A Philosophical Idea of the Existence of God
    #22157974 - 08/28/15 06:56 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

This is an interesting concept regarding god, what god is, and I would love to hear your comments regarding this concept. Also I will be making a YouTube video explaining these ideas that I have. I actually just made a YouTube channel and would also love to hear your feedback about my first video at the end of the explanation of this concept. ALSO I KNOW ITS A LITTLE LONG TO READ, PLEASE DON'T CLICK AWAY JUST BECAUSE ITS A LOT TO READ, I honestly want to know what you guys think. Thanks :smile:

We as a human race are uncovering the mysteries of the universe thanks to our recent advances in technology. We as humans will not stop our search for knowledge until we have discovered and figured out every mystery of this universe.
Now imagine where our knowledge as a human race will lie in a thousand years. We will likely know everything about science and the universe by that time. Now I cannot predict when we as a human civilization will know everything, but what I can predict is that we will eventually know everything. It is just a matter of time.
This may be seem crazy to many or most at first reading this. But I assure you this makes logical since.
So as humans approach the day when we will know everything, we will also know how to take our collective knowledge of the human race and put it into a central database where everyone can access it. This is similar to what Wikipedia is working on at the moment. Wikipedia’s goal is to put as much knowledge and information in a single place for free. The internet it a vast and cluttered source of information, but information nonetheless. The Internet can be inaccurate just as Wikipedia can be. But the Internet and Wikipedia are brand new to our world. They haven't even existed for a century as of yet. As time continues, we will soon completely understand how our own mind collects, stores, and interprets knowledge and information. Once we understand that, we will then be able to connect everyone's mind to a central database of knowledge. Allowing everyone to know everything. Now this arises an interesting question, if everyone knows everything, then won't that remove everyone's individuality? The answer is no. Imagine for a second you and your best friend want to learn calculus. You both take a yearlong class to learn the subject of interest. Once both of you are proficient in calculus, does that remove both of your individualities. No, both of you are still the same people you were before, only with a little more knowledge in that small 3 pound brain of yours. All a central database is, is the ability for a human to learn a given subject in a matter of seconds rather then ever having to brutally study the subject. You will be directly downloading the information into your mind.
Say for example you have a textbook that you need to put into the computer; to do this easily, you can take that textbook and scan every page until the entire textbook is inside the computer. From that point it is easy to transfer that textbook to every other computer without ever having to rescan each page of the textbook again. In much the same way, what we as individual humans are doing, is for every child wanting to learn something, we have to teach this child in a slow and brutal manner until they have scanned the whole textbook into their mind. There is no easy way to transfer information between one individual to another individual in a very fast and efficient manner.
Imagine all humans being connected to this central data base of knowledge. This would mean that any human could build and control anything they wanted just because they have the knowledge to do so.

Would this not make us essentially like a God, or rather, an organization of people that act like a god? Thank about it for a moment. We could build a new solar system, we could initiate the spark of life on this new planet (the spark of life being putting single cell organisms on this planet and watch how they evolve). And since we no longer die thanks to our significant scientific knowledge, we would essentially have full control over the species that evolves. We could perform miracles, rise from the dead, turn water into wine, etc.
This is an interesting concept regarding god, and what god is, and this is why I choose to be an agnostic and not an atheist.

We know it will be just a matter of time until this could very be our reality, and who says there isn’t a god, and who says that a god didn’t create us?

But one thing is for certain, what we think a god is, may very well be completely wrong. 

MY INTO VIDEO TO TOPICS LIKE THIS: (my future videos will be much more serious, but this really is just kind of a fun intro video giving you guys the idea behind my channel)


If you like the video, please like and subscribe! Thanks!! :smile:

Could you explain why it is logical that we will know everything in 1000 years? I find that to be highly unlikely, if not impossible.

It could be. But based on our current conduct, it doesn't seem like it will be. I mean shit, if we were living in the Star Trek fantasy where war, poverty, segregation, etc had ended, then maybe. But would you also know everyone else's thoughts?

Either way, I just can't see humans getting on an collaborating to the extent that would be required. Perhaps if we were attacked by an alien race, and we all hand to band together and forget our petty differences, we might be somewhere on the right path towards that fantasy. But as we are, IMO, we're a tribal species, which means we're just not gonna get on well enough to achieve what you suggest. And I suspect we're gonna do a bloody good job of wiping ourselves out before we can ever grow out of that.

Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.

Assuming we don't wipe ourselves out, which is quite a real possibility, I tend to look back at the past where no one really ever got along. What we continue to see is our world getting smaller and more people are willing to corporate with each other more than ever before. In the past it was just small groups of people and tribes that stuck together, and now we have nations that stick together. And we even have the United Nations that help up stick together multiple nations. And we wont ever completely get along on an individual scale, but think of it my like (the majority wins) and since we will be so connected, everyone will get a vote on every matter.

Also you brought up an interesting concept about everyone being able to read every one else s mind, but I want you to think about it like your computer. You choose what you want to share, and what is stored on your local hard disk (e.g. your mind). So people will only be able to see what you share.

Haha it was actually a green screen! :smile: But I did my best to make it look like I was actually there. Thanks for the compliment!

It may not be 1000 years, it may be 10000, or a million. But science discovery has shown us that our knowledge is exponential, not linear whatsoever.

But that is besides the point that I am trying to make (although I do appreciate you bring that up, I will need to make that more clear when I make this video explaining this concept.)

But regardless, whether it is in 1000 years or a million years, if we don't our selves, and we have the power and knowledge as I described, would we not be essentially be like gods to a civilization if we were to create one? That's the idea..

There's a lot of redundant, made up stuff on the internet which is why you look for cited journals or scientific articles about such topics.

Psychology articles could explain a lot to you.
