Did Science Bury God? [Spirituality & Religion]

🤣🤣🤣@Bagalamaga

@Bagalamaga I'm not sure it will; but unlike Speedy I will try to give you a serious reason I think that.

Individual faiths come and go over historical time, and Christianity, Islam, Judaism etc. are only the "latest" among many.

Yet humanity in general seems always to have needed some sort of "spiritual" or mystical support no matter what faiths are invented to describe it, no matter what cultures come and go.

It's very true that very many people nowadays do not have that need, or at least do not need formal religions. Also there is no "one true religion" as the more fervent in any religion sometimes claim for their own - otherwise there would not be so many deeply-rival faiths and sects.

So I don't see the basic mystic need disappearing completely, though it may reduce a lot more. Specific religions and sects may fade, but not that inherent human desire.

@ArishMell the human desire is only there out of fear and uncertainty. The need to feel that it doesn’t end when we die. Science will find the answers eventually whatever the truth may be,then people can base their fate on facts. If we would burn all the books today and forget about them for a few hundred years,only science would emerge again the same way because it’s based on facts. All the other books and teachings would perish.

@Bagalamaga Yes, you could have a point there, though fear [i]and [/i]uncertainty, and fear [i]of[/i] uncertainty, are not the only motives.
