Interesting how all science comes to the same conclusion. Man should not exist. There is no logical, scientific, model in which Man exists. Actually, there is no scientific model in which the plants and animals should exist here on this earth. Actually, there is no scientific model in which the earth could exist.

Lehi and his symbolic world.
A great and spacious building; and it stood as it were in the air, high above the earth. And it was filled with people, both old and young, both male and female; and their manner of dress was exceedingly fine.
I figured it out. I finally realized where I am in the symbolic representation of what is going on here on earth. It was all a matter of perspective. Where exactly am I standing in Lehi’s visionary world?
I’m inside the building.
That’s me on the fourteenth floor, standing in the hall near the elevator. I’m not really interested in finding a balcony to look out over the beautiful unobstructed view, or the party room where we can drink a little or drink a lot according to our party spirit. Drugs, liquor, licentious love. Pick your party. It’s all here in this grand and spacious building.
I really just want to get out.
So this is how I figured it out. I looked around, couldn’t see any buildings with mocking people. But I began to notice that there are a lot of people who really struggle with the concept of a God. Educated people. People who fill the void with the ever increasing information gleaned by observation and refined by science.

Actually, there is no scientific model in which the plants and animals should exist here on this earth. Actually, there is no scientific model in which the earth could exist.
Even the big bang supports this concept. Entropy, a building block of science, everything going from an organized state to a disorganized state. Which would simplistically be what the big bang is all about. Something blowing up, spreading debris from one end of the universe to the other. So how, in the name of He who does not exist, does that which is moving from an organized state to a disorganized state, suddenly reverse its natural flow to coalesce into something so organized as an earth with all of the infinite variables necessary to sustain life.
Those who deny the existence of God want to believe that someday (hope hope hope) science will find some evidence somewhere that proves it is in the natural order of things to go from disorganized to organized. An empty hope.
And the best part? They mock those that believe in a God. Anyone who would believe in a being so powerful, that he can defy entropy.
This argument, and the mockery in the absence of any kind of good argument, has been going on for a long time.
Interesting how a fictitious character named Lehi (you know, from Joseph Smiths imagination), came to this elusive conclusion. “If there is no God we are not, neither the earth; for there could have been no creation of things, neither to act nor to be acted upon; wherefore, all things must have vanished away. And now… I speak unto you these things for your profit and learning; for there is a God, and he hath created all things, both the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are, both things to act and things to be acted upon. And to bring about his eternal purposes in the end… man, he… created our first parents, and the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and in fine, all things which are created…”
Wow! What fertile imagination! 180 years of scientific discovery later, and the only logical conclusion possible, was already reached by Joseph Smith and his imaginary friends.
Everything I have, everything anyone has, is a gift from God. The building, the fine clothes, expensive jewelry, computers, electronics, planes, trains, and automobiles. Fast food. This whole incredible construct of life. A gift.
Science has discovered the existence of life before Adam and Eve walked out of the garden. Even man. 100,000 years of man on this earth. Only six thousand years of man since Adam. So what did the 94,000 years of man look like? A whole lot of time passed with no real change. Just another beast on the earth. Existing.
When Adam walked out of the garden, he came with knowledge of God. Knowledge of science, literature, art. An intricate and expressive language, written and spoken. And the world changed.
And when it changed, man began building an imaginary building. Because even though Adam was well aware of a being with the ability to create and sustain life, the concept is too hard to really grasp, by those whose universe begins and ends with them.
And I was born into this imaginary building. An illusion of the genius of modern man. Seriously, after thousands of years with little or no change in the way life was lived, a series of new and innovative thoughts just started jumping into heads? The industrial revolution just happened because we somehow got smarter?
Like I said, “how do I get out of this building?”
