I’m thinking of buying the Urantia Book for some friends. Some religious, some not. Is that a good idea?

/in

I think it is a very common experience among those who read this book to want to share it with family and friends. And it does appeal to both religious and non-religious people, although some people who are quite happy in their religious beliefs could dismiss it as irrelevant for them. On the other hand, if you know religious folks who are still searching for “something” more, they might be a perfect fit for the book. Sometimes, non-religious people are drawn to the book’s science, history, and cosmology and discover along the way that the book’s take on religion is a breath of fresh air.

In the end, The Urantia Book appeals most strongly to the truthseeker…that person who wants to know more about the purpose of life, about reality, about God, about Jesus, about life after death, and who are not afraid to step outside of their comfort zone to find that truth.

Keep in mind that this book is not exactly a casual read. You know your friends better than I do, so I would say that you should evaluate their possible interest with their personalities as you know them. I don’t want to discourage you, but I would advise you to be prepared to face rejection of your efforts.

Modern Man Believed to Have History with Neanderthal

In an article on Archaeology.org, a new species of man should be re-named Homo bodoensis, after a 600,000-year-old skull found in Bodo D’ar, Ethiopia, in 1976. The classification of H. bodoensis would replace H. heidelbergensis and H. rhodesiensis, and include most of the fossils from this time period from Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean. Many of the fossils from Europe would then be reclassified as Neanderthals.”  Read More 

The Urantia Book says: “In general and to start with, the Sangik tribes were more intelligent than, and in most ways far superior to, the deteriorated descendants of the early Andonic plainsmen; and the mingling of these Sangik tribes with the Neanderthal peoples led to the immediate improvement of the older race. It was this infusion of Sangik blood, more especially that of the blue man, which produced that marked improvement in the Neanderthal peoples exhibited by the successive waves of increasingly intelligent tribes that swept over Europe from the east.”  Read More

More Humans All Over the Universe

Scientists Say There May Be More “Humans” All Over the Universe “In short, convergent evolution theory posits that evolution itself is a law of nature — and, as a logical endpoint, it’s likely that evolution would operate the same way on different planets as it does here on Earth. In other words, it’s theoretically possible that the blue and green alien humanoids you see on “Star Trek” could be, well, actually out there.”  Read More
