The human soul hungers for transcendence

 

[ 3. Will we ever understand the nature of consciousness?

“Some philosophers, mystics and other confabulatores nocturne pontificate about the impossibility of ever understanding the true nature of consciousness, of subjectivity. Yet there is little rationale for buying into such defeatist talk and every reason to look forward to the day, not that far off, when science will come to a naturalized, quantitative and predictive understanding of consciousness and its place in the universe.”]

—Christof Koch, president and CSO at the Allen Institute for Brain Science; member of the Scientific American Board of Advisers

I don't see how militantly godless SCIENCE will ever triumph over the human hunger for transcendence, for GOD . IN THE BEGINNING there was nothing( ? ) but blind, dumb, undifferentiated STUFF which ultimately led to an Isaac Newton reasoning out the LAWS OF MOTION , Einstein : E= mc ( squared ) , Darwin on the " Origin of the Species " , Freud on the eerie human UNCONSCIOUS MIND and the ID ?

Also the music of Beethoven, Mozart , Bach , Mahler , Wagner .

Or the more modest " Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel ! "

Perhaps if our species can survive a million years it will KNOW God a little better !
