Zonian,
Not a bad idea, on the whole. I don’t, however, believe that it is necessary for mankind to assume the status of deity in order to improve. The
deity concept is not only a man made idea (like all others) but one that is somewhat ancient that does not benefit from what we refer to as our
current ‘state-of-the-are knowledge base. We, as a species, desperately need to improve ourselves and one hopes, despite the current US
administration and our worldwide indulgence in fundamentalist religious practices, that such improvement is ongoing.
Improvement occurs much like evolution, namely, in small doses, minute changes, quite, slow mutation, as it were, mostly without notice by the
majority of the species.
Maybe we humans ought to allow the female of our species to “run things” for a short time, say, 200 years or so, to see if improvement could occur
quickly and over the short term. It seems that with us males in charge WAR is the final answer to almost everything, every challenge even every
Foosball game if we take note of the riots and destruction of property that occur after many such games. Racism is rampant in spite of considerable
efforts, in the USA and other countries, to the contrary. Now that the human genome has been explained we are left with but one race on the planet.
This new knowledge is tempered by thousands of years of human misconception and ignorance and is not well received by many of the few who are aware of
this new fact.
A better human is not only a good idea, it is mandatory for our survival. To indulge in yet another human misconception, that of deities, as part of
the solution to our current situation holds no appeal for me whatever. But improve we must and it takes individuals like yourself willing to ponder
the method for something to happen.
Your English is to be complimented, whatever your native tongue.
