The Internet: Where Religions Come To Die
“Philosopher Daniel Denett believes that within 25 years religion will command little of the awe it seems to instil today.
The spread of information through the internet and mobile phones will “gently, irresistibly, undermine the mindsets requisite for religious fanaticism and intolerance”.
Biologist Richard Dawkins said that physicists would give religion another problem: a theory of everything that would complete Albert Einstein’s dream of unifying the fundamental laws of physics.
“This final scientific enlightenment will deal an overdue death blow to religion and other juvenile superstitions.”
Part of that final theory will be formulated by scientists working on the Large Hadron Collider, a particle accelerator at Cern in Geneva, which is to be switched on this year (2007).
It will smash protons together to help scientists understand what makes up the most fundamental bits of the universe.”
