First ever ideas

(I wrote this a couple years ago, the birth of The Christian Literary!)
The Christian Literary

The following ideas were spurred by my Uncle Mark who earlier, during the week I had written this, reminded me that Biblical scriptures say that God will never leave us or forsake us. Under the delicate light of a May moon, sipping at a rocks glass filled with red wine and smoking Turkish Silver Camel cigarettes I began to ponder. Not before long I found myself intrigued to explore a formula for achieving more sound reasoning regarding my most passionate topic.


I saw the constellations and thought about the fact that every human of every generation has looked upon the same stars and considered that God "will never leave me or forsake me". God has been with every person yet different cultures have dreamt up Gods like Zeus or the Indian elephant god with many arms. With my logic I still come to the conclusion that their gods just can’t be real. If I’ve never seen an elephant would Iever start obeying an elephant god? Zeus? Aphrodite? God is a ? Spirit? An all powerful being whose face was best represented by a man who claimed to love all and teach the epitome of love. Love naturally/logically brings peace, patience, kindness, compassion, does not envy. Although Christianity has become a brand, as the name Christ has become, take away the brand names and you have a creator and a man who loved. He believed that the power and love of the creator could accomplish all good and love through human beings who were willing to give in to the loving, compassionate part of their hearts. Unlike other gods Christ represented a god who didn’t govern the world to condemn and punish evil, but a god that wanted to serve His creation- provide everything for them like the best father in any culture. His discipline comes through scientific laws (gravity, material). Touch the fire, get burned. Don’t search for food or grow it, Starve. Don’t serve people, never experience the amazing connection birthed from service and love. Any human of any generation can meet this god. A girl raised in a Muslim home who considers being 1 of a man’s many wives can reject this idea and find a humble, loving serving, providing God. Erase the names and reputations of the people who claimed to serve this god - they never knew Him or served Him if they brought great evil into the world in his name. God’s character is revealed in selfless acts, the reason so many people of many generations WANTED to meet the God of the Bible. Jews and Christians claimed that their acts of love and service were done in His name so people wanted to know more. When a Christian or Jew commits evil in His name, the world hates their god. A god who made it our nature to love and serve to receive the greatest blessings and benefits of life, the spiritual world order, has this character and wove it into the physical laws of our world.The Higher Order
Just look around and notice that all organisms excrete waste. It could have been any other way. Stretch you imagination to its limits and consider that any other material or matter or laws of the universe could have formed, but we have a finite system where gravity rules and governs. We have a specific set of physics that would not necessarily have had to rule in any other reality of a universe. The fact that there are popular songs, that the #1 song is #1 on a chart and "appeals" to a majority proves an order. Life brought humans who "happen" to adore trees and animals. A creator who made each animal including humans and adored His creation, His reason for creating it, wired into human nature the inclination to adore trees, water, sunlight. Appreciating is a spiritual concept. Dogs, monkeys, birds are nourished by nature but humans have the capacity to appreciate and adore. This specific design leads me to believe there is a higher order, a specific purpose for the specific qualitites of our universe whether the creator used evolution or not to arrive at the thoughts capable of a human being. Though your mind may be altered by manufactured pills and man altered substances such as alcohol and cigarettes, these substances damage the body. Natural, fresh water, fruits, vegetables, nuts provide nourishment that sustains the body to its fullest potential- a specific natural order in the universe. Something so specific could not come from nowhere, nothing. Even the words "nowhere" and "nothing" are specific concepts that existed prior to the language that describes them. YES, perhaps different languages describe different realities of this universe, but once that language is understood, the meaning was a concept that was arrived upon - always existed. Inventions are things human beings "stumble upon", not new things. As long as the material was there to construct it, it was always possible since the beginning of known time, although matter only becomes "relevant as long as it is perceived, contemplated" a stimulus to a specific life form that can describe it.
Humans have developed technology of efficiency over the many centuries, decades, years, moments. There was a time according to Biblical scripture that described something infinitely/timelessly (no time) (forever) more efficient than now/today/yesterday/ever since: A time where man and women could eat at their leisure, enjoy constantly in the Garden of Eden. Their bodies were not challenged by toxins and any toxins were relieved by their state of leisure to eat what they desired as they pleased. Scientific study shows that our "processed" dead foods deplete our natural enzymes over time-raw, freshly picked food is full of enzymes. A body free of toxins and disease that engages in pleasurable exercise (encumbered by fatigue) that constantly consumes foods that appear appealing (books today written by nutritionists who eat raw foods can PROVE that the body dictates/leads a person to desire specific foods) lived forever. A break away from the natural order leads to death. The natural order seems to include affection PROOF = SEX.Humans will die in their first six months of life (babies) if never touched by another human. Humans have a kind of spiritual character that coincides with Bible: (Genesis-it was not right for man to be alone so God formed Eve from Adam’s rib).Adam alone, according to modern day science, would have died if it weren’t for the creation/realization of Eve. They touched each other --> RELATED on a physical level which ALSO provided a spiritual connection. Any presence of another human, especially their touch, accomplishes something the touch of any other animal could not/will not ever accomplish. Sure, evolution could have brought about humans, but humans describe these things in words with emotions. My question is: does a monkey need the touch and interaction of another monkey to survive?
