II. Alternative anthropological theory.

    The concept of religion, coming from the verb "religare" in Latin, that means to bind or to unite, can interpret like a set of knowledge or beliefs that unify a community. As well as to unite or to relate all existing by means of a simbology, determining the behavior that must follow each member of the community that practices this religion.

The philosopher and English mathematician of principles of century XX, Bertrand Russell, observed that the religions always have been between the first causes of the wars. This historical experience has been used to argue that it is better not to have religion, but this is impossible starting of its literal meaning, of rebind or relating the whole in a single vision or understanding, reason why doctrines like the marxism, the nazism, the fascism or the capitalism, that also have been cause of great wars, fall within this general definition of religion and come to confirm the observation of Bertrand Russell.

The challenge of the present humanity is then to find a satisfactory interpretation that it explains why the religions have played that role of catalysts of wars and genocides, integrating it to the new knowledge so that it now allows to escape from that historiness and this way to manage to be unified world-wide to be able to work by the overcoming of the present environmental emergency situation and to define the directives that are to take it by their correct evolution.

The mental plane of the human sort is a dimension of the real space that we must weigh suitably, looking for in it the exit from the existencial contradiction of the modern world. The beliefs are medullary part of the human thought and come occupying a preponderant place in the evolution from our species, reason why suits to study them and to apply them wisely.

This mental plane can be interpreted like the Metaphysical or spiritual space alluded to by the religions, and then it is not independent and determining to the physical reality like in the platonic model, but rather both coexist in mutual dependency and procreation.

    The historical confrontation that has existed between the religion and the development of the scientific knowledge, reveals that science constitutes the creation of a new religion elaborated by the historical humanity, whose development was anticipated by one prehistoric civilization world-wide and impelled by its imposition of the old religion.

Throughout history these two humanities have coexisted, the old one in a process of extinction, characterized by the loss of one prehistoric wisdom that present science not yet has managed to recognize, but appearing again in the modern humanity by means of their rediscovery of the knowledge that is to take it to the understanding of which it is the same prehistoric humanity returning to revive.

That is to say, that this voluntary process of the prehistoric humanity, to die to return to appear again, has had the aim to inherit to the new humanity that prehistoric knowledge of the transcendency of the human spirit through its different generations. This way we can be understanding why the religions have had historically that paper of promoters of wars and genocides.

So that the voluntary sacrifice of Christ came to be the "button of the sample" of a supreme act of love made by one prehistoric world-wide civilization, in which offered the most appraised than any person can have, who is her own life.

    From the human fossil existence of greater antiquity than the one than it refers the Biblical chronology, of undeniable way has demonstrated that Adam and Eva could not have been the first human pair, in case he were it of the Hebrew people. But now actually it is managed like dogma that what Archaeology cannot verify of evident way on the past is necessarily false.

When more realist turns out to manage than on most of the past they could not have been left vestiges archaeological, but they have been left tracks in the psychology, the beliefs and the history of the humanity, that probably reflect the most transcendental facts of the past forgotten our species. As it disciplines science demands to question and to analyze these beliefs, but to take them by false beforehand is so antiscientist as to accept them apriori.

Although Archaeology has had an impressive development, allowing to make great inferences on the past from the relatively little vestiges that have been able to be, the effective theories not yet have been able to surpass the creationist psychology, simply have transferred the concept of the divine creation referred in the Biblical g�nesis to a miraculous recent development of human intelligence. But it is much more coherent with the evolution of our human species throughout both million years of the Quaternary Era, supposition that the present creation of the scientific knowledge has been developed fundamentally by inheritance and not for the first time.

    Religious dogmas like the one of the resurrection of the flesh or the reincarnation of the spirit, pertaining to diverse religions, are interpretable on the basis of anthropological arguments and from the well-known development of universal history.

The concept of the cosmic mestization or all the races of the Mexican philosopher Jose Vasconcelos is related with the dogma of the resurrection of the flesh, since this is original of an extensive zone that surrounds to the Middle East, which is a geographic vertex of union between three continents: Asia, Africa and Europe, have been the first region anywhere in the world where from prehistoric times they have been able to converge and to be crossbreeded all the human races.

We can then interpret the dogma of the resurrection of the flesh like the religious slogan of the repetition of this cosmic mestization or total at world-wide level, which with the expansion of the western or European culture by means of its colonization of the rest of the continents, has occurred throughout of the world, and particularly extensive way in America.

A daily verification of the resurrection of the flesh is that many Mexicans have common racial characteristics with the Arab peoples, the similarity with the people of India already existed from before the time of the Colony, from which the historical error was derived to call Indians to the inhabitants of America. It agrees to formulate to this cosmic mestization, that has not only been racial, but also cultural and spiritual, like the sense that has had our universal history.

The concept of the resurrection of the flesh is coherent with the concept of the reincarnation of the spirit, pertaining to cultures that by their antiquity not yet had completed the cosmic mestization, and its idea of reincarnation allows them to return to live as much in its original race, like in new mestizations.

The philosophical foundation of these religious concepts is the eternal return through the time, built in the observation of the regularity of the natural phenomena, from the astronomical phenomena to the social phenomena, concluding that our species comes evolving in cycles that are not identical but similar, in which comes reincarnating the human spirit who does not escape either to his evolution. We can consider to this cyclical nature of the universe like its feminine quality, on the basis of the cycle of fertility in the woman, who mysteriously tends to agree with the cycle of the phases of the moon, settling down an intimate relation between the star and the femenine.

    We will understand then to the new knowledge, that contains to the scientific knowledge, like a religion without churches, ministers, nor ritual, whose daily oration is the work arranged between people of all the ages to surpass their common problems and to satisfy their spiritual necessities. With the policy to respect the beliefs and activities of the different religions, looking for to collaborate with them in the creative work of God, independently of the idea whom they have and we have of him.
