The Cromagnon man, as the literature calls him, was named after the locality where he was discovered, and he was a man in the true sense of the word. Homo sapiens lived throughout Europe and, understandably, elsewhere. He lived at the end of the Wurmian Ice Age about 15,000 years ago. He formed numerous ancestral communities. Furthermore, he was nourished by large animals such as the woolly rhinoceros, the giant deer Megaceros, the mammoth, the bear, and the bison. Catching such animals requires good hunting organization. The primary hunting weapon was the spear, the effectiveness of which was multiplied by the thrower.

Meat supplies from slaughtered animals lasted for a long time. A more significant from this period processed almost everything. Fat, skin, bones, horns, teeth, antlers, hooves, tendons. He even found a part for artistic activities. A sense of beauty and a sense of faith were developed in man. A belief that he was not alone. A belief that he is not alone, that there is a great Spirit that will bring successful hunting and success in life. Sin did not exist; man did not think of evil. He did not know it. Human sacrifice did not exist. He had no fear of nature. The man performed religious acts out of gratitude. Some primitive tribes of Australia or South America confirm this. They do not live in animosity and do not know evil. Where civilization has not penetrated, they have not observed hostility from pride, avarice, envy, anger, etc. If I believe in the favor and guidance of the Great Spirit, I will not fear Him and need not woo Him. But I need to ask him, thank him. I only need to propitiate God when I feel and know that I have offended Him and done something wrong. So I feel guilty. Guilt is caused by sin. So I have to see the sin first. Exactly when the knowledge of evil and the commission of sin occurred in the human race is impossible. Rousseau once said. The first man who fenced his land and said. This is mine, and I found someone who believed he founded inequality and exploitation.

It is named after the place of discovery in Germany, Neanderthal, who left behind all the signs that he was aware of his addiction—but not a dependence on nature, as Marxist philosophers teach. According to them, man formed religious ideas due to this dependence or helplessness on the forces of nature. The reality was turned upside down like an apple lying on the ground invented an apple tree.
Religious sentiments arose due to the realization of dependence on a higher, more perfect being. God. If the Marxists were correct that man in his ignorance showed fear of nature, fear of natural phenomena, fear of the future, fear of tomorrow, he would not have survived a century at that time, let alone hundreds of thousands of years. Fear of nature did not exist. The man was part of nature and perceived it as such. The man felt he was not alone. It was this feeling that led man to ask the question. Where are you? He began to search for God and is still searching for Him today. He searched for him in everything that surrounded him. From the feeling of the existence of God, love gradually began to awaken in man. The love of man for man. The love of man for God. The origin of love would be inexplicable. Love cannot be degraded to mere sexual feeling, as in animals. Human love stands incomparably higher.

In books, we can read about the activities of Neanderthals about the size of the brain. We do not read books about the capacity to love. Therefore, the question is legitimate. Could a Neanderthal love? This is a much more important feature of humanity. It is and will be. The Neanderthal certainly loved. For without love, he would not have escaped destruction. Unlike man today, he attributed nothing to chance. Neanderthals also lived in Slovakia, specifically in the Poprad basin. A brain cast of a Gánov Neanderthal has been preserved. Neanderthals lived there about 200 thousand years ago. Younger Neanderthals lived in Slovakia 70 thousand to 15 thousand years before Christ.

Man is constantly aware of the inability to create paradise on Earth. With his immense desire, he recognized that he needed a kind of “third” to guarantee this fact. He needs a savior. It’s about which “savior” is looking for and what it expects from it.

 As the Letter to the Hebrews reminds us, Christians believe Christ is their savior. He, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, exalted above the heavens, can reconcile humanity with God and establish order in him. He can “save forever those who come to God through him because he always lives to intercede for them.”

As miracles remind us, Christ’s salvation does not stop in the flesh. He wants to hit the human heart, that is, the whole person. He wants to reshape him and make him capable of love. After all, many are afraid of such a touch of God. However, if they search sincerely, they will reveal “how much better is the contract to which (Christ) is the mediator, because it is based on better promises.”

Order and laws in the world, harmony everywhere. All this cannot be a game of chance. So we can infer the existence of God by our intellect. Scripture gives the creation in a culture of about 3OOO years ago. Creation happened in order, over ages – the world has evolved – and God’s creation is constantly maintained by his handiwork, called providence. The order of creation: primordial matter is created, the heavenly bodies are formed. God chose the Earth and made it habitable for life. Life appeared on Earth: first plants, then animals, then man. God created not only a visible world, but also an invisible world, the world of angels. They have reason and free will, they are spiritual beings, they have nobody. There are several groups, 9 are mentioned in the Scriptures. Some of them serve humans – they are the guardian angels – the others serve God. In the beginning all the angels were good, some of them rebelled with Lucifer at the head, these became the devils, the bad angels, evil spirits. God cast them into hell. They are no more powerful than God, even if today it seems that their power is great, the ultimate victory belongs to God.

