Religion - is, above all, faith.Faith in something supernatural, incomprehensible, impossible from the point of view of scientific knowledge.It is a belief in a god or gods who govern our lives, are active participants or passive observers of what is happening on the ground, if not removed from our world.Religion - the eternal "paradox", which not only survives in our world, but is gaining new momentum.
As I recall, in philosophy, there are two main areas of ontology, which explains everything there is none: there is a spirit and matter, which are primary.The current generation does not read Marx and Engels, but who heard about this, surely would be able to bring this challenge to the two directions of philosophy - idealism and materialism.Yes, it would be rude to say that materialism - it is hard atheism and idealism necessarily implies religious outlook.Not at all.
two camps not only philosophers - all of humanity!The materialists, who believe that the primary matter, and everything that has any, created by natural astronomical, geochemical, biological and psychological processes that have brought us to the present, constitute one camp.Where went the countdown?Where is that marvelous mechanism that has started together with our history?And here is the explanation: the big bang - an incredible astronomical process and disaster that formed the universe and the material world.Perhaps ...
Some say that everything in God's hands.Closer to idealism, but as I said, is not necessary.God - is the creator, the creator.In medieval philosophy in continental Europe, this topic has been developed as well as possible, it puts forward the idea of creationism were established notions of time constraints.It is in Christianity.But such ideas exist in Islam and in Buddhism there ... between the religions of the main differences: philosophical, dogmatic and other differences.However, there is a common idea: the creator, who sees everything, gives life, he has reason for confidence, because there is no one above him!
Mythology ... Recall the Mayas, Aztecs, the state of Teotihuacan in Central America that existed many centuries before us.Their mythology can not be close to the mythology of the peoples of Europe, as the African religion can not be close to the ancient Indian philosophical view of the world.The reason for this - a long-standing disagreement putiey history of these peoples.And yet ... even in these mythologies have similarities: the limited time, the idea of doomsday.Is it an accident that the mythology and religions of many nations are intertwined in the main issues, however, differences in the different interpretations and trivia?For example, characters, events and time when they occurred?
And here begins ... XXI century.Mankind wanted to know where they went philosophical concepts.Pay attention to this similarity.And we decided that if we take these strings, it is possible to come to the source of our ideas about the universe, and then decide, finally, the question of what comes first.It's not easy.Very easy.Story carefully cover their tracks, but you can see many of the outlines of which we outline outline picture of the past, albeit vague, but encouraging.Ufology began to look into the sources of religious elements, confirming the theory of extraterrestrial intervention in the lives of our ancestors.Biblical stories, Mahabharata India, other texts of antiquity and the knowledge that passed devoted from generation to generation - they all say that humanity is at a stage in their development suddenly changed its course.
paleocontacts - it's just a theory.Let it imposed on the media as the truth, and is issued by historians of revisionism, there is no reason not to trust her, because it is based on the uncertainty of the historical process and the facts which can not be explained by history.Judge: a few centuries ago, there was alchemy, which in principle could not succeed (as parascience).But on the other hand, the knowledge accumulated by alchemists allowed after 60 years of the XIX century, be a science like chemistry!We spend just such a parallel: the study of ancient sources now - is it possible to pledge a new direction of thought, provable in the uncertain future.As people today believe in Darwin's theory, and then they will believe that extraterrestrial intervention on Earth was the place to be, that we are bearers of a unique DNA containing elements of extraterrestrial life, that the intervention of reasonable force caused the change history.
What is a Flood?Why write about it in the sources of various origins: different people describe the same thing, but under his own point of view.Some of the texts included in the Old Testament, the other - are gone.Why did the ancient Indians depicted the giant people, the ancient Egyptians portrayed the aircraft, and the people of Australia and Oceania still dress up in fancy costumes, similar to the spacesuits space travelers?Mmm?
existence of extraterrestrial forces that do not meet the religious ideas, but can not be attributed to the scientific picture of the world, make up the third camp, and quite significant.Religion is closely intertwined with the philosophy and the philosophy - science.These are all types of outlook.And have the right to exist.The question is how to prove.How to prove that Sakyamuni Buddha became enlightened and know the mysteries of the universe, sitting under a tree?How to prove that Christ was resurrected after his crucifixion?How to prove that Allah, not insanity, forced Muhammad to collect the entire Arab world under one roof religious?Nothing.Because if the Buddha lying, Christ would not have been the Son of God, and Muhammad would not be a prophet of God, the whole of human history, it turns out, it would be a great deception, and mankind would experience the greatest religious crisis.Billions of believers around the world have looked back into the past, to the sacrifices that they have brought in the name of their religion, but here ... it turned out that a few thousand years they have been deceived themselves and history!
What in this case is supported by faith?Unwillingness to crash or natural human need to believe in something?After all, it's true: a person believes, then it is, why live.Without faith man, as without a rod.Ancient people sitting in a cave, hungry, threw the meat of an animal killed in a fire sacrifice to the gods.The Indians killed thousands of people brutally treating their flesh to appease some of Huitzilopochtli.And the Greeks and Romans did not spare the best wine of the fact that Dionysus once again pleased sunrises winegrowers.It is not stupidity - this delightful phenomenon, for it is altruism, creates a special morality, defines a vector of life.It is called, and religion.
can believe in people - they are tangible.You can believe in things - we feel them.But how to believe in something that is not seen?Russell's Teapot - flying somewhere in outer space, but can not see it!This does not mean that it is not, - says the scientist with a sneer.Invisible Pink Unicorn or flying spaghetti monster pastafarianstve - is also nonsense, but that it "believe"!Yes, ironically, scientists are materialistic religion.They say they need to believe in what we do.We are the masters of their own destiny, nature workshop, and so on ... Bazarovschina and humanity ... After all, it has brought us to such a degree of technical and technological development!Yes?
Okay ... I started this conversation is not to answer the questions the way I think.I dont know.I can not know, and teach someone - even more so.My head - not the head of Berlioz, and I do not want to lose it under the wheels of a tram for that.You think for yourself, how would like to see the world, look at it carefully: You are a product of the spirit, or you are out of matter?Mmm?It is entertaining, especially if you understand how these thoughts are global.
