What do philosophy, religion, and science imply about our significance in eternity?
Science: the universe being initiated does not exist in isolation.
Religion: the universe being created is not the ultimate.
Philosophy: the universe, reality, is tied to the Greater Reality.
The Human species has a unique view to offer eternity.
At this point, we do not yet know for sure what it is, but we seem to be the only life form in this solar system with the capacity for an altruistic abstract perception embracing the rights of the individual, be they human or otherwise.
This unique altruistic abstract percepion seems to be entrenched within us as a species.
Our whole history appears to have been headed in this altruistic direction.
There is no doubt that our history has been filled with atrocious actions indicating just the opposite, but upon closer examination, our species has made valiant sacrifices to repulse the permanency of all such actions.
The heroism, the self-sacrifice, the willingness to give up everything one possesses, including one’s own life, in order to protect the rights of the individual to journey life unimpeded by others has been a magnificent story to watch unfold.
Our history as a species is not one of despair and negativism; it is one of hope and glory. Our history is not one of a glass half empty, but rather one of a glass half full and rising.
We are continually adding to our history of compassion for life, love of nature, and understanding of our significance to the Greater Reality by existing in reality.
The longer science searches, the closer it comes to concluding that our universe, our physical reality, is limited.
Science is beginning to understand that we, Homo sapiens, are but one of many life forms capable of abstract awareness that may be a part of total abstract awareness.
Our universe may very well not exist in isolation.
Life forms within this universe may well be only one of many life forms throughout Reality.
Religion senses this larger Reality, understanding that our existence within this smaller reality physicalness may have a significant part to play within the greater Reality.
And philosophy may be on the verge of getting back on task and develop its first unified view, a model of a universal philosophy explaining our significance in eternity.
Panentheism may well prove to be the path leading to philosophy’s getting back on task of developing a universal philosophy explaining our significance in eternity.
A unified view would be a means of providing a foundation beneath all three – science, religion, and philosophy.
