Good point Yindin, in fact this was (is) all based on astrology & astronomy. Later on economies political "heroes/leaders" turned it into spins/lies for the people. Of course, billions of "Gullibles 'R Us" fans over the world just want to turn the other cheek. In the end, it always comes down to $. & it never is pretty. I'm a worker next to a courthouse.

I know a lady whose God is Hitler.
She worship him every day. We humans can make a God out of any thing and every one. That may be the only freedom we have. Posted by Alcap, Sunday, 2 March 2008 7:18:30 AM

I luv the fact that Robert Ingersoll & Thomas Paine (among others) made a big-time joke of the evangelelical & political con-artistry. One can easily say they are basically "holding hands" with one another.

David you seem like an honest searcher so I mean this charitably but it doesn’t seem like you’ve really done much homework. Its great you’re reflecting on the biggest questions, but like in any area of knowledge there is no need to repeat other’s past mistakes or wrestle with problems that the greatest minds have already dealt with.
These are just one click away David. Godbless.

"and taking an identity of an single cell, in my case a liver cell(hepatocyte)...when I work independently...I set to wonder how did I know how to form this size and shape and function, and all hepatocytes to look so alike and together form shape, size, function of the 'liver'...which identical in most humans...and how would I know what my job was...and how did each muscle cell of the triceps do the same, and heart cell and brain...which looks different...when we all began from single parent cell ie zygote(egg-sperm)...was there some intelligent force that oversaw it all to correct place, size, form, function...I mean there has to have been some centralized control otherwise too much risk of variable results which I know does not often happen...and same to energy process driving independent intelligent activity..."
