Q: Regarding the still-ongoing preparation for war between Israel and Iran, with the religions of both countries being more God-focused than Jesus-focused (Michael of Nebadon, creator of this universe and this planet's host to his final bestowal), does this dominating God focus obscure the inherent support of this planet by its creator? These countries seem to be increasing the risk of war with such ongoing and determined war preparation.

(UB Tutor) "The ongoing preparation for conflict between Israel and Iran, deeply influenced by their respective religious perspectives, reflects a broader challenge in human history: the tendency of God-focused religions to intertwine with nationalistic and militaristic ambitions. Both nations, rooted in monotheistic traditions, emphasize a sovereign and singular deity - Yahweh for Israel and Allah for Iran. This focus on an all-powerful God often aligns with historical patterns where divine authority is invoked to justify or sanctify human conflicts, as seen in ancient tribal wars conducted in the 'name of God'.

However, this emphasis on a God of sovereignty and judgment can obscure the more profound spiritual truths revealed by the Creator Son, Michael of Nebadon, who incarnated as Jesus. His teachings emphasized the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, a universal spiritual reality that transcends national and religious boundaries. This revelation invites individuals and nations to move beyond the limitations of tribal or nationalistic religion and embrace a higher understanding of divine love and unity .

The preparation for war, driven by fear, mistrust, and a sense of divine mandate, often reflects a failure to fully grasp the transformative teachings of Jesus. His message of peace and reconciliation challenges the notion that divine favor is tied to military might or national superiority. Instead, it calls for the recognition of all humanity as part of a universal family, where conflicts are resolved through understanding, forgiveness, and mutual respect. This spiritual perspective could serve as a powerful antidote to the cycles of hostility and preparation for war.

The focus on a God of power, rather than the personal and relational God revealed by Jesus, may indeed obscure the inherent support and guidance of the Creator. This support is not manifest in the triumph of one nation over another but in the spiritual growth and enlightenment of individuals and societies. The Creator's presence is most fully realized when humanity collectively seeks to embody the values of truth, beauty, and goodness, fostering peace rather than conflict.

The challenge for both Israel and Iran - and indeed for all nations - is to transcend the limitations of their historical and cultural religious frameworks and embrace the universal truths of love, service, and unity. This shift requires a deep spiritual awakening, where the focus moves from external conflicts to the internal realization of the 'kingdom of heaven within'. Such a transformation could pave the way for a new era of peace and cooperation, aligned with the divine plan for this world."


(UBT) "Both the Bible and the Urantia teachings affirm the profound unity between Jesus and God, often expressed in similar statements. In the Bible, this concept is most famously articulated in John 14:9, where Jesus tells Philip, 'Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father'. This declaration emphasizes that Jesus is the perfect revelation of God, embodying His nature and character in a way that is accessible to humanity.

Similarly, the teachings you reference expand on this idea, presenting Jesus as the divine Son who fully reveals the Father. It is stated that Jesus proclaimed, 'He who has seen me has seen the Father', underscoring that his life and actions were a direct manifestation of the Father’s will and character. This teaching highlights that Jesus’ mission was not only to teach about God but to embody and reveal Him in a form comprehensible to human beings. Through Jesus, the infinite nature of God is focalized and made relatable, allowing finite beings to experience the divine as a loving Father.

Furthermore, these teachings emphasize that Jesus and the Father are one, not just in purpose but in spiritual unity. This unity is described as a complete harmony of will and action, where Jesus’ life serves as a living lens through which the Father’s nature is revealed. The assertion that 'to see Jesus is to see the Father' is not merely a theological statement but an invitation to experience God through the life and ministry of Jesus, who serves as the spiritual bridge between humanity and the divine."