Seeing the created world, we conclude that there must be someone, a Master, who created this world, made it, arranged it. if the elements according to the Mendeleev table were to be mixed at random, i.e. what-with, how-much-of-how-much, so that the basic material of protein, amino acid, would be created, then the probability that the suitable compound would be created is as small as this ratio: 1:1O OOOOOOOO…- I can write 16O zeros in a row, i.e. if since the creation of the material world – which is about 15 billion years, – one combination would be created every second, even today all possibilities are not exhausted, and that is only the amino acid molecule…! To leave strain evolution to chance is as nonsense as saying that, for example. a tornado-like whirlwind blows the rubbish around for 2 hours, and when the wind stops, there shines a modern supersonic aircraft, with all the screws, plates, handles and switches in place, you just have to sit in it and start it up…, for anyone who believes this, the explanation without a creator God is “logical”. The master is praised by his work. God is spoken of by the created world. God exists from eternity, there is no beginning or end to his existence. Being a soul, he is invisible to us. He is omnipresent: no one can hide from him, nothing is unknown to him. His faculties are infinite: he knows everything, can do everything, knows what was, knows what will be. Human language has difficulty in expressing the perfection of God. It is easier to say what is not God, what is not God. That is why it was forbidden to pronounce God’s name, lest it be imperfectly named, and why it was forbidden to make a picture or statue of him. Even primitive peoples consider God to be the Great Spirit, who is the ancestor of all living things. The Scriptures call God YAHUVEH, we call God our Father, we even say that He is Love. He is infinitely holy, just, good, faithful, merciful and forgiving and loves all people. We believe in one God. Before our time – before Christ – only the Jews were of one God. First they built a Holy Tent, later a Temple in his honor. Following Jesus’ teaching, the first and most important tenet of Christian doctrine became that there is only one God. This concept spread throughout the world, with most believers in God believing in one God. Implicit in the Old Testament (God speaks of himself in the plural, the seraphic say three times: holy thou art, holy thou art…), Jesus’ teaching is explicit that the one God is three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We confess that the Father is the Creator, the Son is the Redeemer and the Holy Spirit is the sanctified. The three divine persons are called in one word the Trinity. It is San inconceivable creed, humbly accepted even if our minds cannot grasp it. Let us think of the case of St Augustine, when God sent him a message in the form of a little child: it is useless to wonder, you cannot understand the mystery of the Trinity….We confess our faith in the Trinity when we make the sign of the cross – that is, when we make the sign of the cross – in the name of the Trinity. What we need to know about the three divine Persons is summarized in the Apostles’ Creed – I believe in one… RESOLUTION. I am trying to infuse my life: my thoughts, my words, my actions, with the spirit of wisdom… It is true that the Holy Spirit will perfect this gift in me, but until then, I want to do everything in this spirit, I am waiting for the Holy Spirit to perfect me in this!

Molecular biology has proven that Australopithecus diverged from the human evolutionary lineage to a dead end and became extinct. Unfortunately, no direct descendants have been found, but one step more perfect ancestors have been found, which based on their working ability, have been called Homo habilis—a man of skill. Many stone tools have been found in Kenya. The discoverer of this ancestor of today’s man was the famous paleontologist Louis S.B. Laeky. This ancestor lived more than 2 million years ago. However, it must be remembered that this ancestor did not live in history apart from other creatures like him, like some perfect predator from whom everyone learned. Homo habilis is not a direct descendant of Australopithecus. He is more advanced but not so much intellectually as he is industrially. But this development is significant. Working skill does not mean that he is aware of the supernatural in addition to himself. From the Christian point of view, a man of skill is not yet a real man. A better scientific view of this genus would be Hominoid habilis, the skillful ancestor of man. For man’s actual ancestors, we go to another continent, Asia. Not that man did not continue to evolve in Africa, but the upright man Homo erectus has the primacy in Asia. He deserves the name, man. He lived throughout Asia and Africa about a million years ago. The Dutch physician Eugène Dubois discovered in Java a skull and later a man’s femur strikingly similar to a human’s. From its shape as a physician, he concluded that the creature to which it belonged must have walked upright. The name Pithecanthropus erectus was coined. Homo erectus wasn’t just significant because he walked on two legs. He had a much larger brain and lived in packs. More significant is his mental development, which outpaced all known animals at the time, He could defend himself, hunt, process prey in a way that no animals do. The birth of an intelligent being like Homo erectus cannot be only the work of nature but, at the same time, the work of something higher, superior to both nature and man himself. Homo erectus used sign language supplemented by monosyllabic sounds, which gave the basis for future words. There arose an intense need for belonging that could overcome distress and danger. Here, too, was born a sense of the Creator. It emerged slowly and gradually, marked by setbacks, hardships, pain, and sorrow. All these qualities were inherent in Homo erectus. Homo erectus survived in conditions in which even today’s man, with his technical conveniences, would have had to do.

When the Russian writer F. M. Dostoevsky lay on his deathbed, asking his wife Anna to call the children. When the children gathered, he had just finished reading the parable of the prodigal son. Dostoevsky told the children: “This place gives Christians the greatest comfort. When we sin, we ignore God’s commandments, but God still loves us. When we return to the right path and repent of our sins, he accepts us and his joy is all the greater the danger we were in and escaped from. No one has to despair of being lost. “

“Will a woman forget her baby…? (Is 49, 15), God pleases already in the Old Testament. God cannot lie! For example, Saint Paul gives us Abraham, “who patiently waited and achieved the promise “(Hebr 6, 15). He trusted God even in a hopeless situation. Using his example, God wants to more convincingly prove the immutability of his decision” “Hebr 6, 17(. Jesus also asks us for such an attitude of faith. According to St. Paul, only in such faith “will we achieve the offered hope. We have it as a sure and solid anchor soul “(Hebr 6, 19). For can God forget those who “k call him day and night, and will he be oblivious to them? “(Lk 18, 7).

He was indeed a descendant of Dryopithecus and belongs to the evolutionary line of man. He weighed about 50 kilograms. Likewise, he could move equally well on trees and the ground. Furthermore, he ate mainly plant food, and perhaps larvae and eggs of animals or forest honey appeared on the menu.
But even Australopithecus was not destined for human perfection. They deviated from the main evolutionary line sometime at the beginning of the Levant period in the upper Pliocene and formed their blind evolutionary line. God’s sieve about 2.8 million years ago, a genus that walked on. Many signs distinguish Australopithecus from apes, but it is not so essential. However, it is enough for scientific materialism. Why was walking on two goods when it is significantly disadvantageous? Why hunt with the help of a club when agile muscles, strength of limbs, and powerful teeth are better? Can you imagine a bear brandishing a club to get something to eat? What chances would it have of survival? Australopithecus did not survive. Apes did.

I ask why nature, according to Marxists, so perfect and admirable, suddenly does something against itself. It creates an animal that will eventually perish. The second question concerns the mechanism of evolution. Nothing in nature prefers unigenesis – the independent development of a single genus, but polygenesis – several related genera simultaneously. This applies to the entire universe. A star does not arise alone but in a stellar association. If nature did not prefer polygenesis to unigenesis, we would have a sea of ​​​​individuals worldwide—for example, a cat and nothing more. Or a wolf, but its relatives, dogs, jackals, and skunks, would not be. Why did nature suddenly change its mind and support the development of someone who has no equal? Perhaps it occurred to Darwin himself that many other creatures better adapted to survival in nature than the human ancestor had become extinct during the Quaternary period. The machairodus (saber-toothed tiger), with its 50 cm long fangs, did not survive, but a slow creature walking on two legs, brandishing a club, did. It was as if someone was holding a protective hand over it. Yes, that’s true.

The power to breathe life penetrates the separation between what is imperfect and what is perfect. His word has the power to reveal everything that is hidden in our hearts. This can scare if we forget God’s plans. However, he left us his word to purify us so we could accept his life freely. It is God’s intention that we love and trust him so much that we allow him to infuse his divine life into us and remove the paths of sin and darkness from our lives. Today begins the week of prayer for Christian unity. It is a time when we associate with Christians of many denominations in prayers for union in Christ so that the world believes (John 17, 22–23). God wants to purify us as one body, not as individuals. Part of this cleansing is the effort to tear down the walls that divide his people. Suppose we allow Jesus to cleanse our hearts. In that case, we will participate with him in uniting his body.

The writers of the Second Vatican Council in the Decree on Ecumenism urgently asked all believers for this purification to unite the Church:“ Although the Catholic Church received all the truth revealed by God and all the means of grace, after all, its members do not live accordingly with due zeal, so the face of the Church appears less radiant to our separated brothers and to the whole world, and thus the growth of God’s kingdom is hindered. Therefore, all Catholics should strive for Christian perfection, and each of them should try according to their possibilities so that the Church, which endures Christ’s humiliation and dying on its body, day after day she cleansed herself and renewed herself until Christ prepares her famous, without stain and wrinkle.” (Ecumenism decree, art. 4) In prayer, let God’s word purify us by the power of the Holy Spirit.
