(Apart from the fact that he was from a wealthy family and had influential friends that helped promote his concept.)
Well thats what makes darwin's theory a scientificly accepted one and mine a post on a message board
I think I know what purpose we are here for but as to how or why any of this is happening in the first place is far beyond my knowledge. I(like you) merely see indications of there being more to it than what darwin's theory suggests.
I will go along with that. But who is mother nature and why is she doing it?
I think "mother nature" is the planet earth itself, I don't see what else it would be.
The common consensus is earth is just a rock because it has no brain or anything like that but I hardly think the fact we can't figure out how its physical make-up could be that of an intelligent being necasarrily render's it impossible. We are familiar with animals and plants and in what sense they are alive because we can study many of them and see how they work and so on but less is known about planets. What is known is explained in such a way that if you described humans using the same methods they would seem like innanimate collections of molecules also.
Why would mother nature give us the instincts to create a complex society just to kill it off?
Thats the ineteresting part.
You see every aspect of society is whats required for us to complete our task. Seems like alot of trouble but an intelligent creature like humans need a fairly elaborate distraction. This society is just a contradiction of nature, an inbalance, there was nothing like us for hundreds of millions of years, then all of a sudden we appeared, we aren't a species with a long term task that we need to keep doing for the planet to run smoothly, we are a quick short slicing action.
Whether you believe earth did it or not the result of humans is undeniable. A culling of nature in general is what we have already done. This will eventually strengthen it.
We will never survive for millions of years like most species, unless disease takes out the majority of us, and then the few remaining change and evolve and turn into a new environmentally safe version of the human species.
That might be more likely than us being wiped out completely but still, I believe we evolved for a reason and we have nearly finished our task. Our task might change when we change, and it could be something as simple as appreciating the planet.
Your question was "why would mother nature give us the instincts to create such a complex society only to destroy it" and its hard to explain but it makes sense in my head.
I don't think destruction and wasted efforts bother earth like they do us. Society's purpose was to make us hold unnatural things as important, the average human's biggest concern is that it doesn't rain on golf day or something of the equivalence. Society is fun for us and like I said it is a distraction, thats its purpose for now, distract us while we unknowingly destroy our home with progression.
If we lived off nature while possessing these brains of ours we would respect it too much and we never would have altered it and earth wanted us to. Religion is what separated us from nature and made us start trying to make life better for our devine selves. The future wasn't in our sights, our own personal future in the "lords kingdom of heaven" is all we cared about.
Thats why I said the bible was "inspired by god" , meaning it was ingrained into its authors instincts by nature. Nature tricked us into doing a job she wanted us to do.
Keep in mind I wouldn't bet my lifesavings on this theory I'm just pointing out how it seems this way.
If you are interested in theology then Chapter 18 of God Gametes is on Eastern Mythology and Chapter 19 on Christianity.
I am not interested in theology other than the strange affects religion had on the human species behavioural pattern. I don't need to learn any more about religion, all I need is the basics and to observe what it produced.
