Chapter 48: The Doctrine of Imitation

"I have an idea, you can hear it......"

It was Professor Heigl who spoke, and she nodded at the screen, and a series of documents popped up.

"Have you noticed that in this series of stories, the power of the 'sea god' has become greater and greater?"

"From the small fish and shrimp in ancient times, to all kinds of gold and jewelry in the back, it seems that the Digs have everything, it can be taken out in one go. This gives the natives the illusion that the 'Umoru, the god of the sea', is omnipotent and very wealthy!"

"Actually, can this process be seen as the process of intellectual development of 'Gaia creatures'?

"After all, the slowness of the growth of this creature should not be measured by our time......"

"It's been making slow progress over the years...... Even in the last few hundred years, cold weapons have appeared! This is very unbelievable! ”

Yu Yifeng nodded, it sounded a little reasonable, but he couldn't help but ask out loud: "So, what is the matter with the wrath of the sea god - tsunami?" Is it venting its emotions? ”

Professor Heiger shook his head: "Tsunamis are nothing more than natural phenomena caused by earthquakes!" According to my conjecture, this nascent Gaia consciousness was directly dispersed by the huge tsunami! This also led to the fact that for a long time it could not respond to the Diggs, and no miracles were produced. ”

"If that's the case, Gaia creatures might be a little more fragile than we think...... Its self-consciousness was actually washed away by the tsunami! ”

"I see! It's a parody! ”

Dr. Rimbaud suddenly screamed excitedly, interrupting Professor Heigl.

"Everything it does, it's imitation! It's all just a simple imitation! ”

"We shouldn't think about things so complicated, some kind of behind-the-scenes people, acting as gods...... Completely non-existent! This Gaia creature is like a silly robot that simply mimics the Diggers! ”

"If you think about it, the Digg people dug a pit and buried the food in it, and it did the same by digging a big pit and burying a large amount of food in it...... As a result, he became a god in the eyes of the natives! ”

"What a pious person will receive a gift from the god of the sea, fart! It's just an act of imitation! ”

"As for ...... The story of being healed from illness, surviving in the sea, and falling into the sea with a ball of light...... Inexistent! Or is it just some kind of coincidence that has been forcibly attributed to the head of the Gaia creature! ”

Rimbaud spoke out loud all the conjectures. For a moment, everyone was stunned......

……

It's not just newcomers who are smart, of course......

Even the Diggs had this idea a long time ago.

"Curiosity" is the common emotion of every intelligent life. From ancient times to the present, there have always been Dige people who will wonder: what is the "sea god"? Do you live in the sea? Does it look the same as them? Is it really omnipotent?

Such curiosity has led many people to try to find out the truth about the sea god. Although this "attempt" is actually an act of blasphemy, because according to religious regulations, God is omnipotent and inscrutable.

But there are still Dig people, who want to substitute the perspective of the sea god, and they make a lot of guesses based on the various behaviors of the "sea god Umoru......

Some of these conjectures, in favor of the ruling class, were adopted by religion and turned into various scriptures.

But some other ...... Became a heretic, of course.

For example, the "doctrine of imitation" is the most famous and rebellious doctrine, which appeared 2,000 years ago.

According to this theory, the "sea god" is merely imitating people's movements. The "Poseidon" is a powerful creature, but it may have a low sense of self and no mind of its own.

The miracles that have actually occurred are nothing more than imitations of the actions of the Diggs......

Of course, this rebellious thought, no matter what age it is, is an absolute act of blasphemy, and it provokes the wrath of the Holy See. Whether it is the common people or the upper class, they feel that "God" is elusive and indescribable, how can it be just a powerful creature?

So two thousand years ago, this heretical purge, supported by almost everyone, advocated the "doctrine of imitation", was burned at the stake......

Although these pioneers left the world early, this doctrine of imitation has been passed down and spread widely in the hearts of some blasphemers......

Until modern times, a great scientist appeared...... The world has finally taken its biggest turn.

Dig's Li Tu, 38, is a top theologian and biologist, and it takes not only talent but also luck to get to where he is.

His recent research has focused on complex algae in the ocean.

What no one knows is that under the bombardment of various waves of thinking, the theologian Li Tu turned out to be an extremely rare "atheist"!

Even, the leader of an "atheist organization"!

Perhaps every civilization has had the emergence of "maverick" individuals who have tried to change this chaotic and helpless world.

Among them are many successful people, who have become real heroes.

But most of them are losers......

How difficult is it to change a world?

We need opportunities, we need luck, we need time, and we need good places.

But now, the scientist Li Tu believes that the opportunity ...... Finally appeared!

Opportunity...... It's the development of science!

As time went by, the Diggers went deeper and deeper into the various branches of science, but they found more and more loopholes in the interpretation of religion, and there was a tendency to be out of place.

Although the current religion has been reforming and changing to adapt to the trend of the times, there are still loopholes in this kind of untrue thing, no matter how much it is covered with lies......

Therefore, more and more scientists gradually doubt the authenticity of the "gods...... The "godless organization" led by Li Tu began to grow gradually.

Of course, when the idea of "gods" is deeply rooted, such people are only a minority.

This kind of organization is even more shady than the underworld, and once discovered, the members inside will definitely die.

Li Tu's biggest goal is to......

Overthrow the "gods"!

Because of the gods, the development of science has been greatly hindered, "without overthrowing, there will be no new world, there will be no future!" ”

Religion and science have similarities and distinct differences.

Both religion and science are things that humans have built to explain the world.

However, religion is established from the top down, and science is from the bottom up, which is the fundamental contradiction, and when it develops into the depths, it becomes incompatible.

In order to explain the world, religion first gives a conclusion - everything is because of "God"!

Because of God, everything in the world is explained.

This practice undoubtedly gives the intelligent life the strength to settle down, gives them faith, and makes them look forward to the coming of God...... However, this kind of rough thinking also creates a lot of problems. It is not just that people are in a passive state, and they can only hope for God's coming and God's help; And it has created a situation of ignorance, drowning out many questions worth thinking about, and not allowing for further reflection.

This is an inert, primitive way of thinking, and intelligent beings always tend to use a simple and crude way to end thinking as soon as possible, to achieve quick self-comfort, but it is easy to give up another difficult but effective way of thinking.

This hard but effective way of thinking ...... It's science.

Science, which tries to summarize the complex in terms of conciseness.

Although there are many things that cannot be explained in science, it will never rudely attribute the unknown to "gods......

Li Tu said in his organization: "Therefore, the ignorance of the Dig people has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years. It wasn't until the long river of time that modern science was born with difficulty, just like a difficult birth! ”

"But although science was born, it was still hindered by the gods."

Li Tu believed in the "doctrine of imitation", and he believed that the "god" was just a powerful creature hidden in the ocean.

But he had no evidence and didn't dare to talk nonsense.

If you want to defeat the gods, you need conclusive evidence!

There's no better way to do that...... Find out who God is!
