Religion: A gift to the Apex Creation

Quite simply - for a while now I have been watching with interest Atheists, Agnostics and “Those of Religion” tear into each other showing little respect or sympathy for the other’s standing. It is sadly noticed that very little effort is made to open one’s mind to lines of reasonable opposing thought put forward and practise tolerance. It also seems that in addition to steadfastly defending their turf, many rely on a relatively focused skill area, strangely choosing to discount rather than explore the “other”, perceived improbable or unknown.

What is actually precisely known after all? Let’s consider the field of science which should consist of relatively solid understanding … or perhaps not? Modern science is battling today more than ever to define the very fabric of reality now that the quantum world has been unveiled. If this statement seems foreign to you then I suggest peruse articles on CERN, The Holographic Universe, String Theory, Parallel Universes, The Multiverse Theory  plus Quantum consciousness / entanglement. The brightest scientific minds, including Hawking and Dirac, could not truly explain “simple” concepts like gravity and dark matter and others are beginning to suggest that what we perceive reality to be – might just not be. There is a growing realisation that “consciousness” might influence the interaction with “matter”. 

“Let there be light” …. how fitting that this was the first creation in the Bible and also concluded by science to probably be in part the initial energy unleashed. Let’s bring in other mysterious fields like Reincarnation Theory – look at the extremely powerful documented evidence from children that remember past lives. Mediums and Forensic Psychics used over and over again by detectives to solve crimes – why? Because they don’t disappoint….

Enter “religion” in its many forms, created by man. Yes created by man as we, as God’s most loved and treasured creation, demanded it as a guide to our insistence that we be allowed to live and experience life as well as the right to enjoy the afterlife and ultimately earn the right to reside with Him. Could God then have possibly looked at this higher-level submission by man called “religion” and said: “this is (mostly) good” and then prepared for us the “House of many rooms”? The “Book of Mary” sees Jesus confirm that we experience many lives with the aim of enriching our souls until we are ready to be in the presence of God. It is likely that God aided mankind in the creation of the many religious forms through Quantum Entanglement – example being when Moses created the Ten Commandments truly “inspired” by God Himself.

Fossil remnants that we have been able to reconstruct proving Evolution not only show God’s creativeness but show that He also created shortcuts much like a computer programmer using “object orientated programing” techniques. In a Holographic two primary dimensional universe with supporting functional dimensions for instance – how difficult would it be for a Creator to “3D print” whatever He wanted? The failure with the theory of pure evolution without a Creator is that this model would rely solely on functionality as the main driver. What we see in everyday life is great beauty represented in most of the life on Earth suggesting intelligent design with care and infinite appreciation.

Lastly – what is living “wrongly”? To the Atheists out there – perhaps it’s time to rethink the manner in which you criticise religions and mock those that have dedicated their lives to their belief? I acknowledge that being “Bible-bashed” can be tedious but those who profess higher understanding should be able to respectfully also acknowledge free will. My admiration goes to those who follow and explore their life’s principles (whether that of a religious path or not) quietly and with their own convictions. But my condemnations go to those religious fringes that suppress or take life indiscriminately in the name of a constructed cause – a God that has created life with such profound care cannot support these actions. To this latter group I shudder to think of your consequence if the “classical conclusion” does exist and should your strict interpretation be wrong and unfoundedly merciless.

Remember:                 "Before Allaah created the creations,

He wrote a Book

'My Mercy has preceded my Anger,"

And that is written with Him over The Throne."

Just as our most learned physicists on the cutting edge of science today are willing to admit that there is a disturbing lack of solidity on the quantum mechanics front, so should we all perhaps be more accepting of the fact that in most walks of life “you don’t know what you don’t know”….?.

One day in the future hopefully we would have evolved and have the learned understanding and functional ability to give God, as well as one another, the respect we truly deserve.
