From the standpoint of atheism and evolution based thinking, humans reaching their present stage of a huge world civilization took several millions of years, and went through stages of development from the origins of life in lightning strikes (repeating events) into ponds where the right mix of basic chemicals existed to form beginning proteins when sent into resonation by repeating pulse electricity, through stages of one celled life, multiple cell life, then plants, animals, pre humans, and as of now current humans.
From the standpoint of religious believing and continuation of stories told around camp fires and later in Bibles describing how human life came to be, if one lives in the English speaking area of human life, the most widely told story of the creation of humans is that by a series of actions by "God", in 6 days about 6000 years ago, "God" "completed the creation" of current humans ("Creationism"). A "day" or "6 days"for God may be different from a day or 6 days for humans.
This discussion takes the position that both of these stories of how current humans came to be are essentially correct, and that the only actual point of contention is a disagreement about the time scale of the 6 stages before 6000 years ago. That the 6th stage was completed and current humans started about 6000 years ago seems to be born out by both atheistic archaeological excavation in combination with various dating methods, -- and information "communicated by visions" that have become religious dogma (for "creationists).
Disagreeing about the time scale of the 6 stages before current humans about 6000 years ago many apparently feel provides a basis for continuing hating and killing among humans. To sidestep the endless wrangling and murdering of various groups of humans by other groups (actions characteristic of what humans were previous to about 6000 years ago), this discussion takes the position that by whatever process and time scale, what we have to deal with at this time in human history is what humans ARE NOW. Little that is useful (and continuing the process of creation (Gen:6) into the 7th stage of human life), will be achieved by first murdering whichever humans are determined by some system of arguing and rabble rousing to have the incorrect idea of how human life on the Earth has reached its present stage.
As for what happened about 6000 years ago to set the forbears of current human life on the course where we find human civilization on this planet at this time, it apparently was developing the ability to see pictures in a human brain or "vision seeing". Previous to about 6000 years ago apparently like the other life forms on the Earth, when a chemical balance in pre-humans shifted to hungry, rather than seeing a vision of food, instead hunting started until something to eat was found. After eating for a while, then a chemical balance shifted to "lets lie down and rest". Other chemical balances in conjunction with biological clocks from time to time caused a feeling of "lets have sex". And that was about it for the thinking processes of the forebears of current humans previous to about 6000 years ago, and the rest of life on the Earth.
But then "vision seeing" became an ability of a more advanced form of human (with accompanying observable changes in the shape of a human brain and skull). The new ability consisted of a sensation of seeming to see pictures in one's head of actions that could be taken before one actually engaged in the actions. Then multiple choice actions being seen as pictures in the new kind of human's head. Shall I (or we) hunt for food by the water or in the forest? Does it feel better to rest in a cave, or up a tree, or just any place you feel like lying down after eating? How about some sex?
The complicated biological details of the emergence of such a new variety of human in English speaking areas is often referred to in dogmatic religious believing by the symbolic statement or icon as "the fall from grace", (a transition from chemical changes automatic instinct guided actions, to "knowledge acquiring ability", that is to say an increasing quantity of alternate visions 20 (repeating events) from which to choose. An additional obscure symbol used in camp fire stories to refer to humans developing such an ability about 6000 years ago is the action of "eating an apple from the tree of knowledge", instead of human actions continuing to be determined by a blissful and unconscious process `of chemical changes and biological clocks as with the rest of life forms on the Earth).
"Vision seeing" with the new kind of human then exploded in the brains of humans all over the Earth. Some "visitors from space" believers interviewed on radio programs such as Art Bell and Laura Lee say the vision seeing ability explosion resulted from interbreeding of Earth humans with space visitors. Religious dogma believers can find this referred to in Genesis Chapter 6, with comments about solving human problems by the procedures of creation instead of destruction.
Regardless of how individual camp fire story tellers embellished the stories of what was happening, it is now an obvious observable condition that starting a little after 6000 years ago the new kind of human started producing "vision seers" that were seeing so many different visions of so many different actions that could be done (including "talking with God"), that it was more than any separate individual of the new kind of human life could do to engage in all of the actions that were seen in all visions by everyone. So a condition began to develop of different humans doing different things, (gathering different kinds of food for example, or doing different parts of the actions that resulted in shelter and clothing).
