There are 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament, and
many other books that were rejected from each for one reason or another, yet
not one was attributed to the hand of God, such as were the 10 commandments
said to have been.
Considering how many different religions
and bases for those religions there are it is someone of a singular mind that
believes there can be but one true creation theory.
Closing one’s mind to other possibilities means that a religious person
has decided that they, and they alone, has the knowledge of existence, of the
universe, and of man. Such a person would therefore be smarter than any other
being on earth as we as a species cannot fathom the knowledge of creation. It
is still beyond us, yet religious people have decided that they have found the
knowledge to determine from whence all things came.
It means they have studied all other possibilities, that they have
studied all creation theories and religions, delved into the mechanics of all
sciences and without doubt has found the one true answer, forsaking all others.
It is the inflexibility of those who have religious faith that has
caused more strife in this world than those whose mind is open to not just one
possibility, but all possibilities. I say all possibilities as we do not
possess the mental capacity to see the one true creation based on analysis of
all things, from all time and space.
Religious beliefs are man’s creation, our way to put into a
comprehensible form, something which we will perhaps never be able to
understand. Religious concepts of a God creator are part of the religious
mechanisms we humans use to define ourselves in context with the universe and
existence.
Just as the Prophet Muhammad founded the religion of, Islam many others
have founded religions based on their personal concepts of creation. Sikhism
for example, was founded by Guru Nanak in India
It is for that reason, that religion defining creation is suspect. It is
man’s creation and its Gods are creations of man.
Now, having said
that, never lose your faith, but always question it because once you have found
your god, you cease to grow.
I leave you with
this one thought from the Dalai Lama:
“When there is
peace among religions, there will be peace in the world.”
