Re: In the year 2507 - there will be no religions
Peace malhot
You seem convinced that science will irradicate belief. What makes you so convinced? Do you not realise that your assertion of the future (yr 2507) is a statement of belief?
Or are you trying to assert that rationalism is void of belief?
If you state that “truth can only be known by rational means” then you have made a statement of faith. And the tests you employ to ratify your theories are tests that you put faith in to suggest the meaning you have faith in them for. You have faith in science to deliver your faith in rationalism.
Can you escape faith?
One plus one equals two … how so … because I believe it so. Objectivity in faith is what is important there may be absolute truth out there, but we can only have faith in it, because rationale is but only a tool for us to understand and understanding is a subset of the faculty of faith.
Knowing = having faith with certainty
Trusting = having faith with confidence
Believing = Confirming our convictions
Religion is not faith per se. Your initial assertion is that religions will die out. Then the thread digressed into the faith subject.
In Islam we are told that before the Day of Judgement which is some time in our future people will lose touch with their religion. In fact studies reveal every world religion has gone through a life cycle and ends in a mythological phase. Islam is the only religion that has yet to reach the revival period. After which it too will diminish and be taken away from the people.
So Islam agrees with your statement at least about some time in the future, we cannot say when it will be 100 years, or 500 years, but Islam says that the Day of Judgement and Destruction will only be manifest upon the worst kinds of irreligious people.
So yes … in times to come I trust there will probably be no religion.
