Origin of Idol Worship

Before cities were built man lived among bushes, children would play on and off the trees and had enough flowers to pluck from every bush they found some. When they wanted to rest on the ground they had the rocks to rest upon. However, they would carry their flowers with them and would spend time arranging these on the rocks. They had many things to do - make patters with flowers and leaves or decorate an oldly sitting smaller chunck of the rock. They could spend hours here and when the adults came looking for them they would take note of what kept them busy.

While at home, the children could demand playing out at odd hours and that would prompt the elders to show them rocks nearby or gather some stones for them in or around the house. If they could give it a shape, they sure would delight their little ones more. With rocks in proximity they are now not limited to flowers from bushes, they could bring in sticks and pebbles or ornaments used by elders to compensate for the effort required to find flowers when it was not the spring season. If the rock had some moss they could create patterns on it. If they had eyes and mouth drawn, they would also offer the food they eat. It would also be natural to put some light in front if it was dark.

How easy it was to mistake a decorated rock with eyes and mouth to be served as god. It also had the center of attraction if there was some light put around it. Now if men had given shapes to these rocks and were moving around, they would carry it with them to avoid redoing and recreating stuff that could keep their children engaged. It would have been natural for parents to join worship if the kids wanted to have a community worship.

Car Key Battery Replacement

If somebody tells you that car key battery replacement would cost you ₹450, and it sounds ridiculous to you, do not let somebody argue against that feeling. A cell for you car key would hardly cost ₹25 - ₹40. All you need to do is buy and replace the old one. However, most people would tend to think that these little devices that interact with your car and keep it safe, are gadgets that you should not meddle with it. Well, give it another thought. If you have a key and it’s duplicate and you need to change both you would end up paying about ₹850 for something that you can manage to do yourself. All these little devices, that do not have screws in them are things you can split open and push them back in place like no harm was ever brought to them. You do not have to be scared of thinking that you would break them. You may break them only if you do not check for orientation on certain bigger devices that may not fit in your palm, but for the smaller ones you can just pull t

Atheism Concepts Change with Geographic Location

1. The educated adopt atheism, due to blind faith in scientific declaration that end up as stupidity due to ignorance of many unconsidered parameters. They now become unanalytic brains, believing that instruments and machines measure everything. 2. The ignorant adopt atheism due his frustration with the false gods that he served. These gods could either be his own version of traditional gods or a god of his own creation. Scientific ideologies is not important to him. He is just escaping blind faith and now for him it is every human knowledge. Both lack or ignore the knowledge of the true higher power, that is the Almighty, and God of all things.

The Con and the Conch shell

The recent video on WhatsApp of the peculiar behavior of a conch shell, that finds it way to the surface when buried under a sack of rice grains may make some believe that the conch in itself has magical powers. The idea may not be farfetched as it's used as device to please gods in some of the eastern cultures in religious rituals. Some minds may immediately think that the shape of the conch itself may make the rice grains flow underneath the shell and since the flow must happen from the vicinity of the shell itself this would happen along it's surface and ultimately from it's top thus pushing the shell upward. In the west people would use computer graphics and probably fix camera to the conch shell to see the ground reality. Now if all those scientific experiments leave people clueless, the chemical engineers might pitch in to investigate if the shell reacts with the rice to form any gas that fill up the shell from the bottom and makes it rise above the rice in w
