RE: The evolution of Adam - The biological purpose of death.

in #religion7 years ago

When does one consider this great universe we supposedly have out there?
(Stories from government agencies and privately owned companies about voyages and orbiting satellites, space missions, etc..)

Assuming "overpopulation" was the cause for creating death..
What about the fact that we haven't truly overpopulated this planet yet?..
Not even close.. (With the consideration that others' greed is the only thing preventing all these families and places from being more inhabited.)

So if death is to keep us from overpopulating.. Why is there such a vast universe out there? To expand into.. To break through "limits" to reach.. To forever explore.. To learn to inhabit..

That's the only real question I have when it comes to this. I don't claim to know much about religion or the bible or any of that, as I'm agnostic.. I believe that a book created by man will never and has never been "God's word" as it has been put through too many hands of men and we know the nature of men..

I do believe it's interesting to think about and discuss though! Very well-written post, keep the interesting content up, this is the type of stuff that's eye-opening and mind-expanding! Love it! :)

@kainmarx Yes, there is such a vast universe out there but as of the moment, people are still living in a planet called earth. We may haven't truly overpopulated this planet yet but we already abused our resources. We consume more than what we needed. If there is no death, just imagine what will earth looks like.

Have you seen Soylent Green? If you haven't, I highly recommend it. It was a 1973 film but the content of that film is evergreen. The movie shows how the earth looks like in the future and how overpopulated they are. In a week they are only given a gallon of water per person. It's an all around water so people no longer showers. Lakes, rivers, and the like no longer exists nor trees, grass, and flowers. I don't even remember seeing any other animals aside from rats. The only food they have is biscuits. There are a green, yellow, and red biscuits. People's favorites are the green biscuits. It was given to them freely by the government but after distributions bulldozer visits and take as many people as they can. Fast forward... a detective accidentally found out that his and other people's favorite green biscuits are made of humans.

I believe death had to be created so that no (human) evil could live forever.. So that no sin could truly continue to persist.. As in, those who wish to do bad, will eventually all have to die.. Leaving less bad and less negative in the world.. If we all worked together, raising new generations on ideals that could work.. We could potentially run sin out of the human bloodline.. Just a thought as well. :)

But @kainmarx, everyone dies. Even so-called good people.

The universe is great, of course.!

Infant mortality rates were very high in past millennia, remove that from the equation and you would have a vastly different scenario on this earth well before possible space travel.

Very good point there, what also comes to mind is why GOD will specifically Tell man to fill or populate the earth
