Priests Are Obsolete, Science Is The New Religion

New perspectives on life and the afterlife can only be conceived from the meeting of science and spirituality, not from the isolation of one from the other.

As I said before, in Giza there are three pyramids of the kings, including the Great Pyramid, and all three have small passages and empty rooms. Khafre's pyramid still had its top covered by the layer of limestone that had once provided the three structures with a perfectly smooth white surface and he licked it. They knew, probably, that we have salt prisms! Using the measuring instruments, I calculated that the Great Pyramid, when it reached a precise point, had a height of one hundred and forty- six meters, or more than thirty meters than the pointed tower of Amiens cathedral, the tallest in France. The Egyptians used only 203 rows of masonry to achieve this amazing height ime. The inclination of its side was fifty - one degrees, as much as was necessary to make its height and one - half its circumference equal to T, as well as the Fibonacci sequence described by Jomard.

Despite this strange coincidence, the purpose of the pyramids still eludes me. As works of art, they were sublime. In terms of utility, they seem meaningless. In front of me were buildings so smooth when they were built that no one could stand on them, with corridors difficult for people to walk through, leading to rooms that they wish they had never been used, and mathematics code that seemed hidden to everyone except a specialist.

Monge said the whole thing probably had something to do with religion.

Does the shift from a belief based on place and time to universal scientific laws show your progress towards an objective understanding of the world?

- Five thousand years from now, will people understand the reason behind the construction of the Notre-Dame cathedral?

- Be careful that the priests do not find out that you said this.

- Priests are obsolete, science is the new religion. For the ancient Egyptians, religion was their science and magic an attempt to control what could not be understood. Mankind has progressed from a past in which each tribe and nation had its own set of gods to one in which many nations worshiped a single god. However, there are many faiths, each of which considers the other to be heretical. Now science is no longer based on faith, but on reason and experiment, and it is no longer centered on a nation, a pope or a king, but on universal law. It doesn't matter if you are Chinese or German, if you speak Arabic or Spanish: science is one. That is why he will triumph and that is why the Church instinctively feared Galileo. But this structure behind us was built by a special people with special beliefs, and we may never discover their reasoning because it is based on religious mysticism that we cannot understand. Deciphering the hieroglyphs could help us.

Does your science provide a common language to understand nature, beyond beliefs and ideologies, guiding you in your search for universal truth?

In the context of scientific advancement, the boundaries between old and new become increasingly transparent, and the exchange of ideas between old beliefs and new theories facilitates the emergence of a universal consciousness that embraces the recreation of the world in harmony with the universe itself. In an interconnected world, governed by reason and experiment, beliefs and ways of thinking are rewritten under the influence of universal principles, based on cause and effect, which promote equality between people as the essence of a synergistic life, such as accepting diversity, promoting tolerance and the formation of mutual respect, regardless of their national or linguistic origin.

I believe that this process can lead to the dilution of religious mysticism and the formation of a global perspective based on science, where creation becomes the main point of reference, but also to the recognition and valorization of social diversity, differences and individual skills.

Are you exploring the possibility of a vision where the visual perception of religious symbols intertwines with scientific aspects, in a dialogue that transcends simple observation?

I could not disagree with this prediction -- I was, after all, a Franklin man -- and yet I had to I wonder why science, if it was universal, had not already swept everything before it. Why were people still religious ? Science was ingenious but cold, explanatory and, with all that, it does not give away answers to the biggest questions.

She answered the " how " but not the " why " and thus made people miss her. I suspected that the people of the future will really understand Notre - Dame, just as we now understand a Roman temple. And he revered and feared, probably in the same way. I told myself that the revolutionaries, in their rationalistic fervor, were losing sight of something, and what was missing was the heart or the soul. Did he have knowledge and place for something, or hope for the afterlife ?

From the perspective of a visual and spatial understanding, what do you think the interaction between scientific rationalism and religious emotional experiences will look like in an age where balance is essential to receiving a big picture?

We thus understand that if for our contemporaries science and technology are to be agents of progress, they are called to restore in their quality of "progress" the harmonious functioning of a universe in which the hope and understanding of the human soul are not affected by existential dilemmas. Their role becomes that of inculcating the principle of universality into society and bringing the confused spirit of the fervent back to the middle path. However, the necessary condition for an effective relationship in the future, between science and the universe, is to first observe a fundamental similarity between what science can explain and what religious people receive as consolation.

Within this common similitude, the driving force necessary for change comes from the tension between the opposing principles of reason and worship, one of which operates and the other undergoes transformation. Further, the favorable condition for innovative activity, related to the expansion of knowledge of the world in the universe, is not the simple repetition of the known, but the mutual adaptation of old beliefs with new discoveries. New perspectives on life and the afterlife can only be conceived from the meeting of science and spirituality, not from the isolation of one from the other.

The scientist answers the 'how', but the spiritual search for the 'why' continues to fuel the human spirit."

Priests are obsolete, science is the new religion. Reflecting on the visibility and importance of the creations of the new world, science will have to embrace a spiritual dimension that also responds to the needs of the soul. Convinced that the future may bring a reconciliation, do you imagine how the symmetry between science and faith could achieve a harmony through stylistic cursive, where each explains the world in its own unique way?

The Journey to Eternity is an expression of human aspirations to transcend the limits of time and space, combining art, mathematics and spirituality.
