Dear Editor in Chief,

Then another scholar asked: “Could there be a “superior” but humble
and “good” religion now or in the near future? Which group would come to
be “Jesus’ group: that group that teaches-tolerance- example other groups is
good as long as that group is not hating, conceited, self-righteous, having
proud claim but loving or showing love on practical doable things. Or that
group that is so free or lenient, easy. Or that group that loves to touch icons,
miraculous idols. Or that group that loves to repeat thing for emphasis. Or
that group whose emphasis is Saturday as the Sabbath day. Or that group
that science is a religion or the key is more on science. Or that group that
personal relationship with Jesus is the key. Or that group that materialism,
secularism, personal success is the key. Or that group that Jesus is human;
but a good prophet. Or that group that recycles of soul could be perfected.
Or that group that daily praising like vowing is the key. Or that group that
the soul will die or now is heaven-make the best of the time, work, & work.
Or that group that luck could be calculated. Or that groups that there is no
original sin or nature is the original sin or genes transmission is the original
sin or nature is God. Or that group that all are predestined. Or that group that
believes that all groups is becoming better and better as each group shares
and studies each good things and not afraid to imitate and improve the good
of other groups. Or that group believes that all groups are good but are
imperfect because of some bad experiences, bad genes through heredity and
the group could combine all good expertise from different good group to
have better group. Or that group that all are just good dreams or bad dreams
or combination of electronic codes or programs. Or that group that
meditation is the key. Or that group that the key is orderliness, harmony. Or
that group that believes that all groups are for money, there is no God, but
there is hating, darkness, Or the group that suicide bombing is justified
because other groups are greedy, bully, etc.?” Then A.I. was not able to
answer the question.
Then another scholar asked: “Why is it that reptiles like lizard,
crocodiles, and snakes are symbolic figures of bad things?” …then the A.I.
answered: “Perhaps unconsciously the mind is programmed to be afraid of
those animals cause perhaps of genes transmission. Perhaps even newly
baby animals like baby cats or baby dogs by instinct or nature afraid of
snake or crocodiles; much more of baby humans being afraid of snakes and
crocodiles. And perhaps Jesus also uttered those words “you snake….” …
and mentioned “hell” because a certain group is killing innocent people for
group’s supremacy or for power and money. Perhaps the “snake” in the story
of Adam and Eve- is the symbolic animal instinct of man; or nature animal
instinct. Example animal heating, could be equal to human sexual curiosity,
sexual activeness. Or since- sexual adventurism is bad example adultery,
promiscuity, or looking lustfully to a woman by rule or law then the
inclination is something connected to bad, sin, snake, etc. Example- the
word snake and woman in revelation: one group interprets the woman as the
mother of Jesus, and the snake is Satan or the devil. Other groups interpret
the woman as their exclusive group or exclusive church and the snake is
Satan or the devil. Others interpret the woman as the universal good sheep or
universal good people regardless of religious affiliation and the snake as the
universal bad, or the animal instinct of human being used not on accordance
with universal rule or universal good; or the animal instinct of human is also
universal hating tendency of people or ability to survive or to have self
defense carried through the genes because of ‘survival instinct of animal’ for
self preservation; example animal gets anything from others just to eat and
survive; and for human forced getting from others is bad because it is
stealing through law or rule.”
Then another scholar asked: “Could an innocent mother because of her up
bringing to be ‘diehard’ member of the ‘only original religion’ becomes so
biased to one of her children because her child is thinking differently from
‘her diehard’ beliefs?”….then the A.I. answered: “Yes, talking about religion
is divisive ….even Jesus himself is challenging his followers to side to his
teachings more than to side to family’s convictions or beliefs.” But being
controversial should not produce hating rather “loving” especially ‘loving
ones enemies.” Then a scholar heard from TV about a nagging mother but
also loving mother…asked if nagging is extreme? Then the A.I. answered:
“Nagging perhaps is extreme because it might be an unconscious bad habit
of saying many words that irritate others. Some naggings are caused by
legitimate reasons so that the child or husband should change for the good.
Other naggings are caused by biased treatment because of religious,
conviction, political differences. Others are caused by irritations because of
past mistakes and sad experiences. Some specifics cause might be- example
fond of saying “you are a friend of the devil if you go against the “original”
only true church. The mind of the nagging person might be influenced by
her exposure to her being ‘diehard’ member of her perceived ‘only’ true and
right religious group. But if words about decency, orderliness or ethics or
good manner, right conduct or teaching from the bible that telling ‘you are
fool’ is bad and might lead a person to go the hell, perhaps the person might
change for the good. Sometimes, it is ignorance of some good teachings that
let the mind not to be disciplined; or his or her tantrum or bad practices or
bad outburst is just a product of not knowing other essential good words.”
