When I was 5, I looked out of the window, staring at the starry skies when I had wondered, where did we came from. I’d asked my mother, and that was when I was told of the story of the sperm and the egg, minus the detailed process of the orgy sex that might be involved in the production of me. You see, my parents are truthful creatures/ people. They’d never believed in the need to hide these real facts from their child (me). And so that answers why am I being rather well-versed in the sexual reproduction when even lecturers of medical faculty in Malaysia would have flinched at the topic of sex or anywhere close. And so there was no stork, no bees and birds (I’d never really understand what’s with the mechanical incompatibility between these two creatures with sex), or any celestial gates or turtle head, etc.
When I was young, it didn’t take a long time to understand that if parents give birth to children, there would be one convergent point when we looked back at the ancestry. And so, voila, there would be a need for a man and a woman on Earth. Therefore, at the age of 5, I’d deduced that someone must have created a man and a woman to start the propagation, amidst the couple having to be stuck to each other with no real choice. The me now would feel lucky to be living in the modern world.
And later on, as I’d picked up reading, there were lots of evidence reaffirming that. From all sorts of religion and culture and folklore, there must be a man and a woman. So, I might have well been as well as been a descendant of any Higher Order of Above eXisted, to know it so young in life.
If you think that’s true, you’re probably delusional.
The problem is, the explanation of the origin were really that simple, because men were the ones who created it. People like you and me. And people had only started writing and reading way after they were born, so it’s all in the speculation. We build our ideas upon the “evidence” accumulated through generation, which is culture. What we believed in may seem true may not be true after all, despite us not lying about it, and because we strongly believe in it. We once thought that the Sun revolves around us as well.
Let’s reexamine what would really happen if the theory holds true, just like how people would rather refute the theory of evolution totally because they think it is an insult to originate from the lower ends of primate level.
- Incest would have been really rampant. One man and a woman. Fine. And their children? Siblings incest. Subsequently cousins incest. And that is provided that we assume they are sound creatures, because when I’d put a pair of hamster together with their offspring, there would be father-mother, brother-sister, father- daughter, son-mother, grandfather- granddaughter, uncle-niece and henceforth. And if they would have been too civilized, there might even be brother- brother, sister-sister and those sorts of elements. I think you get the kinky picture by now. And so, we would have to conclude that incest must have been an acceptable practice, and perhaps should be accepted in the current culture.
Ewh….
However, I still think the best example to portray all these would be the Greek Gods mythology. I had no idea who’s who, so google each of them and get involved in the confusion. :P
- Your Higher Order Above eXisted, would have been belittled to be only just able to create a man and a woman. He must have been lacking in creativity to reproduce more, when He had all the resources to create the World in such a eccentric manner.
And theory goes on and on…
But you see, even researches were proven wrong from time to time. What makes a book written so long time ago to be that truthful? Can’t there be any revisions made, for example, like, the Higher Order Above eXisted created everything from a dot, or
two dots? When we question the question, the world would become hysterical, lost, confused, and bound to head to doom as prophesized. I feel that it would be the best clause in any scriptures to put at the last of the chapters, so that people would fear to question or doubt it.
And the confusion goes on, because one would think that the other must be mad bestowing to non-living statues, and the other must be deluded talking to some revised ancient text, or eccentric by kneeling down to the walls or a building far far off. The problem is there is always a lack of understanding of one another’s faith. Even in interfaith discussion, one would see the “champion” of each faith “trying” to understand the others, while championing the faith in pride and glory, and explained how others can do better for their very own faith.
But yet the irony, the faith of the closest origins would always be the ones at each other’s throat, centuries and millennia. Could there never be of any peaceful co-existence? Must the so-called “heaven” be divided as if countries, or just dividing walls, so that each would think that they are the only ones there, shall there be eternal peace.
Lamarck
What if the Theory of Evolution holds true partially if not totally? Charles Darwin Jr could be right, otherwise we would all be of the same faces and looks. Or perhaps Jean-Baptiste Lamarck could be right about his theory of acquired inheritance. Recent research has gave light to Lamarck’s theory in the form of epigenetics. Nothing holds true forever. Galileo was almost sentenced to death via the Roman Inquisition by justifying that the Earth revolves around the Sun. And olden faith denounced him because of that, proving that perhaps their ancient scriptures said otherwise, the Earth being the center of the universe, and everything revolves around the Earth. And modern astronomy proved that even the Sun wasn’t the center of the universe, being a tiny young star revolving around the center of the galaxy along other stars. And who knows, the theory of The Beginning may truly be written along the lines of
two dots, or She Bangs instead of the Big Bang?
It all began with....
Someone may thought of how to fly, but bear in mind that the Wilbur brothers were the ones who actually realizes it and that’s what really matters. You may think that some scholar thought of the Theory of Relativity, but Einstein realizes it (and also the nuclear bomb). But that does not make them truly right. In the future, who knows that e does not equals to mc square? The truth is, the world is there for us to explore. Why must we be bothered too much of people of different faith or race? Exploration serves no harm, and could not prove for or against any faith, hence, knowledge should be sought without any limitations (unless if it involves lives, of course, mind you) such as “because the Higher Order Above eXisted says so”. Ponder for a while, my readers, for this is an open question. There is no truth, there is no blasphemy. The answer lies within each and every one of you.
