Think about these innovators of modern era: Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham; Bill Gates Jr., Steve Job; Karl Benz, and the Wright Brothers. Their inventions transcend to all part of the planet earth thereby enriching human lives greatly. Now; imagine trying to depict their accomplishment in an era where there is no established lingual practice, nor a method of clear lingual translation, nor alphabet to write a word. But somehow their accomplishments must be relayed to the next generation. Such condition would have led to the following paradigms:
Inventors and Innovators such as Bill Gates, Jr., Steve Job probably could have been noted as “god of machine”; while Thomas Edison could be described as “god of lightning that conquered darkness”
Alexander Graham Bell could have been categorized as “god that possesses a voice that could be heard thousands of miles away”
Karl Benz would have been named “god of motion” and automobile accidents could have been referenced to have been “triggered” by wrath of his vengeance and so on.
The Wright Brothers would have been named “Four legged god that create long-span omen that fly in the Sky”
The aforesaid was merely an attempt by a generation to attribute a honor to these “gods” with their accomplishment; as there were no standard lingual practice to depict their achievement. The use of “god of” was through oral history, and such becomes a “legend” for the generation that comes afterwards.
Now; think back to the era on the Africa plains when the first species that “evolved” to human, or “created” to human, [depending on what you believe] Then, think of the method by which the civilization that came afterwards that witness their existence might have [attempted to] attribute some recognition to the first of such honorable being [that was triggered by the laws of Time] to become human being.
The question now is this: What do you think that the immediate civilization that came afterwards could have named that first human of honor? Because such human of honor would have the privilege of explaining how bird fly in the sky and how squirrels eats nuts and so on; and such explanation could have been referenced as “creating” such animal. Could that be the reason why some religions proclaim that “Almighty God was a Man?”
Think; Think, and Think again.
