In fact, at the level of human cognition, nothing can be traced back to its origin.
Even the current mainstream theory of the origin of the universe only says that the "singularity" exploded 65.438+0.382 billion years ago, and there was space and time in the universe. As for what was before the "singularity", human beings can't describe it and it doesn't make sense.
But nothing can be traced back to its origin, so why does it still exist? Can't answer.
Therefore, at present, with human wisdom, it is impossible to think about the ultimate problem.
Although mankind can't think about the ultimate problem, it can't stop exploring. Human reason always requires or forces human beings to think about the origin.
But there is basically no answer to this tracing.
Let's analyze the origin of human beings. There are three hypotheses about the origin of human beings.
First, the theory of evolution.
Darwin believed that all biological species evolved from a few common ancestors through long-term natural selection.
Darwin's masterpiece The Origin of Species has three important propositions.
Item 1: Biological species are not permanent.
Item 2: I think the theory of using this evolutionary process can be extended to explain the origin of all different creatures on earth.
The third item: natural selection, survival of the fittest.
But why did only humans evolve civilization? Whether only one species can produce civilization in a closed ecosystem.
If the earth civilization evolves according to the theory of evolution, will it form a global intelligence, the earth brain?
Second, human beings come from aliens = creationism.
Lucy is an Australopithecus, who lived about 3.2 million years ago. )
The fossils excavated by people have shown that modern Homo sapiens evolved from ancient apes bit by bit, and more than 98% of the genes of modern humans and chimpanzees are the same.
But it is also possible that the earliest life was a low-level creature that aliens threw on the earth.
(In Prometheus, the artificial man David created civilization in Alien. )
It is also possible that aliens interfered with the evolution of apes and genetically modified them.
Many ancient civilizations have legends that human beings come from aliens, and God can also be understood as aliens.
In the Gospel of Kyle in the Bible, Jesus said, "The Son of Man came from the clouds and brought great strength and brilliance."
Father Schmidt, a German linguist, noticed that in Indian and European religions, the root of the word God means to shine.
(The word "God" is written in Oracle Bone Inscriptions: electricity)
God comes from electricity and from the sky.
Third, the theory of prehistoric civilization.
There are 4.6 billion people on the earth. According to the theory of evolution, it takes about three or four million years for apes to evolve into Homo sapiens, while human civilization has only a history of more than five thousand years. Modern industrial civilization has developed for more than 300 years and has the ability of self-destruction.
(prehistoric civilization murals? )
Based on the above reasons and some suspected prehistoric civilization relics, some people think that human development is cyclical, and there are different civilizations on the earth in different periods. The current human civilization is just another generation of human civilization.
Is each of the above three hypotheses capable?
As early as in ancient Greece, Aristotle found that the reason why people explore things is always retrogressive, but it cannot be "infinitely retrogressive". Without the initial starting point and origin, there is no reason. On the other hand, we can't "advance infinitely", and things are limited in origin.
But human beings have a strange nature, which requires us to carry out this kind of exploration.
This may be the reason why human beings exist in the universe, and human existence itself is the reason to explore the reasons.