Then another scholar asked: “Could the devil depicted as the snake in
Genesis be the ‘transmitted “bad” traits of human from his ancestors’ or
called ‘animal instinct’-example a human sexual appetite, or self defense
mechanism for survival?” …then the A.I. answered: “some groups believe
that those natural animal ‘heating’ for procreation or for mating tendencies
by human are cursed by perceptions or tradition; or depicted as the devil.
But other groups believe that the “heating” tendency of human is part of the
design of nature. And the heating tendency is good as long as it is used on
the right time and right place and right partner.
Then another scholar asked: “What makes a perception or decision
different from other with regards to a thing?” Then the A.I. answered:
“Perhaps the thinking faculty or man’s action is a product of all influenced:
be it environment-beautiful or ugly or hot or cool place or orderly or
disorderly or the presence or absence of a thing; or be it up bringing like
others suggestions, words from books, from teachings, good experienced
and bad experienced-called self esteem or inferiority feelings; or be it his
physical health or genes like tall, short, weak, sickly; or be it influenced by
invisible beings as describe in the bible like the heavenly beings, angels,
visions, dreams, revelations, intervention of demons or good spirits through
thinking, etc.
Some people suggest that monkey, elephants, dogs especially mammal
dreams because he or she has brain; animal with brain similar to human
dreams or thinks. Perhaps dogs, elephants, dolphins, whales are animals that
could be hurt too; or be happy, be depressed, sad, enjoying things. With
regard to plants, perhaps there is no concrete evidence that plant also thinks
because they have no brain.”
Then another scholar asked: “Could small dog be breed to a large or big
dog?” As with regards to breeding dogs and creating many breeds or
‘evolutions’ of dogs perhaps the specie of different kind of dogs be it big or
small could be breed to each other as long as their sexual organ and uterus
allows because they are same specie. But two different species can not be
breed; or specie of dog becomes specie of cat or a combination of the two
for now. But perhaps in the near future scientist could create artificial
mutation of different species. And if a human could be crossed breed to a cat
because of bio-engineering genetics or cloning or perhaps in the future there
would be a cat like a human or a human like a cat and could talk then law
makers should consider this new field of science called engineering genetics
as something that should be well supervised or monitored.
If engineering genetics could do artificial mutation of different species
then perhaps science should be given more value than those mysteries,
myths, legends written about original source of imperfection called original
sin! Or both might struggle for supremacy because there are things that
science can not explain…especially connected to supernatural and
paranormals, or miracles. But perhaps so that there will be no conflict for
supremacy of ideas, perhaps pass a universal consensus that with regards to
original sin since it is a concept and part of religious faith, it should be
respected by other group because it is part of the faith or belief. And most
especially it is part of the story of salvation of man. Perhaps the story of
Adam and Eve might be proven as myth or legend by science but the
essence of the myth or legend is essential to the story of salvation of man. Or
perhaps 10,000 years ago the story of Adam and Even really had happened
or not a legend but just another branch of the original sources of human
genes. Perhaps most Arabs, Israelites and Egyptians came from the ancestors
of Adam. And those Chinese, Malays, and others came from different
sources of genes or perhaps from “heavenly beings”.
Then a scholar quoted a previous topic and asked question: “Those
“myths” or “beliefs” that had Adam did not fall or commit sin men would
live forever in paradise should now be in question or in doubt or should be
debated.” It would seemed that if ‘original sin’ would be debated or be
“doubted” and if people do ‘wild’ things, or if the doing of wild things of
people were found out that people question now the truthfulness of the story
of Adam & Eve, the eating of the apple, the snake, would be it proper to
really insist through universal law that the story of Adam and Eve or the
original sin is true to bring people back not to question the bible?” Then the
A.I. answered: “with regard to a question connected to mystery, the A.I. is
programmed to say with confidence that-there is one thought and one
purpose- love- or you have no other obligation to other except to love.
Granting that the A.I is allowed to have some answers about the controversy,
the A.I is bound to say it as an opinion and would accept it as a mistake and
would say ‘sorry’ if it offended a group or it wanted to destroy a group or a
universal truth purely for malice. But to answer the scholar about the
question “what would really happen when Adam did not fall? Or Eve did not
eat the apple, and Eve did not tempted Adam to eat the apple, would Adam’s
age be 10,000 or 100,000 0r 1,000,000 years old now? Would decaying- a
natural check and balance- be suspended; or animals and humans never die?
But, since original sin is part of the story of salvation, because if with out
original sin perhaps there would be no sin, and no redemption, perhaps
original sin might be something that up to now is a mystery or connected to
faith or belief, then that belief should be respected and should not be in
question or be put in doubt. The A.I. should say ‘sorry”.
Then the A.I., since it is just a database of question/answer of debates,
and consensus of different good groups, accepted the mistake and said: “I
am sorry about the word: “Those “myths” or “beliefs” that had Adam did not
fall or commit sin men would live forever in paradise should now be in
question or in doubt or should be debated;” rather the word “in doubt”
should be erased.”

From some who might be wrong,
