Week 12- Problem of Being
Premise #1
“Where a material form is made up to function as one whole, though its parts may have come from anywhere (within an open system or closed), it may be assumed in the absence of precise location of several parts the form be tied to what drives the system. “

Our apeman ancestors at first lived as arboreal creatures swinging from trees while a group of antelopes (or their forerunners) grazed right close to them. They called these Wowee- wowee. They were then ponderous and dull creatures. Time passed. Our apeman went into the plains and then farther than they intended as a drought had made food scarce. One day a group of apemen went through a gorge but a boulder rolled down from top and killed a few under its impact. It made the party stop on their tracks; a few took up several splinters from the ground and stared at them with great wonder.
“Where did it come from?” One asked. The one who picked up a piece cut himself because he handled it carelessly. The upshot was that the group realized flint made an excellent weapon. After couple of trials- and hits and misses, they killed their first bison. Years later they went back to the savannah. They were amazed to see Wowee- wowee had trimmed themselves and had become excellent runners. Did their ability to kill animals made antelopes also shape up? Or a violent death by an accident impressed into their minds the potential of flint? There are clusters of ideas chance might tease of a mind sensitized to theorize. Any concept that a mind (given to abstract thinking) would formulate must be drawn from Cosmic Mind. As such how antelopes strike out their direction or a flint stone being invented as a weapon according to the premise are connected.
God doesn’t have to put nodules in rocks in order to test whether man will use it for good or bad purposes. Cosmic Mind fills any system closed or open and every species shall take what they will according to their own particular needs.

Notes:
1.Antelope are herbivorous mammals of the family Bovidae, often noted for their horns. These animals are spread relatively evenly throughout the various subfamilies of the Bovidae and many are more closely related to cows or goats than to each other. There are many species of antelope, ranging in size from the tiny Royal Antelope to the elands. They typically have a light and elegant frame, slender, graceful limbs, small cloven hoofs, and a short tail. Antelope have powerful hindquarters and, when startled, they run with a peculiar bounding stride that makes them look as though they are bouncing over the terrain like giant rabbits.
2. Flint (or flintstones ) is a hard, sedimentary cryptocrystalline silicate form of the mineral quartz, categorized as a variety of chalcedony and broadly part of the mineral group known as silicas. Flint is usually dark-grey, blue, black, or deep brown in colour, and often has a glassy appearance. It occurs chiefly as nodules and masses in sedimentary rocks, such as chalks and limestones.
The exact mode of formation of flint is not yet clear or agreed but it is thought that it occurs as a result of chemical changes in compressed sedimentary rock formations, during the process of diagenesis. ( Ack: Wikipedia)
