Where is the fast pace of "progress" in civilization taking us?
Let's look at some of the deeper issues, in Meditations offered by
Prof. Dr. I. Fayez M. Marai of Egypt:

Please note that new Meditations are first

Meditations on the miracles of nature may provide a means to true
happiness by fortifying faith in God. For instance, meditation on
Ether: the endless space where all heaven bodies are hung
while watching the sparkling stars during summer night in the desert,
the wonders of the underwater coral gardens and tropical coloured
fish through snorkelling or diving (as in the Red Sea), the petrified
forests from the Oligocene epoch from more than 15 million years ago
(as that found northwest of Cairo), or on the skeletons of whales
which existed over 40 million years ago (as those found in Whales
Valley in Fayoum, southwest of Cairo), all will end by the faith
in omnipotence of the Creator "The God".

Why does Darwin's Evolution Theory stop at Mankind,
without no further evolution?
|
Scientists mimicked a space environment by freezing a mixture of simple
compounds known to exist in interstellar space: water, methanol, ammonia
and carbon monoxide, to temperatures close to absolute zero, then exposed
it to harsh ultraviolet radiation. They got an oily residue composed of
hundreds of complex organic molecules that formed tiny hollow droplets that
resembled cell membranes (upon immersion of the organic molecules in water),
but far from being alive. The scientists think that similar structures could
be precursors of the first primitive life forms.
But, what about how to make them become alive?

Space is the uterus of all the astronomical bodies, in which they were created,
shaped, evoluted and maintained, while Earth is the uterus in which all kinds
of living beings were created, evoluted and maintained. But failure to find
similar types of life on other heavenly bodies may mean that man searches for
life in the wrong places.

The sun already shines 30 - 40% brighter than it did when it first entered
its present phase, and it will become more luminous. But, why have we not
been more successful in bringing to light those things which mankind
truly desires: comfort, peace and intimacy?
