Do you think humanity will ever evolve beyond belief in the supernatural?

Answer 1

There is nothing really supernatural out there, just natural phenomenon that has not yet been catagorized by science. Just read "The Tao of Physics" by Fritjof Capra to see how science is finally catching up to and confirming all the mystic "mumbo-jumbo" that sages, seers and shamans have been saying since the dawn of time.

Once science catches up with the mystics then the "supernatural" will be given a new name that will be more acceptable to the secular masses.


If you consider that evolution then it's inevitable.

Answer 2

We already have. I've said it before and I'll say it again:

I give religion 100 years. There will still be some fringe nutters out there, but within 100 years, religion will be dead an buried. Future generations will simply have no reason to believe in it anymore. They don't have a reason now, except for the fact that their parents ingrained it into them. But after a few generations, that will be so watered down that it will no longer be "taboo" to not believe in the supernatural. And when that light finally shines, people will simply admit that it's all childish fantasy. And they will look back in awe that people actually believed this stuff, in this day and age.

Relgion will be replaced with spirituality/philosophy. And I imagine the popular religions of today will still be practiced on a non-supernatural level. Perhaps it will be called "Christo-ism" or "Abrahamism" or something to that effect. But it will be nothing more than a lifestyle, and no longer a fear of the unknown.

Answer 3

I do not think so... at least not entirely. I think there is a part of our psyche that makes us prone to belief in the supernatural... that part of us that places monsters under the bed when the lights are out. That convinces us an omnipotent being watches and intervenes on our behalf when we need help.

Our imaginations are vast enough to create any variety of gods and demons to thrill, love and frighten us. When we were primal we needed only to survive and procreate, but as we evolved we grew curious. Early man began to question and suppose origins and such. We still cling to those early beliefs because on one level they are comforting. People (generally) will always need to belive in something outside of the natural relam.

Many superstitions have roots that are factually based. What man should endeavor to do is separate the truths from the half truths and the completely fabricated.

Now as for myself, I believe there is an powerful being that guided creation (evolution).... can't prove it. I believe we are here to learn from and cooperate with nature.... can't prove that either.

Answer 4

Have you evolved past belief in the supernatural?
If you have are you still human, and are there humans that don't have belief in the supernatural?

If any of your answers is yes then humanity will in fact have evolved beyond belief.

Answer 5

No way. Religion is impregnated on our mind since the ancient times. I believe in science, and it's developing each and everyday, so I don't know if we will find out where "the hell" life and the universe came from. Only when science prove it we will finish all these faith-based beliefs.

I was a christian since I was a kid, with 14 went to the 7th Day Adventist Church and stood there until 18. Then I was in a church hiatus for 2 years (by this time I lost my virginity lol) but then went back to church (church of the Nazarene). Stood there for 2 years and now I'm outta any religion (became an agnostic.)

During all this "religious period" I studied hard the bible and other religions. When I started studying phylosophy my mind opened up, I discovered a lot of new things, so now I feel free of fear. There's no spirits, no demons, nothing.

So every human need to get out the "confort zone" and bust their *** studying to evolve and get out the religious state.
I'm black, black people in general are really religious; so a lot of my homies ain't down with that, so I keep it with me and respect them; now I don't have nothing against any belief, I'm down with all of them, if it's positive and respects life, we can kick it.

I'm feeling 10 times better now than ever. The only thing that religions did in a lot of time is divide and kill people.

There's 2 sides of religion, one good and one bad.
1) it can help people uplift their lives
2) it can **** up your mind, and make you a manipulated dork.

So it's on you to study and free yourself from that, it's only one life to live, so live it to the fullest.

Peace :)

Answer 6

I hope so, but I doubt it, if you mean supernatural as in a religious sense, but there are things in this world that are very unexplainable, such as the energy lines that cross Stonehenge...nothing religious just a curiosity. As for paranormal, as long as the human race is alive we'll always be interesting in the after life, and as for cryptozoology, people need to stop being so close minded and actually accept the fact that there are creatures that we haven't identified yet...but anyway, I hope they can grow outta it in a religious way...but it won't happen for a long long time.

Answer 7

Do you think humanity will ever evolve into the supernatural?

Answer 8

It depends on what you define as supernatural. Let's assume we actually learned everything about the universe. If you ask, "Could there be more?", how would you test the thought. Such thinking would be supernatural.

It is this quest for things that cannot be seen that led to the oft misinterpreted quote by Einstein:

“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”

Answer 9

Nope.

I think the wiser and more truly intelligent we become, the more we will see the absolute necessity of believing in God.

Not the ridiculous god that Pat Roberston and the bible thumpers push -- their own little ventrilloquist doll -- but the real living God of love that Jesus and others talk about.

Good, throrough science tends to bring up more questions than it ever answers, and I think that just underscores the mystery that will always point to God to those who are open to seeing those "road signs."

Answer 10

Only when everything can be explained rationally through the scientific process with no rooms for error. Humankind would also have to end the space program and stop looking toward the stars.
