Within 20 years humans will form a sustainable, reproducing colony on Mars that will grow more prosperous with every year. We have the technology to do so and several colonies are already being planned RIGHT NOW (without tax money). Within 1-2 centuries, we will robotically terraform the entire planet and seed it with life.
I don't believe ANY word written on paper by man is indisputable truth. Even if God truly “spoke” to those men thousands of years ago it is still only words on paper written by men. We should not give up and doom humanity on this planet because of that. That would be a self-fulfiling prophecy.
The next step for Man is the same as it was 40 years ago- build an underground ‘greenhouse’ on the Moon and expand it.
Without that step nothing else has a purpose, as we’ve seen for the last 40 years.
I was cool with paragraph one and two of what you wrote, then you went a little off your rocker in paragraph three.