At the beginning of this (about 6000 years ago), humans who were doing different things because of the different visions they were seeing began to gather together into tribes where everyone knew everyone else personally, and consequently knew what, how much, and how much better some tribe members did various things than other tribe members.
As diversification of food, shelter, clothing, and hunting devices resulted in different tribe members doing different things, it became necessary to arrive at some kind of creative instead of destructive way to determine who would get better food, better shelter, better clothing, and better hunting devices first, instead of an animal like fight taking place when a hunter would bring in some desirable food, (such as one can observe among lions). The creative solution was the development of a status system presided over by a top status tribal leader, to oversee an orderly procedure of who gets what first of more desirable food, shelter, clothing, hunting tools, and then starting to appear extras, toys, decorations, more than what was needed for bare survival.
So far we are thinking of just a single tribe of individuals beginning to depend on each other who all know each other personally, how each individual fits into the life of his or her tribe, and thus the status position of each individual in participating in the distribution of the goods and services produced (or gathered) by the tribe, and what the requirements or rituals are to change one's status position to get an earlier choice of more desirable items resulting from the actions of one's tribe. Such information could be remembered in the evolving vision seeing human memory. Literacy or ability to record such information in records exterior to human memory was not necessary.
But then members of individual tribes began encountering members of other tribes who were strangers, who had produced or come to possess something thought desirable by strangers. Once again the basic question arose, shall one obtain something desirable from a stranger in a creative or destructive way? (difference arrangement destroying or adding to). Shall a desirable item be obtained from a stranger by murdering the stranger and taking what he or see possesses from the stranger's corpse, or could a more creative way be devised or "seen in a vision" to get something desirable from a stranger that would leave a stranger alive to be able to provide additional desirable items in future trading with the same strangers.
Status system distribution that worked with individuals who all knew each other personally, (and depended on keeping the picture or vision in each individual's head of the status position of all of the members of one's tribe, with disputes if they arose presided over by a mutually respected tribal chief), was not workable with strangers because what a stranger had been doing all of his or her life was not known (was not a vision in one's head), and a stranger respected or lived by the status determinations of a tribal chief different from one's own tribal chief.
To solve that problem with vision seeing (inability to see a vision of the status position of strangers to determine who will receive first by status system distribution, and increase in one's own status position observable and respected by the rest of the members of one's tribe by providing something someone else desired to receive) visions were then seen of a way different from status position distribution wherein distribution would be accomplished by trading something you have that I want, for something I have that you want. Thus the procedure developed of "traders" carrying around with them items to "trade" with strangers, and in that transition female humans were relegated to a position of begging slaves. Bearing and rearing young no longer earned tribal status, and males lying about trading value ("price inflation") became the basic business method.
What was being traded was in effect one's "earned status position" or honesty recognition.
It can now be seen in hindsight that it was at this point that current humans started their deviation from the way the rest of being functions (graduated magnitudes difference arranging, the procedural basis for establishing status), and embarked upon a course (giving away one's honesty recognition) that has produced many virtually impossible to solve human problems that has resulted in "the time has arrived again for another huge change in human civilization"; a change as fundamental, drastic, and potentially creative (electronic data processing) as the event of about 6000 years ago of "vision seeing" (improved brain data processing) emerging as an ability of a new kind of human.
The cause of the deviation from how the rest of being functions it can now be seen was a data processing problem (inadequate unaided human senses) that would not accomplish a "vision" of business procedure using status position distribution for all the individuals (including females) that are involved in what an individual receives out of life, which as the 20th century is ending, is all of the humans on the Earth thought of as a single tribe (participants in a world wide division of labor and process of distribution among "Team Humans On The Earth").
The electronic extension of human senses is a step in evolution or creation of human life identical to development of a vision seeing form of human about 6000 years ago. A new kind of human has emerged again with greatly extended senses (data input capability) that can produce visions comprised of many more differences, such as the actions of all of human civilization (networked) in one difference arrangement (homo net).
