Super intelligent beings.

[Looking Up]

Introductory sections of many Meteorology texts will

briefly note that explaining meteorological phenomena by appeal to

gods, angles, or spirits had to be given up before a science of meteorology

could develop. Alternately, it is said that using supernatural

(intelligent superhuman agency) to explain occurrences necessarily

leads to the death of science. Are these claims accurate? Can one have a

science that nonetheless allows for the activity of intelligent

superhuman beings? Explain why or why not.

 

[bgruagach]

Science doesn't claim that there are no entities that are more intelligent than humans. It just shows that things like the weather are perfectly natural processes that happen all on their own, independent of any need for intelligent direction.

There might very well be creatures that have intelligence much greater than humans have achieved. Some of these creatures might even live here on Earth alongside us (whales, etc.) The fact that we haven't noticed them or come into contact with them yet in a conclusive way is more a testament to our own limitations rather than proof that we are the only intelligent species.

I believe it is possible that we have lost our ability to fly. I wonder if science would care to explain this--probably not. I doubt that most religions would, either.

Still...I believe....
