@timur,
That's all circular to me tim. Including DD's ambiguity.
According to the Biblical version of evolution theory, short and snappy enough to be easily missed by inattentive readers, the priesthoods that were not accepted were in error and subsequent priesthoods studied what those errors were and how to avoid them. Thus improving the process, like giraffes improve their necks in order to reach the tenderest leaves, only a lot faster because we are more intelligent than giraffes who would never think of applying a chain saw or a ladder.
Hence, if evolution is taken as read, our priesthood ought to be the best there has ever been and the evidence of its efforts seems to bear that out.
I am at a loss to even speculate on how we got here from where we were a few thousand years ago if the last king had been strangled by the last priest's entrails at that time. M. Diderot was indulging himself I'm afraid although quite stylishly I'll admit.
Would you care to speculate on getting here from where we were.
What actually happened needs no speculations. I presume you are glad it did happen. I certainly am.
I think what bothers a lot of people is a felt disgrace for not knowing how such a momentous trick was pulled off. They cover it up to their own satisfaction with a pile of facile drivel chosen to fit the purpose.
You would never have heard of Henry Ford had it not been. And you can put posting on A2K right out of your mind so far that even Plato would have thought us aliens from outer space. Which some say we are.
