Kitabı oxu: «Religion and Its Future»

Abstract

Theory of the nature of the universe and man created by the author, which is based on modern achievements of physical science in understanding the laws of the Universe, allowed the author of this research work to logically substantiate the reasons for the emergence of religions, what is the development of religion, how and why religions develop, what religions and confessions are most developed and why, what risks are posed by the lag of religion in its development, why information about the nature of the universe and the meaning of human life is becoming more complicated, what is the mission of religion, which religious association is correct from the point of view of the nature of the universe and the meaning of human life, what are the reasons for the differences between religions, why in the near future a new teaching on the nature of the universe and the meaning of human life will appear, what future awaits world religions.

Theory of the Nature of the Universe and Man (in Brief)

Understanding the nature of the universe is a mandatory condition for a correct understanding of the present work.

A detailed scientific explanation and logical justification of the nature of the universe and man is disclosed in my research work Theory of the Nature of the Universe and Man [1].

The nature of the universe and man can be summarized as follows:

• The Universe is not infinite and has a spherical shape.

• Before the Big Bang, which occurred in the Universe approximately 13.8 billion years ago, the Universe was filled only with quanta of space-time. Quantum has an energy-informational nature. Quantized space-time of the Universe is an energy-informational medium.

• The Big Bang occurred as a result of an increase in the pressure and density of quantized space-time at the center of the Universe.

• The Big Bang initiated a continuous process of the emergence of information and energy in the Universe. The amount of information and energy available in the Universe is colossal.

• As a result of the interaction of information and energy with quantized space-time of the Universe, material matter emerged.

• Information has the ability to self-organize and develop.

• As a result of the self-organization and development of information, developing information systems (DIS) are constantly emerging in the Universe, which, in turn, as they develop, transform into developing intelligent information systems (DIIS). DIS and DIIS are energy-informational objects.

• At some point in the evolution of the Universe, DIIS that have reached the highest level of development self-organized and due to numerous mergers transformed into a universal developing intelligent information system of the highest level of development (the Supreme Mind).

• The process of joining DIIS that have reached the highest level of development to the Supreme Mind is never-ending, as a result of which the Supreme Mind is constantly developing.

• The Supreme Mind has no personal relationship with the external world and no individualizing characteristics.

• Through the purposeful management of information and energy, the Supreme Mind creates the most complex objects of inanimate and living nature from material matter.

• The Supreme Mind purposefully manages immaterial and material worlds of the Universe.

• The immaterial world of the Universe is a collection of a vast number of DIS of varying levels of development that do not possess mind and a vast number of DIIS of varying levels of mind development.

• The material world of the Universe is a collection of material matter (elementary particles possessing mass) and objects of both inanimate and living nature in the Universe, which are composed of material matter.

• The Supreme Mind by means of Information Fields purposefully manages the development of DIS and DIIS for the purpose of their correct development.

• The Information Field is a regional developing intelligent information system of the highest level of development, which purposefully manages the development of DIS and DIIS in the portion of the Universe allocated to it by the Supreme Mind. The Information Field is an integral part of the Supreme Mind, was created and managed by the Supreme Mind. The Information Field is an energy-informational object of the immaterial world of the Universe.

• The means that provide the Information Field with the ability to manage purposefully the development of DIS and DIIS are information and electromagnetic energy.

• The number of Information Fields in the Universe is equal to the number of material worlds where DIS and DIIS for the purpose of their development interact with biological beings living in these worlds. Interaction of DIS and DIIS with biological beings is called incarnation.

• The Information Field is a kind of incubator for "growing" DIS and DIIS in the interests of the development of the Supreme Mind.

• The Information Field destroys DIS and DIIS that do not respond to the correct development.

• For the purpose of the correct development of DIIS, the Information Field uses the following management tools: development, upbringing, punishment of DIIS, or any combination of them.

• As DIIS reach the highest level of development, they become part of the Supreme Mind.

• To achieve the highest level of development, DIIS must cognize the external world and realize the nature of the universe, since without that DIIS cannot reach the highest level of development and become part of the Supreme Mind.

• The development of DIIS is the meaning of their lives.

• Humans call DIIS as the souls.

• The means for cognizing by the soul the external world and realizing the nature of the universe are the soul’s thinking, intellect and consciousness.

• The soul’s thinking is the soul's ability to search, receive, understand, process (that is, store, evaluate, analyze, systematize) information, and to manage received and processed information.

• The soul’s intellect is the soul's ability to transform received and processed information, create derivative information, and to manage derivative information.

• The soul’s consciousness is the soul's personal attitude toward the external world, which arises from its awareness of itself as a rational being distinct from the external world.

• There are many material inhabited worlds in the Universe, where the souls, at the early stages of their development, incarnate into biological beings living in these worlds.

• The incarnation of the souls in the early stages of their development into biological beings is obligatory and necessary for a more dynamic development of the souls compared to their development in the immaterial world.

• Earth is one of the many aforementioned material inhabited worlds in the Universe, where the young souls, for the purpose of their development, incarnate into highly developed biological beings living on Earth.

• During the earthly stage of the soul's development, the Information Field assigns the soul some kind of a "homework," the completion of which is intended to ensure the optimal development of the soul during its earthly stage of development.

• A "homework" depends on the level of the soul's development and the results of the soul's completion of the previous stage of its development.

• The Information Field manages the development of the soul during its earthly stage of development.

• The Information Field assists the soul during its earthly stage of development.

• The earthly stage of the souls’ development occurs through the incarnation of the souls into certain species of highly developed animals and humans.
