Reality, Real-World Connections, and the Supernatural / Religion, cultures, calendars [Finalized]

If you are knowledgable in the Hindu religion, please post on Crono's two blades, the Shiva Edge and Kali Blade.
Shiva and Kali are forms of God that represent Destruction. That is to say, the Destruction of Ignorance. Hindus hold that this world is created, preserved, destroyed, and reborn in cycle.
Hinuds hold that this world is an illusion, and that the purpose of "living" in this "world" is to refine oneself to be reunited with God. If a human is unable to refine themself at the end of a life, they liveanother life...humans live a number of lives, being reincarnated over and over again, until they have refined themselves to the point that they can reunite with God.
Ignorance is the Ignorance that this "world" is "real." Shiva and Kali, who is actually a small part of Shiva, shatter the delusion that this world is real, and destroy this "world" in cycle.

Lavos, the Planet, and other Entities / Lavos And The Universe

The concept of the Frozen Flame granting humans intelligence, and that fact that Laruba and Ioka have established at least primitive cultures, seems to leave a paradox...
...would you not still consider the people of Ioka and Laruba to be intelligent? They indeed had an oral form of language...intelligent enough to speak to Crono and company (people from thousands of years into the future!)
Of course, the game being all in one language was simply to facilitate the player...but if Crono and company had to use a translation device to understand what Ayla was saying, it would be more believable. The concept of a language not changing in tens of thousands of years is unthinkable!
What I am trying to say is that the records of Chronopolis that state that humanity did not become intelligent until contact with the Frozen Flame are incorrect, or simply refer to one or a few time streams of the Chrono universe.
