Shattering Humanity-Chapter 401: The Purpose Of Matter

"I must now say a few words on the circumstances, favourable, or the reverse, to man’s power of selection.

A high degree of variability is obviously favourable, as freely giving the materials for selection to work on; not that mere individual differences are not amply sufficient, with extreme care, to allow of the accumulation of a large amount of modification in almost any desired direction. But as variations manifestly useful or pleasing to man appear only occasionally, the chance of their appearance will be much increased by a large number of individuals being kept; and hence this comes to be of the highest importance to success.

On this principle Marshall has remarked, with respect to the sheep of parts of Yorkshire, that ’as they generally belong to poor people, and are mostly in small lots, they never can be improved.’ On the other hand, nurserymen, from raising large stocks of the same plants, are generally far more successful than amateurs in getting new and valuable varieties. The keeping of a large number of individuals of a species in any country requires that the species should be placed under favourable conditions of life, so as to breed freely in that country.

When the individuals of any species are scanty, all the individuals, whatever their quality may be, will generally be allowed to breed, and this will effectually prevent selection. But probably the most important point of all, is, that the animal or plant should be so highly useful to man, or so much valued by him, that the closest attention should be paid to even the slightest deviation in the qualities or structure of each individual.

Unless such attention be paid nothing can be effected." -Excerpt From ’On The Origin Of Species’ , Chapter 1 Part 12: Circumstances Favourable to Man’s Power of

Selection.

Persephone Narr.: "Liquid.

Gas.

Solid.

Plasma.

Quintillions of H²O molecules are poured into your ice tray every time you refill it.

Those molecules are still present when that water is solidified, and also when it is dropped and left on hot asphalt.

The solid melts, and transforms back into a puddle of liquid. Eventually, under the same transferred radiation from the sun, that puddle of water molecules ’disappears’ from under our naked human eye.

It’s been taught to most middle schoolers, the first law of thermodynamics is ’neither matter or energy cannot be created, nor destroyed. Only changed.’

The second law states, ’the more forms of matter interacting with one another nonstop, results in an increase of the universe’s overall entropy and disorder, or wasted energy.’

The third law states, ’the entropy of a perfect crystal is absolute zero. If there is no heat at absolute zero, then no wasted energy can exist’."

[20 Million Years Before Leviathan’s Invasion]

{Current Day Asia}

About 46 million years after the Chicxulub Impact, during a time referred to by archeologist as the Neogene Period, the planet’s drifting tectonic land masses are closely formed into what is recognized as Earth’s geological formations today.

Persephone Narr.: "The commitment towards legitimizing life works and giving the laymen who want something, anything to believe in.

Highly reputable and agreed upon beliefs, taught and revised throughout generations.

From ’the fencepost’, the belief that science and mathematics are the definitive answers to the universe, can be seen as the ironic contrast to another ’existential coping mechanism’.

Whether it be the dictated works of God or irrefutable scientific proof, everyone wants an explanation as to why we exist, and to know about the wonders of the infinite.

All the while losing focus on the extremely limited and irreversibly fragile happiness we are currently surround by."

Life on the planet is once again thriving. Smaller mammals, birds, and coldblooded reptilians are doing their part as living, thermodynamic systems.

From the trees, the origin of the Hominidae, or the "Great-Ape" species, travels the lands.

Around this time, it is believed to be the beginning to the most distant taxonomically ranked family, or ancestors, to modern day humans(Homo sapiens).

Persephone Narr.: "If all universal matter exists to change and create unstable epothy, does that mean living, organic, conscious, thermodynamic systems such as humans, are meant to do the same?

For something with a observable laws like gravity and matter to exist, someone has to create it in the first place. Only then can laws of physics and nature be attached to said creation.

If an omnipotent ’Creator’ is the answer, where did that being who created our universe come from?

Are there infinite universes, making the discovery of the truth as possible as living in open space alone?"

The migrating clan of tailless, upright monkeys carefully make their way to a flowing fresh water river.

Some drink, while others eat. Some of the wild apes chase each other around and accidentally jump on an older member trying to nap.

Persephone Narr.: "Conflicting beliefs, incapable of compromise.

Multiple factions focused solely on observing the world around them in the ways they want to believe...

