Questions about Evolution&Creationism (& Stan Grof)

3 posts in this topic

I have been reading tons of books this year. and I had a wonderful chance to read several articles written by Stanislav Grof this week.

Quite impressive it was. Above all, all those quotations from "Cosmic Game" about the Nihil -> Being were wonderful. 

However, I couldn't understand why he supported Creationism at the very end of his book, you know referring Male Peacock and so on...

Is this something usual idea in this field or his own unique perspective?

I do not believe that understanding(or at least accepting the idea of) God does not mean that also allowing Creationism.

I mean uh... you know the Creationism which allows anthropomorphic God.

this reminded me of some ideas from Descartes and Plato against atheism which insisted that most of the misunderstandings about God are caused by understanding God in a humane manner. Not as a God but as a god.

If there is any thread that summarized this forum's generic idea about Evolution & Creationism please let me know.

Love you guys! Peace!

Depends on what you mean by "creationism".

If you mean it in the silly Christian sense where the Earth is 5000 years old and humans lived alongside dinosaurs, and evolution never happened, then that's false.

But if you mean it in the sense that an Infinite Intelligence designed the whole universe in its own Mind, that is true.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.
