Once Yahweh, Allah, et al have all gone to the graveyard of forgotten gods (alongside Zeus, Odin and Ra), no one will ever have a need for the word.
It's like "alchemy". People once believed in it but you don't see groups of people getting together to protest "alchemy is bs" today do you? If any protest where to ever happen, people would give the protesters some strange looks and say, "yeah, everyone knows that". We're all a-alchemists. So there's no need for the word.
This is outside the scope of this thread.
Quote:EvolutionWhere are you getting this from?
2. The gradual development of something, esp. from a simple to a more complex form.
If humans, and other life, are becoming more complex then eventually we should get to a point where we become transcended beings that shed our physical bodies, become "energy" of a sort, and live forever like gods.
Unless you are implying that there is some kind of barrier in the evolutionary process that prevents one from becoming this transcended godlike being.
it is a big, unsubstantiated leap to go from complex to becoming energy. i'm not a new age person so i don't even know what that means. also e=mc^2, so mass and energy is interchangeable under the right conditions (sorry if this is off, physics not my strong suit). And you have to define a god like being's biological attributes before I'll speculate to whether or not it's a possibility.
