I will use this post to address evidence 1 (many tribes believing in monotheism) to support claim (monotheism developed independently from abrahamic faiths) from my previous post. Multiple independent occurances of monotheism should signal urmonotheismus. Now we will examine the aqeedah (belif) of various tribes around the world that are not influenced by Abrahamic monotheism. NOTE: If you haven't read the first part of this series, click here! Gikuyu According to to John Mbiti, the Gĩkũyũ people of modern Kenya believed that: "Ngai or mwene-nyaga is the Supreme Creator and giver of all things. He created the first Gĩkũyũ communities, and provided them with all the resources necessary for life: land, rain, plants, and animals. Ngai cannot be seen but is manifested in the sun, moon, stars, comets and meteors, thunder and lightning, rain, rainbows, and in the great fig trees (Mugumo)." "The Gĩkũyũ were – and still are – monotheists believing in an o...

The name came from smashing the words Ur and monotheism together. Ur was the city in Mesopotamia that Ibrahim (AS) used to live in and monotheism is the worship of one God. Urmonotheismus is the anthropological theory states that all religions devolved from monotheism; man was originally monotheistic, then degenerated into pantheism (everything is divine) or henotheism (one supreme deity and lesser deities) or polytheism (multiple deities), totemism (idol worship), and then animism (spirits). The term was first coined by Andrew Lang in 1898 who opposed the idea of 'revolutionary monotheism'. Urmonotheism is the same as the Islamic point of view, (as Adam was a Muslim), so of course I will be biased. However, I have evidence outside of Islam to support this anthropological theory. Should this theory be true, it would solve the question of timeliness. This is a question that I have made up and (there probably is a real name for it). It goes like this, "How were you supp...

Ultimately environmentalism and capitalism are antagonists to each other. This is in honor of earth week. Capitalism’s philosophical basis is that everyone works hard for their own personal gain and by doing so, providing each other with goods and services that benefit the society (i.e. the consumer). Each contributes to society and is rewarded by society to their own degrees. However through this, a detrimental effect to the third party (greater society) is created and is not compensated for (pollution). For example, if I produced water bottles, I would just be concerned with how I can increase my profits by increasing my revenue and decreasing my costs. By producing and selling water bottles, I contribute to the benefit of the consumer (hence make profit) but this transaction will also harm the greater society via pollution (this is a negative externality). If the producer were to take the environment around them into consideration, they would have to create the bottles prop...
