But where does the intelligence come from?

Because science explains everything as chemical coincidences that later evolved coincidentally into biology.

And coincidentally, while these microorganisms developed cellular structures (and bodies), they were sitting on a rotating bed of rock that coincidentally became habitable and the rock was then able to coincidentally unify the chemistry, the biology and the physics of it all.

All these coincidences then led to the emergence of all sorts of animals, including humans and drinking water and oxygen and trees.

And since that supposed Big Bang, we have had such physiological progression, and metaphysical evolution, naturally selecting each other to the point of developing electric cars and spacecraft in the hunt for other similarly habitable planets, while attempting to preserve the one that we have damaged through projected overpopulation and pollution.

We have also built these magnificent zoom lensed telescopes and placed them as satellites in orbit outside our rock to find other intelligent life out there to dispel the possibility that this spinning rock is not specially unique.

Yet, there is no explanation of the origin of intelligence that has advanced us this far from the start. Is that also coincidence? There is no intended design that got us here? I ask.

There has never been a testimony of the Big Bang. Its all conjecture. You can rationalise anything and everything and you inform everyone who cannot argue against this scientific fact that there is no better answer.

But I argue here; science, the same as religion is just as flawed. And we are all apologists.

The Creator Theory works on the basis of faith. And by definition, faith is believing without seeing. Science works on the belief of observable phenomena. If its not seen then it cannot be believed. Contra to religious faith.

And therein is the divergence and also the convergence of it all, faith on creation insists that yes; we can explain the observable phenomena because this is the intended design, from the same Creator that works, not only in mysterious or miraculous ways, but Himself created the science that holds it together, no?

Science carries no faith on the unseen. In definition, you have to observe something and test it / experiment and you have to proof it mathematically under the Laws of Physics, of Mathematical theorems and equations etc for it to be confirmed as scientific and believable fact. If you make a hypothesis, you have to proof/prove it.

So from a scientific lens you get stuck when you assess the Abrahamist beliefs. But Creation Theory then argues that, the same intelligence you are using, was specially created for you to understand what is within boundary, and for a time, until another spark of intelligence eventually arises, and then more is revealed to you, by The Creator.

So they insist that the progression of the species, is intended and intentionally designed. Our science tells us that the planet goes through phases of tilt, and the planet gets redesigned; every couple of millenia or millions of years the poles shift and all civilisation is lost.

So then the population of the planet gets re-adjusted at this circumstance?

The religions are alarmist about this and scream Armageddon and Apocalypse. But science tells them this is the physics of it all, and so we are stuck again.

Enter the Ancestral Apologism.

Yes we are not Middle Eastern. And the events that happened over there with Abraham and leading up to 1. AD and after that didnt have our collective participation.

Unfortunately us, the Africans and the Bantu, us being closest to the originals in the cradle of this humanity, we kept no written records of our own progression and the civilizations that we built. Sorry for that.

But we left a few rock paintings and we built the Pyramids, and we left some Hieroglyphics and some Papyrus scrolls, and some artwork near and at the Great Zimbabwe and we lived in harmony with nature for a very long time before we were disrupted by the Missionaries and the imperialists who arrived on the same ships to break apart our peaceful and occasional feuds.

But our belief is just as strong. And we know God uNkulunkulu as the Creator and the Divine Source, in our own way, and through our ancestors, we string all the way back to that source, with our generational granddaddies oMkhulu and Gogos from the past interceding and propagating into the future. They are the angels.

We hold our own beliefs and our own understanding of our place in the universe. We were forced to abandon all those beliefs in the past 400-300 years or so as we got traded as slaves to the Americas, to the Arabs, and the European imperialists.

We were colonised in every sense to the point that we now hold varying beliefs aligned to our chosen spiritual father and Major 1s on any given Sunday. Sometimes we tithe to receive annointed Vaseline.

They took our land and they placed themselves at the extractive and exploitative centre and took away all our knowing and outlawed our customs. They took away our cultural ability, our Spirituality and dignity, just so they could subjugate us. And for a long time they won, and may be still winning.

And they sought to stigmatize African spirituality.

And we received their distorted education, which they forced us to believe was superior to our own understanding, and we have now firmed up to the Western Science and we consider it the explanation of the natural order of life on this one Earth.

They called our belief systems speculative fictions and “pagan" and “heathen”. And they referred to us as savages. And we were forced to accept that we are a lesser class, that needed civilisation, and that we are inherently less intelligent, and we have no science of our own to hold a dispute against their wisdom.

We are not entertained. Good luck on Mars.
