Mythology:
A very interesting word, acting as the foundation for every culture around the world, acts as the first education for every child that is born. Remember, kids learn right from the minute they are born and their education begins first in the family before they go to the school, they learn from their parents, grandparents in the form of stories which are from these mythological archives. Each culture has its own mythology which conveys one message overall, there is only one god. Now let’s take a look at what different ideas are suggested by each of these myths and see some of the commonalties between them. Let me take the most widely spread myth, the creation from the GENESIS. It says god created everything day by day and man was created on the 6th day. In our earth a day can be calculated with 24hrs with night and day. This simple question rises in my mind. If at the first point there was no earth, how come they measured the day when earth was created, when light itself was created the second day, how come they came to a conclusion that the earth was created in the first day, when they didn’t even know how to measure a day ? hmmm… makes one think and leads to the next question, is the day mentioned in the GENESIS really refer to the 24hr unit or something else ?is there any other measuring system for a day? Science says when we travel in space our clocks go slower i.e. time slows down, thus a day in space can also be referred by some other reference point in space itself as to fixing some other star, instead of the sun, to calculate the new defined time scale, which can be on a 24 hr scale or some other scale. So the time scale for a day is altered in space. If that is possible, then does the day in genesis actually refer to the day scale given in the Hindu mythological time scale? Take a look for yourself what the Hindu mythology says for time and how they have different scales for time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu_units_of_measurement .So does the day in genesis is actually the one day of Brahma in the Hindu mythology. How many day units do the people following the culture of the Genesis know? So is evolution a detailed description of how god created things in all his 6 days till man, in the scale of 24 hrs?
Let’s go to some older cultures, Greek. Very much famous for its Greek God Zeus, portrayed as the god with lightning as his weapon, and the king of all the gods, who can be compared to the Hindu mythological god Indra, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indra, Ra - Egyptian Sun god, Surya dev in various other mythologies. Assuming that some of the mythological stories did take place, where a person did walk on water, children were born out of gods of wind, gods assisted in war, one major question stands in front of us, how on earth did all such things happen as the people at that times claimed to have happened. Was there a necessity to lie over such a small issue like that of a child birth in a society where incest was normal (remember there were only 1 man and 1 woman at the first and they did populate the earth. There are lot of evidences for practice if incest among various cultures. Interesting to find that now, incest is being frowned upon all over the world). Now I would like to introduce the next factor,”Language”. Language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What does the means through which people communicate got to do with gods?
Have we taken the word language for granted? What does language mean? You can find the definition of language according to wikipedia here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language . As one can see, it’s just a means to convey our thoughts. That means any organism which has a thought does communicate with others of its own kind in some cases other species as well (a dog wags its tail to show its enthusiasm to its master). From part 2 we came to know that every organism has its own opinion or thought, meaning we can conclude that every organism does communicate and even science supports it. Birds chirp, dogs bark, elephant trumpets and we humans talk. Of course there are communication losses, funny we experience communication loss in our day to day life with our colleagues, wives, which lead to lot of misunderstandings. Now increasing the borders, the loss increases when the language itself is different. We experience that as well when we are on a conference call with colleagues in Japan, Brazil and other countries. This is communication loss in our own species. Coming to communication loss in cross species between us and the animals, Dog gone mad and attacks master, long time rider attacked by his pet horse. Oops was there a communication loss here. How many times did we have to repeat to teach something to our pets, to do something which we want them to do and how many times have we been successful. When we were successful we have actually communicated our pet to do something we want and after a couple of times the pet has understood us and thus the initial loss stages were gone and now they do what we want when we ask them what to do. Most of the times our communication with these species were through signs or indications but how is that without any indication or sign a dog understands another dog and a cat understands another cat ? How is that we are able to do it only for a very few tasks like shake hands with a dog? Does it mean we don’t know how to talk the dog language or in similar case the bird language or the cat language?
The question now is, can trees talk? Is there a 100 % communication loss between us and the nature itself? The trees, the earth, the wind, fire, water. Don’t we understand what they are trying to tell us? Are we so stubborn that we locked our minds from listening to them? Both evolution and mythology suggest that we humans are the supreme predators. Has god really forgotten to give us the power to talk to nature or have we lost it? In the process of evolution have we really forgotten how to talk to nature?
Now don’t think that this is bullshit, don’t frown with these Q’s
No one on the earth can talk to nature. This is total stupidity, wild imagination, cracked up, is this guy nuts? Where is he going with all this?
Rather read the link below
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/topics/animal_eqs.php The link here is about animals sensing earthquakes or its predators even before seeing them with their visible eyes, in this case we have to give it to the animals, and they are faster than us. How many times have u experienced this in your lives? So can we say animals do understand nature and doesn’t this justify a talking tree or a talking bird depicted in the mythological stories, only for the fact that, the people who were involved actually knew how to communicate to nature. Doesn’t this justify how kids were born of wind, water, fire, only that these people knew how to turn these different elements on :). Now do we really know what language is? Will we be able to solve the current global warming just by asking nature, if we can re trigger our power to talk to them again?
Think about it and in the next part we will talk about how this could have been possible
