Let's imagine an apple that falls from a tree due to gravity or a child that falls to the ground after it's first steps. Imagine a driver that took the wrong turn and now has to go backwards to find his route again. Imagine someone that made a bad decision in life, whether it's from drug abuse or robbery and has to start over again...
It could easily symbolize our kind falling from grace after our first sin.
As Time goes past our ancestors, some of us like to believe that the future brings us evolution, prosperity and most importantly, gets us closer to God.
I think otherwise. The first man was the closest to God in wisdom and beauty. Everything heavenly we can name, was part of man's life in that time.
Mankind's first sin initiated a reversal cycle. It's like standing on top of the highest mountain and fall all the way to the ground. The process of climbing will not be seen as evolution but the opposite. Everything we know now, was completely futile and irrelevant for the first civilizations.
They did not need to know the composition of an atom in detail, or worry about how many cells there is in a body. They had all the concepts they needed.
There is proof that past civilizations were wiser in almost everything we can possibly imagine. They were proven experts on studying the astros and syncronize buildings with the stars. They were precise on geometry and developed all of the sciences we named after them. Of course they didn't have all of the technology that we have these days. And though they were part of the long process of creating those modern devices, what they did was quite sensational.
Look at Egipt for an instance. The Great Pyramid, is proven to be the most effective and solid building mankind has ever made.
But there are others, just look of what past civilizations did in Asia and Europe in the past: Quite remarkable to say the least.
Moral of the story:
The fewest concepts we have, the better it is to learn. The brain is like a computer's hard disk. It should only keep what's necessary. Our ancestors could find all the celestial constelations by relating apples with oranges.
We have telescopes and all the modern devices you can name and still cannot be as precise as they were thousands of years ago. We cannot even come close to the buildings they did centuries ago.
Our ancestors thoughts were as far as the Galaxy goes; We like to think about the composition of an atom, or how many calories in a apple.
We're definately going backwards as we move forward in time.
