pistolpete writes that he thinks this being (or these beings) are dead
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.
