Today’s Episode: The “Big Bang” (The Big Bang), The Universe,
The Human and Corruption
As we promised in the previous article, the time has come to address the emergence of the Universe and life, including the human being, specifically from the perspective of Evolutionary Theory.
In this and the next articles, I will follow the Aristotelian style of teaching, with didactic and simplicity.
So I’m going to draw a timeline as if I’m telling the summary of history in a decreasing timeline because the only certainty any human being has is about the past. The future, as we all know, could end up in the arms of a virus that even infinitely, microscopically smaller than us, can cast humanity into the arms of death.
As a matter of fact, from what I have just written, I find it difficult to understand people who belch arrogance and arrogance because of the material goods they possess; as well as poor and proud people, being how actor Chris Rock classifies his mother in “Everybody hates Chris.”
There are people who think they are full and there are full people who are empty from spouting their content because they are surrounded by the ignorance that human beings have, like Venom (a fictional character in the Spider-Man comics). As soon as covered by ignorance, these beings victimize each other as if connected and create a protection network against education, teaching, and the evolution of science.
A very few of those ignorant people who win the opportunity of 15 minutes of fame with millionaire awards become the voice and mirror of more than 70% of humanity, who dream of equal opportunity.
The Theory of Evolution shows that life is competition for food, shelter, water and to escape the long but certain catastrophes that led millions to extinction. So far, history is told as a struggle for survival in which the most adaptable, not the strongest, has persisted, given that few beings have ever been discovered by paleontology were stronger than Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Thomas Hobbes, One of the First Philosophers to Systematize the Theory of Evolution and Pave the Way for Charles Robert Darwin to Do It Masterfully, did not give up the concept that life on Planet Earth is a “war of all against all.”
I know that the simple mention of Charles Darwin’s name makes some people give up on reading further, due to hatred they ignorantly cultivate this naturalist, biologist, philosopher, and scientist.
It was deliberate that religious people spread that Darwin denied God in his studies to systematize the Theory of Evolution, but anyone who reads his book “Origin of Species” (I’ve done it at length for 3 times), the first manual on evolutionism, may be surprised by everything and especially with the last 3 pages in which he seems to write a lyrical poem praising the “supreme creator of bacteria”.
The fact is that between the Big Bang (the first and monumental cosmic explosion that gave rise to it all) and our days, according to the carbon dating technique, more than 13 billion years have passed since the energy of the explosion continues to create and destroy celestial bodies in this cosmos where our astronomers and astrophysicists already catalog more than 3.4 billion galaxies, some much larger than our own Milky Way.
Inhabited, until now, it seems that only Planet Earth, and around here, among the known species, humans have won the dispute over the others, in the daily war of all against all, whether because of the food chain in which the frog eats the mosquito, the snake eats the frog, the eagle eats the snake, the human being eats everyone and viruses, and bacteria, sooner or later eat humans.
The other day, I commented to a colleague that the human being is the blessing and the curse of Planet Earth, and he replied by saying that he only sees us as a curse. He asked me which blessing does human beings brought to the Earth if their mark is the systematic destruction of their own habitat? I think this is a point of view that deserves to be considered.
It is this story that has human beings as its central character and their incredible mania for corrupting everything and everyone, which I intend to keep telling for the next few episodes, until we reach the days of this Covid-19 pandemic and see manifestations, especially by politicians, the categorical human species that, despite being in a much smaller number than the others, evolves in the technique of “killing” its fellow creatures with a smile on its face and, even so, hearing the victims say “thank you ”.
The pain that corruption with public money inflicts on Brazilians and people from several other countries, on a daily basis is stamped on the faces of more than 70% of the population who live in misery and social and economic poverty, spread across the compass rose of Brazil that have always had and continued having everything (human and natural resources) to be a power, and which for over 500 years has been a shame, a reason for laughter and mockery among the community of Nations.
I’ve traveled to three continents, I’ve been to more than 25 countries and more than 55 cities, some of which I’ve stopped for longer and, believe me, the name of Brazil is associated with joy, but above all with the political corruption that undermines daily our vocation for the development of a fairer society.
As Mark Twain, who for reasons known to reason is my favorite North-American writer, says, “…of all animals, man is the cruelest. The only one who inflicts pain for pleasure.”
Next Wednesday, the next episode. Don’t miss it, or miss it if you like. If the virus or bacteria don’t eat me before, the article comes out!
