Da Vinci didn’t see the future

He only observed and tried to interpret his present – brilliantly I might add, but modern prophecy nuts might be inclined to turn Da Vinci and Isaac Newton into fruitcakes, which is most definitely not correct and certainly not right.
Da Vinci and his prophecies sounds all like complete and total primitive crap.
Da Vinci was one very smart dude.
But now people who are wacked have perhaps spent years trying to read stupid crap into things that he drew, painted, designed and built. It’s just nuts. He wrote things about floods and potential possibilities, and was really not primitive, just hiding from the church, and he observed things in nature around him and in events, and was able to mentally extrapolate into possibilities. And then “modern” man comes along and re-invents all his musings of the observations he made into prophetic visions. Yoiks – a stretch without the mind of a Da Vinci.
Isaac Newton was apparently into figuring out prophetical rubbish from the bible – my guess is he was simply a scientific mind trying to mentally reconcile the rubbish in the bible with what he was observing about the real physical world.
In the beginning Man created God in his own image. I’ll bet he didn’t write the bible either. Although the bible is very likely a history of legends, much of which could well be based on real events, but they are real events with non-supernatural causes – just that the folks of the day didn’t understand the natural physical causes of things like floods, comet strikes and volcanic eruptions.
Does the world have to be constantly swayed by the primitive, the fanciful, the over-dramatic, and dare I say it – the unintelligent?
For example, if one looks deeply into the Mayan culture one will find firstly they were simply a bunch of barbaric primitives who spent lots of time looking at the heavens, and could very well have figured out alignments of planets and really huge shiny things (or non-shiny things too) in the center of the galaxy. Perhaps it was not the Mayans who intended that they’re fascination with time should be interpreted as prophecy (modern day necromancing charlatans did), and that they were really struggling to understand their own world with their primitive and scientifically under-privileged ways of thinking, the only way they could understand it (reference Isaac Newton above). Perhaps it is possible that fruitcakes from our so called modern and enlightened age have read way, way, way too much into nothing, yet again! They have a to make a living I guess.
The fact is this – bad shit will happen – including comets, asteroids, wandering black holes, wars, floods, mega-tsunamis, and calamities in general – and the only predictive capabilities we have are that if we are lucky we see something coming we might have a half a chance of getting out of the way (maybe). And we’d probably be doing that with a telescope – invented by a scientist not a necromancer, crystal ball gazer or religious zealot? Or has someone found his predictions of the future from Galileo as well? Or the other dude who invented the lense he used? ‘Scuse the pun perhaps but “Gawd help us”.
And I really don’t mean to offend people but when I see things on TV and continually hear people trying to tell me that they believe this, that and the other – and they wonder why I don’t – I find I have to argue back with cold-hard logic. There is no God. I’m sorry. This life is short and it really is what you make of it. Life might be about the love you give and receive and what you leave behind, all with respect to the people in your life – and if you only take you will probably not be remembered in a good way and you’ll probably be shallow, empty and miserable. And life is also about taking responsibility and taking credit for yourself, not assigning it as God’s will so think about it this way: just suppose for a second that God doesn’t actually exist – who’s responsible for your actions other than you? Nobody! And if you do something good, right, or that makes the world a better place? Don’t you think you deserve at least a thank-you? From someone tangible that you can hear saying it to you? And not from some thing up in the heavens that you might have to be hallucinating to hear from? You see like anyone else, I’m not really a fanatic as the religiously enlightened (or disenlightened) might think – and I don’t really believe what I believe in – I just know I’m right! If you don’t? Well then perhaps some day you will become enlightened and perhaps then you will get to benefit from living your life to its full potential
