Chapter 363 Imitation Theory

"I have an idea, you can listen to it..."

The person speaking was Professor Heigl. She clicked on the screen, and a series of documents suddenly popped up.

"Have you noticed that in this series of stories, the power of 'Poseidon' has become more and more powerful?"

"From the small fish and shrimps in ancient times to all kinds of gold and jewelry, it seems that it can take out everything the Dige people have in one go. This gives the indigenous people a kind of 'Poseidon Umolu' omnipotent No, and the illusion of being very wealthy!”

"Actually, can this process be regarded as the process of intellectual development of 'Gaia creatures'?

"After all, the slow growth of this creature should not be measured by our time..."

"It has been slowly improving over the years...even in the past few hundred years, cold weapons have appeared! This is very incredible!"

Yu Yifeng nodded, it sounded reasonable, but he couldn't help but asked: "So, what about the tsunami, the wrath of the sea god? Is it venting its emotions?"

Professor Heigl shook his head: "Tsunami is just a natural phenomenon caused by earthquakes! According to my guess, this nascent Gaia consciousness was directly washed away by the huge tsunami! This also led to a long period of time. No miracles can occur without responding to the Diggers.”

"If this is true, Gaia's creatures may be more fragile than we thought... Its self-awareness was actually washed away by the tsunami!"

"I know! It's an imitation!"

Dr. Rimbaud suddenly shouted excitedly, interrupting Professor Heigl's words.

"Everything it does is imitation! It's all just imitation!"

"We shouldn't think about things so complicatedly. What kind of person behind the scenes is acting as a god...it doesn't exist at all! This Gaia creature is like a stupid robot, just imitating the Digger!"

"Think about it, the Dige dug a pit and buried the food in it. Then it followed suit and dug a big pit and buried a large amount of food in it... As a result, it became a god in the eyes of the natives!"

"What kind of devout person would receive a gift from the God of the Sea? Fart! It's just imitation!"

"As for... stories about recovery from illness, survival in the sea, light balls falling into the sea, etc.... they don't exist! Or it's just some kind of coincidence that was forcibly attributed to Gaia's creatures!"

Rimbaud spoke out all his conjectures loudly. For a moment, everyone was stunned...

…

Of course, the smart ones are not just the new arrivals...

Even the Diggers had this idea a long time ago.

"Curiosity" is a common emotion of every intelligent life. Since ancient times, there have always been people from Dige who have wondered: What exactly is "Poseidon"? Live in the sea? Does it look the same as them? Is it really possible to do anything?

Such curiosity has led many people to try to find out the truth about Poseidon. Although this "attempt" is actually a sacrilegious act, because according to religious regulations, God is omnipotent and incomprehensible.

But there are still Dige people who want to take on the perspective of Poseidon. They make a lot of guesses based on the various behaviors of "Poseidon Umoru"...

Some of these conjectures were beneficial to the ruling class, so they were adopted by religions and turned into various classics.

But others...of course became heretics.

For example, the "doctrine of imitation" is the most famous and rebellious doctrine, which appeared two thousand years ago.

This theory holds that the "Poseidon" is simply imitating people's movements. "Poseidon" is a powerful creature, but it may have low self-awareness and no thoughts of its own.

The miracles that really happened were just imitating the actions of the Diggers...

Of course, this kind of rebellious thought is absolutely sacrilegious in any era, and it caused the Holy See to be furious. Whether they are ordinary people or the upper class, they all feel that "god" is elusive and indescribable. How can it be just a powerful creature?

So two thousand years ago, this heresy purge was supported by almost everyone, and those who advocated the "doctrine of imitation" were burned at the stake...

Although these pioneers left the world early, this imitation theory has been passed down and is widely circulated in the hearts of some blasphemers...

Until modern times, a great scientist appeared... and the whole world finally experienced the biggest turning point.

Li Tu, a 38-year-old native of Dige, is a top theologian and biologist. Reaching his position requires not only talent but also luck.

The main direction of his recent research is complex algae in the ocean.

What no one knows is that under the bombardment of various waves of thinking, the theologian Li Tu turned out to be an extremely rare "atheist"!

Even, he is the leader of an “atheist organization”!

Perhaps every civilization has had the emergence of "maverick" individuals who attempted to change this chaotic and helpless world.

There are many successful people among them who have become real heroes.

But most of them are losers...

How difficult is it to change a world?

It takes opportunity, luck, timing, and location.

But now, scientist Li Tu believes that an opportunity... has finally appeared!

Opportunity...is the development of science!

As time goes by, the Digs go deeper and deeper into various branches of science, but they find that there are more and more loopholes in religious explanations, and there is a tendency to be out of tune.

Although the current religion has been reforming and changing to adapt to the trend of the times, this kind of unreal thing, no matter how much lies it is covered with, still has loopholes...

Therefore, more and more scientists gradually doubt the authenticity of "gods"... The "atheistic organization" led by Li Tu began to grow gradually.

Of course, with the deep-rooted "god" idea, there are only a few such people.

This kind of organization is more shady than the underworld. Once discovered, the members inside will surely die.

Li Tu's biggest goal is...

To overthrow the "gods"!

Because the gods have greatly hindered the development of science, "If you don't overthrow them, there will be no new world and no future!"

Religion and science have similarities and also very different places.

Religion and science are both things established by humans to explain the world.

However, religion is established from top to bottom, while science is established from bottom to top. This is the fundamental contradiction. When it develops to a deep level, it will become incompatible.

In order to explain the world, religion first gave a conclusion - everything is because of "God"!

Because of God, everything in the world has an explanation.

This approach undoubtedly gave intelligent life the power of stability, gave them faith, and made them look forward to the coming of God... However, this rough thinking also caused many problems. Not only does it put people in a passive state, they can only look forward to the coming of God and the help of God; it also creates a situation of ignorance, drowning many issues worth thinking about, and unable to make further thinking.

This is an inert and primitive way of thinking. Intelligent life always tends to use a simple and rough way to end thinking as soon as possible, to achieve quick self-comfort, but it is easy to give up another difficult but effective way of thinking.

This difficult but effective way of thinking... is science.

Science tries to summarize complexity with simplicity.

Although science also has many things that cannot be explained, it will never crudely attribute the unknown to "gods"...

Li Tu said in his organization: "So, the ignorance of the Dig people has lasted for more than 100,000 years. It was not until the long river of time that modern science was born with difficulty, like a difficult birth!"

"But although science was born, it was still hindered by gods."

Li Tu believes in the "imitation theory". He believes that "gods" are just a powerful creature hidden in the ocean.

But he has no evidence and dares not speak nonsense.

To defeat the gods, decisive evidence is necessary!

The best way is to... find out the true body of God!
