THERE MUST BE A GOD SOMEWHERE

THERE MUST BE A GOD SOMEWHERE The human race's personality and material development is posited between two alleged polarities, by certain scientists and psychologists. These are the genetic and the environmental extremes. Both alleged extremes are in total disregard of the spiritual. Yet, neither, the genetic, which precedes birth, nor the environmental, which succeeds birth, can explain or account for the infinitely grander spiritual realm which, both, subsumes and encompasses both the genetic and the environmental. It is here, in the realm of the spiritual, in the realm of the soul, that the "scattered and peeled," Isaiah 18:2, Ethiopians, Egyptians, Abyssinians, Hamites, Cushites, Kaffirs, Libyans, and Zanj, especially those disparate Africans in the Americas, and beyond, have so distinguished themselves: inventively, musically, scientifically, technologically, scholastically, athletically, theologically, mathematically, politically, and sociologically, while surviving centuries of brutal and unrelenting onslaught, which should have killed them, as it killed others! Some such persons have even thrived in the midst of this perilously persecuting purgatory! Yes, though beat-down mentally, physically, politically, economically, intellectually from both sides, by Muslim and Christian, as well as from within their own ranks, these "African"-descended persons have survived, through cosmic love, faith, and divine rhythms. Surely, there must be a God somewhere!
