Troy Jollimore on Karen Armstrong’s ‘The Case for God’
I read the review by Troy Jollimore on Karen Armstrong’s “The Case For God”. What I got out of it was this post. Other than that, what’s a review anyway – One person’s opinion on another persons opinion?
I don’t have any fixed ideas about god – other than it would be a help to mankind to use a different word as a name. This title has become insurmountably scrambled. But I do have a couple of ideas about belief.
I walked past the TV the other day and there was a show on PBS that was showing some archeological finds. I set down and watched. About every 5 minutes the narrator would say “Our Ancestors”.
I am very interested in whatever is dug up, found out or discovered where life on earth is concerned. I really don’t like it when people tell me what to conclude from the findings. I don’t know if some “Lucy” was my ancestor or not. Neither does anyone else. So why keep saying it? Is it a religion? The religion of evolution?
Everything I’ve read, seen and heard leads me to believe, at the moment, that we were built by people from other planets (or dimensions). I just look at all the available physical evidence and make that temporary conclusion. I don’t necessarily want this to be the way of the origin of mankind.
On the other hand, it won’t bother me whatever the truth winds up to be. I see the biggest problem with religion and science to be one in the same. People are looking for evidence to support their preconceived notions. People look at the things they find as proof for their belief. That gets in the way of good studies, whether one is studying the gross physical or the subtler energies.
