Western World Religions Must Go Beyond Scriptures

In my 2/03/08 blog, I suggest theologians and religions unify with the field of science. If this does not occur, I say that war, terrorism, evilness, and social conflicts will continue an make life miserable for most people. I make this suggestion because the content of all scriptures are limited because scriptures are constructed out of imperfect and incomplete symbolic languages. To live on scriptures alone will never be enough. Most theologians know this truth and continue to develop new knowledge. Religious leaders must follow these advancing theologians. And members and families of temples, churches, and mosques must also learn from these advancing theologians.

In the 15th century, a new theologian was born in Germany and left us advanced thoughts that go well beyond the scriptures he used to become a theologian. His name is Nicholas of Cusa and became a Bishop of the Roman Church. Although Cusa is widely accepted as the first modern philosopher, I go further and say that he is also the first modern scientist. So, his work unifies the fields of theology, religion, and science. As a scientist, I studied his work and summarize it in my book, The First Scientific Proof of God..(click) I also add important advances to his work.

In his work, Cusa goes well beyond the Bible. He also became a scientist for many reasons. For instance, he converted the Apostles’ Creed and Nicene Creed of Christianity into a science in Book I, Ch. 8 of his first book, On Learned Ignorance. With this conversion hee shatters all traditional notions of philosophy with his ontology of identity (of God) and ontology of difference. (of the universe). Since the science of ‘relations’ was unknown at Cusa’s time, I was able to determine how the ontology of identity and ontology of difference are united to form a single world that had no beginning and has no end.

Since science is saying that God created an endless world, life after death is certain. But, the life after death is a reincarnation process, not a life either in Heaven or Hell. Since the process of new life is still unknown and remain unknown forever, making planet earth beautiful everywhere for all Men must be a high priority for every nation.
