Lazy Atheism?

[Ferrocyanide]

I am talking about primitive humans.

Well, "primitive" is kind of a tricky word.

It is just like the words long, short, heavy, light, ugly, rough, viscous, hot, hard, sharp.
These words mean whatever you want them to mean. They are relative words. They are subjective.

So, eventually, I gave a definition to make my earlier posts more clear.


It doesn’t matter if Paul, Jesus and the other primitive people didn’t have a printed copy of the tanakh. There were no high speed industrial printing machines then. All the members of the jewish faith were told the stories from a young age by their parents and their priests. All humans are going to be asking the Big questions. Like I said, some of those questions will be or are addressed by science.
Example: Why do we exist gets converted to how do we exist in Evolution theory (how does nature work, what happened in the past)

All religions try to answer how did it happen, what are the steps the gods took, what was the recipe, at what point did they felt was the best moment to create a human.

Like I said, even if Paul, St Augustine and a few of the guys were were non-literalist, this doesn’t mean that they accepted the Big Bang theory and Evolution theory. It would have been reasonable to them that the jewish god created everything from day 1, in 0 nanoseconds, in 1 nanosecond or whatever. In the end, they are YEC.

They were not aware of cavemen. They were not aware of humans being covered by thick body hair. They were not aware that all humans had dark skin and are from Africa. In their mind, humans are intelligent beings from the moment god creates them. They have a language. They know how to take care of animals and make tools and have a language from day 1. In their mind, humans have a memory from day 1.

In terms of science, humans have no memory for the entire block of 6 million to about 5000 BCE. All that time period has been forgotten.