Returning to how "the fall from Grace" (not living by the procedure used by the rest of being) has arrived at the current condition of unsolved human problems, and considering the possibility of solving the problems by a way of creation instead of by a way of destruction whether arrived at by rationality or by religious dogma, see Gen:6, or in other words going on to the 8th level or "8th day of creation, the 7th day or level has been the last 6000 years):
--- carrying trade goods to trade with strangers it turned out provided additional opportunities for disorderly and destructive actions within a tribe to be expanded to stealing what "strangers" were carrying around with them as "trade goods" instead of going to the trouble of obtaining something in a creative way to "trade with traders". Thus protectors of traders, or armed guards, or "armies" were seen in visions as how to prevent "trading" being done by killing and stealing, and instead being accomplished in an orderly and creative manner by "trading equal values" obtained by "honest work" instead of by stealing and murder.
A more convenient way to engage in "trading equal values" then developed that consisted of seeing a vision of what some large and inconvenient to transport item was "equal to" as a small and easily transported "value to trade", such as a certain weight of diamonds, gold, or in more primitive areas certain kinds of rare sea shells "equal to" large bulky items.
Carrying gold or jewels as more convenient "value to trade" turned out, however, to expand the opportunities for disorderly killing and stealing of such more convenient value for trading, instead of acquiring items to trade by honest work. Instead of killing a trader and stealing his or her trade goods, which then required the inconvenience of trading the trade goods for some other kind of more useful items, a thief could kill a trader and steal his or her "intermediate medium of exchange" (gold jewels, etc.), and then much more conveniently act ("bear false witness") as if he or she was an honest trader who had come by the gold or jewels one possessed by honest creative activities, instead of by murder and stealing. Note the steady increasing of the problem of lying and stealing in an increasing multitude of ways.
Then a vision was seen by the new kind of vision seeing human who came into being about 6000 years ago on the Earth, which was that instead of carrying actual value to exchange over trade routes infested with thieves and murderers, a trader could carry an identification of some kind (carved piece of ivory, wood, parchment, or paper) showing that he or she had deposited value for trading in some protected place, such as behind army guarded walls of a city such as Babylon, and that statement of "value for trading deposited in some safe guarded place" instead of carried in one's trading caravan, could be "traded" instead of the actual gold or jewels. The identification of value deposited some place else would make it more difficult for thieves and murders to steal actual value for trading directly.
As it turned out, depositing value for trading in a guarded place did not guarantee that it would be safe from thieves. "Vision seeing" produced multitudes of visions of how by various subterfuges "value for trading" could be shifted from a supposedly safe location, to some other location both illegally and legally, and collecting large quantities of "intermediate medium of exchange" became an end in itself (instead of creating something). The invention of "books" to "keep records" of where "value for trading" was located, instead of accomplishing the intended purpose of detecting stealing, simply extended the opportunities again for stealing by making false entries in such "books", or kings or monarchs, and later elected legislatures, passing laws (more visions), of how to transfer value for trading out of various bookkeeping accounts into other bookkeeping accounts, principally for the use and enrichment by stealing of the monarch or legislature enacting such laws, the most wide spread of which was visions of obtaining great wealth by stealing called levying taxes.
Meanwhile as the simple idea of "trading equals" with strangers replaced the simple idea of who has first choice of more desirable items using "status system distribution" (honesty recognition) where all members of a tribe know each other personally, a condition began to assert itself more and more in human actions that is caused by the way nature is constructed, instead of being a result of human agreements such as status system distribution being replaced by equalism trading distribution. This is the condition in nature that contrary to the way human "equalism reasoning based bookkeeping" is accomplished (a credit can arbitrarily be put in a bookkeeping record any place desired to "equal" a debit placed some place else), -- in how nature works "quantities" (not equalism values) but physical quantities as they appear in the functioning of nature whether by virtue of human actions or any other actions of nature (such as more favorable or less favorable whether conditions resulting in larger or smaller quantities of food becoming available), do not by some process in nature automatically cause "something equal to" the larger or smaller quantities to appear in possession of humans using "equalism trading reasoning" to accomplish distribution.
The way this condition of items available to be received, compared with lack of "equalism to trade" to obtain the items appears in simple human nature terms (a function in nature as simple as chemical changes to determine actions unconsciously or "by instinct"), is simply "not having money to spend", (equalism to trade) for what merchants want to sell to customers. The now almost universal attempt by humans and human business systems to deal with the mathematical unworkability of trying to "trade equals" to accomplish distribution consists of the patchwork violation of the mathematical breakdown of the "trade equals" idea that is using debt or credit to pretend to be trading equals to purchase something, instead of actually trading equals, (or in other words more lying required as an inherent necessity to continue the fiction of "trading equals", the largest examples of which are the "national debts" of nations, and "equalism to trade" required to "service the national debts".
