THE ARROGANCE OF MANKIND











We are an intelligent species only because we define ourselves as such.  

We invent religions to insure ourselves that we are eternal; that we are made in a GOD’s image, and when we shuffle off this mortal coil we will become immortal demigods in a blissful paradise – that we can defeat death.

Here we sit on the third planet of a minor star in a galaxy of billions of stars in a universe of billions of galaxies declaring ourselves the center of all that exist – the reason for the existence of the universe itself; when in actuality we are no more important to the cosmos than a clam on the beach.

  1. The big ice receded 10,000 years ago, mankind's history that we remember goes back 4 or 5 thousand years.
    Arrogance is a good word....

  2. I'm gonna say it and I know I shouldn't but - it's amazing how time flies when evolution is having fun.

COMMENT: Ben Franklin said, "I imagine a man must have a good deal of vanity who believes, and a good deal of boldness who affirms, that all doctrines he holds are true, and all he rejects are false."
