Q&@

HE ASKED FOR THE HELP OF THE WILD BULL,
AND THE BULL DEMANDED SOMETHING OF THE HUNTER.
WHEN AN ANCIENT FARMER WANTED HIS COWS TO PRODUCE LOTS OF MILK,
HE ASKED SOME GREAT HEAVENLY "G D" FOR HELP, AND THE 'GOD' stipulated his conditions?!
When the white-coated staff in Nestlé's Research & Development department want to increase dairy
production, théy study genetics - and the genes don't ask for anything in return!? But jùst as the hunters
and farmers had their myths, so do the people in the R&D department. Their most famous myth shamelessly
plagiarizes the legend of the Tree of Knowledge and the Garden of Eden, but transports the action to the garden
at Woolsthorpe Manor in Lincolshire. According to this myth, Isaac Newton was sitting there under an apple tree
when a ripe Apple dropped on Hìs Head? Newton began wondering why the apple fell straight downwords, rather
then sideways or upwards. His enquiry led him to discover gravity & the laws of Newtonian mechanics! Newton's
story turns the Tree of Knowledge myth on its head?! In the Garden of Eden the 'serpent' initiates the drama, temp-
ting humans to sin, thereby bringing the wrath of God down upon them!? Adam & Eve are a plaything for serpent &
God alike?! In contrast, in the Garden of Woolsthorpe man is the sole agent. Though Newton himself was a deeply
religious Christian who devoted far more time to studying the Bible than the laws of physics, the Scientific Revolution
that he helped launch pushed God to the sidelines. When Newton's successors came to write their Genesis myth,
they had no use for either God or serpent. The Garden of Woolsthorpe is run by blind laws of nature, and
the initiative to de-cipher these laws is strictly human. The story may begin with an apple falling on
Newton's head, but the apple did not do in on purpose. Mòr Asih Chai's 'fate hit Hìs Head'
on Wednesdayafternoon, December 13th '44: by coincidence it continued thus al-
ready unto A'foort, U'trecht, 's-Gravenhage & A'dam till Athens,
Korinth, Istanbul, Ruchama, Har'el, Shamir, Givat Oz &
all over India & through Nippon to Birobeidjan,
Moscow & Odessa? So what else
there is to do than follow
this path until 'the
end'... And
beyond.
