Religion is an aftermath….of life’s arrival…says Dawkins and Cronin

But this is ..
Foolish and based on scientific materialism.
Dualism is the real consciousness connection.
If consciousness is accepted as a phenomenon different from matter , which it is , it needs examining.
Thus theological cultures present the natural conclusion that any origin of consciousness , namely God , would have the responsibility to introduce an educational experience to all the ever wondering particles of consciousness who find themselves enclosed in matter and having to deal with all the consequences that brings , that logical
If Divinity did not do so , that would be cruel.
There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever molecules themselves move towards life , in fact, the chemistry behind molecules are so inconceivably complicated in their own right , ask a synthetic chemist .All evidence points to Dualism , ie matter and consciousness as two different substances, along with the superior engineering from top to bottom of the machine like body , which points logically to an engineer but beyond our comprehension, although the more we look the more we see more and more sophisticated engineering.
Those advocates who sing the glory of scientific materialism fool only themselves and try to take their brand to the true unthinking . Best to study objective sciences and bypass subjective guessing that claims to be objective science..

How to know who is who in religious circles..

…if we find violence and hatred …this means the theologians and their religious representatives have it wrong.
Actually theological cultures of every kind have the systematic processes of gradual development of knowledge of mind , matter and consciousness that leads to pure consciousness..in all religions there are 1st class, 2nd class and 3rd class followers.
If anything is presented fanatically with hatred and intolerance, it’s because it’s being presented by 3rd class followers…who has little realisation of God’s consciousness ?
One should seek 1st class followers who understand God consciousness and the varied plights of the conditioned souls , and who can give a particular path to free them accordingly, they are of varying kinds depending on an individuals circumstances.
Practical applications are well understood by the Ist class representatives .Heaven and Hell preaching is a sign of a third class devotee.
In any religion, 1st class representatives should be sought, and their scriptures will tell them clearly their symptoms .common sense is required .
