One important thing to remember is that mankind as a whole is Incredibly egocentric. For thousands of years humans presumed the Earth was at the center of the universe and was flat because that suited human sensibilities. The Earth and mankind were the most important, and thus at the center. The Earth had to be flat because it looked flat, and a round earth simply didn't make sense.
Naturally we discovered that this was not so. However, that Egocentrism lives on anyhow. When we think of a god we think of him as possessing a human form. When we consider aliens we think of a very human like figure with perhaps a modified forehead.
Even if said aliens have nothing biologically or chemically similar to humanity, we still stubbornly envision them as humanoid. We consider ourselves the most intelligent life form in existence and that because aliens haven't come to us, there must be none out there at all.
Why must we assume that god has a human form? Because it is written in the bible? The bible was not written by god. It was written by men. Translated through several different languages over a period of thousands of years. The bible today is not the same as it was 1500 years ago.
As for theistic evolutionists, I'm fairly certain their standing is that god is the "Guiding Force" behind evolution and that the story of Genesis is allegorical, which makes sense, since I find it highly doubtful that anyone from 2,000 years ago could count or conceive of a billion years, let alone fifteen billion. We cant either for that matter. It's a gulf of time so immense that no living being on earth could properly comprehend it.
In any case, I think we should end the discussion of God, Evolution and so forth there as the topic is sensitive, off topic, and has explosive potential.
Back to the topic at hand...
I'm fairly certain the earth formed naturally in the Beast Wars Universe and that the Raw Energon present was seeded there by the Vok.
The faction symbols could be interepreted as the "Mark of the Beast" from revelations:
He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
– Rev. 13:16-17
This is what I am currently discussing about in my Second Transtech fanFic,which deals with the narcissism of Human life,being the eliminators of religion and creators of technology.
I am very aware that the writers were going for a 'Religion vs.Science' thing in Beast Wars.The Vok representing a Divine force to shape Earth(But they did not create it,remember that)with evolution,as we clearly see the pre-Humans.
I do not see Dinobot as a Jesus like figure.I wanted to see why He died instead of living for a longer time to teach the people,or,in fact,try to eliminate the Roman Empire in a peaceful manner.He died so the Humans can be redeemed by God,ehich makes me think that something was going to happen in the Divine Realm at this time,as He constantly speaks about the coming of the Kingdom,and,that He lived at THIS time instead of the past or the present.
I never think of God as a physical entity,but I think of that scene from Futurama where Bender saw God as a light,as many people explain that God is a light force,or fiery spirit,or even something like the Bhrama(An unexplained force that is being Human interpretation)
There is a lot of religious topics in Transformers,starting from G1 and Beast Machines used it as their main theme,and,I believe it as a gutsy move for them,and an advancement....too ba for the character inconsistency though.
The Beast in the Revelations,for a while I thought about Beast Wars when reading the tale.
I understand about Razor One not wanting to talk about this more,but I adore talking about religion,no matter the 'explosive' results.So I will not talk to Warrior~San about God's image which I was going to ask her a question:
'What about the non-human animals?'
Razor-one is watching....I don't want to go there.
