considering alongside these technologies the fact that we are losing individual rights and sovereignty? Big data means we have no privacy and a predescribed algorithm decides what becomes of your data and how we are registered and treated under the law. Very soon it will be completely impossible to trade without bio data identity to verify the transaction. Now then Christians, here is the BIG question. Is the new bio- tech system a product of the beast? “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:17 The paradox of the Scientific community’s arrogance might be that they are truly the ignorant ones who have relegated themselves to be left in the dark by the very basis of their lack of objectivity. They fail to consider the possibility of other dimensions of reality and the existence of the supernatural. So then, we scoff at the ancients even though we still cannot explain how they achieved superhuman feats such as the pyramids and the ziggurats and the stonehenge to name only a few of the world’s great wonders. You would think that a truly scientific approach would be to make all information available for students to explore and form their own ideological position and worldview. However, through curriculum hijacking, evolution has become the dogma of the state and they have the gall to accuse the Church of indoctrination. Themes Throughout History: Many will scoff at this view but if you take the time to examine the consistency across ancient civilizations where there’s clear record of extraordinary/supernatural beings who have intermarried and reproduced superhuman/mutant children. It begs the question how could they all be so thematically similar though geographically and chronologically far removed? Look at the theme of the so called “myths” and Legends, artwork, animations, games and movies from the different parts of the world and times in history. Be it Greek/Roman, Norse, Oriental, Persian, Celtic, Egyptian, Mayan, Mesopotamian, Zoroastrian, Polynesian, all have legends of Demigods that are all very similar. These Demigods are not of this world but have alien residence through miscegenation with human beings. They have supernatural powers that gives them the ability to govern over natural laws, elements and forces such as: wind, thunderstorms, fertility, agriculture, fire, rain etc.., Almost all of these myths etc. state that super human beings, produced Demigods via sex with human women who subsequently gave birth to: giants, super powered mutants, super strong heroes, hybrid/mixed breeds of humans and animals: Centaurs, Minotaur, Scorpion Men, mermaids/men, birdmen etc. Finally there is also the common belief that there is coming a war of wars or final battle of the Gods assisted by worthy humans many of whom are the resurrected dead of these hideous monsters and the emergence of a new world after this epic battle. elements including blood, wood, fire, water and clay. These immortals pre- existed human dynasties and founded human dynasties by intermarriage with humans. Divine Right to Rule of Kings The idea of rulership being appointed by God and kings descending from the Gods is also found there. Also, the idea of a Trinity of governance and an afterlife and other spiritual dimensions/reality. (Underworld, Paradise, Heaven, Valhalla, Nirvana) Higher learning, wisdom and technology also was believed to have been gifted to humanity from the Gods. There is also a thematic commonality of good gods and evil ones fighting against each other and humanity getting caught in the crossfire or being used as pawns and the idea of predestined fates. The Biblical View “Jesus dispelled the myth of neutrality when He stated, “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad” (Matthew 12:30)”... “ Biblical creation holds that mankind was created in God’s image separate and distinct from the animals (Genesis 1:26– 27). This is our sacred trust as humanity. Any mixture of the human genome with that of any other species is forbidden, not advised. God gave us a pure race and we should keep it that way. If we arrogantly play around with it then we will have to live with the monsters we create and I don’t mean the fluffy, cuties that we see in cartoons. The real monsters will delete us from this planet. That was always Satan’s plan, to remove man from his purpose built, God designed, paradise home. p Among the many “ Mythologies” there is always a supreme one or creator of the universe who is immortal, who emerged out of chaos/void, created the lesser Gods the universe and humans from natural October - December 2017 By Angela Slack educational curriculum/ literacy specialist, technical author and worship leader SHARE | MAGAZINE | 9
