Summary:Over all the centuries, humans have constantly tried to understand the meaning of their own existence, the reason for which they were born, they were living and they had to die, the mythological projections or the philosophical currents of the time trying to propose cosmogonies or valid reasons in this way. What was understood in general, in the common way, was the acceptance of the idea that the human soul comes from the exterior of the seen world, through a creational act which was external to humans, that is (for those who benefit from the supernatural revelation to understand better the truth), from God. The biblical perspective about the creation and, implicitly about life, is summed up in the pages of the Pentateuch. This perspective is totally different from the current perspective of man belonging to the post modernistic period, and his vision must be updated for the general Christian interest to save the lives and souls of those still preoccupied with the human’s spiritual perspective, the religious ideal sown in him since creation.
