Delusions of grandeur. Heck,we should have had colonies on the moon by now. The real challenge to humanity and it’s positive advancement is communism and all its forms. It’s a rot that needs to be stopped. The real paradise was the Garden of Eden and we screwed that up. Terraforming and interstellar travel sounds great but Christ will return before we even start on the first probe mission.
“The real paradise was the Garden of Eden and we screwed that up.”
BINGO. All the ills of man stem from pride. And the ultimate pride is, “I know how this ought to work, and I can fix everything.” Or, better translated - “I ought to be God.” Didn’t work out for Satan, and won’t work out for a global dictator, either.
