THE HISTORY OF GOD, CIVILIZATION AND ASTRONOMY

 Whenever we refer to God we refer to the religious God of the Hindus, Muslims, Christians or Buddhists or many other religions and various other forms of God.

 That is not the topic here. Here we are speaking of the history of the Gods, Our Civilization and the history of Astronomy.

 Hinduism was probably started over 3000yrs ago. Islamic activities merged with other followings more than 1700 yrs before. The Christian calendar started 2014 yrs before and more is evident BC. We can say something about the Mayan calendar and more about Chinese Confucianism and its history and relate them to about a few thousand years. Overall it can be concluded that God in his form may have existed for about 5000 years whatever the faith.

 Now let us talk about civilization. We could go back to the Stone age, the Bronze age and the Iron age and go back in time by about 50000 yrs. Colonization began about 40000yrs ago. Cultures started thriving about 32000 yrs before. Domestication of cattle including dogs, pigs began about 20000 yrs ago. Cultivation began about 10000 yrs ago. Writing was invented about 5000 yrs before. Dynasties grew, kingdoms began and then religions spread. Civilization thus has a history of 50000 yrs.

  According to the Big Bang theory the cosmos was born 13.4 billion yrs ago. Humans created all about God and mythology hardly dating back to few thousand yrs. That the sun spreads light and keeps the earth going is a fact. That the tilt to the earth’s axis creates the seasons is a fact that fosters harvest is a reality. So the nature knows the happenings taking place for billions of years more than any of God or civilization and the energy it spreads kindles every iota. Let us celebrate the truth.
