God, this is my kind of guild xd

The first forms of religion began in hunter-gather societies. At that time it was simply a creative appreciation of nature. The people, having minds and thoughts, placed similar minds and thoughts into the earth around them, anthropomorphizing them. They believed all things had spirits; rocks, trees, water, whatever. Originally just an abstract thought, it changed dramatically when they found themselves in need of certain things from the spirits. They would pray to the trees when they needed fruit, beg the river to overflow with fish when they were short on game to hunt, or they even asked the sky to rain when the lands became dry. Overtime, "official" people were selected to talk to these sprits. They were chosen because were wise, very old, or had luck in making decisions. These people became the first shamans. Now, so far it was still nature being worshiped, but what happened to change that was favoritism. People who lived in dry lands began to view the spirits of rain as being most important. Or people who had unfertile crop lands would pray more to the god of harvest (notice how abstract and specific to their needs the spirits are becoming). As their relationship with the spirits became more personal and close, the spirits began to take human form so as to appear easier to approach. Anyway, as certain gods became more and more favored, a hierarchy appeared in the spiritually realm, and the first seeds of monotheism were sown. Not only were some gods higher in rank, but some actually became gods of gods, though more often than not, were viewed as parents. Examples of this would be the Greek gods with Kronos as the lord of lords. Through time smaller gods simply became fazed out, and new religions began to offer only one god for worship. But aside from the role of the gods, the role that these beliefs had in society began to change as well. In its early days religion was a simple way to beg nature for favors, it eventually became a way to bring about unity. First it only united small groups such as families, but later it unified entire communities. Now a large group of people were bound by a common belief, and began to identify themselves through their religion. As their numbers grew, the power of the shaman grew as well, and the first officials were born. With this power came a way to control, and the ways of living were first to be controlled. Lifestyles and philosophies on morals were created to "please the gods." Over time these rules became more and more complicated and needed to be written down (the first bibles). As the number of followers grew more officials were needed (the first orders). And now we have an organized religion and a religion based society. Only now religion is a form of order and control where people of power wield the word of the gods like whips. You can see where it goes from there.

Why is this important?

Because it shows that man didn't just wake up and say, "You know what, I think there is one god out there that created everything." Many people would like to argue that man always knew something was out there that created him, and that religion is the realization of that. Not true. There are countless artifacts and archeological finds to support this notion of religious evolution.

Wow. And that first one was a far stretch of the imagination. Anywho, you don't /know/ if what you say is fact or not. Christians believe that Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Bible, when he was on Mt. Sinai, getting the 10 commandments the first time. The first 5 books were dictated by God himself. The other books werewere written by various people who had either visions or encounters with God.

Are you kidding me?

The funny thing about science is that, while it continues to be a sad excuse for logic which the human race's stupider members can rely upon to make them feel all good inside, it also disproves many theories which were created for that same purpose in the first place. Interestingly enough, evolution is one of those. In fact evolution is so easy to disprove that I have seen comic strips dissect and destroy the entire theory single-handedly.

I found this one particularly hilarious:

"Big Daddy"

Not only is it funny, it's sadly what schools are like these days.

The fact is, there's more evidence proving the Creation "theory" ("truth" is a better word) than there is evolution! These things, the "cro-magnon man" and whatever else have you, were all made up, fabricated lies to make scientists feel good and to try and draw people away from God! Simple rare skeletons with deformations were called "stages of man's evolution"? Yeah right, that's just pathetic. The so-called "Neanderthal man" was proven to actually just be the skeleton of a man who had severe arthritis. Why didn't you hear about it? Because science is just one huge cover-up. They don't want you to hear about it. This is atrocious. The "Cro-magnon man" is described as "an earlier stage of man who had the physique and mentality of modern man". Oookay, so, I ask, what's the difference? They're exactly the same! One had a defect in some part of its skeleton! Are you telling me this is reason enough to declare it a seperate "stage of evolution"? Ludicrous. What if someone dug up the skeleton of Joseph Merrick three-hundred years from now (yes I know it's preserved in a museum but that's beside the point). Would some (undoubtedly superior to any other human) scientist give it a nifty name like Homo Headdeformus and call it a "stage of evolution"? Likely.


The skeleton of Joseph Merrick (aka "The Elephant Man").

Scientists are, in my opinion, some of the stupidest people on Earth. To quote the book of Romans, "professing themselves to be wise, they became fools". That describes science perfectly. Some other cases in which science disproves itself are carbon-dating. Scientists are o-so-obsessed with this phrase, "carbon-dating"! Woo, carbon dating, now we suddenly know exactly how everything in all of history happened! Except, how about Noah's Ark? You know, when the world was washed over with raging storms which covered the entire Earth? The purpose being to wipe the entire planet clean? So how is it, exactly, that carbon dating would still be accurate after the surface is so drastically affected as it would be in this case? And how about that shroud of Turin. Scientists liked bragging about how carbon-dating proves that the shroud is only a few hundred years old. Well, strange, it has recently been re-dated to, quote, "somewhere between 1400 and 2200 years old". Uhhh, yeah, bright guy. Try somewhere around the early-mid 1st century. Kind of weird how we don't hear about the Turin shroud any more, isn't it? You know, because science has to do with fact! Well, as a matter of fact, science continues to disprove itself yet when it does, don't expect to hear about it.

Just like you don't hear about when things in the Bible are proven to be correct or accurate. Why is that? Could it possibly be because scientists run the world and therefore everything we know is a result of their lies and brainwashing? Like so many people have found the media to be? Let me tell you, it's deeper than the media.

Why did we not hear about Sodom & Gomorrah being proven?
Why did we not hear about the shroud of Turin?
Why did we not hear about the Nephilim?

I'll tell you why: Because of the Big Lie. That is, science.
