What of Perfection? Does the word 'Perfection' allow for that which does not last, that which runs its cycle and then dies? Of course, anything in creation, which is everything we know, soon becomes old and outdated. Out-datedness is when the state of perfection fails, when the state of Perfection becomes elusive, when the action of power no longer saves from death. Out-datedness is when the state of Perfection fails and must be reinvented and then, repeated as often as necessary. What fails to achieve Perfection becomes old and outdated, thus it must be destroyed to make room for the 'new' and up-dated, the reinvented. The process must destroy to make room for the 'new', the 'up-dated', the reinvented. The process of removing failed Perfection results in death---death to that which has failed---to the old and out-dated. Failed Perfection must be removed, must be banished as if it never existed, this process of removal is death. Failed Perfection thereby creates death. Death calls forth the need to recreate and then repeat itself, over and over again. The cycle begins again, death to life, death to life. With birth, the old and out-dated is replaced by the new. Science's plan is to replace the old with new and improved models and techniques until death is eventually defeated.Thus results the false idea of humanity approaching super status and near states of Perfection all the way to total Perfection The process of birth to death to birth and,again, to death, repeats itself over and over again through all the phases of Time.

Indeed, it is this process of life to death that called forth and created one of the elements of creation, Time. Thus the patterns of Time are established as nature repeats itself over and over again trying once more to get it right, trying once more to achieve Perfection, trying once more to become God. These are the patterns that create life's cycles. These cycles become the history of creation. Is this the Perfection that religion and science strive for? Religion has this trait of believing it has achieved Perfection covered by its Faith in the Perfection of its God and hence Perfection of itself in its God's Name. Science will have a problem with Perfection as science is dealing with the human Intellect in a human body and mind unless science is able to raise itself to deification. Of course, this is why science must set as its first and true goal-- the discovery or the creation of eternal life. Extending life alone, however, would not qualify science for deification. Deification would demand that science ultimately would conquer death.
