WD … IMHO your description of Noosphere is better suited to another of Teilhard’s theories known as the Omega Point. In a nutshell, when humanity reaches the Omega point we will no longer require intermediaries … communication for all individuals will be one on one with God. As far as I know the authors of the Noosphere concept do not present it as being God.
Cern is not the first … countless others … individuals, philosophers, corporations, religions and so on and so on. Seems this type of activity is necessary to draw humanity to God. IMHO we must remind ourselves that science is from God as well … at some point science will converge with theology, philosophy and so on and so on.
I disagree. Science distracts and separates Man from God. God permits science, which is a house of cards that he allows to stand, but science is not of God’s nature, more of Satan’s, playing on human curiosity to steer Man farther from God. Why would God want for us to destroy our environment with the likes of science unless it’s about reaping time?
In my pantheistic view, I do Bacon one better–I say science is not just the study of God’s creation (the fruits of which help us to know God better), but the study of God himself.
To me, the scientific method is the language of God. It is the art of asking God questions and receiving His answers. When a scientist conjures up a hypothesis, and conducts an experiment to test it out, he is interfacing with God directly. This is a Q&A session with God. The experiment is a question: am I right? Is my hypothesis correct? The results of the experiment are God’s answer: yay or nay.
(And now with particle physics, I think God is telling us: yay, that’s another way of saying what I’ve been telling you all along).
I don’t think that conscience has a place in self-knowledge. You might perform an action for any number of reasons but conscience is a wrapper around some other motivations. You need to see the real motivation.
Fear is a big motivator… but fear of what exactly?
Why bother recognizing diddly-squat if not to take actions on what you’ve learned in ernest? You don’t need a soul to be a passenger, only need a soul to be a driver.
Science is about creating more harm than good. Science is about polluting the mind, the body, the world and beyond. The scientific language is not that of God, for God speaks with his emotions to ours. Satan is the thinker who seeds Man with his corrupt ideas so Man can feel powerful at first and empty nearer death. The disillusionment of Man is Satan’s playground.
Then you will judge yourself unworthy of God, but where you will go if not into His grace, I don’t know…yet. Many upon many, maybe millions, of souls exist in Hopelessness. Other not so Divine planes exist.
Science, thinking is equivalent to porn, a sex addiction or any drug addiction. Science hollows Man out then Man turns to the material universe for fulfillment with all his obsessions and addictions…everything to escape his emotions, to escape God’s talking to him.
You’re using the basics of existence to aid your argument? That’s weak when there’s so much greatness you could bring forth from all the sciences.
