Houston… We have a big problem on our hands, not in space, but right here on planet Earth. Of course, that is astronaut-speak for problems in space, but our problem is not unidentified flying objects (UFOs) but unidentified queer doings (UQDs).
This is not about queer behaviors
but queer, or freaky, processes. One freakshow by itself is not suspicious but
two together may be existentially dangerous. For those with a limited IQ (intelligence
quotient), that means the end of existence.
Artificial intelligence to
complement gene editing may end the human race. That is the existential threat,
not global warming nor even cold climate change. Those processes working together
are not on the horizon but in your face so cleverly disguised as “progress.”
That alliance combined with
highly technical devices are now here. There are human robots now that are more
articulate in movement than the best athlete; they can out contortion the greatest
contortionists. (Below is the link to Tesla Optima advanced robot that is both cognitive
and dexterous and does not depend on programming for decision-making. As such
it is self-programming, having the capability to learn from experience.) [1]
Other robots are the athletes but
like athletes; they are at the present not the sharpest knife in the drawer,
so to speak. [2]
With that information on robots,
the existential threat is not so much robots of titanium but “robots” of flesh.
What was the first sin in the
world? (You have a week to discover it, or you can take a guess now. I am waiting….)
….
….
The first sin is symbiosis. Adam is credited with the first sin. “… as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men… (Rom 5:12), and the solution is, “For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous” (Rom 5:19).
Paul did not write “man,” he
wrote “anthropos” — not literally a man but a human being.
What makes humankind different? We are bipedal, walk upright without a tail to
balance us and have a high degree of intelligence, reasoning, and a will to make
decisions, good or bad. The intent was for mankind to make good decisions in
the manner of their “Image” (God).
So, who sinned? Was it the
Serpent (the image of Lucifer), Adam, or Eve? Note that the Serpent never made anyone
do anything, so he was the catalyst but not the principal force.
Eve sinned first and conditioned
Adam to sin. She ate and did not seem to die, so Adam ate. Adam, the man, was
the second sinner; Eve the woman was the first! The sin of Adam was listening
to Eve (Gen 3:17). Adam was cursed thirdly of the three beings in the Garden.
Although God rightfully
approached the man first, Eve identified the first sin, to wit: “The Serpent
beguiled me” (Gen 3:13). The Serpent gave her new knowledge of some sort. That
knowledge is revealed by implication in two places: (1) The male was not the
father of all living but female was the “mother of all living” (Gen 3:20), and
furthermore, “Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and
said, ‘I have gotten a man from the Lord’” (Gen 4:1).
Sure, Adam the man, engaged flesh
with Eve but that was after the curse. It was Lucifer, another kind of being,
that “bewitched” her and she seemed to have deceived her mate. Neither Adam nor
the LORD GOD produced Cain but Eve and her new “lord” who she had obeyed
created Cain.
As such, Eve created a new kind
of being not in the image of God but the image of Lucifer, who is our “father
the Devil” (John 8:44).
This has been wordy, but what was
the question? What was the first sin? It’s in the woman’s name. Eve means “symbiotic,”
coming from the Hebrew Haua — “life-giver” from the root noun ‘Issa,
(adulteress). The birth process of Cain was by symbiosis — “the
living together in more or less intimate association or close union of two
dissimilar organisms (
The association (adultery)
between Eve and the Image of Eve, called the “Serpent” was a union of two very
dissimilar organisms; she the image of God and the Serpent, the image of
Lucifer.
The future is here. The time has
come for another symbiotic creature smarter and eviler than Cain. Cain had the
mark of the Beast, his father (Gen 4:15). Neither was Cain the sharpest
creature; Abel was sharper and righteous, causing Cain to become jealous and
killed the most righteous man who so far had not sinned. Out of jealousy of the
countenance of Abel, Cain killed him. With only a few people around: Adam, Eve,
Abel, Cain, Aklidia and Luluwa, — their
twins, Cain was an existential threat to humankind.
Cain was certainly a half-brother
whose father was the Devil, and not the son of the man, Adam. Cain was a
symbiotic creature with both good and evil within him but evil prevailed. He
was a danger to mankind, so God marked him to show just whose father was his.
Hence, the first sin was the first evil knowledge that was conceived. Eve’s sin
was surely carnal knowledge wherein she had “guile” introduced into her bosom —
cunning or duplicity (symbiosis).
Why bring up Adam and Eve? God created
them the upright kind, but the Beast and Eve produced a composite of them both,
surely not upright (Was that the mark, or was it giantism?)
The current sin is of the same
manner. Solomon said that there is nothing new under the sun (Ecc 1:9) and the
existential sin in the end should be the same sin as in the beginning —
creating a new creature in the manner of the old creature, the “Serpent.”
Note that the Serpent was not a reptile
but a “serap” (seraph), according to Isaiah. So, Cain had the DNA of
both Eve and a demon angel; hence sin came into the world and is genetic. You
cannot do anything about changing your own genes… until now with CRISPR-Cas9
gene editing tool.
The Serpent edited the genes of
God in Eve. My contention is that was the sin that brought on death. We think
of death as de-animation, but Cain was born “dead” in that he was not humankind;
he was not anthropos. Neither are sinners — all of us — humane (upright)
but come short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23; perfect uprightness).
Adam did not recognize death
because they were not dead, but Cain would be walking death as another kind of
being, not humankind nor animal-kind but inglorious-kind.
