We're all related to a degree..all of us humans are related to a fiftieth degree of cousinship with everyone else... A Baha'i writer Guy Murchie wrote about that

Guy Murchie, "The Seven Mysteries of Life: An Exploration In Science & Philosophy"
H..ghton M-fflin | 1978 | ISBN: 0395263107 | 690 pages | CHM | 20,1 MB

"All life in all worlds" -this was the object of the author's seventeen-year quest for knowledge and discovery, culminating in this book. In a manner unmistakably his own, Murchie delves into the interconnectedness of all life on the planet and of such fields as biology, geology, sociology, mathematics, and physics. He offers us what the poet May Sarton has called "a good book to take to a desert island as sole companion, so rich is it in knowledge and insight."

Review
Guy Murchie writes with exceptional skill and encyclopedic depth about the nature of life. The author, by turns a schoolteacher, pilot, journalist, and photographer, seems to have absorbed facts over a long lifetime like the proverbial sponge. Assuming the perspective of an observer outside earth, he explores all nooks and crannies, marveling at the diversity and abundance of life forms. His first sections are Aristotelian - a natural history of animals highlighting the extremes of physiological adaptation that have enabled creatures to live at the depths of ocean trenches, in the deepest caves, at high altitude or in desert heat and drought. The reader, cued by the magic seven and the mysteries of the title, will not be surprised that Murchie looks beyond appearances to find a guiding hand or immanent presence. These possibilities are explored in the latter half of the huge book. Progressing from the first mystery, the abstract nature of the universe; the second, the interrelatedness of life; third, its omnipresence; fourth, the polarity principle; Murchie moves on to mysteries five, six, and seven: transcendence (including a discussion of death), the germination of the world, and the

Re: Genealogy of Baha'u'llah

Iconodule

So you reject your own scripture? Thats fine.

I thought I'd add another post though I think there's a very high degree of likelihood that Baha'u'llah's family is descended from the last Sassanid royal family as they were from Nur and the Mazandaran area and that was an area where the last holdouts lived from the Sassanid family... The Sassanids in their turn traced themselves back to Zarathustra...

Iconodule, I was not saying I didn't believe Jesus' lineage was correct. I was pointing out that it is beleved (by me as well), but it is no easier to believe that Jesus is a direct male descendant (until Marry, and then of course LEGALLY He still was, because of Joseph) of King David than it is to believe that Baha'u'llah is.

Why are you even here? You are making Christians look horrible with your actions on this forum. You're not going to convert any of us by attacking us. Instead, why don't you do what Jesus said: love God, love your fellow man (including us Baha'i), and serve. We're not a threat to your religion, so stop trying to attack ours.

Im heard Mary was not a descendant of David. But she was a descendant of Abraham...

Where does it say through Mary? Now you have me curious.
