Where did it all go wrong?

Question

Well whatever the premise, whether God created us and placed us on this Earth or whether we evolved from unicellular organisms, how did we manage to create such a badly constructed society in time? I mean there's poverty, there is war, there is bad leadership, there is hate among us, how did we get to this from where we started? How does Adam or the primordial cell get to World war? Where did we go wrong?

Answer 1

it all went wrong when eve ate the apple, then sin came meaning death, poverty, lack, wrath, hatred......must i go on..

Answer 2

NO, not WHATEVER the premise, the premise determines the answer. If you believe in God, then to find out where we went wrong pick up the bible and have a read. If however you believe we evolved from unicellular organisms (I'm assuming this an attempt to describe brute materialism) then we didn't go wrong at all for there is no such thing. Tighten up your thinking and come back to the forum when you have a meaningful question to ask.

Answer 3

Well not trusting God the creator is where it all started. Disobedience! See we do have a free will. Most folks like to rebel , and since Satan is down here doing all he can to destroy God creation, unless we fight back it will not get better. To many Bad spirits run this earth and to many people do not understand Spiritual Battle.

one more thing Eve ate the apple but Adam was right there and he had authority and didn't take it. Then he blame God for the woman God had given him,and Eve blamed the serpant for decieveing her So there you go everyone blames everyone and so on.


Gen 3:12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Gen 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

Answer 4

Humans are a part of nature. Whether you believe we have a soul or not, you must admit that we must follow the rules that govern animals. (ie - we must eat, sleep, reproduce sexually, we feel pain etc.) We have the same needs and emotions as every other sentient living thing on the planet. We have just developed more powerful tools to fulfill those needs. Dogs fight, they just don't have guns and bombs. Birds are greedy, they just steal directly instead of using corrupt practices. The very concept of "wrong" is a human invention. We are just doing what we do.

Answer 5

Stupidity and Greed run rampant where "forward" thinking, progressive thinking, does not exist or is demonized.

People educated to think for themselves will come upon universal ideals of what is good for society as a whole.

But what gets "popularized" is the "herd mentality". Everywhere in today's world there is the tendency to accept the safe faith in our corrupt governments and religious institutions.

There is another way, but it is not the popular choice.

Where did it all go wrong?

Bad choices.

Answer 6

I think it all comes from our search for someone or something to define us, such as black people searching for the next DMLK, when each of us can do what DMLK did, but but its to hard, and that the same way we think of when we search for God, we look for him to solve all are problem, when we can take it in our on hands, and ask God for srength so that "we" may solve "our" problem, but with that search for God we created society, a true Human isnt social, but lookes to themselves to solve their own problem, society looks to other, fema, the president, the church, but no each indivdual person, can solve there own problem, and can lead there selves, and every ones goals would some how be the same, so if it is the purpose of saving yourself from a hurricane, you would led your self to safety, and help all those who need it, and others would be doing them same, so everyone be be safe, but no lets wait, lets wait for fema, they can help, no wait on no one, and we evolve when we all counquer ourselves, and maybe the next evolution would be with out leaders


Oh and I agree JazzJb, I consider that the becoming of people, and moving alway from the human

Answer 7

We may not have gone wrong my friend. I hate this idea but i see the sense in it. We have a balance and that is what nature demands to progress. A little more violent and we'd have destroyed ourselves or not even gotten beyond a tribal state to destroy ourselves. A little more peaceful and we'd have become stagnant and little more than grazing, farming animals-mammalian individualistic ants. We are nature's little experiment to see if it can risk total destruction in order that-through us-it can seed itself beyond this world and in that way lessen the chances for its inevitable destruction by cosmic events.
Thats how i see it!

Answer 8

Free will! We have free will but not the necessary knowledge to employ it. We could also look at the glass half full since all the things you mentioned have been with us since the beginning of our existence. Now we have newspapers, books, and Internet to write about our shortcomings, and hopefully we can influence people in the right way.

Answer 9

It all begin with the naming process. We began to name the animals and the trees and all the other natural objects. We also named the man made objects as well. Through this naming process we expected natural and synthetic objects to conform to our names and expectations.

Then we did the "Big One," we began naming people. We started with religions (Catholic, Baptist, etc.), races (Black, White, etc.), locations, (Asian, American, African, etc.). Then we put our same expectations on people negating their ability to choose their own dreams and goals. When they refused the labels and positions in existence that we gave them, we killed them.

This is why we all must exist as Human Beings first. This negates the erroneous expectations that we place on ourselves and force others to accept.

Answer 10

this is why we r called human beings because we can chose our own destiney by different understandings of things.
For example: Hitler thought he was to rule the world and eradicate the Jews from it as Gods will. But the Jews thought otherwise and so did we because killing is never good.

Answer 11

Maybe thats too narrow-minded... Maybe we are meant to destroy ourselves and a newer, more evolved species will replace us in a neverending cycle.
