GOD

Abiogenesis. The Origin of Life. That is what the scientists call it. Hmmmm.

See here's the thing. The scientific reasons for the beginning of life neither prove nor disprove the existence of Divinity as the Creator. Simply put, things could have occurred in any way that Divinity chose to spin it. And does not all history serve as an example that such Divinity clearly has a sense of humor?

As if a few billion years would mean anything to the Creator. Of Time.

It gets worse. Since the existence of Divinity cannot be shown by the scientific method, then what, pray tell, is the compelling reason for those with intellect to believe in such Divinity?

Wait for it.......

Because a belief in such Divinity has profound beneficial effects on the believer. It is good for humans to believe. Otherwise hubris gets in the way. Of everything.

Spiritual humility is the apple to the orange of organized religion. The first is an essential part of being human. Of seeing ourselves as part of the larger world. The second is about money and power. And hubris. Depends upon your perspective, I guess, but it seems to me that most organized religions are about usurping the power of Divinity for themselves.

Finally, a corollary to the Cartesian Proof. God exists because Life is better than TV.

Teamwork is more readily obvious in organizations at lower levels due to the simple expediency of getting the job done and going home.  All are working for the same goal, regardless of experience or pay scale.   Higher levels in organizations, contrarily, exhibit behavior of a far more competitive nature, which in many cases is either openly or covertly supported by the organization itself, in the belief that such an environment will cause the cream to rise to the top.  In all cases, such an environment is justified by those at the top of the organization with the mandate of cashing out to the maximum while it is their turn at the wheel.  It seems fairly obvious that none of these brainstormers is focused a whole lot on the future.  When you think about it that way it is a   wonder that things get done at all.  Nor do present circumstances seem surprising.
