Myths in creation

Ours is a curious mind. A mind demanding a complete picture of everything. One of the biggest mysteries man has spend wondering throughout ages is that of the universe and its creation. How did it all begin and when? And every one of us as a kid would have asked, “Where did I come from or where do babies come from?“. That question I guess is the most universal question kids ask regarding creation. The answer to that question varies according to the different culture and the social situation in which one was brought in and the important thing we can note here is that the question was the same. And the answers though different, none of them had the real answer or it may lead to another question altogether and of course most of them were religious myths. So when I questioned for the very first time about creation, the bible was the answer with a story to explain the whole event and my curiosity about creation ceased. As a kid, anything with a story was believable to us but the death of curiosity about the universe has made us to elude our interest in it. My Interests was shifted to other things where questions had definite answers.

Well the next set of ideas about creation came from school when they taught us about big bang and evolution which directly conflicted with what I already thought as the answer. So here I got a new answer altogether which had no similarities with what I already knew as the answer. This new theory had more validity since it came from science and science was based on observations. And science made sense to me because of this. I abandoned all other fields including my faith in bible and considered science had all the answers. The curiosity was reignited but my vision was narrow. I realised this when I understood the problem with science. The observations on which science is based on is at times inconsistent as years pass by because of new observations. New theories put forth by new observation can completely prove the older theories as wrong and although most cant out prove the other completely. This resulted in various distinctions within science itself like quantum mechanics and cosmology. So the big bang theory which I thought as the ultimate and most definite answer to what I knew of creation was at question when I explored quantum mechanics where they question and observe the very moment of the big bang on a quantum scale. Quantum mechanics ultimately has the same problem as I have mentioned above about science. The scientific observations itself are either human sensory based or assumptions in regard to already established scientific laws which is again derived from sensory observations. This invites in a new study altogether in science questioning the sensory perceptions of man being an illusion. Hence theories like Holographic universe come into being which talks about creation on a whole different level. And as crazy as it sounds, it cannot be disapproved or proved completely just like all the other theories. Scientists are trying to find that one solution that will unify all these theories together, it’s called the Grand Unification theory. Is there really a possibility of a grand unification theory that would explain all? Until now it hasn’t but if it has to happen we should broaden our perception and unite not only in science but in every other fields of knowledge as well.

From a philosophical point of view, I started thinking of the universe having a consciousness of its own. This can be explained with biology. We are all made of trillion different types of cells; it is the smallest unit of life classified as living thing. These cells have their own respiratory and digestive system. They think and communicate with each other and these trillion cells makes up a human body and billions of human bodies makes up the earth. The earth has more similarities with the human body. The earth has its own electro magnetic radiation just like the human body. The frequencies from these electro magnetic radiation are responsible for biological rhythms like menstrual cycles. These frequencies are picked up by the flora and fauna as if they were biological instruments like the cells in our body. If the earth is an organism by itself, what does that imply of the universe?

The question of creation still remains in my mind without a definite answer so the curiosity remains. Since none of the answers have definite solution to the question, every one of them has the quality of being a myth. So here I am now faced with this many different possible answer to what happened during creation. And in this day and age, the big bang seems to be most commonly approved of theory by the whole of scientific community. But it isn’t completely provable so it remains at question yet again. This constant recurring cycle of the questioning and concluding has gone on throughout our entire history, at one point of time it was religion, then it was philosophy and now it is science. So will there be a grand unification theory in science that will explain all? Or are we going to move away from the field of science as we know of it today to an altogether new field where more and new answers and questions may come to light? This might be our next step in human evolution.
