Always coming soon, but never here and now

The aliens will reveal themselves - soon.
The world will end - soon.
The Messiah will be returning - soon.
The New Age of Spiriutal enlightenment is almost here.
A Free Energy breakthrough is just around the corner.
The Fountain of Youth is about to be announced.
And don't get me started on 2012...
In my lifetime I have heard a zillion magical claims. Doesn't matter how many times they fall flat, the claims just keep on truckin'. (just check M&P on any given day.)
When the fuck will I actually get to witness one?

We are witnessing the miraculous unfolding of the impossible in to the actual, right now.
We just can't see the forest for the trees sometimes.

Dude, it's only a matter of time before cyber-Hitler's reptilian saucer-armies emerge from the Stygian depths to usher in an era of peace, love, and freedom from the Jewish vermin!

History is just one accomplishment of the impossible after another. In these times, WE CAN FUCKING FLY.

Flying has been possible on Earth ever since atmospheric conditions allowed for it.
Animals started flying LONG before humans walked.
Since the dawn of humanity, flying was possible...
It just wasn't accomplished by humans until the last 250 years... first we flew baloons... then airplaines. And it only happened BECAUSE it was possible.
Space travel? ALSO possible.
I am looking for an example of something IMPOSSIBLE becoming actual.

Would you mind giving ONE example of the IMpossible becoming ACTual?
One example? How about the computer your using to access this website? How about the car you probably drive, fuck, the house you live in with your internet, cable, running water, air conditioning. At one point in time all of these things were deemed impossible, and im sure there was some whiny bitch like orgone complaining about it not happening while he was alive. There is no time but the here and now and with each moment brings an infinite number of possibilities. I cant prove that im right, but you cant prove that im wrong.
-------------------- Whether you believe you can or believe you cant, either way you're probably right.

They were possible BEFORE they were made... otherwise they wouldn't exist.
Try again...
Show me the IMpossible becoming ACTual.

Are you being serious? So if a bunch of cavemen are sitting around and one says hey i bet one day we'll come up with these little boxes that let us connect with everyone else in the world that has this little box. You dont think at that point in time that was considered impossible?? At one point sailing around the world was considered impossible b/c everyone thought the world was flat. And humans made that possible and it changed how everybody thought. How can you know that someday people wont be having discussions about the things they know or do, that we thought was impossible. NOBODY knows what we will eventually be able to figure out, could be nothing at all, could be everything. Fact remains that i cant prove whats right, and you cant prove what is wrong.

Ok, you can use that argument for any example i give you. Obviously they wouldnt exist unless it were possible for it to exist. What im saying is that before anyone had the mental capacity to split the atom that was considered impossible. Before we got evolved enough as a species, cloning a sheep was considered impossible. Going to the moon was considered impossible. None of these things seem impossible now b/c we already did these things. Humans going to the moon and humans figuring out a way to move things with their minds both start from the same spot... an idea.
