Non-Biblical Answers, please!

WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL EVENTUALLY HAPPEN TO MANKIND...I.E. DO YOU THINK THE EARTH WILL ALWAYS BE HERE WITH HUMAN INHABITANTS?

I am just wondering what you think....

So...how's everybody doing?

The earth will eventually be destroyed as the sun's energy is finite and must come to an end at some point.

Will we migrate to another planet before that happens? I sorta doubt it because...Space is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the street to the chemist, but that’s just peanuts to space.

By the time that happens. We as a people will become so advance we'll bee bar hopping on other planets.
My opinion i go two ways.
A major step in quantum physics finds out the secret to time travel( yes it is possible)
and begin traveling through black holes etc...
Currently overpopulation is already exhausting much of the supplies animal life needs to survive
Scientist predict that Mars was actually a water flowing country that was transformed into an arrakis like desert straight out of frank herbert's books.
this most likey will happen to earth and we'll move on to another planet within another solar system
you think this is science fiction?
i'm not playing...

I do think that whomever (or in your thinking perhaps whatever) caused this planet in this solar system to be inhabitable could also cause other habitats to be established.
The intellectual capacity of humans has barely been tapped (according to scientists)...They
say we are only using 1/10 of 1 % of the brain's capacity....and that's the smart people!

So...how's everybody doing?

without using the bible to answer this question.....


the only thing i can say is....

the world as we know it is slipping away faster than u can amagine.
rain forest are fading, the ocean and the air are becoming more and more polluted,
weather patterns are becoming more and more irratic.. There have been things done to this planet that can't be undone. natural resources are being depleted at a rate that nations are willing to kill and die to optain the "rights" to whats left.
humans as we know them to be now are fast becoming an IN DANGERED species.
we have cloning, genetic restructuring, viruses and other unnatural entites that are changing the structure of our existance.
and lets not forget about technology what that alone is doing is UNBELIEVable

if u look at the planet as if it were a human body you would see that Its in its final stages of "cancer"

and unless there is an "extratrestrial" injections this place is guarenteed to become a vast wasteland.

I HOPE 4 the best thought but I am PREPARED 4 the worst
how about U?

You know, that's one of the nicest posts I have read of yours....very interesting.
Thanks.
I totally agree.

So...how's everybody doing?

Interesting thread.

Without the Bible there are really no answers, certainly no hope.

Where are you going with this SensualMelody?

I see the faaar faaar future the same way as Teller (hi again SensualMelody & Teller!), and I'd like to add that time as well is extreeeeemely big.

And I'm not a pessimist. Everything must pass and make space for something different, even if that 'different' is an immense void with one atom every billion kilometres.

Hope isn't really about the future. It's a spirit that you carry with you in the present. Feelings/ideas/drive/energy about working ideals that make you do good things. Or something like that.

The good spirit is always hard to distinguish from ego...

Looks like me and SensualMelody are going to have to come online simultaneously to dispell such myths.

Heyeeeee, it's been a long time.
So nice to see you. Thanks for your input.

Hi LillianLaughs! Good to see your two pennies in here again.

Sure.

The sun will burn out in 6 billion years from now. So what. Earth will be long gone. We will have colonised Titan by then, and because if its distance from the new expanded sun, it will be nice for another billion years.

In the mean time, we'll invent solar system travel in minutes.

A Jehovah's Witness recently gave me some official stuff to read...one thing I noticed that impressed me was that they aren't allergic to science. If anything, they attribute miracles to the same universal laws that science adheres to. This really did get my attention--if science and religion are ever to unite, they must warm up to each other.

The bulk of civilization will destroy itself within the next 1000 years just because earth's resources will have been completely raped, but enough civilization will exist to survive and advance in science. The earth will one day come to an end by the sun, or a black hole, or any number of things, and human civilization will probably end at the same time. It's unlikely that we will ever travel throughout space to other inhabitable planets.

Case in point: We have yet to find one single hospitable planet in the universe, looking as far as scientists have been able to look. But, here is what scientists do know:

We cannot travel faster than the speed of light (debatable, but generally accepted)
The nearest star (the sun is not even considered a star) is light years upon light years away, and yet, it is estimated that there are more than 1X10^100 (that's a 1 with 100 zeroes behind it) stars in the universe. If you think of how long it would take to explore this area of space, never mind how long it would take to actual travel to any part of the universe, the odds are not good that it would turn out.

Maybe some crazy aliens will find us and take us somewhere safe, but I'd bet with the house on this one.

I would say before I became a Witness I figured man would destroy the planet but not in my lifetime. Man has damaged so much that it's hard to see them fixing what they have already done.

I don't think man has a fix. To many people do not care about the planet we live on. They spend so much money on space exploration but for some reason. Spending money on our planet doesn't seem to be on their priority list.

Maybe they know that there is no hope for earth and thus they spend this money for space so that those with money can find a place to survive since they figure that if it continues down the road it has been going, there will be no life on earth.

When I became a witness just like Melody. My views have changed but it's a very interesting to see what others have to say.
