God and the Platypus
In the beginning there was man. That seems like a lofty statement, doesn't it? It is apparent that throughout the course of conscious human existence, people have looked for answers to questions that have ultimately eluded them. However it is in the humble opinion of this writer that one should look no further than the simple array of accidents in our everyday lives. In the beginning there wasn't man or people or anything. There were accidents, little accidents. One that bumped into another and another and so on until, billions of years later, a race of a species got this idea that they, out of anything that is everything, has a purpose to be here. The whole race isn't at fault here. Most of this kind of thinking was raised when religious folklore and dogmatic principles dove into answering the ever so eluding question "Where do we come from?" and the popular "What are we doing here?" Although there are many ways to define the creation of people, the theory of evolution has been the most accurate explanation of where we come from. Also, whereas creation stories can be a good place to obtain knowledge about the ancient mind they are merely links from the past to what we know now to be inherently tru
Another example of a figure in time that rocked the rhetorical boat can be best viewed in the Creation and Fall of Man. In this story the creation of man was described by a somewhat over controlling father figure who, frankly, just seemed bored. Picture this: here's this all knowing, all controlling, everlasting being that, one day, just up and goes, "Hey I'm feeling kind of lonely out here..." That doesn't really make a lot of sense. At least in the humble opinion of this writer, that seems far from plausible. However this point is made because of the illogical state that the subjects of the Creation and Fall of Man must deal with. Just imagine that Adam and Eve just "...heard the voice of God walking in the garden" and were told that all treasures of the world could be there's if they did not consume the apple in the garden (Genesis 3:8). Of course the wishes of the ever so powerful God were denied when Eve had that apple as a snack. Knowing that god is omnipotent is one thing, but it is human nature to test what we've been presented with. Eve could not sit idly just by believing that God was out there. She needed to test her hypothesis by eating the apple and seeing what happened. The end result was imperfection. In order for Eve to break the barrier that controlled her consciousness, she had to become imperfect.
