I think we can officially declare this thread dead.

Why maestro?

Has the Pope changed his position in relation to science?

Don't mind me, either!

I hope the Pope remembers that, if Icarus hadn't flown at all, he'd still be imprisoned in a tower on Crete.


Yay first post!

Nice find, modelcadet, I seem to have missed this topic the first time around. Fascinating read.

The Pope is an anachronism. And worse, he is an advocate of keeping humanity enslaved with the chains of ignorance and dogma. He doesn't want us to fly, to realize our potential and break free of the superstitions of our past. An ignorant populace is easier to manipulate and control.

"Contemporary life gives pride of place to an artificial intelligence ever more enslaved to experimental tecnhiques, thereby forgetting that all science should safeguard mankind and promote his tendency to authentic goodness," the Pope said.


Artificial Intelligence? This sounds like it was written by racter.

I wonder how I missed this thread the first time around... after reading the posts here I have come to the conclusion that almost all of my thoughts have been expressed at least once... except one. Since the Pope insists on making statements that seem as if they can almost rival that of a third-grader... I have only one thing to say: I think the Pope is a Poo-Poo Head!!!

Foolish Pope, man is in the process of discovering or should I say rediscovering God. Matter and energy are but aspects of information, and information or ideas can never be created nor destroyed. Existence revolves around the basic ideal truths, perfect democracy, perfect resource distribution, everything is in the public domain. It is our society's primitive local man upheld laws that cause all the unnecessary suffering in this here world.

When we take what we've learned and give birth to a new race, it will be a race of Gods, the posthuman condition, the ideal condition, a world in the presence of God a being that can alter all probabilities past, present and future, the collective vote of all that is, man will have awakened what he longed for the most, man will have awakened God or the Alpha and the Omega.

As the church has in the past it will again, stand in the way of progress. But it shall fail, man's now too close, on the verge of the greatest era of scientific discovery, either we will succeed or we will die trying. It is our destiny to try, and I hope that it is our destiny to succeed.
