That’s very nice of you but “thanks” will not be enough. You have to answer a question yourself:
Have you ever studied the evolution of theological thought?
Do you have an idea what the symbol that follows stands for?



I am sure you don’t and so I will answer the questions for you.

Theological thinking evolved from empirical knowledge. Traditionally all peoples on earth claim creation by gods, only that the creation in question was completely natural and in complete harmony with science because it was realized by means of sex making.
Theologians adopted originally sex making as the system for creating people, but thought it was proper to dispense with the female part and have the male gods produce offspring by themselves. So they said that the great god Atum produced his Children Shu and Tefnut through masturbation.

The Egyptians, being perfectionists, provided in their writings of the story of Atum the masturbator the above symbol in order to clarify, in order to eradicate even the slightest shadow of doubt, of the great achievement of Atum.

The theologians that took over from the one with the masturbating theory, thought they could, and did, expand the creation of people to include the creation of universe but they decided not tell the truth and just tell that the great god was creating by his thought or by his voice.

In reality, of course, they knew the universe was created the other way.
