Risen Thoughts

Imagine a future hundreds or even thousands of years from now. Humanity’s journey of communication began with sign language, evolved into verbal and written forms, and progressed to long-distance communication through messengers, telegraphs, telephones, and now satellites that extend beyond Earth’s boundaries. What comes next? Communication devices are shrinking in size, and it may not be long before we can connect with others through microscopic implants—perhaps even embedded in our bodies (yes, think *Star Trek*). But what lies beyond this? What we often overlook is that the most powerful communication tool lies within us. Some scientists argue that human evolution has plateaued, suggesting that we’ve reached the peak of our development.  *"I've had to question the overall assumption that human evolution pretty much stopped at the time of the agricultural revolution,"* says Steven Pinker, the Harvard psychologist and language expert. I firmly believe this is not the cas...

This piece, written 32 years ago, offers a reflection on the enduring questions of human existence and the evolution of thought. I’ve decided to share it here, as it holds valuable insights that could otherwise be lost to time. Enjoy. From the dawn of civilization, humans have been compelled to ponder their own existence. Unable to answer this profound question, many turned to the idea of a supreme being. Though not the simplest answer, it became the most convincing way to explain the complexities of the universe. Science, of course, has always countered with its own evidence, but the irony is that the very paths that led humanity to believe in a higher power also led to scientific discoveries. Let’s take a step back. Human civilization began when people began to live in groups, forming societies. The development of language allowed for communication, and it was through these conversations that the idea of God likely took root.  As time passed, advancements such as the domesticatio...

Yes I have been quite busy laterly so haven't been able to write any new articles..Sorry to disappoint. Nevertheless I have been surfing though. And found this faboulous article on Noahs Ark. Whilst reading stories and holy books from different religions, I have found some uncanny resemblence to the stories. Its bollywood in reverse. One fact remains that Vedas and puranas came first, then Bible then other religious books. Please read the following account by: Gene D. Matlock, B.A., M.A. on such an account. "When I was a child, my parents were, for a while, members of a Fundamentalist Christian sect called The Nazarenes. It was not a fun church. I escaped from it at age twelve, just when puberty and interest in girls set in. Though they tried to make me stay in that church, Mom and Dad could not weaken my determination to leave it. However, I did enjoy a certain short song that all the Nazarene children had to learn by heart: Jesus Loves Me, This I know, for the Bible Tells Me...
