What Goes on in the Bible? CHAPTER 10 The Government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion. (President John Adams) From the advent of the first historical empires, over 10,000 years have elapsed. We have long attempted to answer the dilemma of evil and its permutations. We have been lead to believe that it is a natural, if pernicious, part of life, something we each have to work out as we exist and evolve. We are made to think that evil comes into being because of the erstwhile movement of nature. We do not see the ramifications of this false contention. If we embody it, then we subliminally regard nature and its order as ontologically inferior. Nature is ignorant we think.

The Druids did not permit themselves the luxury of cutting a single living thing with a sharpened edge. Compare this to today’s savagery and carnage. In a sincere desire to discover the origins of evil and in a need to circumvent the drive, personally and collectively, we have turned to the philosophers and to the scientists and priests. For all their musings and pontification, the academic philosophers have come up relatively empty when providing clear understanding of this matter for all humanity. Science does not exalt the moral question to any intense degree. Scientists cannot even find consensus on the mysteries of the physical Earth. Orthodox geolo- gists have generally failed to account for anomalies pertaining to the origin of life, of the hominids, the later genus Homo, and the fossil record.

They advocated “Uniformitarianism” stating what they knew to be untrue, that geological and evolutionary changes take place over extremely long peri- ods of time and at very slow rates. The concept of the Ice Age does not come any- 65 Atlantis, Alien Visitation, and Genetic Manipulation
