"Consider, if you will, that the Garden of Eden was on another planet, in another galaxy. The planet was populated with humans, men and women or Adam and Eve if you prefer. The population succumbed to evil: hate, murder, racism, genocide. You name it. At the same time, this population was making great advances in science and medicine, delving into areas that were off limits. The Creators of the Universe, masculine and feminine, came one day and scolded the population for becoming evil, and for trying to gain the Creator's' knowledge. They were cast out of planet Eden, and sent to Earth; a penal colony. We were given a probation period with the promise of returning to planet Eden if we fulfilled the conditions of our sentencing. We have failed and our Alien Creators are coming soon. What awaits us?" -- William Folsom

In the beginning we were given the ability, by our creator, to think for ourselves. Free thinking leads to creativity and progress; the more free thinkers, the more progress. We were created with this ability, and it would seem religion has, throughout history, sought to control our thoughts and to squelch our progress toward an awareness of reality. Many of the faithful have forgotten how to question and to ask important questions like, "What if?"
