I
see philosophy as being an experimental field of intellectual
discussions, after all it is a well known fact that knowledge
and progress only result from experimenting.
I would like to present a simple example of an intellectual
discussion:
When I was a child, I was told the story of the Creation
from the bible, including the demand: "subdue the earth."
The ultimate interpretation of this demand is the objective
of also being independent from this earth.
- On the basis of modern scientific knowledge, this demand
- subdue the earth - is rendered easy to understand; after
all, we are aware that the existence of mankind can be terminated
all at once.
No-one knows when the earth will be hit by (a so-called)
stroke of fate, resulting in humans suffering the same fate
as the dinosaurs. The responsibility towards the descendants
make it necessary to continue with life.
My personal understanding as an answer to the question:
Where do I come from and where am I going to!
I am convinced that an event occurred upon the creation
of the apes by the evolution, their genes being comparable
with ours to an extent of up to 96%, which can be expressed
with the following theory:
"A number of apes were subjected to radiation during
a certain period in early times which triggered a genetic
change, humans only developing from these radiated!"
Each one of you should decide for yourself whether this
process results from a divine will, cosmic radiation, both
of these together or extraterrestrial intelligence.
I would like to conclude a metaphysical doctrine to the
beginning 21 of the century, which makes the "immortality"
of the Homosapiens understandable in itself: "the universe
is not a temptation for the human being, it is his destiny
."
