Just some thoughts I had after a hike upstate reflecting on Egyptian mythology and the geological history of Earth

>Books lie, he said. God dont lie. No, said the judge. He does not. And these are his words. He held up a chunk of rock. He speaks in stones and trees, the bones of things.
- The Judge, Blood Meridian

Ptah is a lame god in that he is bounded in mummy form, a strange feature for a craftsman and architect to posses. But we must take into account Ptah “crafted the world in His heart”, the entire world, and the subsequent cycles and evolutions it would go through were already pre-determined as a watchmaker designs a watch that runs on it’s own, and all He had to do to bring them about was “think.” The movements of continents, glaciers, erosion, and other such factors are all environmental factors that were created and “wound up” by Ptah, or any other name the Creator goes by, and that can chiefly be seen in environments such as the winter mountains, the spring valley, or the summer shores. I used to be "anti-science" like it seems many people here have turned because of the COVID psyop and it's blatant neglection of facts such as the differences between races and genders and other ways it has been hjijacked to legitimize the system, but there is honestly nothing incompatible about esotericism and science. I used to believe space was fake (I still don’t believe in moon landing or aliens) and the Earth was probably younger, but than I read a Wikipedia article on the geological history of Earth and was simply in awe, the same awe I had looking at the timeline at the museum many years ago as a child. The fact that the world has existed for billions and not thousands of years and space is almost infinite is much more divine to me than a flat 6,000 year old Earth.
