I can give you an explanation that explains God/s and the human condition. It is logical and supported by science, but I can not make you accept what I say.
Most of you will reject it because it challenges your comfortable illusion of a divine parent taking care of you.
I can even give the closest thing to actual divinity that we have, one that may even be conscious to some degree, but again most if you will reject the idea because you want to protect your own.
So for the purposes of this discussion try to empty your cup. Do not immediately get defensive, try to think about what I say as if you are a blank slate.
Imagine you are a in a natural state, before full consciousness. Your genetic intelligence, your instincts, the hard wired behavior that is passed down to you from your parents, determines how you operate.
Suddenly, you are conscious and you begin operating with nerve intelligence. Using your brain you start to make decisions on your own. Unfortunately your instincts, your genetic intelligence does not like that and tells you, that you are wrong, that you are not a good person. This makes you angry, you scream at the world, that you are a good person and you are going to prove it.
This makes it worse because now your instincts are telling you that you are bad for getting angry. This conflict between your genetic intelligence and your nerve intelligence is why humans are the way we are. We are angry and at war with ourselves. It is a psychological distress, a continuous cycle if anger hatred and guilt that causes us to do everything we can to prove ourselves wrong.
Ultimately when everything we try fails to fix how we feel, we become self destructive, hateful, violent or we avoid the issue through distractions.
On becoming conscious and determined to prove that we are good, we venture out into the world and realise that there is an order to things, a reverse entropy, a design into which we think we no longer fit.
We attribute this design to a higher intelligence, a divine parent. Then immediately believe ourselves to be unworthy of that parent as we are no longer part of the design. We cast ourselves out of Eden if you will.
This sets us up for more guilt, more self hate, more anger and the need to appease our divine parent with deeds and worship.
These internal conflicts are why selfishness, anger , hatred, conflict, violence , prejudice, exist in the world. It is what turned sex from something loving and beautiful into a shameful expression of the desire to kill innocence. It set up the conflict between man and women and created the need for god's. It is the root cause of the human condition.
However science has given us the answer , now that we know the reason we do the things we do. Now that we understand we are as subject to genetic memory as birds that fly north for the winter, we can relax, the war is over, we have a get out of jail free card.
Everything that you are fighting for, every thing that you do not like about yourself is caused by the internal conflict. Now that you understand the human condition there is no need to fight anymore. You can forgive yourself and everyone around you, because you understand why you/ they do what they do. Now you can get back to your natural state which is one of loving cooperation.
Where is the divine fit into all this? It is your conscience, the very thing you have been fighting with all this time.
Scientists discovered that by applying electricity to some base chemicals, they could make simple proteins, the building blocks of life. Making order out of chaos.
At some point in our distant past a similar thing probably hapened. Lightning literally sparked into being the basic building blocks of life. These early precursors were self organizing, capable of ever increasing complexity. Leading to the first genetic material and so on.
The earth on which we live is at its core basically a giant electric motor. Telluric currents run through the earth that can be measured at the earth's surface, like a heart beat.
Our brain has roughly 700 trillion connections. How many connections of conductive materials exist in the earth. How many connections exist between plants and the earth in which they grow. When you add to this the fact that the air is clearly conductive, how many animals are interacting with the electrical earth every day.
It is not a very large leap to think that this system has its own higher intelligence a sort of super consciousness. What if we are just the Earth experiencing itself?
I'll let you decide.
