An argument for God creating life (maybe) and UFOs
Copyright 2020, InterAmerica
My argument that extraterrestrials are not visiting Earth as
it’s a backwater planet, non-descript and puny could also apply to the idea
that God – a supreme omnipotent force that is the Universe or the creator of it
– would not – even though It could – create a planet like Earth, at the
outskirts of our galaxy, in a far-flung minuscule location in the vast seen or
unseen Universe. The idea lacks reason.
(I know my view expressed above lack all the theological or
metaphysical nuances that such a discussion requires, but I assume most of you
are surfeited with the philosophy and scientific arguments that pertain,
atheistical and theistical.)
The thinking of my Jesuitical teachers was that existence
exists in the mind of God and the past, present, and future are all occurring
at the same time – even some scientists accept the possibility of time
occurring simultaneously, all-at-once.
But for the sake of simplicity – no jokes please – let me
propose that a divine Being or Force or even physical process has created life
here on Earth and elsewhere. What would be the purpose for life on a pathetic
planet (objectively so) in no-man’s cosmos?
The whimsy of such a creation is obvious (to me).
But there is a divine out…
Mormons, if I remember the “theology” correctly, say there
are many gods and that humans who achieve an exalted life will become one after
they pass and that they will be responsible for a portion of the cosmos, and that
there is a god that controls and rules this planet upon which we live and
breathe.
I like the idea of many gods, and can accept that one may be
the force that created Earth and that another god, elsewhere in the cosmos, is
the supreme entity that is “in charge” of that existence.
Then I take it further. The god Earth was subject to, acted
barbarically toward humans, as ancient texts, especially Biblical texts,
indicated and that our god bemoaned, felt the guilt of its actions, and, as
Jung tells us in Answer to Job, sacrifices itself in the human
body of Christ, the holder of the divine spark, and allowed god to die, to
atone for its ungodly acts it allowed to befall its creation.
Unable to actually die, this god rises anew and ascends into
its “heavenly” abode only to actually die some short time after its mortifying
death on the cross and short-lived resurrection, and becoming the so-called
Holy Spirit, without any abilities to recreate its divine power(s).
That death of god would have taken place a few hundred years
(or sooner) after the Christ-death, from which Earth entered the Dark Ages.
Humans and this planet were on their own right up to now,
which accounts for the evils that are often attributed to god – the barbarity
of wars, disease (the Black Death et al.), and such tragedies as the
Armenian genocides and The Holocaust.
Mankind, without divine intervention ran amok, even more so
than when god was extant.
This obtuse scenario I’ve created here makes more sense to
me than the idea that the Almighty Spirit (Klaatu’s God) created this forlorn
planet, in this forlorn area of the cosmos.
This is why I’m hoping that when we get at a UFO, a real UFO
– sorry Zoam – that we get some kind of answer, if there are creatures in the
thing or other phenomenal information that leads us toward what this reality
is, and if anyone or anything has something to do with it.
This takes me to my next input here: fate and determinism.
(I’ve obviously had too much coffee and Boston Cream Pie
today, so forgive me.)
