of evolution as the rest of all earth species, Which meant, that God itself had nothing to do with man's creation, but humanity had a more humble origin.

Sad, but true!

Nowadays, most of us know that the birthplace of all humanity was Africa, and its forefathers were descendants from chimpanzees. In fact, there wasn't any divine's design on the creation of humankind, but it was just a random event that fortunately (or unfortunately) created humanity. Nonetheless, the creation-evolution debate goes on to this day.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Creation-evolution controversy.

The creation-evolution controversy (also termed the creation vs. evolution debate or the origins debate) is a recurring political dispute about the origins of the Earth, humanity, life, and the universe, between those who espouse the validity and superiority of a particular religiously-based creation myth and the scientific consensus, particularly in the field of evolutionary biology, but also in the fields of geology, palaeontology, thermodynamics, nuclear physics and cosmology.

This debate is most prevalent in generally conservative regions of the United States. There is little serious debate on the subject outside the United States. It is often portrayed as part of the culture wars. While the controversy has a long history, today it is mainly over what constitutes good science, with the politics of creationism primarily focusing on the teaching of creation and evolution in public education.

The debate also focuses on issues such as the definition of science (and of what constitutes scientific research and evidence), science education (and whether the teaching of the scientific consensus view should be 'balanced' by also teaching fringe theories), free speech, separation of Church and State, and theology (particularly how different Christian denominations interpret the Book of Genesis).

Within the scientific community and academia the level of support for evolution is essentially universal, while support for biblically-literal accounts or other creationist alternatives is very small among scientists, and virtually nonexistent among those in the relevant fields.

The debate is sometimes portrayed as being between science and religion. However, as the National Academy of Sciences states:
“ Today, many religious denominations accept that biological evolution has produced the diversity of living things over billions of years of Earth’s history. Many have issued statements observing that evolution and the tenets of their faiths are compatible. Scientists and theologians have written eloquently about their awe and wonder at the history of the universe and of life on this planet, explaining that they see no conflict between their faith in God and the evidence for evolution. Religious denominations that do not accept the occurrence of evolution tend to be those that believe in strictly literal interpretations of religious texts.

And in spite of all the above, I wanted to keep an open mind at the possibility of a, "God's mystery" which spurred the all creation together with the humankind. After all, I'm a God's imperfect creation with all of his weaknesses and in needing of some comforting from the Almighty (...and hopefully to have still a reservation in heaven ). Does it make sense to you?!?

Home sapiens, a few miles behind their real evolution.

Home sapiens's counter-evolution.

Today, I want to tell you a story about chimpanzees which I learned a long time ago while I was watching a PBS's documentary. This was a documentary on chimpanzees living in Africa, and the researchers on this documentary where trying to find similarities with us by watching these chimpanzees in action.

Chimps R Us.

One time, as I recall from the scenes of this documentary, a male dominant chimp quickly snagged from the arms of a female chimpanzee her newborn, and without paying any attention to the cries of the chimp mother, it gather together with a bunch of other male chimpanzees to feast on the body of the newborn chimp.

Now, that was really shocking when thinking that those primates are a part of our ancestor heritage. In spite of the fact, that several million years ago our ancestors branched off from the apes, we still share with them some violent characteristics which are genetically encoded, deep in our own genes.

When those human ancestors were walking on a young earth, those primitive humans probably did cannibalized on the weakest amongst them as did those apes in the documentary. On those remote times our ancestors did more than just cannibalism, they perpetrated more horrible crimes on the weakest of the people, for their insatiable taste of blood, and power.

You can say that's was in our past and now, now we are far better because we have evolved from our remote past. Today, only a few of us in our societies are capable of committing any criminal acts against the weakest part of humanity. We'll label those men as criminals, and we'll deal with them by isolating them as "bad elements" from the rest of the society with jail times. But, what about the rest of us, "the good elements" are we capable of committing horrendous acts against any other fellow human beings when we are put in particular situations.

I talking about human beings that have lived all their lives without committing any criminal intention, are they capable of committing bestial acts against their fellow human beings if, they are put in situations similar to the one that happened in the Du'a Khalil's case?

My point is, are we completely sure that any of us won't act as bloody heartless human being, if he's enforced in situations where he'll lose the total capacity of rational thinking. Will he, still be able to discern what it's right from what it's wrong when those malignant instincts, hidden deep inside hes subconsciousness will wake again under the pressure of aggression for power, dominance, money, religion, or whatever instigative motivations that in the end will act as a trigger in his own conscience by obfuscating its good moralities.

I'm not so sure about that! In all the probabilities, he as well all of us, we won't act any different than those men which committed that atrocious act on an innocent when ourselves are put in their same situation, because it is into our nature.



I bitterly believe we would, especially if we'll acts inside the comfort of a pack, like in a group of hunting animals, then our hidden animal instincts will implodes in all their ferociousness against any innocent victim, and not rationality whatsoever will stop us, thanks to those bestial instincts which are encoded deeply in our own genes, forever.

We are evolved intelligent beings with a dark site locked deep in a corner of our subconsciousness, and we are procrastinating the reality of what we really are, to the future generations.

Of course, to keep locked up those animal's instincts inside us, we have moralities. Nevertheless, moralities aren't enough for us be completely immune at those evil instincts. At any moment, they can surface transforming us in hideous monsters, unleashing all the violence we are capable of on other human beings, regardless of ours moralities.

Maybe in a couple of thousand years starting from now, we'll finally completely evolve from our past and present violences' history. Then, our societies in the future will really be free of any kind of violences and horrors, perpetrated in the name of false preconceptions, and beliefs.
