Chapter 1215: Background
Stark and Norman Osborne are both atheists, and they both have a "they are just another life" mentality about the so-called "gods".
Stark stroked his mustache and said a little strangely, "Well, even if there is a group of people who kill all those 'gods'......
What does that mean?
The earth is actually the best for us without those 'gods'!
Religion has hindered the development of science in a sense, and perhaps it is because of the absence of 'God' that we have come to this point. ”
Professor Wilson glanced at Alvin thoughtfully, and he smiled at Stark and said, "What you say makes sense, but why don't you want to think about what the purpose of those 'immortals' is to do this?"
In a sense, they are not fundamentally different from the gods, but of course, they are more powerful......
But where did they go? ”
Alvin listened to the somewhat ghostly interface and said: "They burned their souls at the end, engraved runes against 'fate' at the core of the earth, and made the earth the place where the 'light of freedom' was launched......
They 'kill' and 'expell' the gods in order to allow humanity itself to take charge of its own future......"
Saying that, Alvin looked up and shook his head in surprise, looked at Professor Wilson with a surprised expression, and said, "This is what I have summarized from the information I have obtained from Asgard and some other places, and I don't know if it is true.
But those 'immortals' have never appeared in our history, nor have they ever interfered in our history.
They seem to prefer human beings to go out of their own way step by step!
Instead of asking humans to walk according to their planned footsteps, or live according to their thoughts, as the other gods do......"
Professor Wilson nodded slightly and said, "What you said makes some sense, but most of them are still speculations?"
If this is the case, why did the Norse gods of Asgard survive? ”
When Professor Wilson asked a question, Norman Osborne also nodded and said, "And those angels and heroic spirits, why did they also survive?" ”
Norman Osborne looked at Alvin and said, "There's a real 'angel' lying upstairs here......
The 'immortals' did not kill all the gods, and they even allowed the religion and myths that represented those gods to be passed down.
This is not in line with what you said about letting humans take charge of their own future!
We all know how powerful religion was hundreds of years ago, and how difficult it was for science to be born.
And why is all this? ”
Professor Wilson glanced at Alvin, who didn't know what to say, with some emotion, apparently Norman Osborne's question that he didn't know how to answer.
It is really difficult for people to understand the somewhat contradictory practices of those "immortals" now, human beings have recorded history since the birth of writing, and every step we have taken is extremely difficult, we continue to make mistakes, and then continue to move forward after paying the price......
Every mistake in history will be unforgettable for mankind at that time!
But no one can deny that without that long history, mankind would not have been able to go to this day.
Looking at the slightly silent scene, Professor Wilson said with a smile: "We can first make an assumption that what those 'immortals' do is for the sake of human beings themselves......
Stark shook his head and said, "We all know it's impossible!"
When there is a conflict between individual consciousness and collective consciousness, it is often the collective consciousness that prevails.
If those 'immortals' were a race, how could they unite their minds and sacrifice themselves for humanity? ”
Professor Wilson didn't mind Stark's rebuttal, he just smiled and said, "I'm just assuming because we don't know the truth."
And you yourself said that as a race, it is impossible to give up your life for the sake of people of other races......
But what if those 'immortals' are 'humans' themselves?
Asgard certainly doesn't make up history for the sake of those 'immortals'.
From what I know about Asgard, what the 'immortals' do will only be downplayed by them.
Because history is written by people, the willingness of those proud Nordic gods to put those 'immortals' above themselves shows how brilliant those 'immortals' were back then.
In other words, the 'earth core', 'runes', 'immortals', 'burning self' and 'freedom' they say are all credible, and even now they may not particularly know those 'immortals'......"
Saying that, Professor Wilson shook his head with a smile and said, "There is no point in us arguing about this, I just assume that those 'immortals' themselves are human beings.
So what exactly are they doing? Why did they keep the religion of those gods and let them influence humanity?
I studied history, and I saw that human beings have come all the way from ignorance......
From the day the written word appeared, civilization was born.
Is it science that promotes the progress of civilization, or is it the progress of the human mind that creates the progress of civilization?
I'm a fairly devout Christian, but you probably don't know that the more you know about religion, the less you believe in God......
What would we be like if we had the results of science now in the time of obscurantism?
What would have happened to the tyrants of ancient times if they had possessed modern weapons?
Even now, we are gradually losing control of our minds due to rapid development, and more and more problems are beginning to plague our minds.
If we assume that the 'immortals' are all humans, then what they kept after killing those gods is a precious legacy.
Those are the seeds of civilization......
This is also the greatest place for those 'immortals', because they seem to know very well that this is the world should be pluralistic.
Of course, it is also possible that they do not know what the future of humanity will look like.
They just left a legacy and then let humanity explore on its own! ”
Saying that, Professor Wilson looked at Stark and Norman Osborne, two great scientists, and said with a smile: "It is the most stupid thing to give people intelligence without giving moral standards, and to tell people how to use it!"
It's like giving a child fire without warning them of the danger......
There is no standard of good or evil in the language of science......
Science teaches us to build nuclear reactors, but never tells us whether the idea is good or bad!
There are enough nuclear weapons on Earth to destroy us many times, but it is not the laws, checks and balances, or other practical terms that bind them, but our inner morality.
You have always professed religious ignorance, but who is more ignorant?
When our minds are occupied by practical interests, what happens to us?
Why haven't we ever had a great philosopher in modern times? ”
Saying that, Professor Wilson said with a little excitement: "If those extremely powerful 'immortals' are willing to tolerate those different thoughts, then they are valuable......
Maybe those 'immortals' want the world to be colorful, not singular.
Because 'single' means not free, because you don't have a choice! ”
