This really is about you.
I have started writing a short modern “Origin Story.” It will be based on what cutting-edge scientists are telling people like you and me who are not mathematicians or PhDs.
Every group, like a tribe, or religion, or cult, or political party, seems to need an Origin Story. It’s a human thing.
The Christian and Jewish Bibles say God created the Heavens and the Earth. It took six days, they tell us. The Koran says almost the same thing. But, my interpretation of the following surprisingly leads me to believe the Koran’s language (translated into English) is a bit more in line with today’s science than the Bible’s. https://www2.nau.edu/~gaud/bio301/content/iscrst.htm. Maybe you agree. Or don’t. Or don’t care.
Aboriginal tribes in Australia have an Origin Story that involves spooky “entities” that may still exist in the cracks and crevices of the Earth. The entities created everything. It is sort of like The Big Bang theory, but without equations.
My Origin Story will include some of the “things” Albert Einstein claimed about modern science that he said were “spooky.”
I ask you … is there anything in humans’ Origin Story, and the origin of our universe, that you’d like me to try and explain in language an eight-year-old or eighty-eight-year-old might understand?
Like ... “How do the stem cells in a woman’s womb know that their job is to create a knee, or an ear lobe, or ankle?” There actually is a non-complicated answer. I worked a long time with a scientist who is a genius in genes to get that short explanation.
