I have this theory, but before I tell it to you i need to reel off some basic facts

1 most people think that the pyrimid at giza (the really big one) has the body of a pharoh, but they are wrong, nothing is in it.

2 if you went back to the time of the trojin war with a machine gun, and used it to kill, you would be revered as a god and worshiped

3 there is a planet called planet X. the orbit is wierd and almost perpendicular to the other planets.

4 a meteor would and could knock a planet off orbital course and make it a good bit smaller.

5 hyroglyphics depicting spacesuits, guns, and UFO's have been found

ok now on to the theory. The, well, we'll just call them gods, forsaw a large meteor comming. they saw earth and said lets go there. Various groups of these gods spred out to different places i.e greece, Norway, Egypt, babalon, and south america. with their vastly superrior tecnology, they where revered as gods. The gods in question did stuff similar to what we see in myths, and humans saw this and wrote it down with serious hyperbole.

Zeuse went down and did alot of women. in the christian bible it says, "and the sons of god went down, and layed with the women of earth."

then after a while, they all dissapeared. (read everworld) (out of print) i am not arnack, as a matter of fact, I am Devin.

if your idea is correct it is a good thing the earth was suitable to them....

so how did the mythology move from lots of gods to one god?
Arnack
well, if you're refereing to christianity, well christian god made them, god angry and smited them all for trying to be god, or maybe they just got tired of bullying thoes of lesser intellegence, and went somewhere elese, i honestly don't know. still not arnack
hyperactive
not christianity... but the family of abrahamic religions. highly unlikely that the monotheistic god created anything, yet alone lessor gods.

what of all the other gods/godesses while we are at it?
Arnack
What are you asking about all the other gods and godesses? what do you mean?

and as for the abrahamic well, i don't know what that is, but the monotheistic god could have made them. not as dimi gods, but as beings, they just got more technologicaly advanced, so they were just man -esqu creatures with technology
hyperactive
the abrahamic family of religions is the western monthesitic religions (judaism, christianity, islam).

of all the religions that have come and gone, why are choosing christianity as the true religion? why not one of the even more ancient religions or why not one of the eastern religions?
Arnack
Well, jewish reilgion is a little bit like the christian religion... I don't know much about the islamic religions. So.. what do you think is the 'official' religion is.. we could work it from there.
hyperactive
official religion - well, i view religion as a low frequency force within a society that changes very slowly, providing the base stability.

the official religion of any society is the religion that serves that purpose (or several theologies that serve as the religion).

religion is a construct. it evolves along with that which it serves. it dies with that which it serves.

so in the grand scheme of things there is no official religion, just a bunch of human constructs.

the best i could offer you, if you want for the greatest flexibility is to leave open the possibility of the universe being itself this "god", several universes all being part of this "god", or, since there is no need for the "god" layer, leave it as the universe is self driven.
Arnack
ok, ur saying.. there is no god or god is the universe. These gods must have evolved. But, you cant ignore the works of jesus and old testimate profits (and moses).


hyperactive
ignore? i could. i view them in their social/cultural/historical perspective and treat them as ancient philosophies. (there is no need for the supernatural, so i omit it)
Arnack
But.. at the same time they are ancient.. I don't feel like getting into a skeptic vr Religion argument.. so Im going to pass :-)

i am not trying to start a skeptic vs believer conversation. yes, the abrahamic religions are "ancient",but by no means the most ancient!

i was just curious as to why you included a "god" at all, and why you chose the christian god. you could just as easily made up your own since this is your idea of how the gods came to be!
Arnack
Z.z
I chose the Christain god becuase I know most about it, and how you said these pholosiphies are ancient.. we still you use them today... even though they are ancient? lol

Pretty nice theory, but you have one major flaw. You supposing that all the gods from the different religions existed at the same time, whereas they are the same gods but with different names. You see, the major civilizations that came after the major civilization: Egypt, adopted their gods and thus in turn did the civilization after that. Polythesim turned to Monothesism when Christianity broke through. Many gods became one. The different religions all have factual basis to their existence and they all originate to a central source, however some belief that source isn't found yet. Atlantis perhaps? Though Egypt is the basis to most of our modern religion using the ancient past as our guide. The Christian Bible is a great testament to that! Egypt hyrogliphes do claim contact with strange objects and people, but nothing can be proven or taken for fact as there is no evidence to prove or validate them. The strange hyrogliphes of space ships, I mean, and other planets, metors, etc. So, imagination has a big part and influences how we intrepret our modern world and what it was like in the ancient past. We can see a lot in a picture when we play to our fantasy.

well.. they are not that old... on average, the lifecycle of a religion is 2000 years.

judaism is older, but christianity and islam are no exceptions to the rule.

as i said, the religions change when the societies that use them change. change is a coming too.... the world is nearing a paradigm shift, possibly, that will dramatically alter the structures of our societies. it is the evolution of society.