As might be expected in the continuing saga of "the fall from grace" of lying, cheating, murdering, and stealing to "receive what has become available" (in what "The Garden Of Eden" has turned into as current world wide industrialized and world financial equalism trading networks human civilization), creating pretend equals to trade by credit and debt has provided even more expanded opportunities to engage purposely in lying, cheating, stealing, and murdering ranging from separate individuals to whole nations engaging in wars to deal with the many variations that human vision seeing has developed to engage in stealing and lying about "equalism value" (buy low, sell high) to accomplish distribution of what human vision seeing has brought into being.
One of the most troubling seemingly unsolvable problems by the arithmetic forced on vision seeing by "equalism trading" reasoning (and equalism based mathematical reasoning in general especially for atheism oriented vision seeing), is the increasingly serious problem of "unemployment" especially by juveniles reaching a biological clock stage of readiness to become giving as well as receiving members of Team Humans On The Earth", in addition to their parents who often are also experiencing being cut from the team (unemployed) because the arithmetic of "equalism trading" bears no resemblance to how nature functions, (divide hours of available work by 40; if the result is less than individuals needing jobs, the result is the system failure (leaving out) of those "who cannot find work".
Another result of "the fall from grace", was that the vitally needed function to continue human life, of work put into the life of one's tribe that consisted of being an adult female tribal member that produces and rears children, came to fade out of visions as tribal status earning work. Motherhood became non status earning work in life; an odd departure by humans from the way virtually all other life forms on the Earth function and especially among mammals, the major life group of which humans are a part, (male new "knowledge" forgot female status, or the "fall from grace").
The odd condition of motherhood becoming none status work in life (does not directly earn buying ability) has been in front of humans for several thousand years as a problem, and it seems should have alerted or triggered a suspicion long before this that perhaps some fundamental principle in nature was being violated, or not properly understood, and that "the fall from grace" is a temporary condition that would be remedied at some future time when the "search for knowledge", "eating an apple", evolving beyond unconscious chemical balance changes governing actions, would reach a point where enough knowledge would be gained of how being functions that would result in a "return to grace", (everyone included as full members of human society including females).
A "return to grace" among other "problems solved with knowledge of how being functions" (in place of blind faith in God, mysterious, unspecific metaphysics, or automatic chemical balance changes explaining how being functions), could be a condition where a female human whose work in life as a member of a tribe, or Team Humans on the Earth, earns status directly (the way it used to be before "the fall from grace), to be able to receive out of life like any other kind of helping others as a member of Team Humans on the Earth.
With some religions teaching "woman caused the fall from grace", and most of current human civilization irrespective of religious or atheistic orientation has apparently gone along with or has come to fit that metaphor, that motherhood is a virtually universal non status earning position in current human actions (females are issued begging permits from an individual man or government welfare agency in order to live if their work in life is bearing and rearing children), it seems only fair and religiously logical that women appear to be the humans most likely at this time to have sufficient motivation and "knowledge" (or apple eating, knowledge of how being functions, repeating events, resonation) to bring about "the return to grace".
If there is nothing else to motivate an individual to take a sufficient interest in "Total work in life buying" and "Pay by the act of distribution" to understand how such a procedure works, the issue of "female humans, finally, readmitted to full membership in human civilization" (as is the case in virtually all other life forms on the Earth), or women being the human group that can accomplish "the return to grace" should be enough to draw practically all of current human civilization into the argument, debate, study of, and experimenting with "Total work in life buying".
Any instance of debt to accomplish buying shows a system failure. To see how much of a fall from grace taking honesty recognition away from individuals to accomplish distribution (or issuing begging permits to female humans) has led to, every time it is necessary to resort to "going into debt", or "borrowing honesty recognition to spend from someone else or a financial institution" (either nations or individuals), "or taxing or confiscating from those who have to give to those who have not", one is observing a break down or failure to work according to its basic theory (trade equals) of the "fall from grace system" of trying to take honesty recognition away from customers to accomplish distribution of goods and services. Observe the pain, destruction, dishonesty, injustice of current "money systems", ("Babylon the whore who corrupted the Earth").
