Hegel thought true
satisfaction requires a union of the finite with the infinite,
according to Eliot Jurist, but I believe that demonstrates how
human's always think in human terms, seeing only beginnings and
endings in their human lives they define the universe as having a
first beginning and define Godhood as a final ending.
I see no first beginning
and no final ending, which doesn't kill religion or Godhood, as
science often tells us it does, but it does require a transformation
of religion and Godhood. We evolve to an unending series of
material/supermaterial Godhoods in the material and supermaterial
world, with no beginning and no end.
That means we will get our
religious and scientific satisfactions not from dreaming about a
union of the finite with the infinite but from reaching different
levels of Godhood by way of material evolution---which is the sacred
task of future religion and science.
You will need a stout
heart and a durable ego to sell this religious/scientific overview to
people today. But it's worth it; civilization never lasts long without religion.
