Quote:Barring actually revelation from a deity is there any other possible way these subjective stories would be so similar and represent real scientific, recreated processes of universal order? Depends on if you think this is the first technological age of Man on this planet. There is much legendary data on some kind of world wide catastrophe or world war.OFC there is, but I fail to see why I would waste the time explaining it on someone who pulled an argument from ignorance as though it -could be- informative.
Quote:So say you are a refugee from the destruction of this previous world wide high tech age, now immersed in tribal/primitive societies. How might you preserve the technical knowledge you posses? Say you wanted to describe an electric eel to them? Would you tell them it has stacked electrocyte cells and when it flexes them all at once it can discharge a lethal amount of electricity? No, you'll tell them it shoots lightening bolts and stay the fuck away.World wide high tech age...lol. Like, crystal powered microwaves and paleolithic aeronautical engineering, right?
Quote:If you wanted to pass down stream through time technical knowledge of universal processes to a primitive culture, you encode it in the subjective stories of God/the Gods and it will pass itself down. They are the most viral stories around, with staying power long after they are no longer believed in.No they're not....we don't remember them today, they were completely eradicated by successive waves of religious bullshittery - just as you're doing now, in this thread, in a more subtle but no less destructive manner
