>>>>I think it's almost inevitable, as more and more children grow up in a world in which science and technology are evolving at such a fast pace, that religion will devolve into smaller and smaller enclaves. The more that science can explain, the less need there will be for religion - especially organised religion.

Is the reverse proportion to increase that "independent" feeling of no necessity to link (or dependency) with the creator.. and here is the main cause for bible 2.0 and stuffs like that... The thought atheist (beyond others) basically use the capacity of creation of human race as the explanation for its own existence. Plus, some natural confluence of materials as the sources of the life on the universe...

I'm not going to argue whether or not technology has been a good thing, a bad thing, or indifferent. Do you deny that there was a time when science could explain very little of how our world works and the number of people who believed in a god or gods was almost the same as the number of people alive? Are you also arguing that as science has become better and better at explaining the world around us, that number has not dropped dramatically?

Once upon a time, people believed in a thunder god. Now we know what thunder is, nobody believes in a thunder god any longer. People believed in rain gods and goddesses, fertility gods and goddesses, sun gods and goddesses etc, etc. As science has become better at explaining these phenomena, those beliefs have dropped away. We have gone from a world in which almost everybody believed in god to a world where probably less than half do (just guessing - I have no real numbers). As long as we couldn't explain the natural things around us, we believed in gods.

As science explains more and more, religion will have less and less of a grasp on the human psyche. People will simply stop needing to believe in mythologies.

If you and others need the comfort of believing that life doesn't end with death, and that there is some great intelligent power controlling your lives, then fine. Your need to believe is your need to believe, but that doesn't change the fact that the numbers of those like you have dwindled dramatically, and will continue to do so as scientific knowledge marches on.

My sister believes as you do that there is something beyond us, but her choice is not to believe in God, but to believe in ghosts, the 4th dimension, flying saucers, astral projection, and all like that. Which only goes to show that as long as science can't explain everything, people will come to all sorts of odd beliefs about what lies behind it all. You choose God, she chooses new age.

I choose to believe simply that science has not yet come to the end of it's road.
