Just to clarify a
little bit further, my musings about these intelligent Beings that
created life on earth and my belief that they are long gone----------
Are Not The Same as the “One” who Created Everything else.
That’s
another story of who that being is and where he is now.
But in regards to
the Beings that created life on earth and are long gone, this is why
I feel this way.
The DNA and RNA that
supposedly were responsible for life starting on earth---Were already
here to begin with. DNA is not some bumbling creation as compared to
the way “Some” life on earth was created.
DNA is a very
complex molecule that carries genetic instructions for the
development, functioning, growth and reproduction of all known
organisms and many viruses. Just taking the time to study it for a
few months elicits wonder and amazement.
Then you have RNA
which is another wonder and just as complex as DNA.
“The DNA molecule
has often been described as the most efficient information storage
system in the entire universe. The immensity of complex, coded and
precisely sequenced information written on the DNA is absolutely
staggering. The evidence speaks of intelligent, information-bearing
design”
These two complex
molecules were already here on earth.
And just like any
student who walks into his first year of Chemistry lab,
-------everything needed to experiment, gain knowledge, create new
substances, and pass the course is provided by the College. The
student doesn’t have to make Chemicals, Glassware, Scales, Safety
equipment, and etc., because those items have already been created by
other “Intelligent” life, and provided by the College to the
student wanting to experiment or learn.
I also don’t think
that the Intelligent Beings responsible for life on earth were the
same ones who created the Earth. Most people who believe that the
same one who created earth is the same one who created life on earth.
This is the result of believing in the God of the Bible who is said
to have created all things, so it their default position the ONE Being created all.
It’s very
difficult for people with this belief to consider other
possibilities.
Even though we see many examples here on our planet. They are
called projects. When a skyscraper is built, you have many minds
contributing to the project. An engineer, an Architect, a plumber,
electricians, and so forth all contribute to an immense project like
a skyscraper. Why would it be difficult “TO CONSIDER” the
Possibility that perhaps “Many” were involved in creating Life,
The Earth, and so on. All these Creators are working within the Platform
of “Already Created Items” that already exist.
Now let’s consider
just life on earth. As we examine life on earth, we see what seems to
be a lot of bumbling mistakes. An owner’s manual would have have
helped avoid billions of mistakes that have led to billions of years
of suffering by both humans and animals.
It doesn’t take a
lot of logic and knowledge as a creator to know that creating animals
that need meat to survive, like the lion will cause a lot of havoc
among the docile and tame animals. It also doesn’t take a lot of
knowledge from an omniscient creator to put fail save systems on
human birth that will prevent birth defects.
If everlasting life
was not meant to be,then a compassionate Creator would have created a
system in humans that would skip the old age effect. In other words
no losing your eyesight as you get older, no losing your hair, not
getting wrinkled as the years go by, not losing your physical
appearance or strength, as this is very demeaning to one’s mental
health.
Instead a
compassionate Creator would have made human life in such a way that
minimized pain and suffering up to the last day of life. In other
words, and internal clock set between 100-200 years as an example. Once that timer
hits-----then just an abrupt death without the suffering old age
brings. Just like a brand new car that suddenly stops after eight
years. Without the rust that eats away at the metal.
It seems like the
reason there were no owner’s manual for humanity was because the
creators didn’t know “fully” what they were doing.
Today we as humans
know better than to “create” some tool, like a vacuum cleaner and
not include an owner’s manual on how to use it efficiently and
safely. Only a complete moron would make some tool for sale without
any support from the maker. The only way this has happen today is
when a company makes some item and sell millions, then goes out of
business. No more support!
Perhaps this is why
there is no support for human life----those Being who created life
on earth are long gone.
