    About this ebook

    This short piece takes a look at the implications of one voice in the present discourse on the historical Adam. Denis Lamoureux is a bright and totally well meaning. For this reason alone, a light-hearted response is appropriate. Surely, given all that we know about human evolution, a revision of the traditional doctrine of Original Sin may be inevitable. The problem is, given all that we do not know, then we may be in for a surprise.
    Here, the surprise comes in the form of a twist. The ideas of Julian Jaynes are used to set the stage for appreciating the dilemma within Lamoureux’s paradigm shift.

      Here is One Twist

      Here is Another Scenario

      Is the Twist Already Happening?

      Conclusion

      Introduction

      0001 In 1976, psychologist Julian Jaynes published a book with a disturbing title: The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind (2000. Mariner Books : New York) .

      Yes, bicameral means schizophrenic, which literally translates into divided brain.

      The bicameral brain works like this: The brain is divided. However, one side of the brain can speak to the other. The communication takes the form of a proclamation. Today, this is typical of the mental illness schizophrenia.
