Gods, Myths, and the Machinery of Society 8
Part 8
If someone says that the stories of the Islamic concept are not taken from the Bible, but they are the original stories, then his theological rigidity can be understood. He should say that three and a half to four thousand years ago, the Jews had made a time machine, with the help of which they came forward in time and had returned with stories of Islamic concept, where the names of the prophets and their stories were created in their own flavour... Because the one who writes first, is considered the original writer and not the later. Now, if such a stubborn person questions that if it were so, then the whole story would have been taken, why only the selective part was copied. To understand it, one has to understand the intellectual development of the human being. Knowledge has not remained confined at any place, nor were the rules have been fixed, everything has been moving forward.
What is ethical and logical today will become unethical and illogical after a thousand years. So whatever book will be written by introducing a new concept at that time, those unethical or illogical parts will be removed or revised and no original content will be copied as it is. For example, in today's date, if an incarnation appears and starts a new religion and writes or gets a book written by taking stories from the same source, linking himself to some previous religious concept (eg Islam) to prove its authenticity, then he will remove all disputable things which seem unethical, illogical and unscientific in today's era... then after five hundred or thousand years if any of his followers say that he does not believe that the book has been inspired from somewhere, else it would have been taken as it is then their argument is totally baseless. Let us understand this with two examples
Whenever the Torah was first written down, there were angels called The Watchers sent to watch over humans in the story of Noah, who became corrupt and started raping women, producing offspring from them, and torturing people. It seems that originally the flood was brought to destroy them...
These Watchers were featured in the Hollywood movie "Noah", while when the Bible was written in the early part of the Christian era, by the time the Watchers had become illogical due to newly acquired knowledge, so they were completely vanished and their act was passed on to humans. Like in the early literature of this concept Lilith was created with Adam and she had a detailed story.
But at the time of writing the Bible, Lilith, who sought dominance in a patriarchial society, was removed and Eve was created from Adam's rib and established as the first woman in the world. Today, a large percentage of the Bible-reading generation has almost zero knowledge of Lilith, while in the original Semitic concept, the first woman associated with Adam was Lilith, and not Eve.
Just as at the time when Taurah or Bible were written, intercourse in blood relations were also accepted. We can see this in the Egyptian rulers of the same period. In order to maintain the purity of blood they used to marry real sisters and gave birth to children. This was happening in other societies too. Hence they could write in their religious books that Sarah, the wife of Abraham, who is called the founding father of Semitic, was actually his cousin, and in Egypt, Abraham introduced Sarah as his real sister. .
They could write without hesitation that that when Lut's community was destroyed, and there was no man left, his daughters made physical relations with their father by intoxicating him and gave birth to children. While this had become immoral by the time Islamic literature was written, so the relationship between Abraham and Sarah was hid, and the story of Lut was not carried forward after the destruction of his community.
In today's date, if a new book is written by taking inspiration from the Quran, then perhaps the context of the maidservant and the marriage of the adopted son's wife may be removed from it because it does not fit the knowledge, mindset and morality of this new era.
