According to Catholic doctrine:

>all men inherit ancestral sin from Adam;
>God descended upon Earth as the Son in order to free mankind from this sin, was crucified, died etc.

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

>Adam and Eve transmitted to their descendants human nature wounded by their own first sin and hence deprived of original holiness and justice; this deprivation is called "original sin".

The theory of evolution states that we (as Homo Sapiens) gradually evolved from other creatures. This implies—if we don't misinterpret the theory—that Adam and Eve never existed. We evolved gradually as an entire population of tens of thousands over a very slow period of time. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdWLhXi24Mo

If Adam and Eve never existed, no one fell, and we cannot inherit ancestral sin from no one. Moreover, there wasn't any reason which Jesus had to be born for, anything he had to free us from.

The Catechism states, "The account of the fall in Genesis 3 uses figurative language, but affirms a primeval event, a deed that took place at the beginning of the history of man. Revelation gives us the certainty of faith that the whole of human history is marked by the original fault freely committed by our first parents"

Pope Pius writes:

>The faithful cannot embrace that opinion which maintains that either after Adam there existed on this earth true men who did not take their origin through natural generation from him as from the first parent of all, or that Adam represents a certain number of first parents. Now it is in no way apparent how such an opinion can be reconciled with that which the sources of revealed truth and the documents of the Teaching Authority of the Church propose with regard to original sin, which proceeds from a sin actually committed by an individual Adam and which, through generation, is passed on to all and is in everyone as his own.

Are the Gaelic languages of the British Isles closer to Germanic or Romantic languages?

DNA evidence doesn't always go hand in hand with linguistics of course, but we can usually see relativity in the former with locations and neighbouring relationships between two areas, ie. Belgium and the Netherlands, the Netherlands and Germany, Sweden and Norway, Ireland and Scotland, etc. With this in mind, the British Isles is located notably closer to say, Germany, than it is to Spain, yet both of these nations have Celtic in their history. This also pushes the question of what Celtic really is, because it's a word the Romans and Greeks used to define a group which emerged from like Turkey or something and spread all across Europe thousands of years ago. However it is also a word we associate with the native Brits as well as the French Gauls, and the Iberians too who claim some Celt-Iberian heritage or what have you.

When we look at the languages of these places which claim this heritage, we can hear the similarities between Gaelic (especially with its throaty 'ch's that German also has), yet I can't think of any similarities with French (which I speak decently, as do I with German). Then again I speak no Gaelic so I can't comment on that.

Also, physically usually, one cannot tell your average German, Scots, or Irishman apart, although sometimes it's certainly obvious, but this is the same with say the Spanish in accordance to these listed three. Ireland and Germany have very high concentrations of blue eyes, but Spain not nearly as high.

In short, where do these Celts really originate from? What of their languages and whatnot?

Pic related is a genetic relativity map for reference to what I'm talking about.
What do you think?

Do you think we could send out a message to the rest of the world?

One that would stir a change in people?

One that would inspire hope and courage to overcome petty differences?

Enough to settle our differences and bring about an era of peace and thus prosperity as a result of human collective collaboration?


Can we do it because we could work together to create a piece of literature that can stir base levels of emotion to forgo fear and abandon the power the few cling to the little this planet has in comparison to what the universe could have?

I just don't understand why we fight over so little of a piece of everything.

We can discover all the mysteries. All the wonders. All the experiences. Maybe not all of us individually but all of us could have so much more of such small pieces of the universe if we just collectively tried.

It is what we are working towards anyways. Why can we not get there faster?
Why do we cling to such old systems still?
We do so few hold so much power?
Why don't we see the power we have as a collective?

Why don't we stop the violence over what little makes us seem so different?
Why don't we exercise our power to provide? How can there not be enough if we work together?

What were some notoriously lawless areas in history? Areas like the Scottish Border or the American frontier where people had to enforce their own rights and government/law officials fought tooth and nail just to keep the whole shitshow going? Blood feuds, cattle raids that sort of stuff.
