a freedom of choice.

Being born and raised Catholic, the only imagery and
knowledge I had of the God was given by the priest.

I was not encouraged nor required to read the Bible
on my own until John 23 urged individual reading of
the Scripture as presented in the Catholic version
of the Bible, which we purchased from the Church.

As a result of this restriction, I began reading my
Bible and Eric von Daniken’s book* in relatively
the same time period, when the band was not
playing in Mykonos, Paros, and Piraeus, which
only has relevance to the question because of
the UAFO I observed over the lighthouse.

After reading through five days of the creation of
all that was then known at the time when those
people who ‘discovered’ representing sounds
with symbols n were writing down what they
were hearing of what was remembered of
history and imagined the creation of the
world they perceive around them with the
‘Sham-man’ who spoke, in an ‘altered state’,
with the God, or gods, depends.

With this in mind, I questioned my priest
regarding the God creating them male n
female, in his ‘own image’. My questions
seemed to upset the good father…

This worked until we split the atom n made a
bomb, but I wander often thru thought of the
marvel of the development of the human
intelligence contained in many foldings of
the human brain, and in dolphins, some of
them more so and larger, than in humans,
n it all seems to be powered by electricity
in some form..…

Did all I see and know and was and is: Electrons,
Neutrons. Protons.. being arranged in different
numbers, ‘obeying laws’, and creating different
chemicals and elements…. culminating in the
marvel that is me, with all the parts working
properly, all wrapped up in skin to keep the
insides in, just… happened?

The Universe I know is old and big.
Is this the only place it happened?

Eric made more sense in explaining ‘us’,
but even if he’s right about the ET life,
who/what created it?
