Towards the end of nineteenth century, emerged a philosopher from Europe and claimed, 'God is dead and I am ready to rule the world' along with the concept of "Will to Power' (brutally misused by the Nazis for their mad purposes) to explain the human beings as having the ultimate power. We all know this man by the name of Nietzsche (pronounced Neethsha from what i heard last from a German names pronounciation specialist)Today, more than a hundred years later scientists and intellectuals of the world are expecting people's fascination for religion and superstition to disappear within a few decades as television and the Internet make it easier to get information. Scientists are getting closer to discovering a 'final theory of everything' and hence will be negating the 'existence of God' in a scientific way.
Philosopher Daniel Denett believes that within 25 years religion will command little of the awe it instills today. The spread of information through the Internet and cellphones will "gently, irresistibly, undermine the mindsets requisite for religious fanaticism and intolerance".
Biologist Richard Dawkins said that physicist would give religion another problem: a theory of everything that would complete Albert Einstein's dream of unifying the fundamental laws of physics. "This final scientific enlightenment will deal an overdue death blow to religion and other juvenile superstitions."
Part of this final theory will be formulated by the scientists working on the Large Hadron Collider, a particle accelerator at Cern in Geneva, which is to be switched on this year. It will smash protons together to help scientists understand what makes up the most fundamental bits of the universe.
I am not complaining...religion has always resulted in more evil than goodness, so we are headed towards a better world.
