Has Humanity become God?

Thats good... but many of us dont -way more many. The reason we are not becoming better than we are now, the reason we cannot overcome our problems is because many of the people who have the power to make a change, fail to do so.

And I beleive there may be a misconception about the meaning of this thread, so to clear things up, I did not at all mean anything about humanity actually reaching a point in being equal to a God in greatness or good -I meant simply that we have gotten so much power and we use and abuse it so easily -we are driving a car down an unfinished highway 100 mph without knowing what is ahead. It may be about time to put on the brakes... That should be in a book.

So, we have in a way become God, in a metaphorical sense. because we have the many powers that we attributed to God alone once, and we can do all these great things -that ultimately bring us nowhere but backwards. Our power is becoming detrimental to the good of society in general.

Ok, so we arent certain we come from monkeys or not... we can still blow up the world and mess around with a million things we shouldnt that could lead us, and are leading us, to very bad places.

God is metaphorical as i already said, but yes we are a lot closer to the point of too much power than we think. We can make life, prolong life, destroy it all, build and synthesize quite a lot. Ok so we cant fly to other galaxies but we still have A hell of a lot more power than we realize.

yeah, but that was power derived from science, we still do not have too much power

And Just because it is science it is justified or used correctly? Science made the atom bomb -may have saved lives back then, true, but could cost a lot more in the future. It also made commercialized abortions -who cares whether or not we should have the right to them, but they are still just one more way we use science to justify what we know is wrong. Science has also made everything we ever wanted, patented and with a price tag to be used at our whim -or disposal maybe is a better word.

Of course I CANNOT and will not discredit science -because it has helped us in a million ways (medicine is a major one)-but it has in many places overhelped us, and is reaching a point where 95% of scientific research goes to things we want instead of things we need -not that the percentage has changed much over the past 300 years since we have always wanted more than we needed...

The truth is, as is very obvious: We are reliant on science, and on making everything good and simple and on being able to do anything -that has a physical and phycological effect on the way the world acts and thinks. Supermans "great power, great responsibility" thing -well lets just say we have to work on the responsibility part, a lot.

We can have science, but either we start to put limits on it or begins to limit us -in a very not happy way...

I'm not. I'm Agnostic.

I just don't beleive in Christian-Judeo / Islamic version of God. I refuse to worship a hypocritical, sexist tyrant.

Anyways...trying to get back on topic....

I was thinking yesterday, and a very good example came to mind of how much power we have -in this case over nature.

Increased urbanization and claiming of land has forced many forest dwelling animals to be secluded in forests and such, we initially end up swiinging the entire system out of alignment. We claim that then there begins to have "overpopulation" of a specific species because they have been forced away from predators or there are too many confined in one area (how ironic isnt it)...lets just say the deer in this case... maybe because they have eaten too many flowers from people's gardens. What is always our solution? Kill them, or more politically correct to say "balance out the population". Most of the job goes to commercial or sport hunters, many of which could care less about the food part of it -which turns the whole thing into a slaughter all for the good of the community... This is the way we deal with most of our problems nowadays...using some quick cheap repair job for our problems. Kill it, tear it down, destroy it.

Whether this the population leveling is justified or not, it paints a pretty clear picture of what we are...the game controllers of the world. We cause a problem and instead of facing it -whether for monetary or laziness reasons, we take the short way out. In general it shows a disregard for life and for anything that we do. Thats why we have abortions, thats why we have so many "quick do it for you" sort of things...We cant handle the very problems we create.

Also consider that: Everyday...

-Upwards of 50,000 people per day are needlessly dying on Earth. These deaths are dictated by the greed of a very few, and the rest of us are not changing it...

-578 species of the web of life to go extinct. This extinction rate equals one species of life going extinct every 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Millions of people are at work legally day and night, quickly destroying the richest place there is for life on Earth, the Rainforests.

-We are destroying a land area which is equivalent to the size of the city of Tokyo Japan ( 240 square miles ) every day.

These were from: [http://www.starvation.net/]

I dont want to go too deeply into abortion but...
-Aprox 944,935,000 worldwide so far (mostly in the last twenty years) ... Thats about a Billion Abortions...1/8 of the total population of the planet now. More than half of that is made of +8-12 weeks past conception.

Numbers a little high? You tell me.

IMO (in my opinion) until they are born they are innocent and go straight to heaven if aborted(or recycled whichever you prefer to believe) so you are doing them no harm in a religious sense.....????....physical sense, I would hate to be the unborn child if things arent as the bible states(possible since it was written by man).....bottom line is non contraceptive users need to convert to contraceptives! Put yourself in the unborn babies booties! I dont know ya killa but I back your statement.....
