Well we are the only life form that we know of that is intelligent enough for these kinds of things

I’m sorry, sir, but you could not be any more wrong about this. Human beings are barely a blip on the galactic radar - to say nothing about the entire cosmos. We are quite ineffective actually, and there is considerable evidence that we might actually be little more than a slave race created on this planet at the behest of a greater, far more evolutionarily advanced species. And hell, even if I myself am mistaken about this (which I do not feel I am as, again, there is actually a lot of evidence pointing to the very thing of which I speak), and human beings are indeed a “one off” species that is “unique in the universe!” and there is “no other species like us!”, then even under those extremely unlikely circumstances, one could still not say that human beings are the only species capable of very complicated thought. Cetaceans have been shown to be just as if not more intelligent than humans in many ways - and that’s just on this planet alone, to say nothing about all the other countless quadrillions of planets in the known universe.

though it is arguable animals might have some certain kind of faith.

1) Humans are animals.

2) We wouldn’t know this one way or the other, as our minds aren’t advanced and evolved enough to discern what other forms of life are definitively thinking. As such, humans thinking that they are the “only” or “most” intelligent species on the planet is, more than anything, a testament to homocentric, anthropomorphic ignorance more than anything else.

If I recall correctly it is mostly established in the science community that we are pretty special.

What is called science on this planet seems in reality to be little more than a system of manipulation designed to keep humanity encased in a cocoon of almost complete and utter ignorance with regard to what really exists even on this planet alone. It is a system that is kept alive and afloat by the great and unfortunate amount of hubris that is indoctrinated into the human mind.

It seems you want to know God on a scientific basis because people know God on a spiritual level (I don't mean relationship)

Because people know God on a spiritual level? What? I don’t actually understand this statement. I want to know God “scientifically” BECAUSE people know God spiritually? Sorry, but that is whooshing right over my head big time. I don’t understand it.

I want to know and imbue and exists as one with Cosmic Consciousness - as one with (and as) God Itself. I don’t want to “know” God. I want to be one with and as God. This is something that exists independent of faith or science or religion or spirituality. Science, spirituality, religion, etc, etc, are all qualifiers. They’re all labels that we humans put on things mostly because we don’t fully understand the thing in question - i.e. based on our ignorance. Once you really understand the thing in question, you will realize that all is one. Science (real science, mind you - not the corporate-controlled $cience that runs this planet today) is in fact one with true spirituality. They are both different sides of the same coin - the same dynamic.

Science is the ant on the elephant’s tusk claiming that God is ivory white bone. Religion is the ant on the elephant’s trunk saying God is grey, wrinkly skin.

They’re both right, and both wrong. They both have a piece of the puzzle…but the puzzle itself is greater and grander than either of them realize or understand.

God is much bigger than religion or science both.

We shall believe it only when we can do the same ourselves

Well that's just a cynical mentality...

Really? What do you think is the better proposition? to bow your head and genuflect before something you don’t even understand and just accept it blindly on “faith”? This reminds me of a comic strip I saw many years ago of slugs genuflecting in adoration before a salt shaker.

There’s nothing cynical about wanting to understand a thing independent of “belief”.

Mystery-mongering and superstition are always signs of weakness

Weakness? I think ignorance

I fully agree with that. Mystery mongering and superstition are signs of weakness and ignorance. Yes.