Start rumors about this. Ask everyone you know what they think of TOTAL VALUE PUT INTO LIFE BUYING. The half of the humans on the Earth that are female should now start asking everyone, all other women and of course any male humans (such as members of congresses, parliaments, judges, school and college teachers, anthropologists, biologists, scientists, mathematicians, business owners male or female, radio or TV interview programs or telephone call in programs) -- what they think of TOTAL VALUE PUT INTO LIFE BUYING.
What living as a homo net level human accomplishes, is being able to know in seconds (as fast as an unaided senses human eye can recognize another member of one's tribe) the earned status position of any individual one encounters on the Earth whether friend or stranger, (similar to a pre literate human having a vision or memory in one's brain of all of the actions in life of each of the members of one's 20 person or so tribe), so that in giving to and receiving from friends or strangers, humans can return to using the simple and easily understood honesty idea, that whoever has helped others a LARGER total in life (the life of one's tribe, now Team Humans on the Earth) is entitled to receive before someone who has helped others a SMALLER total in life.
The other half of returning to distribution by status position on a homo net level instead of trying to continue with taking honesty recognition away from customers no matter how much pain, sorrow, confusion, and destruction such a procedure causes ("fall from grace"), is pay by the act of distribution as an electronic data base update instead of trying to take away from a customer an amount of honesty recognition "equal to" what is received.
Now after 6000 years or so of working on the problem of how all of Team Humans On The Earth can know each other as members of the same tribe, the processes of nature (or 29 "God", or "divine intelligence", whatever wording one prefers) has solved the problem. All of the motions and electronic networking on a homo net level to accomplish total value put into life distribution and pay by the act of distribution are already being done when purchasing is accomplished by current business transaction ideas by sliding a credit card or debit card down a slot to purchase something. All that remains to be done is to change a few line of the electronic data processing computer code that is activated by sliding a credit card down a slot to buy something, and the visions in the minds of buyers and sellers accomplishing such a business transaction. This would be similar to imagining that the universe revolves around the earth, but then changing that vision in one's mind to the Earth rotating on an axis.
With total value put into life buying, those interested enough to care and understand what happens when a customer's "total value put into life recognition" is slid down a slot to buy something (currently called a credit card if one chooses to envision that the universe is rotating around the Earth, or a total value put into life recognition if one decides to see in the vision in one's mind that the Earth is rotating instead of the universe rotating), the computer program activated by the card sliding in the slot reads the TOTAL VALUE a customer has put into life, instead of reading the difference between how much value a person has put into life, and how much of that value has not yet been taken away from a customer and make an additional subtraction from what is left of the total one has put into life. Rem out the equalism trading value minus sign in the computer program, so that a subtraction is not made from a customer's total value put into life recognition when purchasing something.
As credit card purchasers already know when they receive their credit card statements, and what they can see on the receipt they receive from a bar code scanner slide your credit card down a slot checkout line, the receipt shows a printed statement of each item purchased. Furthermore, one's credit card statement received each month shows a list of each of the merchants from which items or services were received. Or in other words all of the actions of a "total value put into life", "reasonable amount per customer" buying procedure are already being done and simply thought of as if the universe is rotating around the Earth, instead of the Earth rotating.
Data accessing satellites are now an accomplished fact at this stage of human "eating of apples" or "acquiring knowledge of how being works" and can be accessed from any place on the Earth to give the geographical location of where one is located with a homo net satellite communication hand held device. With the same now accomplished fact homo net human senses extension satellites, anyone anywhere on the Earth can make a telephone call to anyone any place on the Earth, or access any data base on the Earth using present still rather primitive (narrow band, copper wire) world connected telephone systems and satellites.
This means that any human on the Earth whether literate or illiterate, can be known as fast as eyes can see, or mouth can say and ears hear what a person says as who they are (stated as the total one has put into life to a seller of goods or services anywhere on the Earth with either a hand held telephone accessing satellite communication, or in urban areas simply dialing local telephone numbers.