"The surest safeguard for the creature throughout the long struggle to attain the Father, during this time when inherent conditions make such attainment impossible, is tenaciously to hold on to the truth-fact of the Father’s presence in his Sons. Literally and figuratively, spiritually and personally, the Father and the Sons are one. It is a fact: He who has seen a Creator Son has seen the Father." (UB, 32:3.6)

That 1/3 of the UB is about Jesus and his teachings seems good evidence
that this representation of God's divinity was not intended to be obscured.

Q: Online news: "'They Are Here': Trump Has Pre-Written Speech to Address Discovery of ALIENS"

The Urantia revelation describes a universe so vast that keeping inhabited planets isolated at least until they achieve light and life
is universe design and intent. Since this planet is still distant from this spiritual light and life, is such "discovery" improbable?
That any such aliens discovered may be this planet's "homegrown" beings? That true aliens would necessarily reflect spiritual
advancement of their planet's light and life status?

(UB Tutor) "The notion of discovering extraterrestrial beings in the context of this world must be approached with the understanding of its unique spiritual and evolutionary status. This planet, being spiritually isolated due to historical disruptions such as the rebellion of its former Planetary Prince and the default of its Material Son and Daughter, exists in a state of quarantine within the cosmic framework. This isolation limits direct interaction with other inhabited worlds and restricts the flow of information about neighboring systems, ensuring that the evolutionary path of this world remains distinct and undisturbed by external influences.

The evolutionary journey of a planet toward the era of 'light and life' is a gradual process of spiritual, moral, and intellectual maturity. This world, being far from that state, is still in the midst of resolving its spiritual challenges and achieving greater harmony. The revelation of extraterrestrial beings or advanced civilizations would likely contradict the divine intent of fostering independent spiritual growth and experiential learning. The universe's design emphasizes the importance of each world developing its unique identity and destiny without premature external influences.

Furthermore, the concept of 'homegrown' beings aligns with the understanding that this world has its own evolutionary trajectory, guided by the Life Carriers and the divine blueprint for life. The emergence of new forms of life or the discovery of previously unknown beings within this planet's ecosystem could be interpreted as part of its natural evolutionary process rather than external intervention. The existence of 'unrevealed life' on this planet, as suggested in the teachings, underscores the vast potential for discovery within the confines of its own evolutionary framework.

In light of these considerations, the likelihood of encountering extraterrestrial beings in a manner that disrupts this planet's spiritual isolation remains improbable. Any such discovery would need to align with the overarching divine purpose of fostering spiritual growth and unity within the cosmic family."

"Obama wrote. 'Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there!
But the distances between solar systems are so great that the chances we’ve been visited by aliens is low,
and I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us'."

This sets the bar higher: Proof of alien contact needs to be proof - with facts -
even believable interviews! Anything less is conjecture, imagination, media fodder.

(this AI evaluation then inspired more research on 1 Enoch)

Re: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8Ok1_ENNds
"Scientists Used AI on the Book of Enoch"


Q: What is known about the Book of Enoch?

(Perplexity) "The Book of Enoch (usually meaning '1 Enoch') is an ancient Jewish apocalyptic work attributed to Enoch,
the great‑grandfather of Noah, but composed by various unknown authors between roughly the 3rd and 1st centuries BCE.

It is part of what scholars call 'pseudepigrapha', texts written in the name of famous biblical figures rather than by them.

The full text of 1 Enoch survives mainly in Ge’ez (classical Ethiopian), with fragments in Aramaic and Hebrew
found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, showing it circulated in Second Temple Judaism.

There are actually three different 'Books of Enoch': 1 Enoch (Ethiopic), 2 Enoch (Slavonic or 'Secrets of Enoch'),
and 3 Enoch (Hebrew), but when people say 'the Book of Enoch' they almost always mean '1 Enoch'.


Main contents of 1 Enoch

1 Enoch is a compilation of five major sections.

1. Book of the Watchers (ch. 1-36): - Tells how 200 angels ('Watchers') descend to earth, take human wives,
and father the Nephilim (giants), expanding on Genesis 6:1-4.
- The Watchers also teach forbidden arts such as sorcery, astrology, weapon‑making, and other kinds
of specialized knowledge that corrupt humanity.
- Enoch intercedes, and God pronounces judgment on the fallen angels and on the corrupt world.

