I take you're not familiar with the story of Adam & Eve...
...and the tree of knowledge.
No, i understand it quite well. Adam and Eve did exactly as they were supposed to do. And I'm very glad they did.

I take you're not familiar with the story of Adam & Eve...
...and the tree of knowledge.
Ever wonder why the pursuit of knowledge is a big no-no accoding to the dogma of many of the world's prominent religions?
I've always considered that a HUGE red flag.
How about you?
The Prophet Muhammad said, Seek knowledge even in China,
In his time, going to China was like going to the moon. It was a very dangerous journey and could take years.
He was basically saying to seek knowledge no matter what cost.
The Quran is very big on knowledge and science.
It all makes sense if you believe it was from the Tree of Knowledge, that Adam and Steve were not supposed to eat from while enjoying the gayden of eden.That makes sense.
But it also IMO betrays somewhat of a God/Religion paradox. As I've stated in other threads, I have no knowledge of what God might think, want or care about if indeed God exists. However, I cannot fathom any good reason why God would frown upon the pursuit of knowledge, especially if it leads to enlightenment. So it's actually possible that organized religions that seemingly trumpet the worship of and belief in God, are oddly enough and unwittingly, anti-God.
My head hurts.
But
What
if
enlightenment led to the knowledge that God does not exist!!
Would God really want that known??

That presupposes that pursuing knowledge will take us there, it's not convergent, it's divergent, that's what makes it so interesting.
Whatcha waitin' for?hmmm, interesting bit of intellectualism on display. can I pos rep you on this one?

I mean if you're going to accept theories then it's only fair to be accepting to all theories.
There's more evidence of there being a creator than there is of "coincidental" creation. But you wouldn't know it to listen to the sneering of the anti- crowd.
