www.bbc.co.uk More about this episode: www.bbc.co.uk Great minds don’t think alike. In fact, offbeat thinking has led to some of the greatest scientific discoveries of our age. In the second of a three-part series uncovering the minds behind some of the greatest scientific discoveries of our age, James Lovelock explains how his maverick way of thinking led him not only to technical breakthroughs in atmospheric detection systems on Earth and Mars, but also to Gaia Theory – a new way of thinking about the Earth as a holistic, self-regulating system. He tells of his struggle against the scientific consensus of the day, the ridicule of his peers and his passionate belief that the mainstream scientific establishment stifles intellectual creativity.

What would make the perfect alternative for God that is compatible with atheists?

I have a feeling that even if God was dethroned by science, humans would inevitably seek something else like God to cling onto in order to fulfil a need for a spiritual grounding. I have three alternatives, none of which are meant to taken as gods that you worship since they don’t ask for worship anyway. None of these suggestions are faith-based
1. My personal belief that Mankind is already the gods. This is to say that Mankind is so sentient that there is an innate godlike potential. Three words: mind, willpower and action. If you take the ancient astronaut theory into account, technically I’m right. Other than that, I don’t need to tell you much else about seeing as I’ve talked a lot about it before. However this concept also focuses on the self-empowerment of Man.
2. The planet, or life-bearing planets, as god-like entities. Much like the Gaia hypothesis proposed by James Lovelock, life-bearing planets are technically gods, earth mothers or genderless entities that act automatically in support of itself, and consequentially any life on said planet. This involves balancing things out on a planet.
3. Existence as an omnipresent entity. Christians say God is eternal. Aristotle said the cosmos is eternal. Nothing really lasts forever, except existence. Existence is before and after the moment our universe got created. Existence is good and it is bad. It’s live life to the full as well as pick your poison. The Hindus believe in something like God called Brahman, which is basically an omnipresent spiritual entity. Based on both logics, maybe existence itself is a god-like presence that does not save nor condemn, intervenes nor stands back and does not require worship.
If you have other suggestions please do not hesitate to speak out.
@Screenager So are you saying that religion comes from a desire for hope and escape, but at the same time it’s the result of human arrogance?

Continued discussion on Gaia Theory and it’s relevance for today, as we increasingly emerge into a planetary civilization. Science as a narrative that cannot be separated from the observer, the observer as a subjective interpreter, often influenced by unconscious themes.

My famelab 09 entry. Based on the writings of James Lovelock I explain how the presence of methane and oxygen in our atmosphere shows that there is life on Earth and how this life does not exist on Mars.

Finally, the global warming/climate change hysteria is fading out. patrupedbun.net The progressives will be busy making out a new doom and gloom theory from which just they can save us, but at least this one is coming to an end. I became bored to death of it.