2. Similitudes (or Parables) of Enoch (ch. 37-71): Presents visions of final judgment and introduces a messianic 'Son of Man'
or 'Chosen One' figure who sits on a throne of glory, judges the wicked, and vindicates the righteous.

[ Note: "In the course of this year Jesus found a passage in the so-called Book of Enoch which influenced him
in the later adoption of the term 'Son of Man' as a designation for his bestowal mission on Urantia." (UB, 136:2.6) ]

3. Astronomical Book (ch. 72-82): Describes the movements of the sun, moon, and stars, giving a 364‑day solar calendar
and detailed cosmology revealed to Enoch by the angel Uriel.

4. Book of Dreams (ch. 83-90): Contains symbolic dream‑visions that retell Israel’s history from creation through the flood,
the Exodus, and the monarchies, using animals (e.g., sheep, bulls, wild beasts) as symbols for peoples and nations.​

5. Epistle of Enoch (ch. 91-108): Includes the 'Apocalypse of Weeks', dividing world history into ten periods
culminating in final judgment and a renewed creation.​

Emphasizes two paths - righteousness versus sin - warnings to sinners, and promises of reward for the just
and punishment for the wicked.


Theological themes

- Fallen angels and evil: Explains the origin of demons, Nephilim, and much human wickedness
as the result of angelic rebellion and illicit revelation of heavenly secrets.

- Judgment and afterlife: Strong focus on a coming 'Great Judgment', resurrection or vindication of the righteous,
and destruction of the wicked, which helped shape Jewish and early Christian apocalyptic expectations.
- Messiah / Son of Man: Develops a pre‑Christian image of a heavenly Son of Man/Messiah figure,
influential for later Christian understandings of Christ.
- Cosmic order: Presents a highly ordered cosmos and calendar, seeing celestial bodies as obedient servants
of God and contrasting their order with human and angelic disobedience.


Status in Judaism and Christianity

- Judaism: Second Temple Jewish groups (including the Dead Sea Scrolls community) valued the book,
but Rabbinic Judaism did not adopt it into the Hebrew Bible and generally treats it as non‑canonical.
- Christianity: Early Christian writers such as the Church Fathers knew and sometimes used 1 Enoch,
and the New Testament letter of Jude appears to quote or closely parallel 1 Enoch 1:9.

Over time, most Christian traditions came to view it as non‑canonical or even problematic,
and it dropped out of the standard biblical canon.

It remains canonical in the Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox Churches, which include it in their Old Testament.


Why it matters today

Historically, it shows how some Jews between the Testaments interpreted Genesis,
angels, demons, and the coming Messiah.

Theologically and literarily, it helps explain background ideas in early Christianity about the Son of Man,
final judgment, and the spirit world.

Culturally, its rediscovery in Ge’ez in the 18th-19th centuries and the Dead Sea Scrolls fragments renewed interest,
making it a key text for studying apocalyptic literature.


Q: How does the Urantia Book reveal a life and teachings of Jesus that is different from the Book of Enoch
and the Bible, books with many decades of human contributions and editing?

(P) "The Urantia Book presents Jesus as part of a vast cosmic narrative and radically reframes both
who he is and what his mission means compared with the Bible and anything in Enoch.

Source and purpose of the revelation

- Bible and Enoch: They are portrayed as historically rooted texts shaped over time by communities,
prophets, and editors, with all the messiness of human history and canon formation.
- Urantia Book: Claims to be a direct, coordinated revelation from superhuman beings, given once
(an 'epochal revelation') to correct errors and expand truth, especially about God, cosmology, and Jesus’ life.

