Philosophy

For centuries, scientific materialism creeped in and has influenced our understanding of nature. This belief holds that everything can be explained through material processes, making the invocation of an immaterial, divine being, unnecessary. Charles Darwin captured the imagination of the past centuries by removing the designer from the equation with his theory of evolution, particularly natural selection through random mutation. Though this theory has been the corner stone of biology and has made great progress; it also aligned with the agenda of humanism, which sought to remove God from the picture, appealing to many thinkers across generations.

As a disclaimer, I am not sharing this to change your perspective on astronomy as it was taught to us in school. This article is simply the result of my personal questioning of the Lunar Landing, which, in my personal belief, was the greatest hoax of the 20th century. I may be wrong in my suspicions, but in the process of seeking the truth, I must validate whether the information released by NASA are all valid. In my research on this matter, I have discovered even deeper findings that, at first, made me laugh. But as my research deepened, many testimonies, based on history, observation, and science, suggest that it is indeed possible the Earth is FLAT and not a GLOBE as we have been taught since childhood. Crazy, right?

In recent years, the rise of the information age and the internet has brought forth renewed attention to a scientific hypothesis rooted in strict biblical fundamentalism from the early 19th century. The notion of a flat earth, fueled by the widespread use of social media, has gained immense popularity on platforms like Youtube, attracting hundreds of millions of views and giving rise to a fervent fascination with conspiracy theories. Although the concept of a flat earth may seem unfamiliar and peculiar to many, it originated in the 1830s as the brainchild of a quack doctor named Parallax.

Juan Luna's magnificent masterpiece "Hymen, oh Hyménée!" has resurfaced to the public and is now being exhibited at the Ayala Museum after 132 years. Luna thrived during a golden period of artistic success from 1884 to 1889, a mere 25 years after the publication of Charles Darwin's groundbreaking scientific treatise "The Origin of Species" which postulated the theory of evolution by natural selection. Later, we will try to see how the concept of multiverse plays within the Mystery of God’s Creation.

The reason why I chose the topic is that after watching the movie Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness by Marvel, I realized that it might be a good idea to discuss where all this madness is coming from. Obviously how it penetrated popular culture, film, comics, video games etc. Another interesting movie in a multiverse setting is Spiderman No Way Home also by Marvel, but for now we will focus on Dr. Strange. Later, we will try to see how the concept of multiverse plays within the Mystery of God’s Creation.
