This article seeks to underscore genetic influences in relation to human mechanisms, based upon Phenotypic Plasticity (ability of individual genes to produce observable changes including appearance, development, and behavior of an organism). This conjugated with the historical cycle of brutality by controlling entities will help assist you in understanding that you are a slave to your genetic programming; our emphasis however will be on freedom from bondage.
Natural selection is a methodology through which populations of organisms acclimatize and adapt based upon environmental factors. Individuals within a said population are inherently varying. The variations within a species indicates that some individuals will develop traits that are superiorly befitting to the environment than others. These traits are called adaptive traits as they enhance survival.
Let’s consider for a moment, individuals within an ancestral population which employ behavioral adaptivity (Phenotypic Plasticity) to respond to their environment. If this adaptive response equates to heightened viability, natural selection would favor individuals that demonstrate the trait earlier on in development. This trait would then be passed on to the offspring.
When Orthodoxy Became an Adaptive Trait:
The Inquisition (Europe 1184) was an influential office set up internally by the Catholic Church to combat and punish heresy, i.e., the “belief or opinion contrary to orthodox religious, especially Christian doctrine” (Oxford Languages). The most deplorable of its manifestations came in Spain in 1478, lasted 356 years and resulted in approximately 32,000 executions. The Inquisition gained considerable infamy for its grievous tortures and persecutions of Jews and Muslims.
In 1563 John Foxe, an Anglican Divine (authoritative theologian on matters of faith and spirituality) publishes, “The Actes and Monuments of the Latter Perilous Dayes,”—an extensive historical account of martyrdom and persecution of Protestants in England and Scotland during the English Inquisition. Foxe recounts 84 Englishmen being burned alive at the stake in one year. Their offense, being “filthye Hereticks.”
Renaissance scholar Giordano Bruno (1548) was tied to a stake, his tongue was cut out and he was set on fire for fostering the theory that God may have populated the universe with other inhabited planets. There were nearly 2 executions per month for 356 years during the Inquisition. These environmental factors of extreme stress over the course of multiple centuries resulted in a genetic response to suppress genes associated with curiosity and rebelliousness.
In cases of extreme stress in the external environment, evolution can take place over the course a few hundred years or less.
Oppositions To Orthodoxy Your Genetic Makeup Won’t Let You Consider:
The Old Testament and New Testament are amalgamated portraying some sort of unification, yet Jesus never mentions Yahweh’s name once in the New Testament. Verily, Jesus seems to be exceedingly distressed by Yahweh when talking to the Pharisees (Yahwehists) in John 8:44.
Jesus further illustrates his disparaging view of Yahweh when he asks, “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish will give him a snake instead?” (Matthew 7:9). Interestingly enough in (Numbers 21:5-6) Yahweh gives his people snakes when they ask for bread…
John 1:18, Jesus speaks saying, no one has seen God. However, in the Old Testament Yahweh reveals himself multiple times (Genesis 3:8-11, Genesis 33:11, Genesis 18, and so on)
Let us move to consider more oppositions to orthodoxy natural selection has suppressed:
In the Hebrew language there is no terminology indicating the word “God” as it us understood in its modern identification (an omnipresent, omnipotent, divine spiritual entity). The oldest word that gets translated as God is Elohim. While often translated in singular form, in actuality it has the form of a masculine plural. When used in the Bible, Elohim is most often times supplemented by plural verb forms surrounding it while exhibiting plural functions namely, conversations, conflicts, and wars.
The aspect of multiple Gods is highlighted by Psalms 82, Yahweh’s first commandment to the Hebrews to “have no other (gods) before me, the El Ba’adat (Council of Power) and Genesis 3:22 – “the man has now become like one of us…”
Current Effects of Phenotypic Plasticity & Altered Human Behavior:
People will argue on behalf of what any authoritative figure who they deem worthy may say. This is not necessarily due to an agreement reached as a result of arriving at a similar conclusion via research, but this comes as an outcome of a genetic adaptative trait for survival that has been hereditarily passed on. Let’s consider some modern-day examples.
Climate Change- The Kyoto Conference (1997) – World leaders gather together to address the issue of climate change and reduce carbon emissions worldwide. Republican lawmakers dismiss the agreement for its unfair demands on developing countries like the United States. Fox News reports three times as many dismissive stories of climate change than supportive stories (2007-2008). Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe (s.1994-2023) says of climate change, “if you say the same lie over and over, people will believe it.”
Climate change is something easily understandable and real…if you question it: When certain things burn like trees or fossil fuels, carbon dioxide is released in the atmosphere. The more trees or fossil fuels burned, the more CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2 traps heat. More CO2 in atmosphere, more heat…hotter planet. What happens if you run a fever?
No Tax on Tips (2025). According to The Congressional Budget Office removing tax on tips adds, $3.5 trillion to the deficit from 2025-34. Adding to the deficit increases inflation. An increase in inflation increases the value of the dollar. An increase in the value of the dollar adds to our trade deficit which stimulates the economies of our economic rivals.
For almost 400 years, submission to authority and the suppression of curiosity equated to survival and viability for humans. From a genetics perspective this response was rational. The conundrum now, however, is that this adaptive mutation has created generations of humans that won’t question anything and will accept everything at face value.
Who’s El Elyon? Why is Yahweh worshiped if he is a junior member of the El Ba’adat? Are tariffs really good or are they just a form of currency manipulation by a country attempting to reverse its trade deficit? Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find. Freedom from bondage awaits you, just ask more questions…
