The Archean Eon |
Saturday – August 22, 2026

Beginning with what profane science (geology specifically) describes as the Archean Eon, I have decided to attempt to outline the many theories surrounding the early Earth. Why is it, for instance, that we have oxygen on the planet today? Or why did life appear on Earth in the first place? Well, to answer that first question, I suppose the scientific consensus is that at some point a bacteria known as Cyanobacteria appeared in the late Archean Eon, and this bacteria, not an Archaea, was capable, and indeed is still capable, of producing oxygen, through a mechanism called photosynthesis, read "Mechanism", and this mechanism is also something that is still ongoing. Now, none of this appears to be in dispute, although there are some people who we may call "crackpots" who claim differently. Of course, I the Archean Eon lasted for about 1.5 billion years, which is an enormous amount of time, but then again, we must remember that time is something that we may depend on or be independent of, and in the case of the present day humanity, it is clear that most humans are dependent on time, read "The End of History", which is why 1.5 billion years matter a lot. Of course, a humanity independent of time would simply not care about the dark and distant recesses of Earth's geology, as this would be labeled "deep history" or "deep time". NOw, this is indeed profane science, but as I wrote in my post "Naturalism and Its Confused Opponents", there is no need to deny the findings of profane science as they are upheld by objective scrutiny and really observations alone.

    That stated, I believe that the Archean Eon in particular should tell us something about the world, our world, and whether or not we acknowledge this explanation or not has nothing to do with the facts; the facts are the facts and they do not care what we think of them, read "My Views on Fundamentalism". I suppose too that this Archean World revolved quite a lot around waters, and in fact many geologists refer to Archean Earth as a "vast water world", which actually aligns with many creation stories, most of them also revolving around water, the primeval waters, read "Genesis, Chapter 1". Water has enabled life, this appears to not be disputed much. I suppose then that we may move on from this point, but not quite yet I should say. Why has water brought life to the planet, according to profane science? Well, here again we must consider the first life on the planet, the so-called LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor): the theory is that this common and universal ancestor is linked to all life on Earth, from humans, dogs, and gorillas, to snakes, archaea, and the paramecium. Of course, this theory would to a substantial extent support a kind of monism, but of course most profane scientists may then point out that we are not here dealing with a kind of "big bang" of life, but rather evolution again and again. See, the theory posits that there must have been multiple primordial life forms that lived alongside and parallel to LUCA, but that LUCA was the only one of this myriad of organisms to survive, and further, most profane scientists would also argue that LUCA likely shared genetics with these organisms. So what we are dealing with here is essentially a theory of a kind of primordial soup in the archean ocean/s. Now, this could imply all sorts of things that we simply are not aware of, and things that are well outside the scope of this post, but I should add that there, again, is not need to despair in the face of these theories and in the face of the talk of life without God, but this is a point that I should return to later.

    Of course, in the "Tree of Life" one human life seems rather tiny, but this point is not new and certainly bear being repeated: after all, have we not understood that one human life is quite insignificant, and while this used to be understood by most men in the past, the runaway individualism of our times have surely blinded most men to this reality, and so this profane science should perhaps serve to do some good after all. If not good, I suppose that profane science, at least in this form, can help calm the mood and the revolutionary spirit innate in so many modern people; they are revolutionary because they do not know of what it would mean to live in stability, and the many theories and postulations of profane science would support this "chaotic ideation". Now, something similar might be said about language, read "Notes on Reading", and the theories of people such as professor Noam Chomsky, that languages all share enough in common, that it would be quite right to assert that most languages are the same or likely originated from the same common and universal desire to establish "contact", and perhaps individualism would be impossible without language? I suppose that we are attempting to cross certain barriers here, and to call the "Archean Eon" a barrier is surely not an understatement, read "The Problem of Borders".

    From another perspective, one could perhaps think of the Archean Eon as a kind of childhood, a planetary childhood, and I would not refuse to acknowledge this. What then, if any, is the catch? Well, the catch is that the solution, the resolution really, to all of these theories cannot lie in digging deeper, which is quite literally what is taking place as I am writing this. The solution must be to reach for higher knowledge, suprahuman knowledge, for the at the present moment, I believe that it would be quite accurate that profane science has entered a crisis, for it has been established that profane science is about to reach the bottom, the bottom of the abyss, where nothing more can be discovered, a point when everything on the planet will be shrouded in darkness and mystery. I suppose as well, that it would not be entirely inaccurate to label the Archean Eon a kind of great potential, but only in on a material level, and it would be true to think of this point in the development of the planet this way, but I do still disagree with the idea that this planet held no space for the present condition, for what has changed across the eons is not the planet and the matter but rather the condition of life. This is the hard reality of the Archean Eon: that we may not know, because we cannot know, and so we are left to postulate and to fall victims to the optimism of conjecture, manipulation, and deceit in the face of the facts.
