On the Divine and the Humane in Modern Context

Ever since the dawn of humanity and civilization, the question of divinity has been a major power of thought, conflict and inspiration for cultures, individuals, religions, and countries. In modern times, the term of God has been structured in terms of either religion, or conservative viewpoints that in many ways, are no longer relevant to the world of science and knowledge discovered throughout the years of modern history. Along with scientific and technological developments that improve and reconstruct humanity, a question arises: where are we all heading? To be more precise, we wish to reveal what is the ultimate goal of mankind. Solutions that were once given by religions of all sorts, are now a matter of technicality. As longevity, physical and mental wellness, communication, human knowledge of the universe all become more and more advanced, omnipotence of the human race as a whole is no longer a belief, but a goal, that gets closer as time advances. This paper aims to investigate these purposes and goals of humanity in light of our current state and knowledge, and what challenges we have left to complete our journey in time.