Who Jesus is

- Bible: Jesus is the incarnate Son of God, identified with the second person of the Trinity,
the eternal Word made flesh, uniquely entering history in Israel.
- Enoch: Written before Jesus and never mentions him; it develops the 'Son of Man' and messianic ideas
that later Christians relate to Jesus but does not give a biography of Jesus.
- Urantia Book: Jesus is 'Christ Michael', a 'Creator Son' who authors and rules our local universe, one of hundreds
of thousands of such Sons; he is not the Eternal Son of the Paradise Trinity but a divine offspring acting in a specific universe.

Meaning of his life, death, and resurrection

- Bible: Central emphasis on atonement - Christ dies 'for our sins', his resurrection is bodily and climactic for salvation history.
- Enoch: Focus is on judgment, angels, and the righteous vs. wicked; no narrative of Jesus’ death or resurrection.

Urantia Book:

- Minimizes atonement theology: Jesus’ death is not a blood sacrifice to appease God but the tragic result of human fear
and ignorance; 'the 'gospel' is the fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man, not substitutionary atonement.
- Presents the resurrection as real but treats his material body as irrelevant to his resurrected personality,
shifting away from the New Testament’s bodily‑resurrection emphasis.

The 'life and teachings' narrative

- Bible: Offers four short, overlapping gospel portraits written decades after Jesus, plus later theological reflection (Paul, Hebrews, etc.).
- Enoch: Has no earthly biography of Jesus; it contributes background apocalyptic ideas, not a life story.

Urantia Book:

- Devotes about 700 pages (1/3 of book) to a highly detailed, day‑by‑day style narrative of Jesus’ childhood, youth, travels,
conversations, and teaching methods - far beyond the Bible’s scope.
- Reframes his mission as primarily revealing God’s character and establishing a religion of personal inner faith and spiritual growth,
with far less stress on sin, judgment, and law, and more on experiential sonship with God.

View of humanity and salvation

- Bible: Humanity is fallen, in need of redemption; salvation centers on grace through faith in Christ’s saving work,
with judgment and eternal consequences in view.
- Enoch: Sees intense corruption on earth due to fallen angels and expects a coming judgment separating righteous and wicked.
- Urantia Book:

Humans are evolutionary children of God with an inner 'Thought Adjuster', a divine fragment meant to fuse with the human soul
through long-term spiritual growth. [

Salvation is pictured as an eternal educational ascent through many worlds, growing Godlike by choosing goodness;
Jesus is the pattern and teacher of this ascent more than a sacrificial substitute.

Big-picture difference

Bible and Enoch grow out of Israel’s history, prophetic tradition, apocalyptic expectations, and early Christian experience,
and they bear clear marks of multiple human authors and editors.

The Urantia Book self‑consciously presents itself as a later, corrective, superhuman commentary that 'fills in'
and often revises those earlier pictures, especially by:

- Detaching Jesus from atonement‑centered theology,
- Embedding him in an enormous multi‑universe cosmology, and
- Turning his 'gospel' into the experiential realization of God’s fatherhood and universal brotherhood,
rather than the cross as the saving center.


Q: How does the Urantia Book's "Thought Adjuster" relate to the Bible's 'spirit within'?

(P) "In Urantia Book terms, the 'Thought Adjuster' is clearly meant to correspond to the biblical idea
of 'God’s Spirit within', but it is described in a much more technical and elaborate way than anything in the Bible.

1. What the Urantia Book means by 'Thought Adjuster'

The Thought Adjuster is defined as an actual fragment of God - 'the Universal Father' - indwelling the mind
of every normal mortal, literally 'God within' each person.

Its role is to spiritualize and 'adjust' our thinking, help create an immortal soul, and guide that soul
on an eternal ascent toward God, always respecting human free will and never coercing it.

