Tract 9: A God of the Gaps Is a God of Ignorance
Uncovering the Hidden Technological Messages in the Bible In this deeply thought-provoking episode, we dive into one of our most controversial track series yet, exploring the intersections of religious beliefs, modern science, and physics. We challenge traditional interpretations of the afterlife as presented in the Bible and propose a compelling re-interpretation aligned with a scientific understanding of reality. We delve into various biblical texts, discussing concepts such as soul, heaven, and hell, and how they may actually describe a future technological scenario where humanity's consciousness is preserved and raised. We address the paradigm shifts this interpretation brings, consider the implications for the problem of suffering, and explore how these ideas harmonize with scientific principles. This episode promises to be a paradigm shift, offering a fresh perspective on how religion can relate to science, and how the Bible may have predicted advanced technological concepts thousands of years ago.
Note: First we have a transcript made by notepad (to hopefully be more accurate) then the original write up (which was changed significantly in the reading). Some day I will create a master version of all these but as you see with this one I am already updating significant past beliefs. If you are looking for specific ancient Hebrew or Greek words I mispronounced go there.
Hello, it's Simone. Today is going to be one of our controversial track series where we talk about our religious beliefs. If you're new to the channel, that's why the gear was read this time. It is warning you this is going to be extremely controversial interpretations, maybe the most controversial of all of the track series we have done. Anything you want to say that we would add on to the beginning of this now that you've seen the whole thing?
Yeah, having having spent the vast majority of my life thinking the concept of an afterlife was both ridiculous and impractical, also not very plausible based on all the descriptions of it, you've just presented to me something that actually seems compelling, but also based in our current understanding of of physics and science. Definitely a paradigm shift for me. So, I'm glad you just a paradigm shift for me as well. And that's why I made it so long to make sure I left no argument untouched.
Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, who knows, right? Our whole thing is if we're wrong, we want someone to be right. And that's why we're glad so many people disagree with us. But I think you're really on to something here. And I have fewer qualms with your arguments than I do with the typical arguments of most other religious traditions. Well, all other religious traditions that I've been introduced to and I've read about. these texts I've reviewed. So,
well, we'll see. Is this going to be my Rubyard take, Simone? My 10-hour video.
I mean, everyone has a moment
because in this one, we are going to go over what the I believe the Bible says happens to people after they die. What the Bible says about the human soul. And in both of these cases, it is not what the mainstream Christians would argue, which I think comes down from beliefs around like Allesium and and is much closer to Greek conceptions of what happens after death than original Christians or I think correct Christian conceptions or Jewish conceptions where the modern Christians believe that like you immediately go to heaven when you die which is a supernatural plane which actually creates a bunch of logical problems for other lines in the text and people can be like no that definitely happens there's definitely a heaven or hell like doesn't the Bible talk about like Gehenna and it's like well gehenna was a place like we know where it was and the way it's described in the Bible makes it pretty clear in those passages it is talking about a place or doesn't the Bible talk about humans having spirits or souls and I'm like actually if you
