linking the movie Lucy to religion
October 22, 2014 at 10:37 am
Inspired by the movie 'Lucy' (SPOILER ALERT! STOP READING IF NOT SEEN MOVIE)
Suppose god is indeed almighty, then he could also travel in time right? Well following that claim, it could be possible that god hasnt been born yet, lets construct a hypothesis!
This is how i interpreted the movie Lucy. The girl Lucy became the first person to use 100% of her brain, giving her the ability to travel trough time, change matter, ... she basicly became a god. Hypothetically, this story could be truth. It could be true that the world that exists today is created by a person in the future that became a god and traveled back in time.
Before you reply and say: 'that means that lucy indirectly created herself, causing a loop in time, with no start or end'.
As 3 dimensional beings we couldnt even try to conceptionalize time travel and it's concequences, so i couldnt say this is a contradiction.
another auto reply: "so you think Lucy created adam and eve?" well ofcourse not
following this hypothesis, a clean line between religion and science seems like the best bet. i'd decide to believe Lucy engineered the first 1cell organisms with her incredible intelligence and then 'steered' evolution in the right direction. You actually see how Lucy touches an ape (called Lucy) to make that ape the first ape with a self concience (the 'missing link' in today's science on evolution).
So yes this hypothesis could explain how god could come to be, it does not proof the existence of god. So what this really is some fruit for thought for both atheists and theists, and advertisement for the movie Lucy (oops! do i get banned now?)

I've heard of this movie, and I'm a bit tired of the old "we only use 10% of our brain" myth. We use all of our brain, though maybe not at the same time. It uses up too much energy and resources for us to only use a fraction of it. Can this idea just die already?

There's this kid at college who is supposed to be smarter than most. He told me about the shit in this movie.
He believed the 10% part ,the dolphin part, the metaphysical and witchcraft parts. Butt, he found the movie stupid because it was atheistic, darwinistic propaganda (Morgan Freeman disappointed him)
I wonder if I could be a good actor

All of that shit about the brain about being able to read peoples minds and control other people is completely made up, infact I think everything in that movie that has to do with the brain was made up.

The concept of that movie is a bit stupid.
We DO use all of our brain, a 100% of it. What we don't use if the full potential of it, like with training we can gain sharper memory, be better at maths, e.t.c.
But then again if you smoke a shit ton of weed or mix a exotic new drug in your blood stream, then you can easily travel through space and time, become a fairy and flutter over Losty's head, warp reality, understand animals, hear colors, see sounds and whole lot of other things.
My theory:
Due to the drugs, she acted like a psychopath in the beginning, just like a raging addict. As she increased her dosage, she began to lose it completely. At the end when the scientists pumped her full of that shit, she moved on (maybe exploded MWAHAHA), and somehow the drug got mixed in the air making nearby people hallucinate.
@DramaQueen: Tell your friend, taking drugs and seeing weird shit is not Darwinian Evolution.
