HARUN YAHYA
They may imagine that the members of our civilization worshipped
a thinking man, or may claim that the statue represents some mytho-
logical false deity.
Today, of course, we know that "The Thinker" was a work pro-
duced for aesthetic, artistic reasons alone. In other words, if a re-
searcher in tens of thousands of years lacks enough information and
holds his own preconceived ideas about the past, it's impossible for
him to arrive at the truth, because he will interpret "The Thinker" in
If Rodin's "The Thinker" is discovered 6,000 years from now, and people interpret it with
the same prejudice that some scientists interpret past today, they will think that 20th-cen-
tury peoples worshipped a man who pondered, and were not yet socialized, etc. Wouldn't
this show how far they were from the truth?
