Oh boy, O. L., you want the short version or the full nine yards ?

1. Who is man ?

Man is a two part being, comprising of the synthesis of an energetic part, known under various guises but most commonly as the 'soul', and the material casing, known as the 'body', currently a mammalian organism, with a similar genetic structure to most mammals, but closest of all to the primates of the hominidae genus.

As such Homo Sapiens Sapiens displays many behaviours similar to those of other primates, but has a number odf distinguishing features, according to our 'science' we are the only species that is 'self-aware', sentient, and capable of both speech and what we laughingly call 'Reason'.

At the energetic level, man knows no limitations, and is the individuated extension of the 'Creative Force'.

2. Whence did he come ?

According to my theory, the First Sentient Thought, started the process, and, with each decision/choice recreated a copy of him/her/it self and this process continued through various ( actually infinite ) species until the 'next stage' was the production of the monkey suits we wear today. This stage was reached, I think, about 250,000 years ago. The manner of the process is pretty much allegorical of the asexual fission of the simple amoeba, each 'decision' creates a 'left' and a 'right' or an 'up' and a 'down', in each case both courses are followed with the 'decider' splitting and following both chains of experience.

3. What is his structure and function ?

I think I already covered the structure, as best I can for the time being. The function ..... well, herein lies the rub indeed. I believe that the prupose of the 'Creative Force' is to explore all of the potentiality of this thing we call 'Life', to see that everything that could happen, does happen, and to follow the results of every possible combination of circumstances. As this would be practically impossible for one individuated entity, 'First Thought' devised this process whereby his proxies, us, could multiply and explore in an never-ending analogy for 'Tree of Life' ( the other tree in the Garden, the one they never talk about ), the roots endlessly branching out below, and the branches endlessly branching out above.

In short to see what happens next !

Man is one among the 8.4 million living species in the universe. Man has wisdom which no other species has.

From among infinite souls, some get the benefit of being born as in human body at a particular point of time. So the human body was, is, and will always be there, though 'we' may not be the beneficiaries always.

The structure of a human body (in spiritual terms) is, that it has the instruments fitted in it which if activated properly, can make a man his cherished dream of coming face to face with God, true. The activation tool is the heart. The biological body structure is to die one day. But it is important to keep it healthy and nourished, so that it can be put to use.

There are two sides to that argument. I think ultimately it is a decision on each individual of there view of good and bad. Sigmund Freud said "Homo Homini Lupus" which means 'man is a wolf to a man) and what I think he believed was that men are inherently bad and the aggressive nature of man creates things like war and greed. At first glance this seems a persuasive argument but he lived in a time where you could look more closely at world wars and history as they had more of an impression on how people were living then directly. My view, however, is totally opposite. I believe that as humans we remember bad things too easily and forget good things even quicker. Look at how popular veganism is for example. It is our nature to hunt and eat meat. It is more then that it is how our society works and yet there are those of us who literally defy nature and society in the hopes that no more creatures will have to suffer. Even though 20 people walk past a homeless man or busker one might stop to give what they can, and what if that one is someone who has no money left but what he gives. Wars still happen but peace is happening to. Personally, I think that it is no longer possible to classify man as either good or bad natured. I think that with todays education we are all able to choose our own destiny and that it is in each of our hearts to decide whether we will be good or bad. Hope it helps you.

Simply: We are spirit children of God, come from God whom we lived with as spirits. Our current structure is mortal as an intermediary step to obtaining an incorruptible immortal body, like what God has. Our function is to grow, progress and become as beautiful and wonderful as God is, and thus glorify Him even more.

We have always existed, but as more simple intelligence. We have grown. Hopefully, we will continue to do so.

Man does not exist, came from nothing, and has not structure or function. But these illusions we create are fascinating.

A very ungrateful organism currently destroying not only the habitat of other species, but it's own habitat as well.

Apparently, not as evolved as it thinks it is. If it should survive, all be it...unlikley...perhaps in time it will develop into something better than it is.

Peace and love!

Sometimes, it's helpful to see the other side of the Human Being.

The Being....that is currently human.

The energy....the spirit.....is here now in human form.

Man is a creation of God from the dust of the ground and the breath of life; given the qualities of God or image of God.

He was created as a perfect creature. Capable of living forever. He was placed in Eden and given the job of having children and expanding that garden to cover the earth.

He was given only one law to show acknowledgement of God's authority to make the rules or be the ruler of His creations. He had free will that more than anything else, seperated him from other earthly creations. He was free to obey or not. His free choice--and consequences either way.

1 & 2 - God created mankind (not just Adam and Eve) on the 6th day of creation (whatever that may mean, and no, not literal days).
3 - God created mankind in His image to worship God and spend eternity in His presence. See you in Heaven.....
