My addition to the annals of religious creation tales inevitably leads to a new world creation theory. This theory is an amalgamation of all the world creation stories currently trying to explain our origins. And the premise that leads to this conclusion is the fact that if there is a Supreme Being, then he must be powerful enough to have done all the things mentioned in all current man origin theories.
We cannot say that our creator is all powerful, then rule out one possible way he could have made the world. Even Atheists who claim a Supreme Being doesn't exist could be right. If there is indeed a Supreme Being as powerful as we imagine he is, then it is possible that he can exist and not exist at the same time. Believing that that it is not possible, is looking at a Supreme Being as though he has the qualities of man. Man cannot exist in both alive and dead form at the same time. But an all powerful being can easily accomplish that. Otherwise he could not be the alpha and the omega, or the almighty that we say he or she is. And so the conclusion is very simple; all world creation tales could be right.
Then why does this creator allow this confusion? Good question! Why does he or she allow suffering, I will add? Well, one possible answer is perhaps he gave us the "free will" and put incidences in the way to help us realize who he is.
Why then doesn't he save Christians or Muslims, and all the others, from their daily struggles and challenges? Well, I don’t have the right answer but is it possible that he wants the whole of mankind to make a concerted effort in finding him? Does he want us to honor and request him to take back the "free will" in exchange for a life of bliss? Does he want us to categorize what is universally right and wrong, and do away with the bad.
That's the big question I harbor. In my new book, I suggest a grand test by the whole of mankind; especially anyone who has a conscience to understand the gravity of the global challenges facing us. The test aims to eliminate the many wrong world creation tales; resulting in one true fact that answers the age old question of who made us or how we came into being.
This test almost predicts some major event the world has been waiting for. Or rather an event a good proportion of the world has been waiting for and that is the apocalypse. We are told trumpets will be heard, and only 144,000 people will go to some heavenly abode according to some religion. I wouldn't worry so much about the figures, though, since a true Supreme Being can change his mind. What concerns me is what the Supreme Being—assuming that he exists—wants us all to do in order to enjoy eternal life. For example does he want everyone to turn to the right creation tale? Or does he want us to get rid of all sin first of all?
I say this because there must be something that can be done
by all of us to challenge our creator—wherever he is—to cut us some slack
and save us from the our current bleak future and possibly make us enjoy
eternal bliss. That, I bet, is a long discussion and I dole it all out my
contribution in my
book.