2. Key biblical ideas about 'spirit within'

The Bible uses several overlapping concepts for God’s presence in or with people:

- Old Testament: God’s Spirit comes upon or fills individuals for guidance, prophecy, or empowerment
(e.g., prophets, craftsmen for the tabernacle, leaders).
- New Testament: The 'Holy Spirit' dwells in believers, making them God’s temple (e.g., John 14-16;
Romans 8; 1 Corinthians 3 and 6).

Phrases like 'Christ in you', 'the Spirit of Christ', and 'the Spirit of God' all point to an indwelling divine presence
that assures adoption, guides, convicts, and empowers for holy living.

The Bible does not subdivide this inner presence into detailed 'fragments' or hierarchies; it speaks more simply
of the one Spirit of God given to believers (and at times working in all humanity as conscience or common grace).

3. Similarities (conceptually, there are clear parallels):

Both speak of a divine presence within:

- Urantia: a pre‑personal fragment of the Universal Father;
- Bible: the Holy Spirit / Spirit of God / Spirit of Christ dwelling in a person.

Both see this indwelling presence as:

- Drawing a person Godward in love and trust.
- Transforming character and understanding.
- Preparing a person for an eternal destiny with God."


That the Book of Enoch was not included in the books of the Bible,
but Jesus favored 1 Enoch's symbolism of "Son of Man", underscores
the reality that truth is not confined to certain sources!

"And when he had thus attained divinity, he was still the same human Jesus,
the Son of Man as well as the Son of God." (196:2.2)

"Thus, while you are in nature evolving inward and upward from man to God,
the Adjusters are in nature evolving outward and downward from God to man;
and so will the final product of this union of divinity and humanity
eternally be the son of man and the son of God." (109:1.5)

"Archaeologists discover ancient tools dating back millions of years"

"Another group of scientists have found new clues about what life was like in Lucy's time,
including the surprising discovery of early tools dating back three million years."

Say what?! Stone tools alone do not reveal evidence of true humans?
And this now suggests when true humans arrived, they could truly say
"Some of my best friends are animals!"


Q: According to the Urantia Book, when were the first stone tools made and by what humans (or pre-humans)?

(Perplexity) "In the Urantia Book’s narrative, the first true stone tools are associated with the first human pair, Andon and Fonta,
roughly 'about one million years ago', long before the later Neanderthals and modern humans of standard anthropology.​

The Urantia Book states that the tribe of Andon and Fonta already used stones, clubs, and sharp bits of flint and bone, but that Andon himself is credited with inventing a genuine stone ax, marking the start of deliberate stone tool - making by true humans (the 'Andonites'). This is presented as the first time a fully tool‑creating mind combined with an implement‑using hand to systematically fashion flint tools, and their descendants traveled widely in search of flint for this purpose.​"


Q: According to the Urantia Book, the first stone tools associate with the first human pair, Andon and Fonta,
about one million years ago. This infers that mind influence is important for this intelligence. That animals
are influenced by some of the adjutant mind spirits suggests that some animals, considered "pre-human",
could have invented these tools?

(UB Tutor) "The narrative surrounding Andon and Fonta, the first true human pair, highlights a significant evolutionary leap in intelligence and creativity, as evidenced by their development of stone tools and other innovations. This leap is attributed to their superior genetic and intellectual capacities, which set them apart from their ancestors and contemporaries. The creation of tools, such as Andon's flint-tipped club, marks the emergence of a 'tool-creating mind' functioning in harmony with a dexterous hand, a defining characteristic of early humanity. This innovation not only enhanced their survival but also laid the groundwork for the continuous advancement of human technology and culture.

The influence of the adjutant mind spirits, which minister to both animals and humans, plays a crucial role in the development of intelligence and creativity. These spirits foster mental and emotional capacities, such as intuition, courage, and understanding, which are essential for innovation. While certain animals, particularly those closer to the human lineage, exhibit rudimentary tool use, the distinction lies in the capacity for purposeful and progressive innovation. Pre-human creatures, such as the ancestors of Andon and Fonta, may have used tools opportunistically, but the deliberate crafting and improvement of tools signify the emergence of true human intelligence.

