Men may have the ability through advances in science to become immortal, to create new life forms, and to seed space with lower beings. Can men become gods?

Yes, I think that's the whole purpose of the idea of Gods.

I thought the purpose of the ideas of the gods was to explain nature and gives us purpose?

They were supposed to keep people like you in school until 3 PM!

Sorry, it's a 1/2 day.

Oh, why?

So we can go to church for All Saints Day.

To burn wirches? If witches are so powerful as you say then why don't they

prevent you from burning them?

Obviously they don't explain nature, but the purpose is to provide a role model for the human race.

But, the gods do explain nature. It rains because the rain god says so et cetera. As for witches, be kind to witches they are our friends!

But yesterday you wanted to burn them at the stake, why did you change

your mind?

Yesterday was Halloween, you fool.

Yes, I am the god of my universe and anyone who enters it.

You can't be a god. Are you immortal? Can you move freely about the universe? No.

OK, we're young gods.

Exactly, young gods. Of course, if you never actually reach god status, then it doesn't do you much good. But, lifts the ego a bit?

I always thought that to be the case, that if we are able to create life from non life and prolong our lives so much that we are essentially immortal that we will become almost like gods, I want to be the god of giggling...man that would rule

Well, unfortunately, our rein as gods will be short lived, as no doubt, we will create more advanced intelligences.

I am my own DAMN god.

Does that count?

You mean like terminator??!!? OMFG!!!

Well, would these more intelligent life forms allow us to go on our godly ways?

Hell ya, Cylon style.

Exactly. Cylon's didn't let men live. Our reign as gods might be brief.

Well this is all speculation, but I see your point.

If we become gods, will that be the end of religion, or will we worship ourselves?

I worship myself, but not in the divine sense, maybe future humans will do the same thing.

Science has and will more ever surpass anything in which the Bible has said, either in plain text or interpretation, but we must always understand that religion adapts as time goes on, as new ideas are made present, so who knows?

You couldn't pay me to stay here forever. Nor to be anyone's god. These thoughts are for the weak minded who can't get enough of the material.
