I don't have a last name. I had to delete the made-up one - the Chekists made me do it.
For those who believe in global warming - forget it, get your valenki ready
I have no idea why you had to quote my last post and what it has to do with global periodic climate change on this planet... :)

Sorry on the wrong button.
I would also like to remind you that according to the ancients, the world spontaneously arose out of chaos,
or rather, first out of chaos came the original deity who created the original world and then the new gods,
then the new gods kill the first deity and create the world as it is now.
(see Enuma Elish, Heliopolitan cosmogony, Greek myths, Germanic-Scandinavian, Hinduism and almost any cosmogony of any nation) -
the plot is almost the same, everywhere there's water, the primordial ocean, chaos, as the primordial essence out of which everything spontaneously emerges,
it's an intuitive idea of the ancients about the origin of life,
later religions simply retold the same story, including the Bible,
it also says that "the spirit of God hovered over the water",
and that generally these savage notions correlate with the scientific view of the emergence of life from water,
but in a symbolic, poetic way, of course,
it's very important to note that in the ancient myths there are marshes or springs of some kind,
This can reflect the fact that civilization developed in the vicinity of rivers and fertile soils (Nile, Mesopotamia, Indus...)
also a very important point in any myths practically -
the killing of a primary deity - and by his own offspring,
often in the form of a dragon or a giant,
the killing of Tiamat by Marduk in Sumerian mythology, the killing of Ymir in Germanic mythology, Purushu in Hinduism, etc.
is a symbolic sacrifice, then the dismemberment of the primary deity and the creation of the world from his body,
then the new gods suffer the same fate before the next generation of gods,
it's a titanomachy plot - the massacre of the Titans in Greek, the Jotuns in Germanic mythology, the Fomorians in Celtic...
but sometimes murder is not understood as murder, but as imprisonment or overthrow,
we can conventionally divide two eras in mythmaking:
1 - the age of ancient chaos - the kingdom of the dragon and the giants
2 - the era of a new order - the kingdom of new gods.
of course new gods are killed each time and replaced by newer ones ))))
perhaps this is a symbolic retelling of the victory of some nations over others...
but the defeated dragon pops up from time to time:
it's also the serpent Apop, who devours the Sun every night,
it's even the biblical Leviathan and even the dragon of the Apocalypse,
these plots seem to say, or hint, that the age of chaos is never gone forever,
and there's a kind of periodic or episodic cyclicity,
there is even a plot of confrontation with the dragon of chaos on the coat of arms of Moscow,
I won't describe it here in detail, but it also goes along these lines,
in short, the ancient chaos is not completely defeated, it's still present in the world,
and it's probably not defeated as a matter of principle,
you could make a parallel and call chaos evil and the other side good,
but that's too simplistic an approach, suitable only for monotheism with its dichotomous classification,
it's much more interesting to see it as a fundamental confrontation between two archetypes:
chaos is self-organisation and freedom, and the deity with the spear (usually the thunderer) represents royal power,
that is, it is a confrontation between decentralized and centralized power, democracy and despotism,
in this vein, it is clear why "chaos" cannot be defeated, and the cyclical return and departure is a change of historical epochs...
it's also interesting to note the consistently permanent sacralisation of royal and generally any centralised power,
it's reflected in the symbols that are exploited and they're of course taken from ancient mythology,
I won't go into it too much, but there are parallels that are better left uncovered...
in a nutshell, centralized power often constructs its myth to "mentally structure" its subjects,
the sacralization of the source of power and its "divinity" or "chosenness" is a central theme of official mythology,
it's easy to see why considerable effort is put into sacralisation -
because usually no rational explanation can be found for the established order,
and if you can't do it on the rational level, you have to do it on the irrational level,
because the irrational component is always present, both in ancient times and now...
I read your clever musings and do not even know how to react: it would seem educated, not deprived of intelligence and have some bullshit that has no relation to the subject at all, having no relation to Christianity in particular.
It would seem that what could be easier for educated and intelligent people to take the primary source and read at least the first few pages. After all, no one hides the essence, this essence is available to anyone: Adam and Eve lived in paradise, and then tasted the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The rest of the text, worshipped by several billion people, deals ONLY with good and evil. And there is nothing else in these texts!
PS.
In the Sermon on the Mount: blessed are the poor in spirit.
Your spirit is filled with a huge pile of rubbish. Free your spirit from the rubbish, become beggars and you will have the ability to at least understand the meaning of mankind's greatest literary monument dedicated to GOOD AND Evil. At the very least.

Are you referring to the ancient tales of the shepherdsas the original source ?
If Adam and Eve are the first people on earth - then we are all Jews. Including the entire population of Africa and the Northern Eskimos. "Adam and Eve lived in paradise and then tasted the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil" - do you, as an educated person not lacking in intelligence, believe in this beautiful nonsense?
All religions are assembled like a construction set from the same elements.
A virgin with an immaculate conception is usually found everywhere. Usually the son of God does a lot of wonderful things, including raising the dead. Slandered and betrayed this man dies a martyr's death.
And who ascended to heaven to his own father at his father's call .
Try to guess who I was just talking about ?
