Humanity ( Knowledge is Power ) - Part I

Man, two arms, two legs, your typical human body! What is so great about this creature that it thinks it is absolutely the greatest of all beings that exist on this planet? Is it our power to 'think', 'learn', 'experiment' and 'learn'? to pass on the knowledge that has been accumulated?

Is it not evolution in the works? For evolution itself is the process of learning, organizing, accumulating all the knowledge that has been acquired since the beginning of time itself! From nothing came the Big Bang! from the Big Bang came the basic elements which started making the galaxies, solar systems, the planets, the stars that we see all around us!

This is where the atoms come into action, the basic component of life! the atom itself! It has made all the things that exist around us, we ourselves are the production of atoms working together.

Today we stand on this planet that we have given the name earth! It has a life of its own in its own manner. By our human definition, life is carbon based only! But science says otherwise. Atoms are the basic building blocks, they work on laws of science that are totally different then ours! We cannot even imagine how it all came to be! So far theories have reached upto the multiverse ( parallel universes )?

What will be the next big step? Will science be able to pass through the 'gates' as I call them to go on into other dimensions? Or will it be not allowed by the laws that govern the atom itself! For the result of all that is, matter and antimatter to come into contact, will only result in disaster!

The question that I want to look into is 'why' humans think that they are the 'superior' being in all of this universe. Indeed religious dogma has us believe that we are superior yet we bow down to a maker? If there is a maker, the question arises...who made the maker? And in all of religion, this question is equivalent of blasphemy. Does religion kill peoples logic? That is a question for another time.

For now I say farewell till next time I discuss humanity. If you wish to know my views regarding humanity on some particular subject, do not hesitate to ask!
