I, for one, do not want to see them inject christianity into it - they would do a liberalized version hack job of it. I don't need TV shows to help me along with my beliefs, I have a bible and church for that. TV should stay out of my religion because the people who write for TV would make a mess of it. Not to say I would not enjoy shows which had that element, but I don't trust those crack pots to do it right.

I would lean more towards supporting independent films which display my beliefs, even when not in 100% agreeance on interpretation. The left behind series, et al would be such examples (although I have not read those books I have read others from Christian authors which I would be interested in seeing in movie form).

Besides, by the time Star Trek would have occured the world would have ended anyway :)

Not necessarily, but ...

That's really the point, isn't it?

The most positive aspect (to me) of the original Star Trek was the Mr. Scott character. He was the supreme Engineer. No matter how desperate the circumstances, how little resources he had, he always managed to come up with a solution for the problem at hand. The answer to a technological problem is not to throw away the technology, the answer is to fix the technology or develop new technology. That's a message that needs to be a lot more widespread.

We used to teach that in schools, but not for a long time. The rejection of science and technology has had as devastating effect as liberalism on American society. We have twaddle (Global Warming, second hand smoke, etc.) enshrined as fact when it is nothing more than someone's overactive imagination. If Global Warming were real, the solution to it would be the colonization of space, not killing a billion or two people and going back to the stone age a la the Kyoto Protocol.
