Many "educated" people have bought into the lie that humans evolved from fish, which had evolved into monkeys and which man evolved from.
Sadly, if you believe that lie then you also might believe that once men's brains evolved enough to have a consciousness...that THEY invented the idea of God and then morphed it into various religions to worship the God they invented!
Sounds reasonable!
But now that we have SCIENCE and we are SO MUCH SMARTER than our Neanderthal ancestors....maybe we can come up with a much better idea than "God"? After all, hasn't this invention of "God" in our minds caused all sorts of hatred and bloodshed as we fight over Allah, Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Thor, Zeus and Hercules?
Humanity no longer needs God but may with the help of artificial intelligence develop a new form of collective consciousness that fulfils the role of religion, U.S. author Dan Brown said on Thursday.
Brown made the provocative remark at the Frankfurt Book Fair where he was promoting his new novel, "Origin", the fifth outing for Harvard "symbology" professor Robert Langdon, the protagonist of "The Da Vinci Code", a book that questioned the history of Christianity.
"Origin" was inspired by the question "Will God survive science?", said Brown, adding that this had never happened in the history of humanity.
"Are we naive today to believe that the gods of the present will survive and be here in a hundred years?" Brown, 53, told a packed news conference.
Set in Spain, "Origin" opens with Langdon arriving at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao for an announcement by a reclusive billionaire futurist that promises to "change the face of science forever".
Events quickly take an unexpected turn, providing a plot vehicle for Langdon to visit the historic sites of Spain - including Barcelona, capital of the northern region of Catalonia that is now in the grip of a secession crisis.
Brown, who studied art history in Seville, expressed his concern and sympathy for both sides in the political stand-off.
"I love Catalonia. I love Spain. I hope they work it out. It's a heartbreaking situation, but it's also a sign of the times," said Brown, adding the crisis also reflected the tension in society between the ancient and the modern.
Brown, who has sold 200 million books in 56 languages, admitted to not having read a novel in five years. But he investigated deeply and spent a lot of time talking to futurists to come up with the story line for "Origin".
He recognized that his views may not be welcomed by clerics, but called for greater harmony between the world's great religions and those who profess no faith.
"Christianity, Judaism and Islam all share a gospel, loosely, and it's important that we all realise that," he said. "Our religions are much more similar than they are different."
Turning to the future, Brown said technological change and the development of artificial intelligence would transform the concept of the divine.
"We will start to find our spiritual experiences through our interconnections with each other," he said, forecasting the emergence of "some form of global consciousness that we perceive and that becomes our divine".
"Our need for that exterior god, that sits up there and judges us ... will diminish and eventually disappear."

Poor Dan! One day pretty soon he is going to have to bow before the Creator of the Universe, Jesus Christ, and these words that he said here will be played for all to hear. "Depart from me, I don't know you and you NEVER wanted to know me!"
I'm not going to lie, the future for mankind looks very bleak! We seem to be tumbling down a really steep hill into the DAYS OF NOAH....where people no longer acknowledge their Creator and all their thoughts and actions are continually evil.
If Jesus tarries, we will soon have millions of people who will plug into their virtual reality machines and let their minds begin to believe that they are whomever they want to be!! Do you want to be a handsome professional baseball player who all the women can't keep their hands off of?? YOU CAN BE if you identify as that and create your virtual reality to match! Just remember to plug in your sex doll so you can fornicate well in your created reality!
And please remember, you don't want any god sitting up in the sky watching you and judging what you do with your free time and your life!...so just write Him out of your reality. Since men just created god in their mind....we can just as easily erase him from our reality.
Maranatha!!
