I seriously doubt that the irradication of religion will happen no matter how advanced we become, nor do I feel that religion should be irradicated.

Ya, cold fusion. All molecules contain massive amounts of energy, so once we get that, we're set. But which do you seriously think will be figured out first? You spread your research hoping at least one turns out.

It's already been figured out. Nobody wants to accept it because it defies the laws of physics, but it's a very interesting concept.

Damn J why you gotta be all positive and shit Raining on my pissed off parade.
Although the "conquest" of space is exactly what I have a problem with. We should be exploring and observing... only at our current state.. I have a feeling we would be trying to do more conquering and raping. Also, the owning of property has to go out the window. No one owns Earth. We make these imaginary lines, and say I own this land! But you don't own that shit, it owns you. If it wasn't there.. you wouldn't exist. This whole "conquer nature" mentality is the exact problem. We'd probably get to Mars and be like.. Property of the US government! And then make a missile silo or some stupid shit like that.
Point being.. our problems aren't going to disappear once we explore space more. They will follow. I think space exploration is uber important for the continued evolution of any sentient civilization, but not when they are a bunch of flaming, power-hungry idiots with their head up their ass. And I sincerely question their intentions on going to Mars. What's the point? So we can build a base to escape to when we completely fuck the Earth up? Wouldn't last long.
Ferris.. no I don't think human civilization was meant to be in numbers of 6 billion+ on such a small planet.

Yes.. a religion celebrating humanity and diversity. The one religion everyone can relate to, and interpret and practice in their own way.

think of it this way: most of space is dead, and we are conquering it with life. There is no 'nature' in space. We would be bringing it there, expanding the natural world, and offering new avenues of evolution for existing life. Can you imagine being born and living most of your life in a low-G environment? Imagine the sociological effects of an environment where there was no solid definition of the words 'up' and 'down'. Enlightenment is in the heavens, my friend.

I think our problems will follow us wherever we go. The point is:

who cares about their intentions? By the time the job is done, they will be dead.
