Alternately, they may find the only practical way to do interstellar travel is to have frozen embryo's at say LN2 temps and the journey may take 10,000 years but science enables the ship and everything in it to have a lifespan ten times that if needed, so at journey's end, the embryo's are warmed up and put in an incubator and babies are 'born', raised at f ...[text shortened]... ng the infrastructure for adults who would live in whatever they designed when the kids grow up.
Why don't we save time and just create self-replicating and self-correcting and self-repairing robots and send them out to colonize the stars in our "glorious" name?
Both scenarios lack love. What the hell is the point?
Btw, I'm with the others, man is not going to go extinct.

1) Species do not "go" extinct they "become" extinct - sorry this is one of those ticks where I get all pedantic about language. Pudgenik got it right, why can't everyone else?
2) As I get it (and I'm an agnostic) at the end of time we face the final judgement and those of us who pass the test become one with God. So the End of the World represents perfection, when God's children return to him (her).

Screen out the stupid people with an IQ test. Make up some bull$h!t statement that everyone on board the space ship will have to help fly the thing from time to time and so only the clever will be allowed on. Then fly away, safe in the knowledge that the only damage the fundies can do with their guns, knives, stakes, torches, nukes, etc... is to themselves ... on EARTH. 🙂
To my understanding, it takes about 6 months after you are infected to know whether or not you have the aids virus.
In this same concept, how long does it take for a "normal" person to become a whack job. R.J. any thoughts, please!!

Originally posted by sonhouseYea, the J. W.'s will have a field day.
Genetic analysis proves the human race almost DID go extinct about 180 thousand years ago, our genetic diversity is small compared to other great apes and mammals.
That analysis suggests the human race was down to maybe 20 people at one point in time. The older race, Neanderthals, DID go extinct and there is no reason to think we can't follow in their foo ...[text shortened]... rstellar travel as far away from Earth as possible.
Stay on Earth, extinction is inevitable.

Originally posted by sonhouseI know i said this somewhere else, resently. It has been proven that the flood of Noah's day was regional. Primarily between the Black Sea and Med. Sea.
Genetic diversity studies totally falsifies that myth. The low diversity happened WAY before your time frame, almost 200,000 years ago. Don't care much if you believe it or not.

I believe it included most of Turkey etc. It was certainly a large area, but didn't cover the whole earth.
I believe the ship was found in two sections on Mt. Arat. (this was back in the sixties)

You guys have to deal with teenagers too. R.J. is like a spiritual teen. Always right, everyone else is wrong. R.J. I don't care how old you are physically.
