By the way: where/what is Heaven? Not too
long ago Heaven was a screen with stars fastened onto it. Later there were
movable spheres moving independently round making spheric music etc. etc.
Today we know (or better THINK WE KNOW) that
the limits of the Universe are more than 13.000.000.000 lightyears away. That
is pretty far as light moves at a speed of 299 792 458 m a
second or around 300.000 kilometers a second. If we are in the middle (which is
unthinkable – why should we be in the middle of the Universe?), from one end to
the other there are more than 26.000.000.000 lightyears.
The light we THINK we can «see» started on its way to
Earth more than 13.000.000.000 million lightyears ago. What was there that long
ago definitely is not there now.
Our species has named itself homo sapiens sapiens as if we
are unique in this world. Maybe we are unique but probably not in the way we
think. The bacteria were here long time before us together with lots of other
creatures. Some of them have disappeared (e.g. the dinosaurs), but many of them
are still here.
Homo sapiens sapiens is extremely clever making systems
even when there are no systems, only coincidences. Religion is one example.
Religions are ubiquitous and different, most of them claiming that they are the
only true religion. What is wrong with people who presume to know what they do
not know? Atle does not even want to try to find an answer to this enigma.
Homo sapiens sapiens likes to extrapolate variables from
facts he knows. From 1927 to 1977 the height of Norwegian men increased from
171.7 to 179.4, that is about 1.5 cm a decade. (see http://www.ssb.no/a/publikasjoner/pdf/sa94/del-v-1b.pdf
) If we extrapolate this backwards some 1.000 years, Norwegian men would have
been 29,4 cm back in 977. Everybody knows this is wrong. Neither will
Norwegians grow into Heaven in the future.
Concerning climate change scientists like to extrapolate
temperature data. They are free to do so, and it is difficult to disagree as it
seems to be consensus on this topic. We should be aware that this is corrupted
science. Science is about facts, not about extrapolating facts.
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has now reached 400 parts
per million or 0.04 %. ( see http://climate.nasa.gov/400ppmquotes/
) This is up from 340 in 1980. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_in_Earth%27s_atmosphere#Measuring_ancient-Earth_carbon_dioxide_concentration
IF there is a correlation between temperature on Earth and
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, it seems that the leaders who met in Davos
some time ago to discuss among other things climate issues, do not care about
these «facts» as the 1.900 leaders went there in 1.700 private airplanes instead
of using commercial airlines. HOW CAN THEY THINK WE WILL CARE WHEN THEY CLEARLY
SHOW THEY DO NOT CARE?
With the existing political systems and the political
leaders it seems we, the people in this world, are in deep shit. We are
hostages in systems which do not work in a sustainable way.
No wonder why homo sapiens sapiens seems to find a safe
haven in religion.
