The Urantia Book

Has anyone read it?

I've borrowed and read much of a publication called The Urantia Book from an acquaintance. Its FASCINATING although I detect hints of eugenicist ideals in certain parts...most of the religious references are so complex yet so logical it makes some sense...it explains the different religions and the origins, much or which seems to fit although im no expert in prehistoric history. Much of the Biblical stories and references are explained (the Satan rebellion, the idea of God, the "angelic hosts" of heaven that kept watch over Earth were not 'angels' - too complicated to explain in a post, what and who Jesus Christ was in the large scheme, the ultimate meaning and purpose of Gods word)...Basically it explains that the universe is so vast and has many worlds and that Earth is but a random world that has hit a major speed bump in spiritual advancement due to Satans rebellion (which spanned many many worlds, ours included and many of the 'angels' defected to Satans side and waged war with Gods side). Because we on earth deviated from Gods path in prehistory (10,000- 6000 BC or so is my guestimate from what i remember) that has led us on the path of constant warfare and animalistic competition between peoples in an age where we had the capabilities to be civil.


.essentially its kind of a science-fiction version of the Bible but I find myself almost believing it because it makes so much more sense and explains everything more thoroughly than religious texts like the Bible and Koran. im taking it all in with a lick of skepticism but it satisfies my religious ponderings and thirst for understanding of the history of ppl from the earliest biped to neanderthals, to homo sapiens to distinct races of homo sapiens (the red man- native amerians and ekimos, the blue man- modern white peoples, the yellow man- mongoloids or east asians, the green man- southeast asians, indigo- africans, orange- unknown, and brown- pacific islanders and aborigines as decendants of earlier waves of humankind. its so in depth that its the biggest and most complex load of bullsh*t or its gotta have some truth to it...i mean its so well written and precise all the way through that it sounds like a grammatical computer wrote it with style.

your thoughts?

if it were made into a series of movies, that would be a plus for humankind.

Sounds a little like L. Ron Hubbard.
science fiction theology- which latter became the basis of the still big cult of scientology.

I can see "Urantology" stemming from the book- maybe its already in existence...personally I enjoyed the book, it made a lot of great points in humanity, civility and general ideals of peace. Parts of it like the parts explaining the "Sons of Paradise" or the "Material Sons of the Father" were soo in depth and cosmic that there is no way to verify or do anything with it. With things in the Bible such as the Flood we can verify today that there was in face no global flood. IF anything that was a ancient prehistoric flood in Mesopotamia 6000BC + where it actually did wipe out all the clans and settlements there leaving one man and his family to survive on a boat. its a great science fiction theological, historical and evolutionary book
