Default I finally get it: If GW is not man-made, then God is punishing uswith it

The Christians may deny GW, but they can't deny the overcrowding of
the heavens. You know, I find the Mongol gods particularly colorful...

(This inspired Genghis Khan the way Jesus inspires the Christians to
conquer the world)

Turkic

Shaman drum showing the world treeThe Wolf symbolizes honour and is
also considered the father of most Turkic peoples. Asena (Ashina Tuwu)
is the wolf mother of Bumen, the first Khan of the Göktürks.

The Horse is also one of the main figures of Turkic mythology; Turks
considered the horse an extension of the individual -though generally
dedicated to the male- and see that one is complete with it. This
might have led to or sourced from the term "At-Beyi" (Horse-Lord).

The Dragon, also expressed as a Snake or Lizard, is the symbol of
might and power. It is believed, especially in mountainous Central
Asia, that dragons still live in the mountains of Tian Shan/Tengri
Tagh and Altay. Dragons also symbolize the god Tengri (Tanrı) in
ancient Turkic tradition, although dragons themselves are not
worshipped as gods.

The legend of Timur (Temir) is the most ancient and well-known. Timur
found a strange stone that fell from the sky (an iron ore meteorite),
making the first iron sword from it. Today, the word "temir" or
"timur" means "iron".

Turkic mythology was influenced by other local mythologies. For
example, in Tatar mythology elements of Finnic and Indo-European myth
co-exist. Subjects from Tatar mythology include Äbädä, Şüräle, Şekä,
Pitsen, Tulpar, and Zilant.

certainly answers some questions in my mind ;^-}


Mundane things are not important to the Christians who think of the
heavens, but it's important to the monkey who lives in reality. It's
just like "peanuts," which means "nothing" to the believers, but means
everything to the monkey. Another example is the bicycle, which is so
important to the monkey.

By the way, "mundane" also means:
•belonging to this earth or world; not ideal or heavenly; "not a fairy
palace; yet a mundane wonder of unimagined kind"; "so terrene a being
as himself"
