I.C.E. Intelligent Creative Evolution

Greetings to one and all. Most religions have been around for over one thousand years, and in that enormous time span, the Christian religion has found nothing new to say. Perhaps they have not been listening!

As a man who finds a ‘one minute silence’ hard to observe, making two minutes silence absolute torture, I think God, who made me in His image, could not possibly keep quiet for over 2,000 years. Suppose this length of time has the same effect on Him as two minutes does one me? As I am 88 years old, I am pressured by my age to say something, and look sharp about it.

In his book ‘Witness’ J. G Bennet writes, “Man alone will be unable to prevent the inevitable catastrophe”. This was a religious book, deeply serious, yet not one Christian priest seems to have read it! If they did, they probably looked upon it as interference, and not one considered it a case for early retirement. The biggest problem in my life, from a very early age, is that if I saw something wrong, I had to put it right. Aged about four, I’d unblock a roadside drain, and at five, if the grass on the village green was too long, I’d set fire to it.

I think it is time I set fire to religion, and as the brains of the females of the human race have been ignored for upwards of 2,000 years, I hope they will assist me by making sure their matches are stored in a dry place. Then I will need no help from ‘Lucifer’, but don’t let him tempt me!

When Bennet spoke of “man alone”, I think he was pleading for God to send another Messiah; hardly likely after what man did to the first one! There is a saying that ‘God works in mysterious ways, and perhaps by accident the ‘man alone’ of Bennet opens the gate for women; all of them. As women represent 50% of the human race, in just one shift of thinking, the intellectual power of the human animal is virtually doubled.

But aha! It is not just doubled; it throws a new light on every aspect of how we live. In addition, it gives a greater meaning to the “love one another “of Jesus. In chemistry, when two elements are mixed it provides a third element, and let’s hope the first element is an insistence on peace. The first word of ICE is ‘Intelligence’, and wars are just plain stupidity.

The next word is ‘Creativity’, and this means that the world populace takes a look at how this planet is managed. “Jesus came down to teach us how to live a happy life on Earth” – my nephew is a retired vicar, and he gave me this support. Thank you, nephew Paul.

Humour is a great destroyer of stupidity, and when combined with the truth, it has even greater power, for it is remembered. Many great performers began with a dream, and by hard work made their dream come true. If we assume that within all of us lurks a route to make contact with our creator, then no person should ever be without hope. God gave us the ability to dream, imagine, and think. He certainly did not make this glorious planet as a bus shelter, in which with our minds in neutral, we await something better in Heaven.

The human animal was given the ability to play the greatest t part in our evolution. It is tragic that this same animal is almost the sole cause of the planet’s destruction.

The Christian religion stands by, watches history unfold, and continues to try and control us on behalf of despots, the true purpose of their origin.

I don’t believe ‘God’ intended his message to be passed on by self-appointed agents. Our creator lives within all of us, and is part of the atmosphere we breathe. Never one to blow my own trumpet, I am compelled to give you the first and last of my poems ‘Dreams’.

“Release your dreams into the winds, and let them help compose, an atmosphere that may contain, much more than we suppose”

After 57 verses, it ends with “When you release your dreams into the winds, there are no ‘little people’. As I wrote I was not alone. I sensed that my mind was being ‘helped’ by a benign outside force. Even now, as I write these words, my eyes fill with tears of gratitude, as I sense this ‘force’ is with me.

My chief interest in writing, is to help, our Little Acorn Children grow into Mighty Oak people. The world needs more of them.

I invite you to share in my love of humanity, and the need for all humans to live their lives to the highest standards. I invite every one of you to debate I.C.E; but never forgetting the glories of true romance and loving.

Blessings and Blossoms.