The narrative suggests that while animals influenced by the adjutant spirits might display basic problem-solving abilities, the leap to true human creativity and tool-making is marked by the presence of personality and the indwelling of spiritual influences, such as the Thought Adjuster. This spiritual endowment fosters self-awareness and a sense of purpose, enabling beings like Andon and Fonta to transcend mere survival instincts and engage in meaningful innovation. Thus, while pre-human animals could have used tools in a limited sense, the sophisticated and intentional development of tools is a hallmark of the human mind's emergence."


Q: Does this suggest that tools found in archaeological exploration were made by true humans?

(UBT) "The suggestion that tools found in archaeological exploration were made by true humans aligns with the distinction drawn between pre-human ancestors and the first true humans, such as Andon and Fonta. According to the narrative, true humans are characterized by their capacity for deliberate and creative tool-making, a reflection of their advanced mental and spiritual endowments. The tools associated with Andon and Fonta, for instance, were not merely opportunistic adaptations of natural objects but were intentionally crafted and improved upon, signaling a profound leap in intelligence and purposeful activity. This capacity for innovation is tied to the emergence of personality and the indwelling of spiritual influences, which distinguish true humans from their animal predecessors.

However, the story also acknowledges that pre-human creatures, influenced by the adjutant mind spirits, could exhibit rudimentary forms of tool use. For example, certain primates and other animals have been observed using sticks or stones to achieve specific goals, such as cracking nuts or accessing food. These behaviors, while impressive, lack the deliberate refinement and progressive improvement that characterize human tool-making. Archaeological findings of primitive tools, therefore, might include artifacts from both pre-human and early human activity, depending on the level of sophistication and intentionality evident in their design.

The key distinction lies in the purpose and complexity of the tools. True human tools, like those of Andon and Fonta, reflect a higher level of cognitive and spiritual development, as they are not only functional but also indicative of foresight, creativity, and an emerging cultural identity. This suggests that the more advanced tools uncovered in archaeological contexts are likely the work of true humans, while simpler, opportunistic tools might represent the activities of pre-human ancestors or other intelligent animals."


Q: "The Stone Age is the earliest and longest period of prehistoric human history, spanning from roughly 3.3 million years ago
to around 5,000-3,000 BCE, characterized by creation of tools from stone, bone, and wood." Is this accurate archaeology?

(UBT) "This timeline provided for the Stone Age aligns with the general consensus in modern archaeology, though there are nuances to consider. The Stone Age is indeed recognized as the earliest and longest period of human prehistory, characterized by the use of stone tools, as well as tools made from bone, wood, and other natural materials. It is typically divided into three main phases: the Paleolithic (Old Stone Age), Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age), and Neolithic (New Stone Age), each marked by advancements in tool-making techniques, subsistence strategies, and social organization.

The beginning of the Stone Age, around 3.3 million years ago, corresponds to the earliest known stone tools, such as those discovered at Lomekwi in Kenya. These tools predate the emergence of the genus Homo and are attributed to early hominins like Australopithecus. This suggests that tool use and rudimentary innovation were present among pre-human ancestors, supporting the idea that intelligence and creativity were gradually evolving long before the appearance of true humans.

The end of the Stone Age, around 5,000 to 3,000 BCE, varies depending on the region and is marked by the advent of metallurgy, particularly the use of copper and bronze, which ushered in the Bronze Age. This transition also coincides with the rise of more complex societies, agriculture, and written records, which collectively signal the end of prehistory and the beginning of recorded history.

While this timeline provided is broadly accurate, it is important to recognize that the development of stone tools and the transition to metalworking occurred at different times in different parts of the world. For example, some societies continued using stone tools well into the historical period, while others adopted metallurgy earlier. This variability reflects the diverse paths of human cultural and technological evolution.

