The speaker was Professor Heigl. She clicked on the screen, and a series of literature suddenly popped up.
"Have you noticed that in this series of stories, the power of 'Poseidon' has become more and more powerful?"
"From the small fish and shrimps in ancient times to all kinds of gold and jewelry, it can take out everything the Dige people have in one go. This gives the indigenous people a kind of 'Poseidon Umolu'.
No, and it’s an illusion of being very wealthy!”
"Actually, can this process be regarded as the process of intellectual development of 'Gaia creatures'?
"After all, the slow growth of this creature should not be measured by our time..."
"It has been slowly improving over the years...even in the past few hundred years, cold weapons have appeared! This is very incredible!"
Yu Yifeng nodded, it sounded reasonable, but he couldn't help but asked: "So, what's going on with the wrath of the sea god - the tsunami? Is it venting its emotions?"
Professor Heigl shook his head: "Tsunami is just a natural phenomenon caused by earthquakes! According to my guess, this nascent Gaia consciousness was directly washed away by the huge tsunami! This also led to a long period of time.
If you cannot respond to the Diggers, no miracle will occur."
"If this is true, Gaia's creatures may be more fragile than we thought... Its self-awareness was actually washed away by the tsunami!"
"I know! It's an imitation!"
Dr. Rimbaud suddenly shouted excitedly, interrupting Professor Heigl's words.
"Everything it does is imitation! It's just imitation!"
"We shouldn't think about things so complicatedly. What kind of driving force behind the scenes acts as a god...it doesn't exist at all! This Gaia creature is like a silly robot, just imitating the Digger!"
"Just think about it, the Dige dug a hole and buried food in it. Then it followed suit and dug a big hole and buried a large amount of food in it... As a result, it became a god in the eyes of the natives!"
"What devout person would receive a gift from the God of the Sea? Fart! It's just imitation!"
"As for... stories about recovery from illness, survival in the sea, light balls falling into the sea, etc.... they don't exist! Or it's just some kind of coincidence that was forcibly attributed to Gaia's creatures!"
Rimbaud spoke out all his conjectures loudly. For a moment, everyone was stunned...
…
Of course, smart people are not just the new arrivals...
Even the Dige people had this idea a long time ago.
"Curiosity" is the common emotion of every intelligent life. Since ancient times, some Dige people have always wondered: What exactly is the "Poseidon"? Does it live in the sea? Does it look the same as them? Is it really nothing?
cannot?
Such curiosity has led many people to try to figure out the truth about Poseidon. Although this "attempt" is actually a sacrilegious act, because according to religious regulations, God is omnipotent and difficult to figure out.
But there are still Dige people who want to take on the perspective of Poseidon. They make a lot of guesses based on the various behaviors of "Poseidon Umolu"...
Some of these conjectures were beneficial to the ruling class, so they were adopted by religions and turned into various classics.
But others...of course became heretics.
For example, the "doctrine of imitation" is the most famous and rebellious doctrine, which appeared two thousand years ago.
This theory believes that "Poseidon" is just imitating people's movements. "Poseidon" is a powerful creature, but it may have low self-awareness and no thoughts of its own.
The miracles that really happened were just imitating the actions of the Diggers...
Of course, this kind of rebellious thought is absolutely blasphemous in any era, and it caused the Holy See to be furious. Whether it was ordinary people or the upper class, they all felt that "God" was elusive and difficult to describe.
, how could it be just a powerful creature?
So two thousand years ago, this heresy purge was supported by almost everyone, and those who advocated the "doctrine of imitation" were burned to death at the stake...
Although these pioneers left the world early, this imitation theory has been passed down and is widely circulated in the hearts of some blasphemers...
Until modern times, a great scientist appeared... and the whole world finally experienced the biggest turning point.
Li Tu, a 38-year-old native of Dige, is a top theologian and biologist. Reaching his position requires not only talent but also luck.
The main direction of his recent research is complex algae in the ocean.
What no one knows is that under the bombardment of various waves of thinking, the theologian Li Tu turned out to be an extremely rare "atheist"!
Even, he is the leader of an “atheist organization”!
Perhaps every civilization has had the emergence of "maverick" individuals who attempted to change this chaotic and helpless world.
There are many successful people among them, and they have become real heroes.
But most of them are losers...
How difficult is it to change a world?
It takes opportunity, luck, timing, and location.
But now, scientist Li Tu believes that an opportunity... has finally appeared!
Opportunity...is the development of science!
As time goes by, the Dige people get deeper and deeper into various branches of science, but they find that there are more and more loopholes in religious explanations, and they have a tendency to be out of place.
Although today's religions have been reforming and changing to adapt to the trend of the times, there are still loopholes in this untrue thing, no matter how it is covered with lies...
Therefore, more and more scientists are gradually doubting the authenticity of "gods"... The "godless organization" led by Li Tu began to grow gradually.
Of course, with the idea of "gods" deeply ingrained, such people are only a minority.
This kind of organization is even more shady than the underworld. Once discovered, the members inside will definitely die.
Li Tu’s biggest goal is...
Overthrow the "gods"!
Because the gods have greatly hindered the development of science, "If we don't overturn it, there will be no new world and no future!"
Religion and science have similarities but also completely different aspects.
Religion and science are both things established by humans to explain the world.
However, religion is built from the top down, while science is built from the bottom up. This is the fundamental contradiction. When it develops to a deeper level, it will become incompatible.
In order to explain the world, religion first gives a conclusion - everything is because of "God"!
Because of God, everything in the world is explained.
This approach undoubtedly gives intelligent beings the power to stabilize, gives them faith, and makes them look forward to the coming of God... However, this kind of crude thinking also causes many problems. Not only does it put people in a passive state,
We can only look forward to the coming of God and God's help; and it has also created a situation of ignorance, drowning many questions worth thinking about, and making it impossible to think further.
This is an inert and primitive way of thinking. Intelligent life always tends to use a simple and crude way to end thinking as soon as possible to achieve quick self-comfort. On the contrary, it is easy to give up another difficult but effective way of thinking.
This difficult but effective way of thinking... is science.
Science attempts to summarize complexity with simplicity.
Although there are many things that science cannot explain, it will never crudely attribute the unknown to "gods"...
Li Tu said in his organization: "So, the ignorance of the Dige people has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years. It was not until accidents happened again and again in the long river of time that modern science was born with difficulty, like a dystocia!
"
"But although science was born, it was still hindered by the gods."
Li Tu believed in the "doctrine of imitation". He believed that "gods" were just powerful creatures hidden in the ocean.
But he has no evidence and dare not say nonsense.
If you want to defeat the gods, you must have decisive evidence!
The best way is to... find out the true nature of God!