The most brilliant and unique minds believing in the visible patterns of science and mathematics.

Because of certain mindsets, undeterred by the threats of God’s wrath, humanity has been blessed with modern medicine, technology bettering quality of life, and answers/theories to some of the universe’s most mystifying questions.

As where the most imaginative, and emotional mindsets which continuously acknowledge the constant visible patterns of inspirational spirituality, and an invisible sense of unity created by true believers fighting through hardships, striving for a common goal. Together, under their shared umbrella of the truth."

While the traveling tribe of "apes" consume their necessary replenishments, one of them, a youngling, hears something behind some shrubbery close by that catches his attention.

Curious, and with no modern day helicopter parenting to stop him from possible danger, the earliest ’model/version’ of the human child separates itself from the rest of the colony, and struts it’s way towards the steady repetitive rustling noises of a branch full of leaves, and the percussion beat of rocks hitting together.

Persephone Narr.: "Over the course of their physical evolution, the human mind has had to evolve in unison with their ever adapting vessels. The early versions of intelligent humans were able to notice ’patterns’ around them with the available senses they had.

After experiencing the relentless dangers of life, watching others die, and having survived near death encounters themselves, primitive man realized the larger, more dangerous animals with whom they shared the world with, were not capable of throwing rocks or to chuck spears like them."

The small, prehistoric ape slowly cranes his neck in genuine confusion to the melodic patterns of rustling leaves and the banging of rocks behind the shrubs and bushes.

However, once the intrigued primate hears the crunching of bones, the innate fight or flight response kicks in.

Persephone Narr.: "It was the continued practice of comprehension by our steadily advancing primitive ancestors, which eventually evolved into ’common sense’. It is an evolved, complex sense, reminding every human who has ever touch something hot, to be weary of too much heat. (’the Father’)

Paired with all natural paternal emotions, common sense aided pre-human parents in helping ensure their child didn’t get injured or killed.(’the Son’)

Sooner than later, unfortunate accidents occur, and from the heart wrenching information absorbed by our senses, that ’common sense’ evolves into ’the theory of mind’, or more importantly, empathy.(’the Holy Ghost’)" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The young, prehistoric ape, the equivalent to a modern day human child, turns to reunite with his group, but a small human hand, it’s fingernails sloppily painted green, reaches out from the brush. The defensless mammal is snatched and disappears into the shrubbery.

High pitched screeches of panic and pain are quickly silenced but loud enough to startle the group away.

Persephone Narr.: "’Common sense’ creates false-beliefs in security. Humans have become more and more dependent on their 5 senses, along with the voices of science and mathematics, as the only definitive tools needed to answer any questions.

Because our own form of complex life would not exist without an abundant source of water molecules, it is believed, if there are other living beings within our universe, they must also emerge from a ’primordial soup’ containing identical ingredients."

From the bushes, the destructive, murderous, blonde haired little girl with piercing blue eyes, and splattered blood on her face.

Even though it’s been millions of years since her out of place emergence from the ocean, the girl seems to have aged only 2 or 3 years.

She scans the area and a snatches a small bird out of the air, crushing it, then tossing it to the ground in disregard.

[Current Day]

{Nephilim’s Home}

Sitting up in her bed, Persephone is typing away at the keyboard on the screen.

She stops to look at an encyclopedia by her side, opened at a page with the header ’Thermodynamics’. The low light from her gifted tablet illuminating her focused face as she documents her thoughts.

Persephone(thinking): *With the rest of her body clean, her white dress unstained, the mysterious "11 year old girl" continues roaming the world. Killing any living thing moving in her path.

Unknown to her or future scientist, this little girl and her violent actions are the main influence towards humans eventually evolving the way they did.

’Monkey see, monkey do.’"

There’s a knock at her door and a shaking Eden slowly pokes her head in.

Eden: "G-G--Good Morning, P-Persephone.

Are y-you up?"

Persephone smiles and nods at her foster sister.

Persephone: "Technically, I’ve been up the past couple of hours, doing some scientific research. Trying to make this idea I’ve come up with work.

I won’t lie, to some people who read this Chapter, I probably sound outright crazy or stupid, but to me, it’s fun to come up with ’yea, but what ifs’.

I wouldn’t have been able to phrase it without your gift, Eden!"
