Simply shameless but beats creating another thread.

Thats really funny. It gets it.

scientific thinking will replace the god concept, the god concept will become a means of deep relationship with the Cosmos, we will realize we are one with all there is, no god needed for that.

No, the future is all of us becoming gods, not just a few.

Yes we are already so called gods, like droplets of god in the vast Ocean of Consciousness, and yes in the future we will all realize this, and hopefully we will treat each other as true brothers and sisters, which we are.

Nope. Eventually science will be able to use technology to overcome our biological limitations and enhance ourselves. But for now, we may approach Godhood by exercising our own Will in life and manifesting our own destiny, or least doing our own best to do so.

You know I don't buy that "one consciousness" talk.

As long as humans worship Gods even a scientific God they will have to suffer. I look for the day we don't have any Gods then we will truly be free.

But consciousness or not, don't you feel we are all connected, call it whatever, I just like to use the word Consciousness.

So true, that is where I live my life right now, why wait ?.

In some ways, as a species with a shared evolutionary history and through our relationships, but we're individuals.

Most certainly we are individuals on one level, but we are really connected to all, ....without the sun, oxygen the planet, the universe, the galaxy, and on and on we wouldn't exist, just like everything that is connected within our own bodies. Anyway that's how I see it.

In answer to the OP: No. Because it's every scientists dream that people think for themselves. People worshipping we scientists as Gods would be antithetical to our dream.

I'm a scientist (retired anthropologist), and there's no way anyone who knows me is going to in any way deify me. The closest I come to being that is when my wife sees me screw something up, looks me in the eye, and says something like "... g*ddamit!"

We used to rely on witch doctors by no choice except they had the secret knowledge. As we stand on the shoulders of the greats we become more knowledgeable of existence in itself. We are doing things now that would not have been tolerated 50 years ago. Now Scientists are doing god like things. If we don't kill ourselves first Scientists will end up being gods.

Thoughts, concerns or questions?

well the future of world is not science ..its spiritual science ..coz science has limits spirituality has no limit..
science itself originated from vedic culture and even the first education system came alive from vedic culture...
well every human is god (ahm brahma asmi)..
next as we say that humans use only 2% of brain ..think when 2% can do such wonders what rest 98% can do..

I have no idea of what you mean by this, frankly. Scientists may perhaps be filling the role of what were once shamans or witch-doctors, but gods?

Do you truly believe there is anything comparable to that satire happening in real life? I will bet you would be surprised if you had the means to gauge.
