fiction/Mythology/The theory of evolution
As a means of understanding the world through speculation and storytelling,
science fiction has antecedents back to mythology. Pantheism is the basis, or tree root, for origin of the species and Darwin’s tree of life.
Science fiction (abbreviated SF
or sci-fi with varying punctuation and case) is a broad genre of fiction that often involves speculations based on current
or future science or technology. Origin of
the Species, Charles Darwin, 1859.
Science fiction is largely based on writing entertainingly and rationally about
alternate possibilities in settings that are contrary to known reality. These
include:
1. A setting in the future, in alternative time lines, or in a historical past that contradicts known facts of history or the archeological record
2. A setting in outer space, on other worlds, or involving aliens
3. Stories that contradict known or
supposed laws of nature.
4. Stories that involve discovery or application of new scientific principles,
such as time travel or psionics, or new technology, such as nanotechnology, faster-than-light travel or robots, or of new and different political or social systems.
Exploring the consequences of such differences is the traditional purpose of
science fiction, making it a "literature of ideas".
Myth in general use is often interchangeable
with legend or allegory, but some scholars strictly distinguish the terms. The term has been used in English since the 19th
century. The newest edition of the OED distinguishes the meanings
1a. "A traditional story, typically involving supernatural beings or forces
or creatures, which embodies and provides an explanation, aetiology, or justification for something such as the early history
of a society, a religious belief or ritual, or a natural phenomenon", citing the
Westminster Review of 1830 as the first English attestation.[7]
1b. "As a mass noun: such stories collectively or as a genre." (1840)
2a. "A widespread but untrue or erroneous
story or belief". (1849)
2b. "A person or thing held in awe or generally referred to with near reverential
admiration on the basis of popularly repeated stories (whether real or fictitious)."
(1853)
2c. "A popular conception of a person or thing which exaggerates or idealizes
the truth." (1928)
The classicist G. S. Kirk thinks the distinction between myths and folktales
may be useful, but he argues that "the categorizing of tales as folktales, legends, and proper myths, simple and appealing
as it seems, can be seriously confusing". In particular, he rejects the idea "that
all myths are associated with religious beliefs, feelings or practices".
It is my hope and intent that others
will be able to make the same connections that I have. The theory of evolution has its root in Pantheism. It is a work of
science fiction based on the imagination of Charles Darwin. It was of course his hopes that future science would help answer
his questions of past events. This theory has had horrible side affects on the social and political world view of the nations.
Mainly, that people are animals with no inherent rights or values. The people are work mules for the elitist of the nation
and must be controlled or destroyed. Some examples of this control can be found in the educational system, birth control,
population control, abortion, sexual promiscuity, drugs and alcohol, disease control or release, war and genocide. It’s the concept that people behave like pets do. Give them their desires such as sex, drugs and food and
they will do whatever you say and follow you wherever you go. The ones that don’t, such as Kent Hovind, cage them up. You
don’t have to break the law today to be a lawbreaker. You only have to dissent and lead others to do the same. Biblical prophecy
is being fulfilled today before our eyes, yet many are still blind to it. Will you open your eyes and see the reality of our
world today and where it’s headed?
