(Part 1)
IN AN OLD episode of "Stargate SG-1," Hanson, the former commander of the SG-9 team, tries to explain why he felt compelled to interfere with the lives of the people on one of the worlds they visited. Unable to walk in sunlight because the sun's radiation is deadly, the natives are cave-dwellers who hunt and forage only at night, and their population is multiplying.
Hanson decides that he has to inspire them--by words or cruel treatment-to build a temple where they can worship him as their god and which will also serve as additional housing for the people.
You can't play God, protests series regular Major Carter.
Hanson holds up a worn copy of the Bible and tells her that he's been carrying it with him wherever he goes, searching for God. "And here I am," he concludes.
Searching for God
All over the world, many people believe that there is a higher power or force, someone or something who hears their prayers, brings peace
and contentment into their lives, and makes miracles possible.
In his book, "The God Gene," which was published last year, Dr. Dean Hamer proposes that man constantly searches for God because his genes make him yearn for such contact.
