Mankind has always believed that as science progresses, historical perspectives and concepts of GOD changes.
The futuristic views portrayed by Star Wars and Star Trek all preclude the existence of GOD. Preferring instead to place deep emphasis on technology and reality of ideas that have yet to exist in the 21st century. The assumption is that living beings will evolve and ‘improve’ (that is, become stronger, cleverer and wiser) over time, with a huge sense of the galaxy and unity for peace and harmony.
It is mankind’s (or beingkind's) idea of utopia without the need to acknowledge the tricky concept of a creator GOD. Indeed, any idea of a ‘god’ is explained away by the concept of a ‘force’. Sometimes this force is neutral, sometimes it can be two opposing forces (or dark and non-dark). This force is never attributed to any entity nor seen as ‘good’ or ‘bad’; although the associated influences of the respective dark or non-dark seemed to imply that dark is evil, non-dark is benevolent.
