DEFENDING THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
Most people ask …"If God is so great, then why can't I see him or her ?"
We have been trying to put God within the scope of our senses.This is an impossible thing to do.The concept of God is just too huge. All of our logic and linguistic skills will fail if we try to explain God.
I have not seen God. But I am not dissapointed since I feel that my biological eyes might quite incapable of perceiving a dimensional entity that is much much more complex than my own.We share a lot of genetic homology with almost every other living and non living form in this planet. We realized this only a few years back (The Human Genome project ). This could be taken as the scientific explanation for the "Oneness" with the universe. Any decent physicist should be able to tell you about the many other dimensions that exist. We are able to physically sense only 3 dimensions ( length, breadth and height ).
So, my point is that we are still infants in our potential to evolve. It is too early to hypothesize
about whether Jesus was really blond. Let's use transhumanist technologies to evolve and improve our understanding of our own body. Our understanding of God will also improve along with it and one day, we will be able to experience what we call God without religion, drugs, electrodes. I am sure of this. But that future is so different that I can't even imagine what it would be like.
The true ultimate aim of any religious work is actually to escape and transcend beyond the verses. This is what escaping all bondage and desires really equates to; transcending our biological limitations.
This is why I think transhumanism or any futuristic movement can take us there. Therefore, there shouldn't be a problem in a transhumanist being religious.
However, religion should never be forced on anyone.This also means that you don't get to laugh at people who are religious.
People should study religion by themselves and not depend on falsified versions. It is not religion which is at fault, but us. Let's tweak ourselves, ethically.
