You seem to think Man has reached some static end-product! :?

Gawd are your really so .... so .... Choirokitian! :roll:

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:

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:



No you wouldn't.........At the speed of light you would hardly age at all.... 8)

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:

The universe IS the supreme being… our father and mother! He gives life and takes life as he sees fit… I’m just so glad he doesn’t look like Casper! :lol:

I am well aware of the infinitesimally large size of the universe and consequently the infinitesimal possibilities for an infinitesimally evolving creature like Man (from amoeba to ape) ... something only you seem unable to grasp with your short-termist parochial display...

It's not about just one generation! :roll:

People need to change their perspective of our relationship with Earth....They seem to think that we "Arrived" on the planet instead of coming out from it's soil. We need it's minerals and air.....We are it's minerals and air.

Pantheism (Greek: πάν (pan) = all and θεός (theos) = God, literally "God is all" -ism) is the view that everything is part of an all-encompassing immanent God. In pantheism, the Universe (Nature) and God are considered equivalent and synonymous. More detailed definitions tend to emphasize the idea that God is better understood as an abstract principle representing natural law, existence, and the Universe (the sum total of all that was, is and shall be), rather than as an anthropomorphic entity. With some exceptions, pantheism is non-theistic, but it is not atheistic[1]. See also Integrational polytheism,

Ergo, GOD does not exist! :lol:

Whatever gave you that idea? :?

Our very planet will die just as soon as our sun burns out and you're talking about infinite things of humans? :?

That's our very problem my dear, on the universe’s scale we're so finite that I don't know why we even bother... :lol:

Actually, I can think of ONE infinite human property... our stupidity!

There we excel… 8)
