Probably getting lynched by his people. The first one with a crazy idea usually doesn't fare well. People need to get used to an idea before they accept it.

The person who drew this, possibly the oldest rock painting on earth, Australia, 40,000 years BP - Australian Cave paintings may be the oldest on the planet

Only the ducks are saved. The actual god is in constant communication with all ducks and visible to them all. It never communicates with any other species. The ducks are laughing the bills off at all the human theists.Was he saved ?

No matter how. But saved.Only the ducks are saved. The actual god is in constant communication with all ducks and visible to them all. It never communicates with any other species. The ducks are laughing the bills off at all the human theists.
Important is to get saved.
Sun-worshippers ?
And what about moon ?
Sun's wife ?
And why sun so hot ? and moon cold ?
Seems a bit obvious as to why one would be seen as having a greater influence on our ancestors than the other, given that the sun often enables us to survive and for plants to grow and nourish us, even if they might not have known the latter. They surely felt the heat of the sun so knew its worth. The last, erm, because one is an active star and the other just another planetary body formed by impacts?

Adam was the first Manifestation of God of the Adamic Cycle of religion, but there were many cycles of religion before the Adamic Cycle. Adam was not the first man. We know that because because man has been a species a lot longer than 6,000 years, about 200,000 years. God has always sent Manifestations so that means there were other cycles of religion during those 200,000 years, but no trace remains of the previous universal cycles of religion because that was before the art of writing was developed.

Atheists are animals (as are theists) so there is no difference

Man always remain unfulfilled. No matter how much, or what he has attained. Always look forward towards some higher goal.
Whereas, this is NOT the case in animals.

That is quite natural. Abdul-Baha was Bahaollah's son and all the prosperity and prestige that Abdul-Baha enjoyed was because of Bahaollah. So why would not Abdul-Baha term Bahaollah as the "Universal manifestation"? It is like Bush Jr. praising Bush Sr. And then Abdul-Baha's grandson praises both Bahaollah and Abdul-Baha. Who would not like to put his family on the pedastal? It just happened that Bahaollah's line petered out with Shoghi Effendi.

Civilization brings a sedentary lifestyle which is not particularly healthy, exercise returns us to a more active lifestyle as is enjoyed by most animals during the everyday fight for survival
I'm pretty sure most prokaryotes were atheists, though there might have been a few sun-worshipers in the bunch.
