There is a thread that runs through all of life. This thread attaches us to the balance. If we should disregard this thread, we run the risk of isolating ourselves from the very essence of life itself.
To explain: The Chief Executive of a large corporation may be remembered by the employees of a company. The Classical composer, artist, or writer is remember by all who move beyond the limitations of their environment?
To believe that our life is a series of chemical attractions, is to believe there we are simply a process in the continuing cycle of a natural process.
If we are but a part of the cycle, then our lives need to be determined by nature. We should live and die according to the rules of nature.
Nature does not segregate, and humanity must join the cycle. For us not to, is to isolate ourselves, and believe that a God exists beyond nature.
“.. fossil and archaeological records combine to show fairly clearly that our physical and cognitive attributes both first appeared in Africa…..”
