Could mans evolution lead to him achieving omnipresence and omnipotence?

Question

Evolution in a broad sense, that is to say incremental improvement. Think beyond carbon based, DNA encoded corporeal manifestation. Could another lifeform have beaten us to the punch?

Try not to think in terms of strict Darwinian evolution. Consider incremental changes like cybernetics, gene therapy and beyond...

storm,

omnipotence impossible because we have yet to control certain physical processes, (therefore we never will?):

well maybe it is maybe it isn't, but that argument aginast it is pathetic, put it back where you found it.

impossible for a corporeal form to achieve omnipresence?

you say consciousness can't be everywhere but don't even define it (after saying you would). That's quite a leap of faith. If it can exist anywhere(it can, given a suitable vessel), it can exist everywhere.

omniscience:

not on the table. strawman bullsh*t.

Answer 1

Well, that warrents a full blown investigation into both how humans currently operate, and how an omnipresent, omnipotent being (aka God) works. Welcome to what the rest of us have been doing since time began. Heh. But to simply answer the question, I particularly am into more alternative models of how things operate, but that overall that humanity can evolve and become aware to the point where it will at somepoint reunify with God (or actually eventually strip away that which separates us from God in the present moment).

Answer 2

It's difficult to omit any form of evolution in order to resolve your question. Evolution, after all, is NOT strictly limited to nature -as you yourself have touched on in your question: we, as a species, are making great strides in our evolution -through cybernetics, nanotechnology, medicine, etc.

As for omnipotence, omnipresence, and (what you left out) omniscience, it is, by definition, impossible for a human to achieve. Here's why, by way of their invidual definitions:

Omnipotence (Omnipotent): "All powerful". Okay, sure. We've harnessed the power of the atom..., but have we harnessed the power of a black hole? Are we able to rule over gravity or manipulate any number of the perhaps non-discovered "powers" in the universe? No.

Omnipresence (Omnipresent): "Being Everywhere". This doesn't just relate to our physical presence in the universe (known or unknown), but our consciousness (see next definition) as well. Theoretically, one may coexist with themselves if they were able to travel through time. However, that doesn't mean that you can exist in every location along every timeline in every possible location in every universe. It is, by definition, impossible for a corporeal form to perform this action.

Omniscience (Omniscient): "All Knowing". Again, another impossibility of human beings. We cannot know everything in the universe, about everything in the universe; we cannot know the thoughts or feelings of our fellow humans -let alone what we had for lunch on July 2nd, four years ago! It is simply impossible for one to know, for example, what every single individual in the country of China is thinking, feeling, or doing at any given moment of time. We cannot know the origins of the universe or anything beyond the present. We can merely assume, theorize, predict, and guess. Even if we were able to build a computer powerful enough, IT too would not be able to achieve omniscience.

By their definitions, each of these things are impossible for the human species or any known species to achieve. In fact, it is unlikely that any being, corporeal or not, ethereal, extraterrestrial or even god-like can achieve such things impossibilities.

If you can prove, via scientific method, that I am wrong, please tell me how. I've got a can of whoop-a$$ I need to open on a few people (past and present).

Answer 3

As you said in your additional information, maybe not 'strict Darwinian evolution', but with our increases in technology, why not? It just might happen one day.

If you're implying that God was a lifeform that underwent a similar 'evolution', I'd take that with a grian of salt (not believing in the old guy after all), but could we one day 'become Gods'? Well, the only limit to human development is the limits of our imagination. Anything is possible!

Answer 4

Of course that svery probable because everything changes to something better.Those who say that evolution is a lie most say because they say that monkeys are still the same but evolution has branches why are there so many type of primates of flowers or people in general somethings evolve faster and some evolve slower.In the begining there was probably just one cellular structure and from that one something came out and evolved. Beside there is a new type of humans who are called hobbits and they are what you might call what was before us it because theyre evolution cycle got to its limit but ours has a lot to go.

Answer 5

mmm...i suppose that would have to depend on the world we live in in the future. usually evolution makes small changes...if the changes are a good thing (longer legs, larger lungs) then those creatures will have an easier time surviving.

i cant imagine a scenario where evolution would lead to acieving a higher more ....noncorporeal state.

Answer 6

No, because "omnipotence" means all-powerful. If you are all-powerful, than nothing can stop you. There can only be one unstoppable force at a time. Thus, the only being who can ever be omnipotent is God.

Answer 7

No, Man could not stand the competition of ther being more than one omnipotent person. They would kill each other off.

Answer 8

wow...you need Jesus. Man did not evolve. If they did...what happened to all the monkeys? Did they get stuck in the rinse cycle?

Answer 9

crazy but defiantly no we will not reach such a point in human form. and God is already there he is our guide

Answer 10
