Discussion thread of Origins
Have you ever pondered one day,one extremely rainy day, and your home, sitting at your window, watching all those raindrops fall onto tree leaves, or perhaps your glass window? Have you ever thought to yourself "where did this originate..how did life begin..where do i come from?
Though, there are many scientific theories as to how we came to be whom we are right now, a human being, there are also religious and cultural stories, myths and parables as to how we came to be. Religion , i believe is what also inspires our hypothesis on where we came from, where we were first born, and where we achieved those things in the past in which placed us where we are today.
For many examples..
Christians: Christians/Catholics have a story in the bible that describes that
the sacred hands of the almighty creator , God ,had created the first man from the dust of the earth. He had created
this man in his own image, and named him "ADAM"(meaning red earth). Thereafter, the Lord caused a deep sleep
to fall upon him, and while in an unconscious state took one of his ribs and closed back his flesh. With this rib, he
created woman, and presented her to Adam once he awoke.Adam named here "EVE"(meaning life). Thus being the
first man and woman?
Sciences/Philosphy: Scientists and philosephers believe one of the following
two..
-That human life originated in the middle of the continent of Africa. They believed that the world was originally flat,
and that all the countries and continents were connected together, instead of sepperated as they are now. They believe
that all human life was in one shade of color, and different groups of people spread around different areas of the
world, thus adapting to their surroundings. For example, darker tones for sunny hot areas. and lighter tones for
changing climates. This also effected body structure and facial structure.
-Another reason that they believe is that all human beings originated and evolved from apes. Fascinatingly evolved with many many many different faces to become what we are today.
As you can see, religions can sometimes effect our way of thinking of where we truly came from. I can not say for sure that i believe any of these examples. I try not to think of it. The mystery of how life and human life came to be in general will perhaps always be a mystery.
Please discuss, Where do you feel that we originated from? Is there a particular religion that you feel is more correct then the other?
Please discuss, this is important for me to know about this, since this would truly help a lot for a project i will be receiving to do from school very soon^.^
