Many different religions have been created by man even though only one true religion will ever be found for a monotheistic God. Ancient religions were originated with talking languages. Such languages usually became the common language of the nation in which the religion operated. When man learned how to write about 5000 years ago, religions began to propagate their religion with a scripture prepared with a written language. The early scriptures wrote the scriptures (e.g., Old Testament) as if God was talking to the. But, a monotheistic God cannot talk with any human unless He appears in our world as a human being. Today, only Christianity and Hinduism claim that God appears in our world. This is why many statements in the New Testament seem to be of divine origin.
Obviously, the quality of a religion eventually began to depend on the quality of the written languages of the nation in which it was written. Since the early written language depended on the content of the ancient talking language and new talking languages had been developing, the written languages of religions began to differ radically. Such religious differences can be noticed today in the conflicts and wars between the Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Unfortunately, such conflicts would increase even more so with the coming of the new and very precise talking and written languages of modern science.
The poor quality of written religious languages in the Western world became known by the 14th century, when scientists learned that Aristotle’s logic was limited to statements of the universe. Thus, all scripture prepared with Aristotle’s logic can be expected to have flawed statements about God and life. This limit led to a major scriptural problem for all Western religious leaders. This problem was then cast into concrete when Galileo said that the universe is not the center of the universe. This saying imprisoned him as a heretic and separated science and theology. This religious problem has never gone away. To solve this problem, science and theology must be unified nd become major partners in developing the future of man and all knowledge related to God, the universe, and life.
With the rise of modern science, it is time to stop all wars immediately. Too many people are being killed unnecessarily. They have been killed for irrational scientific purposes and irrational religions ideas. To build a new world, all world religions must bring forth for this new world only scientifically proven statements from their ancient scriptures about God, the universe, and life. These proven statements would build a peaceful and border-free world with a single written language.
