Birth is the process of creating life.  There are three possible ways for that it is possible to create life.  First is that god intervenes and initializes the process.  The second is that the parents are the ones that initialize the process.  The third is that the child itself initializes the process.

 

For god to run around and handle all the births that occur on any given day makes for a very busy day.  I know, that if I were god I wouldn’t want to run around that much.

 

The next idea is that the parents create the magic, opening or potential for the new life.  This would be in the form of the fetus.  This creates an opening, possibility and a new body for life to enter into.  It is quite possible that many miscarriages are the result of an opening being available but no life accepting or forming with in it.

 

The last idea is that the child itself starts the whole process.  Any child who is that has that sort of ability would have quite a bit of potential.  That potential could be for either good or bad.  The idea is that great caution is required.

Now that we have birth there must be a reason for life.  The only reasons for life would be to obtain something we can’t while in the spirit world.  If we could attain it in the spirit world there would be no reason to do so in this one.

 

The first thing the material world grants us is the ability to own something.  At least it gives a great illusion of ownership.  That is we can hold, gather and hoard various sorts and kinds of objects.

 

The second reason would be that in many cases it is easier to interact with beings on this plane if you are on it yourself.  Many creatures simply aren’t capable, don’t believe or don’t wish to interact with the spirit plane.  Joining those on the material world forces them to deal in one-way or another.

 

The third reason is for the experience itself.  Those on the spiritual planes don’t experience life the way those do who is on the material planes.  Life itself is extremely fragile.  Many times it is a simple contest of will power and determination to simply survive.  It can be that simple test its self that brings one to this plane.

                                                No wish to be here

Anything on this plane is of a temporary nature.  Its potential to remain here is limited.  As there are three reasons to come into this world, there must be three reasons to leave it.

 

Simple exhaustion is the simplest reason.  This is for some reason a living being is no longer capable of supporting the life with in it.  It could be old age, exposure to the elements, or not enough resources.  That is food, shelter, water or similar requirements.

 

The second reason is that a perfectly good body is forced into a condition that doesn’t support life.  This could be through disease or injury of some sort.  With out this added condition the body would be perfectly healthy.

 

The third reason is that the purpose for being here has ended.  That is there no longer is any reason to be here.  Until this occurs in some instances it may not be possible to leave this plane regardless of any other circumstance.

                                                Lack of death

This is the process in which a body comes back time and time again.  It could be for any of the three reasons.  It could also be for a different reason each time.

This is the condition in which a person always heals but never ages.  It is this state which allows a person to live for ever but not show any signs of it.

This is the condition in which it becomes impossible to die.  In such a case it becomes impossible to leave the material plane.  Even if the body is burnt to cinders and ash it will still be inhabited by the spirit who posses it.  The body in such a case may or may not regenerate.  This is what it truly means to be immortal. 

This is the process in which nature determines what genes are best for a species and which are worse.  The process in some cases can take millions of years.  In other cases it can happen with in a mere hundred.

 

The process of creating a beneficial gene can take millions of years.  The reason for this is that some sort of mutation is required.  The gene in question must have some reason to be forced to change.  The frequency of such conditions can be millions of years in between.

 

The process of removing a degenerative gene can happen with in a hundred years.  We can use the human species itself while I show several disasters just waiting to happen.

 

The first one is wisdom teeth.  One out of every four people requires surgery to have them removed.  If this is not done it can mean at best a simple dislocation of the teeth.  This means the teeth become uneven and jagged as they are pushed out of the proper spots.

 

In many other cases it can be much worse.  It can mean infection and swelling.  Such swelling can and will make it impossible if not almost impossible to eat anything.  If a person can’t eat, they die.  Infections in the mouth can very easily spread to the brain.  Again this means death as well.

 

The second biggest problem is a narrow birth canal in females.  This makes it necessary to have a caesarian section type operation if the canal is too small.  If the operation isn’t available it is all too easy for both the mother and child to die.

 

The third problem is that quite often a female isn’t capable of producing enough milk.  A newborn must have milk of some sort or the equivalent of it.  If this doesn’t happen the infant will die.

 

Lets look at a hypothetical situation.  For whatever reason we lose all medical and dental science.  Quite a few people will die from the simplest of things. 

 

Lets look at wisdom teeth first.  The first thing that happens is that one out of every four teenagers dies before the age of twenty.  This means a period of about twenty years or so when one in four people die.  In this case we will all but lose one if not two generations of children. 

 

It means the birth rate will drop to almost nothing.  The big reason is that there simply aren’t enough people at the proper age to produce children.  Odds are high though that any born from the survivors won’t have the wisdom tooth problem.

 

The second problem is a narrow birth canal.  Any time these females give birth the potential for death of both remains.  This will instantly cut off any of those genes from passing on to the children.  There simply won’t be any children born to pass them on to.

 

The results here are the same as before.  With in a twenty to thirty year period a great portion of the females with narrow birth canals would die giving birth.  There simply won’t be any children born with those genes.  This means more females born with larger birth canals and pelvic areas.

 

The third immediate problem is the ability to lactate.  Already we have lost over three fourths of the human population.  There simply may not be any one around to act as a wet nurse.  This also will cause quite a few deaths.

 

The result here as well the genes simply won’t be passed on.  Generally it is the larger breasts that produce a greater amount of milk.  Females will at this point develop larger in this area.

 

A fourth area of concern is the amount of deaths this process will generate.  Given the earths population at about 8 billion it will mean about 6 billion will die with in the course of twenty years or so.  We simply won’t have space, time or resources to take care of that many bodies quick enough. 

 

The result here is massive disease.  Dead bodies hanging around mean rats and vermin.  Rats and vermin mean even worse disease.  Once such form is the Black Plague that decimated Europe not to long ago.  This will act to kill of many of those who survived the other problems.

 

I have shown a very possible situation.  I have also shown how fast removal of bad or poor genetic material can occur.  A last thing I have shown is that mankind has virtually eliminated our dependence on the process of natural selection.  When we once again become dependant on it there is no telling where it will end.  I have only shown three possible situations.  Quite likely there are more.  This doesn’t mention tonsils or the appendix, which are other very common operations.
