It seems to me that the writers of the Bible were wrestling with the following problem (stemming from three interrelated human characteristics that separate us from all other animals):
-
We are conscious of our own mortality;
-
We know the difference between good and evil; and
-
Human society is almost always wicked.
That’s the paradox at the heart of Christianity. We are conscious of our own mortality and that brings with it existential dread (Genesis). We personally know the right thing to do going back to the Garden of Eden (also Genesis). Yet societies are almost universally wicked as evidenced by everything in the Bible (including the murder of the Messiah by the state with the blessing of the mob) and the history of “civilization”.
And the Bible solves for each of these problems. It argues that we chose our misery through disobedience to God. But we can be reborn and achieve eternal life through Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.
Most of my readers know this narrative better than I do.
But here’s why I bring this up. Consciousness, the knowledge of right and wrong, and the propensity for sinfulness have to be rooted in some physical structure of our brain. By now I feel like most people, including most Christians, accept the idea that humanity didn’t just land on Earth as fully-formed modern people. But that means that we likely evolved from the primordial sea. In which case we must have developed consciousness, ethics, and sinfulness through random variation in biological reproduction and viruses interacting and exchanging genetic material with animals (that, over billions of years, became what we know of as humans today).
So I’m basically the opposite of Team Viruses Don’t Exist. I’m Team Viruses Drive Human Evolution.
Viruses are everywhere. There are a quadrillion x quadrillion (10 nonillion = 10 to the 31st power) individual viruses on Earth — 100 million times more viruses on Earth than stars in the sky. And only about 200 of those contribute to disease in humans (so, contrary to popular belief, viruses as a class are surprisingly bad at killing us). The 10 nonillion minus 200 viruses that don’t kill us function as a sort of divine scratch pad for working out new models of life.
What most popular accounts of viruses miss is the beneficial exchange between viruses and animals throughout history. As Katherine Wu writes in National Geographic:
Viruses infiltrate every aspect of our natural world, seething in seawater, drifting through the atmosphere, and lurking in miniscule motes of soil. Generally considered non-living entities, these pathogens can only replicate with the help of a host, and they are capable of hijacking organisms from every branch of the tree of life — including a multitude of human cells.
In this interaction between humans and viruses sometimes bits of the viral genetic material are incorporated into the human genome and passed on to the next generation.
Even the BBC states, “Without viruses, humans could not have evolved.”
Estimates vary as to how much of the human genome originally came from viruses. Cold Springs Harbor Laboratory (usually busy with developing gain-of-function bioweapons) estimates that 8% to 40% of the human genome originally came from viruses. The NY Times also cites the 8% figure. This article claims that “40 to 80 percent of the human genome arrived from some archaic viral invasion” (citing a study in Current Opinion in Microbiology).
And two papers published in the journal Cell in January 2018 caused quite a stir by claiming that human consciousness itself stems from the insertion of bits of genetic material from viruses into animal genes.
This God-like potential for viruses to change the human genome was too much for the predatory billionaires to pass up. But what I’m curious about is whether Gates & the Biowarfare Junta are trying to solve the Christian paradox by physically changing people’s DNA? It’s the ultimate God Project.
Think about it:
Gates already lacks ethics and the knowledge of right and wrong. And he is hoping to become immortal through transhumanism — the merger of human consciousness with computers.
But when he looks out on the vast sea of humanity, I wonder if he’s trying to solve the Christian paradox through brute force — physically rewiring people at the genetic level so that they no longer have these three characteristics that make us human?
In an earlier era, philosophers and revolutionaries tried to solve the flaws in human nature via various -isms (stoicism, idealism, liberalism, romanticism, communism, conservatism, progressivism, etc.). Religion has tried to address these flaws through spiritual practice. But is Gates trying to solve this paradox on the molecular level by regressing humanity back into a more primitive animal state?
We already see that many of the Covid-vaccinated are struggling cognitively — they appear to have lost access to logic and reason. Thus far we have blamed this on fear or ideology. But what if it’s more than that? If Gates & the Biowarfare Junta could identify the regions of the human genome that code for consciousness and ethics, would they wipe them out? I think that’s the utopia they seek — turning messy flawed humans into something much more neat, predictable, and controllable — machines, software, or sheep.
Blessings to the warriors. 🙌
Prayers for everyone fighting to stop the iatrogenocide. 🙏
Huzzah for those who are building the parallel society our hearts know is possible. ✊
