Someone here said that now everything was explainable and that therefore there is no need for god..
..Why do you think god and all things under it including the christian
concepts of afterlife etc. and unexplainable by science?
If there is afterlife and god, they are perfectly explainable by science, it's just that it is not possible to do that just yet.
1000 years ago science could not explain radiation or existence
of radio wave images or sound. That doesn't mean that these things
are above every law of nature.
Fighting religion with science is veeeeery narowminded.
It is absurd to think that religious principles are somehow "supernatural". If they do exist, they are natural.
If god exists he is natural.
The word "supernatural" is a hollow word, it has no meaning.
Supernatural is same as impossible. And if something is impossible,
then it can not happen, and nothing can be above it.
So if god exists, that means that he is possible, therefore he is
natural because by natural (vs. supernatural) we mean everything that
can exist as it does.
And besides, the existence of god is a rather relative issue.
It depends on what you consider as god. For a mathematician, god
is the law that 1+1=2 ,out of that law the whole mathematics is buit.
For a physicist, god is energy between quarks becuase in a way it is a soul of the universe.
For a spiritist, god is the collection of all souls that form
one big collective consciousness.
For a naturist, god is the life around him and in him, it is that silent moment in nature in which he gets that feeling that everything is connected.
There is the universe, and inside there are endless particles. Our minds connect these particles to larger structures. That is how we
create a glass, a building in our minds. The same way we create
god in our minds. We say, he is this, he is here, he is there, but
the trouth is that "god" is our little limited concept that can not
really tell you anything about the true nature of the universe.
God is everything, we choose our slice of everything to wich we will attribue the name of god.
And if you are thinking of god as some sort of a spirit that is disconnected from us, then such a thing can not be god, but one of
it's creations, that we only think is god. If god is ultimate, then
we are god too, a part of him, not his sheep or anything, but his flesh, our thoughts are god.
Even if science somehow proves that there is no eternal life, there is no spirit, it still can not disproove such a concept of god.
If god is existence (vs. non existence) than how can it be disprooven?
And as for the original question:
People now believe in science more than before. But science for the masses is just another religion. People believe what other people tell them, now isn't that religion?
The belief is still there, just the source of knowledge ha changed.
Rather than relieing on unexplained sources of knowledge, people rather want to find out things for themeselfs. but this is where the illusion starts, they do not find for themselfs, they just pay others to make new dogmas. P.H.D means that you are the high priest, and that you are always right. It is a new form of dogmas.
But this will not go on forever. One day science will go so far,
that it will become too complicated for the common folks, and they
will start to distrust it, just as they did with old religions.
Even now when people hear about quantum physics they turn their heads ways and say it's bullshit.
People have certain expectations from science, those expectations
are based on their limited logic and intelligence and limited will
to really understand without prejudgements.
People exept science because it better suits them for their own
lives and phylosophy. Once science gets "out of hand" and starts sounding more and more like the old religions, then people will once again be confused and will start doubting it too.
It's not awareness, it's not common sense. It's just that
people want to hear certain things and turn to whatever suits them better.
So why people want to hear that there is no god? Well because
it suits capitalism better. There is no god, there is no unity,
that means that a rich man has nothing in common with the poor guy on the street, and since animals do it, I can do the same thing, and let him starve while I have more and more money.
Darvinism is the religion of the capitalistic world.
People turn to those who understand them and support them. Old religion do not support mans urges for power, vilence and greed.
In the old days man was hopeless against the forces of the nature, and had to "obey". Today man lives in a laboratory where everything
is perfect, he is no longer afraid of non-man threats.
And now he doens't need to obey "god".
Before that, the only reason to obey god was for protection through intervention of some devine forces or whatever.
Now that that he doesn't need this protection, there is no reason to stick around and no reason for listening to christiam, muslim and other morality. And he never really liked this morality anyway, he boeyed it out of fear, so he turns to something more free and forgiving, such as darvinism.
Man has never really cared about anything but his urges and emotions.
The hero of modern age is a man who satisfies his emotions regardles of tradition or other forms of supression.
People love their emotions, and like to listen to them becuase emotions are the perfect way of control. It is the way nature controls
animals.
What better way is there to make someone do something than make him WANT to do it..
In other words, the long supressed EGO of modern man has been awakened by alternatives that were not there before modern times.
Furthermore, this ego is influenced by primitive urges and emotions.
People think that if they loose those emotions and urges that they
are not humans any more, that beyond them is only death.
But beyond it is something far more wonderfull than any of those emotions.
The revolution from religion to science is based on emotions and
urges(urge for freedem, the explosion of supressed impules) .The revolution from barbarism to religion was allso based on
emotions and urges (fear from unpredictability in this case).
