    About this ebook

    Some of the answers to these questions will be most startling. However the way Mecca points out his reasoning, and backs it up with both scientific fact and religious claims, you will see the absolute logic that prevails and the evidence will be indisputable.

    You will find the creation of Man, his origin and evolution to be much different then anything you have ever heard before.

    Mecca

    I was raised Catholic and had a fair understanding of the religious version on the origin of man. What I couldn't understand was that if we were all decendents of Adam and Eve and they had two sons, Cain and Able, who were their sons wives? For years I would prsent this question to anyone who believed in the religious version of creation but would never get an answer. It was fun to stump people with a riddle that seemed to have no answer. But there was one thing I did know, "There was absolutely a correct answer to every legitimate question." Since no one really had the answer to this question, I decided to just find the real answer for myself. With a stong diverse background in business that included 15 years as a detective, I always enjoyed solving riddles and puzzles and became very good at it. There was no doubt in my mind that this answer was out there and I would find it. After years of research, I not only found that answer but along the way, I uncovered the answeres to most of the other great mysteries we had. You will enjoy following the clues, logic and common sense that led to the crystal clear conclusions I present. You will also find that each answer fits perfectly with the others. Mecca

      Forward

      Man has searched for the answers to these questions for more than six thousand years but has been unable to find even one of them. As it stands today, it has boiled down to only two possibilities. Both Science and Religion have offered their versions of the answers, but neither have even come close. Since both of their positions are geometrically opposed to each other, and both tend to disprove the other, it would seem that we don’t have a clue to finding the real answers.

      The Religious version is truly amazing. It relies on thousands of years of brain washing and this thing called Faith. Now, Faith is a condition that once accepted, requires the person to relinquish all of their intelligence, logic and common sense. They are now compelled to believe a story no matter how ridiculous others may see it is. Even when absolute proof shows them it is wrong, they must set aside their common sense and keep the Faith.

      Now for those of us that still have the use of our brains, how can we understand why this Supreme Being hasn’t given some of the answers to his Billions of followers? Why would he force them to stand by a story that has been proven wrong, and that makes no sense like with Adam and Eve being the first people?

      Looking at just this one story will explain what I mean. Religion states with undeniable certainty that Adam and Eve were the first people on Earth. They were placed in the Garden of Eden about 6000 years ago and we are all descendants of theirs.

      To begin with, we now have proof that man has been around for at least three and a half million years. We are all descendants of Adam and Eve yet there are several different races of man. Religion said they only had sons and their sons married and had children. So who were their son’s wives?

      This is the story told in the Bible. It can’t be wrong because it was the word of God, so what can we assume? The fact that even one point is wrong would mean that the Bible was either not the word of God and the stories were made up by man, or there is no God.

      Now if that’s not enough to doubt Religion’s version, we are asked to believe that a Supreme Being came to Earth and personally made Adam out of the dirt on the ground. This is supposed to make more sense than the Scientific version that man evolved from Ape or some other mammal, just as we know that all the plants and animals we see today did.

      This brings us to the version offered by Science. They too have a lot of holes in their story. They can’t even address some of the questions, but the fact is, the Big Bang theory and Darwin’s theory of evolution not only seem logical, but very possible. The problem with evolution is where’s the missing link? This is to mean that period of time where the Ape, (let’s just assume it was the Ape) became man. Now we’re not looking for one particular Ape, or even a generation of Apes that suddenly gave birth to man, but a long period of time, maybe several hundred thousand years when the Ape gradually evolved into Man.

      The reason that this is such a big problem is not because we just haven’t found it, but how could we have missed it? We have uncovered the history of this planet layer by layer. We have gone back hundreds of millions of years and have documented the types and forms of life at various periods in time. They traced the existence of man for millions of years and noted the changes that took place in his appearance through evolution. The way he lived indicated his intelligence level to be very low. After millions of years of evolution he had advanced very little until suddenly, 6000 years ago, intelligent man appeared. We have 10 times the amount of information and ability needed to prove the answer to this question, but are unable to. This can only mean one thing. We have the wrong answer.

      Both science and religion have taken a certain position and each is sure they are right and the other is wrong. But, the fact is, they are both wrong. They both made the same mistake. They both determined what the answer must have been, then tried to get the clues to fit. Religion took a certain interpretation of the Bible, and Science said that all life must have started in the sea, and everything we see today evolved from there.

      It would now seem hopeless to be able to find the answers to these questions since the only two possibilities have been eliminated. On the other hand, remember one thing, there is an absolute answer to every legitimate question. Sometimes even the most simple puzzle, brain teaser or card trick may seem impossible to solve because your mind has been programed to think in a certain way. But once the solution is revealed to you, it was so simple you feel foolish.

      There are always a couple of wrong answers to any good riddle, but they never quite fit. The right answer however, fits perfectly with logic and common sense. This is how you will find the answers to the questions I posed. They will be crystal clear with no missing pieces, and every piece will fit perfectly with the other.

      Sometimes, even the most obvious answer that’s backed with proof and facts may not be accepted by someone with a closed mind. I was told once that it’s impossible to convince someone that you’re not a camel. I said, That’s ridiculous, I’m not a camel. He said, Yes you are. I said, But a camel has humps, I don’t have humps. He said, You’re hiding them. But camels can’t talk, I’m talking. He said, You’re just saying that to fool me. This went on for 10 minutes, and you know something? He was right. I just might be a camel.

      So unless you have a closed mind, and you think that I’m a camel, you’re really going to enjoy this book.
