Why should you believe a Creation Story that predates most modern Science? Why Shouldn't you describe your own personal experience of the Universe?
If you look at all the tribes I have studied all over the world, they all had their individual creation stories mostly.
A Tribe's Creation Story is their personal identity as a Tribe.
Why shouldn't an individual have their own creation story too?
I find myself synthesizing all the Creation Stories in the world sometimes, integrating all the things that actually make sense to me and combining them with my personal experience with life since I was born.
In doing this you empower yourself in your life. In empowering yourself you take away all limitations put upon you by others. Often they didn't mean you any harm but were victims themselves of how people treated them growing up.
The more you can figure things out for yourself the happier you are going to be.
One of the hardest things for me to fathom was what I fathomed in my 30s.
I once believed that all you have to do is to find sincere people because I thought sincere people were the answer.
However, sometimes misdirected sincere people are going to get you killed or seriously harm you in various ways. We all have seen this first hand.
So, understanding that people can be both sincere and wrong at the same time is what it is like to truly be a thinking adult capable of "Critical Thinking".
Because without Critical thinking "LIFE CAN BE VERY SHORT INDEED" and we see this in people's lives around us from childhood onward who are very sincere but wrong but soon are dead or crazy along the way.
Without Good decisions life can end pretty quickly.
And how do you get good information?
Good Decisions.
And how do you make good decisions?
Often if we survive our bad decisions we might learn to make good decisions and still be alive in our 70s to 90s or beyond.
By God's Grace
