I have always loved folk lore and cultural stories, and I had never actually taken the time to catalogue the archetypes for truth or common origin. But, others have and sort of decided for the rest of the world, so they would not need the actual sources, that they were all the same. I watched a particular video where the person reasoned out how utterly unlikely such common tropes denoted a common source, but rather a common humanity.
OK, that is where I started, but as I thought to myself, EXACTLY, it is that humanity that we share and it's origin must naturally be common, so whatever you call your diety, we are all alike because we share an ancestry. I have always wondered why the name of Father was chosen, and it makes alot of sense the way we think of relationships. A father creates children who are all his family, then it is his focus to create a home for them... but, this is just skimming the surface, dare I try to dive deeper verbally? I'll try...
It starts with black holes. Do they even exist? What are they? In Philosophy 101 at Ole Miss I decided that any thing was defined by it's purpose. My main example was a butter knife, could also be a screw driver, uh what is a screw driver? It is not defined as a butter knife, but as a tool to accomplish something. So, we know about black holes by noting what they accomplish. We notice the effects of something, a variable defined as a black hole... jumping back... I suspect that in their own ways each culture defined an unknown through stories. And that individually, we can know things, and then algebraically splice them together to understand what is...eh, that's my best attempt. I don't know how to use words that will yet, sorry.