Such data base access in seconds or a few minutes of what is a person's "total value put into life" in a data base such as in the United States of America is called the "Social Security Account" for each individual (for each tax payer or person claimed as a tax deduction on a United states tax payer's tax forms), or similar data bases in almost all other nations of the Earth.
The time of homo net has arrived. This is no longer a prediction of what might happen at some future time in human actions. This is simply recognizing what is now accomplished fact, and thinking of it in the visions in one's mind as the Earth rotating, instead of the universe rotating around the Earth.
Thus "the time has arrived again for another huge change in human civilization".
The huge change as in the huge change of around 6000 years ago, for humans to sustain their current level of development instead of falling back into a more primitive (and chemical changes instinct controlled form of life, and accomplishing distribution in the ways observable in a pride of lions), has to consist in religious dogma terminology of accomplishing what amounts to "a return to grace", that is to say coming to live by the properties or "laws" of how nature functions in a creative manner (how "the garden" was "created by God"), ---
--- and in the terminology of atheism and evolution complete the 7th level of the creation of humans ("recognize" what has happened) and go on to the 8th level of a more advanced form of human life (see "The Quest For Paradise" book from Rainbow Press), that has solved the problem of dishonesty, lying, cheating, and killing to accomplish distribution of what the processes of nature including human actions have caused to become available, and enables any individual member of Team Human Life On The Earth to be consciously aware (more evolved human senses) of all of the members of the team in one status arrangement; a communication problem now solvable with electronic communication, electronic senses extension and faster data processing with computers.
Networked electronic computers are no less evidence of the evolution process of nature than new forms of humans. The new kind of human using such computers can be called homo net.
Summarizing briefly what the rest of the subjects in this World Wide Web computer book describe as the nature of the next huge change in human civilization, taking into consideration this brief summary of the last 6000 years of human development, the central essence of the interim period of the last 6000 years in respect to receiving out of life what has become available, is how to determine in a reasonable length of time the honesty of a stranger who says he or she wants to receive and is entitled to receive some of what one has to distribute, and, the communication and data processing problem of showing that someone who distributes something to someone has thereby increased one's entitlement to receive goods and services out of a human business system.
The temporary stop gap procedure that has been used for a little less than the last 6000 years of human actions until the honesty verification communication in a reasonable length of time problem would be solved (human senses extension electronic communication), was to carry around "equalism for trading" in various forms, and especially the procedure of credit and debt each time the "equalism trading" idea turns out to be mathematically unworkable because of the way nature is fundamentally constructed (difference arranging, not "equalism").
With the development of electronic communication all over the Earth it is now possible to dispense with the temporary stop gap of the last 6000 years of taking an equal away (or pretending an equal is being taken away as with debt and credit) in order to sell something, and go back to, or progress forward to the original "Garden of Eden" method, "the way the rest of nature works", and use the much easier to understand and operate honestly procedure of "status position distribution", instead of taking away or stealing honesty recognition to accomplish distribution. An unspecific as to source and honesty stealable "intermediate medium of exchange" is replaced by individual specific not traded (and thus not stealable) honesty recognition (earned status position, how a human brain works, memory).
With electronic communication (an evolution from an electricity lightning strike that started life), that can verify in seconds any place on the Earth, the status position of any stranger in human civilization (how much one has helped members of human civilization other than oneself, that is to say the total of what an individual has put into life to be entitled to receive out of life, one's honesty recognition), and can when an act of helping others (being civilized) takes place, in seconds add the recognition of that action to the record of how much one has helped others in one's life (acted in a civilized manner), the necessary parts are now in place to accomplish the next huge change in human civilization, which can be called, "total work in life receiving".
More poetically and religiously this can be called "receiving based on the total of the honesty in which one has engaged in one's life", or in more obscure religious dogma terminology, "a time (of another huge change in human living) will arrive, when there will be a Judgment Day, wherein the books are opened in which are recorded the works of each person's life (how much each person has accepted and implemented the suggestion "be honest, don't lie, don't cheat, don't steal, don't murder" (to receive out of life), and each person will receive according to their works (honesty) written in the book of life".
The specifics of how to accomplish this next huge change in human living, and how to arrive at such specifics either by scientific test based reasoning or religious dogmatism are in the entries on the home page of this Hyper Text Mark Up computer book on the Internet World Wide Web at http://www.canuck.com/~akwu/ab
