Only for the present. But with continuous evolution, who knows? :D


The only limitations GR are the ones that OUR universe holds......If the physics of our universe allows it then there is a probability of us discovering it is great...

Just imagine what society will be like in another 100 years considering the current rate of change in science and technology, which will only accelerate even further.

The 20th century was remarkable when you compare it to the previous 2,000 years, so just imaging what is in stall for us in the 21st century and even the 22nd century..... 8)

And with further evolution, we won't need Gods because by that time, humans will be capable of just about anything. :lol:

Zanny, Our universe holds a huge array of conditions for a huge array of living things… most of which are not suitable for Man. We can’t even exist on our closest planet let alone anywhere else…

Paphitis, for as long as we stick to OUR planet and the vicinity, the going is easy and attainable…

Isn't that what I said in the first place. :? The fact that when there were trees that were hundreds of feet high in abundance then giant creatures walked the earth.....A gluttony of life. Then when something happened so that these giants mainly disappeared then so did the giant creatures....It is all relevant.


.....The difference is that we can create artificial ways of surviving......To that planets limitations that is.....

I suspect that the rest of the universe is well aware of our foolhardy ambitions and they refer to it as the amoeba revolution! Image

It's not an ambition but an unstoppable consequence of a few purine and pyrimidine molecules getting together ... :wink:

Stop playing games.

Your Pantheism dictates that you believe that nature and the universe are merely synonymous with God, and that in reality you DO NOT believe in an omnipotent supreme being...

Consider yourself exposed.....Image

I wish I could offer you a spaceship that could attain the speed of light just so you’d see how futile it all is… you’d die of old age before you reach the next solar system, let alone galaxy! :lol:

Speed travel across the universe will also be possible in the future.... :lol:

It's over dude....your Pantheism is an admission that there is no supreme being.... :wink:
