          The first premise of this treatise is the reality that the numerous and totality of the 'gods' that men have worshiped from the beginning of time simply do not have any bases in reality with one or possibly two exceptions.  That singular heavenly body that we call the sun has always played an extraordinary role in the genesis of life itself and most assuredly the very existence of mankind at the pinnacle of evolution.  It is obvious that many of our ancient ancestors had rightfully worshiped this incandescent sun and placed it rightly above all other heavenly bodies.  We now know that this amazing heavenly body is indeed that specific source of energy from which all  life was derived.  That other possible exception is naturally the moon.  I can still remember those 'educated' teachers authoritatively explaining that life on land had its genesis in the oceans of the world and that some of its creatures eventually "crawled out of those oceans and onto the land."  As is with so much of man's ever-expanding knowledge, original theories are often redefined with new discoveries.  The moon IS responsible for life having left the oceans in that the moon so dramatically effects the rising and lowering of the tides.  We now understand that life on land was more aptly the direct result of those earliest sea creatures that occupied the shallows being inadvertently stranded by the lowering of the tide, and those stranded individuals had no choice except to 'adapt' to a new environment.  SO, the moon's role in our lives as living beings on land is undeniably the most essential of all natural ingredients absolutely necessary for our very genesis and existence.  The Phoenix that rises from those proverbial ashes of god is nothing more than the totality of those 'realities' that are so self evident that it requires no previous knowledge and certainly none of those endlessly imagined proverbs that seemingly demand a sense of blind faith or unquestionable belief.  To believe in a god or anything that is not real is to become less than nothing.