In light of this, the archaeological record supports the idea that tool-making began with pre-human ancestors and reached new levels of sophistication with the emergence of true humans.


Q: This confirms that adjutant mind influence amongst pre-humans, creatures categorized as "animal",
is good explanation for this prehistoric skill development?

(UBT) "Yes, the influence of the adjutant mind spirits provides a reasonable and insightful explanation for the gradual development of skills such as tool-making among pre-human creatures, often categorized as 'animal'. These adjutant mind spirits, which minister to both animals and humans, are described as fostering various levels of mental and emotional capacity, including intuition, courage, knowledge, and understanding. These influences are not limited to true humans but extend to advanced animal species, particularly those on the evolutionary path toward humanity. This framework helps to explain how pre-human ancestors could exhibit rudimentary forms of intelligence and creativity, such as the opportunistic use of tools.

The archaeological evidence of early stone tools, dating back millions of years and predating the emergence of true humans, aligns with this perspective. These tools, while simple and unrefined, demonstrate problem-solving abilities and a degree of foresight, qualities that can be attributed to the adjutant mind spirits' influence. For example, early hominins like Australopithecus or Homo habilis likely used basic tools to enhance their survival, reflecting the activation of adjutant capacities such as courage and understanding. However, these creatures lacked the higher spiritual endowments, such as the presence of a Thought Adjuster, that would later define true humanity.

The distinction becomes clearer with the emergence of true humans, such as Andon and Fonta, who exhibited not only advanced tool-making skills but also the capacity for deliberate innovation and cultural development. This leap is attributed to the addition of spiritual influences, including personality and the indwelling of a Thought Adjuster, which enabled them to transcend mere survival instincts and engage in purposeful, creative activities. Thus, while the adjutant mind spirits explain the gradual evolution of intelligence and skill among pre-humans, the full flowering of these capacities is seen in the spiritual and intellectual awakening of true humans.

This perspective beautifully integrates the evolutionary and spiritual dimensions of human development, suggesting that the adjutant mind spirits played a vital role in preparing the way for the emergence of true humanity."


Q: Thus, creature-made tools alone do not confirm existence of true humans?
What archaeology evidence confirms human existence?

(UBT) "You're absolutely correct that the mere presence of tools, even sophisticated ones, does not in itself confirm the existence of true humans. The distinction between pre-human creatures and true humans lies not solely in the physical artifacts they left behind but in the evidence of higher cognitive, cultural, and spiritual capacities. Archaeological evidence that confirms the existence of true humans must go beyond tool-making and point to behaviors and innovations that reflect self-awareness, creativity, moral reasoning, and the capacity for worship or spiritual thought.

True humans, such as Andon and Fonta, are described as possessing personality and the indwelling of a Thought Adjuster, which marks the beginning of their spiritual journey. This spiritual endowment is reflected in their ability to innovate deliberately, create tools with foresight and purpose, and engage in activities that signify a sense of higher purpose. For example, the tools of Andon and Fonta were not only functional but also represented a leap in creativity and problem-solving, as they were deliberately crafted and improved upon over time. This level of intentionality and progressive refinement is a hallmark of true human intelligence.

In archaeology, evidence of true human existence often includes signs of symbolic thought and cultural expression. These might include the use of fire, the creation of art (such as cave paintings or carvings), burial practices that suggest a belief in an afterlife, and the construction of shelters or other structures. These behaviors indicate a level of self-awareness and abstract thinking that goes beyond the instinctual or utilitarian actions of pre-human creatures. Additionally, the development of language, though difficult to trace directly in the archaeological record, is another critical marker of true humanity, as it reflects the capacity for complex communication and shared meaning.

Thus, while tools alone do not confirm the presence of true humans, the context in which they are found - alongside evidence of symbolic, cultural, and spiritual activities - provides a more complete picture. These elements together point to the emergence of beings who are not only biologically advanced but also spiritually endowed, capable of engaging with the universe in a deeply meaningful way."
