is there anything in the bhagavid gita that talks about becoming a god by any chance?
I'm sorry to say whatever you said here is utter trash.

I'm working on reading it right now. Only through the first two chapters, haven't had the focus for the third yet, but it is quite beautiful. I don't think I actually believe in it, but it's full of good thoughts.
My main purpose in posting here is to head off all the people who claim that the epic poem that the Baghvad Gita is an element in contains nuclear warfare. That's an outright myth. will it come up? Probably not. But if it was going to... don't bother

There is now a NEW TEACHING.
Its still just as useful today as it was thousands of years ago. There are 100 000+ people trying to plug their own particular teaching as "The NEW teaching" - but who knows how many come close to the quality of the original.

Exactly, evolution but spiritually
Regarding Rama and Krishna, cmon , they are represented as the avatars of Vishnu, who himself is one of the trinity of the supreme god
If you accept the Dashavatar, then it's said that each avatar incarnates at the end of each Yuga each which take years to end. So far all the 9 avatars have come for a very specific, long and meaningful purpose, and only the 10th one remains

You seem to come up with some pretty impressive indepth research I was wondering if there was any indication in your research that lends crediance to my question ..did early Buddahism actually start spring from Hindism, and the Vedic texts are the depicting events that are contempory to the Sumerian Culture or possibly predate them?

It is in the ancient wisdom of the original teachings that there is wisdom...
