Genesis 3:22 reads:
Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—”
As a young 19 year old man, I was in San Francisco for the first time filling in for my older brother at his job while he took an advanced computer course in Chicago.
The point is that my brother was and still is a homosexual, a proud and honorable ex-service man of the USAF. The year I’m speaking of was 1979. I had been on the job for about a week, when one evening I was contemplating how sad it must be for my brother to be a homosexual, not knowing the beauty and grace of love between a man and woman as I did, how without it we could not propagate ourselves into the future as God intended, and indeed commanded we should. So why had He created homosexuals like my brother to live in sin and misery? Despite his homosexuality, I still loved and respected my brother, a very brilliant clean cut man who had served his country with honor and distinction in the USAF in the thick of the Vietnam era.
It was while pondering these thorny and complex thoughts about how right and necessary love between a man and woman was, and how wrong carnal love between men was, that something tugged at the back of my mind. Something in the old testament bible in Genesis about the tree of life. So pulling out my trusty King James bible from my suitcase, I turned to Genesis 3:22 and read the verse quoted above. I then asked myself what constituted the fruits of the tree of life? It’s important to remember I was pondering this from a young, naive and pragmatic point of view. I pictured in my mind a woman bleeding blood each month, and a man bleeding sperm. Then I asked myself whether these God given substances might constitute the fruits of the tree of life? Naw I said to myself, that’s crazy, it could not possibly be that simple.
But the thought stuck with me in the back of my mind and I could not shake it, even after I returned back home to San Diego, it persisted in my mind to the point that I decided that it would be easy enough to do a little fact checking in a medical library.
However my med research at UC Irvine Medical Library made the matter even worse. It turned out that sperm dimensions corellated exactly to red blood cell dimensions at 7.5 microns each. That both sperm and semenal fluid were sterile(clean) and had the same PH as blood. So it seemed that sperm was ideally suited to be injected intravenously with little risk of blockage or poisoning yourself from an autologous(self donor) perspective.
But menstrual blood from a woman was a different matter. It was not sterile, contained large sections of shedded endometrium, various hormones like progesterone, and of course blood cells in varying states of atrophy. Now if strained through a 10-15 micron filter it might not kill you if mixed with sperm and intravenously injected, but it would be extremely dangerous, kind of a kill you or cure you proposition at best.
Further study of menstrual blood showed that it also just happened to contain all the requisite ingredients to capacitate sperm cells, without which neither babies, or crazy scripture based brain regenerative theories, could ever happen.
Yes, it’s true, in the late 50’s the process by which sperm capacitation is achieved was discovered by a Japanese scientist who proved that unless sperm is bathed in blood albumins and the hormone progesterone.
It was with great relief that I learned that reproductive IVF clinics have sperm capacitation mediums in a sterile form that can be incubated with sperm successfully to achieve full and viable capacitated sperm capable of creating new life.
So after much research and thought I decided to take my crazy theory to an expert blood doctor at UCLA, indeed the head of hematology there, the PhD professor himself. Now I fully expected this professor to laugh at both me and my harebrained theory and show me the door. So imagine my surprise when he looked over my compiled evidence supporting my theory, and asked me to let him check a few things about my theory out, and get back to me in a week or so!
I didn’t know whether to be happy or sad that my strange theory arrived at that strange night in San Francisco just wouldn’t die as it should have? Two weeks later the professor offered to write a laboratory proof of concept protocol, and test it using rats, at a private lab, for 15K dollars!
Now the theory is that the fruits of the biblical tree of life are sperm and menstrual blood. That God has subtly hidden them from us by means of flaming sword and cherubim, in other words hidden these things in forbidden sexual matters to confound us for a few millenia. That we all die due to our brains slowly starving to death from lack of the heavenly manna they need to regenerate themselves with and live on achieving their true potential. And that further this is true for the entire mammallian animal kingdom, lions, lambs, etc.
I cannot stress strongly enough that my project is only theoretical in nature and not meant for anything other than discussion and reasoned logical debate concerning its potential ability to reconcile our Christian God with our tangible world of modern science.
If any tangible benefits arise from my project whatsoever, it is important to remember that all glory goes to God alone and no-one else. I am probably a huge fool very akin to Ben Franklin flying his kite in a thunder storm waiting for lightning to strike him dead. Dead or not lightning is of God’s making and His alone.
