Once Upon A Time and Modern Christianity

Once Upon A Time is a tv show on ABC in which all the story book characters of our favorite fables and fairy tales are gathered together in one place, Storybrooke. The premise is that the evil Queen cast a mighty evil curse that ruined all the happy endings. All the characters of all the ancient bedtime stories were cursed and sent to a place where they don’t know who they are or remember their past lives. In Storybrooke they live out boring lives reliving each day in purgatory thus granting the evil Queen her happy ending.
I see a moral to the story the writers may have not intended. To me, the story is analogous to the plight of modern Christianity. In Once Upon A Time, the fairy tales and fables are the reality and the modern world we live in is the false reality. The characters are stuck in our modern world not knowing that they are living a curse. They live their lives unaware that their happiness and destiny is what they believe to be fairy tales. As modern day Christians we suffer the same fate. The “enlightened” world view tells us that the Bible is a compilation of stories and fables and “truth” is what science has given us.
Science spins a tale that out of nothing the Big Bang created the universes we live in. Simple life forms crawled out of the oceans to evolve into modern creatures and eventually human beings. As humans we started out ignorant and through a scientific process we gained knowledge so we could become what we are today. The Bible says man was once greater than he is now and suffered a great fall, several actually. The Bible is a record of man’s struggle to regain what we lost.
When the ancient Greeks were searching for enlightenment they traveled to Egypt, the home of the oldest library in the world. At that time they were still aware that ancient cultures had greater wisdom and that knowledge was hidden in the scrolls at Alexandria. The Egyptian priests didn’t have the knowledge; they were just the keepers of the library.
The Bible says Enoch, knowing of the coming Great Flood, traveled far away to build a monument of stone to safeguard the wisdom of the past. The monument was in the middle and at the borders of Egypt. The Great Pyramid is in the middle of Egypt but also divides upper and lower Egypt in times of dual kingdoms. The dimensions of the Great Pyramid incorporate knowledge of Pi which wasn’t supposed to be discovered till Pythagoras. Ancient legends tell of Venus as a two horned comet streaking across the heavens. The oldest star charts are missing Venus, one of the easiest planets or stars to locate in the sky. Science tells us the universe for the most part has always been the same, expanding since the Big Bang. Science arrives at the dates of history based upon the theory that things remain basically the same. Therefore you can take present day calculations and working backwards estimate the dates. The Bible tells of several great cataclysms that changed the face of the Earth dramatically. In Siberia there are frozen remains of animals and 300 foot trees entangled and frozen for thousands of years. Explorers found mammoths with summer vegetation still in their stomachs fast frozen in place. The animals froze so fast that their meat was still good enough to feed the sled dogs. The Nazca lines and the Great Pyramid are proof that great knowledge was on Earth long before modern day society re-learned the lessons.
I could go on giving evidence but that’s not my point today. If you look hard enough, you will find much of what is held as truth is actually fairy tales and much of what we are told is fiction is in fact truth.
