The beginning is where it all starts. On this much we can agree. There is a moment in linear time when we each arrived. This is our beginning as a person. The physical reasons for our birth are identical; the decisions to engage in the physical act that produced us are as varied as we are. Some of them were conscious; offspring was part of the intent. Some of them went no further than the act itself; our arrival was a surprise to our parents.
There is now information “out there” that points to a specific and planned beginning for the human. It may be a challenge, an affront to what you have been told. It is another view that once adopted as a possibility – throws the door wide open for expansion of thought in many directions. The traditional stance on creation is polarized – we were either divinely created by a benevolent god or we naturally evolved from an ape. There is a missing link that causes a problem for both scenarios and faith is necessary.
This third possibility says that “in the beginning” man was made, yet in a lab and using the ape in combination with genetics from an advanced race – the one called “god”, “elohim”, “he who from the sky came”.
If true, then that would mean that both sides have been right all along. This is good news. Everyone can retain their dignity and belief system now. This was the piece to the puzzle we did not have. We have it now.
We are in the age of enlightenment. There are truths uncovered daily and sometimes it feels, hourly. We are about to discover where the pieces are, what they look like and why they’ve been hidden.
I love hearing stories of my childhood, even things that happened before I showed up. It puts my whole life and family in perspective. I get a better sense of who I am.
