Soundwave said: I think humanity will eventually conquer death through technology. Not in my life time, probably not in my kids, but after that all bets are off. Once death is conquered, I think the appeal of God lessens considerably. Right now we need it as humans because death is a depressing thought, we need to be comforted that there is something else. |
I don't think immortality will kill off the need of God or lessen it as the chances are only the rich and powerful will have access to the tech. It may happen in stages where:
1) the elite few have it and no one knows of it
2) The wealthiest of the wealthiest can only afford it
3) the wealthy and popular can have access to it
But then as our history proves it will leak out and then you will the big problems where life will have zero value. Humans will be produced to work as slaves, be used as canon fodder etc
