Philosophical phidgeting

2. So you're saying humans can't be better than they are

or that religion without belief is not religion? I undertand there were periods of time where few actually believed in the ancient pagan religions in Greece and Rome yet they created some pretty amazing things in the name of their religion. Are flying squirrels not really squirrels? Are flightless birds not really birds? Maybe since humans have invented ways to fly, we aren't humans anymore. No, I think we are still human and are capable of expanding on our basic model, and the modes by which we think, dream and create. We're also capable of change and maybe that's the better route. The question is, are we capable of maintaining imaginations without becoming mystical about the unknown.
