“Scientists of the 22nd Century will wonder what in the hell were these people thinking?.................”
You have confidence that the world will make it to the 22nd century? I wish I did. Giving these mad scientist wannabe-god maniacs another 77 years to tinker with mother nature... I don’t see how planet earth could last that long with a live, human population. Oh sure, the planet would survive. We would not. Which is exactly what these demonic entities want. It’s their version of an “eff yew” to God. I think God has other plans. As for what they’re thinking... they’re thinking that they ARE God.
Don’t forget that man will come extremely close to exterminating ALL life on the planet..................
