Contradictions

Brave New World is quite the interesting book. However, I have noticed it has a few contradictions, and I am certain that I am not the only one to point them out.

In Huxley’s society, history is compared to dust, a meaningless, useless thing of dust. However, the Alphas, the Betas, the Gammas, the Deltas, and the Epsilons are from the Greek language, a part of history.

This "new" world that Huxley has created is some form of a utopian society. Most of the time, these utopias are not involved with religion, which is the exact case of Huxley's world. Instead, the characters in the novel believe in Ford. The characters live in the A.F. era, which I believe stands for After Ford. We live in the A.D. era, and that means after the death of Jesus Christ. It seems as though Huxley is comparing Ford to God and religion, even though the characters aren't allowed to have a religion.

Also, some of the characters, especially Bernard Marx, keep saying the phrase: "Oh, Ford!" Just like how we say: "Oh, God!" or "Jesus!" If I am not mistaken, it's as if a God does exist in this society, only in place of the Lord, they named theirs Ford, after the Ford T-model.
