Q #1: Does our personal theory on life change as we change and grow?
A: Yes. We are involved in a process that is referred to as cosmogenesis -"…those unfolding patterns that reveal a tendency for EVERYTHING to grow and develop. Nothing is static nor do life processes simply repeat a once-and-for-all blueprint - something new and fresh is added each time." D.
Omurcho, Ph.D. That is why science is continually open-ended and demands further investigation and exploration on all matters.
Q #2: If conscience is rooted in a higher power how do we explain the behavior of our founding fathers who owned slaves and exploited women?
A: Most people do the best they can with what they have. Our forefathers operated on a theory that is still somewhat in vogue, but is mythical, not factual, and is slowly being discarded. Good and evil will always be with us. They are a part of the process. Read essay Number 12 on Good and Evil for a further explanation.
