Bible Question:
Based on History- what is the origin of man burying our own dead? I'll explain my reason for asking this question after reading responses. Thanks, Jeff |
Bible Answer: Sister Azure, Thanks for your response. I guess I shouldn't have been expecting many to respond to such a basic, biblical no-brainer. Thanks for alerting me by email to give my reason for asking the question as promised. Simply put- I walked through the lobby outside my office the day I posted the question and was interested to see several patients sitting there watching the "Discovery Channel" on TV. They were pretty much fixed on the program which was one of those shows describing and explaining Earth's history. This particular program was about "prehistoric" man. The program posited that the origin of man's use of burying our decesed quite logically resulted from the following senerio. In the very well produced scene, a small girl lays on the ground unconscious and suspected dead while an adult female lays next to her absolutely dead. One caveman spears a dear while another whatches the dear lay on the ground breathing it's last breath while at that very moment the girl coughs and begins to move. You guessed it; the caveman believes that the life of the dear passed across the open space and entered the girl. Long story short- in their attempt to wait for something else to die and pass it's breath to the truly dead adult female they eventually cover her with sticks and stones in order to keep the vultures from eating her flesh. The human burial is born. In the whole process man's (caveman's that is) thinking begins to adjust to perceiving a spiritual power greater than himself that "doesn't really exist" but allows him to learn to better cope with the seemingly hopeless realities of life on planet earth. This belief, the program goes on, eventually leads man to creat the existance of God in his own mind. Absurd we might say. But this was an obviously well funded and well produced "educational" program that, I'm willing to bet, is or will soon be shown in our public school class rooms. And to think they only needed to go back go Genesis for the truth. My question was out of curiosity of how many who participate on the forum might have been confused by the SATANIC excuse we call education these days. I'm not really sure whether the lack of response to my question is a good thing or not, however, I was encouraged by your immediate response with an answer actually based on fact. I guess in today's academe most have become bored with facts and truth in favor of making it up as they go. Thanks for participating, Jeff |
