My Geology teacher told me that the earth formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago. According to Bishop Usher the earth was created at about teatime on 22nd October, 4004 BC. I wonder which is closer to the truth ?
Like any other species, the future of humanity is extinction.
Robert Wright is 9:37 legit. He’s intellectually honest, I don’t agree with him on all but he’s a funny dude 😂

Second Attempt: Self-aware humans represent an outsider critique of Darwinian evolution. We can operate contrary to the edicts of biological evolution and even judge it on its own merits. We can declare it as unnecessarily brutal. Our subjective opinions about the brutality of nature is new information that "Existence" can use when scripting the next stage of evolution.
In fairness, "Existence" didn't realize that its standard "predator vs prey" evolutionary template could be viewed as "wrong" or "shortsighted." Existence was only using the same "action vs reaction" template it had been using all along with inanimate matter.
… After all, why should "living matter" be treated any differently?
However, after 300K years, humans now choosing NOT to kiII other animals to survive (and even rescuing them for their natural fates) sends a strong message to "Existence" that it really needs to start reevaluating its template.
… This is also why "Existence" requires outside observers. … Outside observers help to keep "Existence" moving in the right direction!

What are relations? As the form of questions asked, determine the direction in which answers are sought out, too, relations have a similar effect, but not without its counterintuitive aspect, that being bias and partiality thus opaque vision. In a disciplined manner, however, having a more mutual and reverential relationship with or to something, certain layers will be revealed that normally wouldn't be. This is evidently clear: the best of sports athletes reach finer and higher levels in their activity because of a manic love and passion. And what this means: when a scientist loves, truly, that which is and has activity in, transforms into a Philosopher, mystic, theologian. Why persons can not acknowledge the lifestyle that is Philosophy: because they haven't an intimate mutual & reveerential love and longing for. This hankering, desire, longing, modifies the questions asked, thus deeper levels of realizations are in effect.
Persons want to reify themselves, believing everything is matter, that there is not immaterial or soul. These – they're bereft; they haven't found themselves as of yet. The mind is a cocoon; the outer shell of a seed that must be broken out of for real progress to develop and unfold.
Just talk anything….
There are many mysteries about the future. Could humans and living creatures now on Earth be the last batch produced by the black ball in the center of Earth?If not, how long will it be before the next crustmotion-glacier cycle that wipe out all life on Earth occurs? (The clouds will cover the Earth for more than 100 years, with more carbon dioxide in the air than oxygen.)🌎🌍🌋🌨⛄
Will the next batch of creatures produced by the black ball include new humans?(Taller than Homo erectus, Neanderthals, humans.)🧚♀ Or will the next batch be something like the Cambrian or Jurassic?🦖
If the next cataclysm happens 20,000 years from now, will it be possible for humans to establish settlements on Mars before the cataclysm?🪐
If humanity lasts another 20,000 years, will humans need to repair genes? (Otherwise, the accumulated mutations would produce more blind, deaf, disabled, etc.)🧬
If the black ball at the center of the Earth produces taller new humans next time, will the old humans who settled on Mars return to Earth to help the new humans build civilization in a shorter time?🛸
Globalists strike again 😣
Interesting conversation.
"Some people argue that consciousness does not exist".
It's a made up term, general, relative, open to interpretation, often confused with other meanings, not having an exact translation, or not even used like that in other languages. other cultures mean different things, etc. etc.
Do darkness, lightness, heaviness, coldness, hotness, highness, lowness, sadness, happiness, longness, shortness, …unconsciouness exist?
Well of course all of the above exist, as meanings inside a human brain and as such can only be used in context. Trying to explain any of those out of context is rather silly.
"Evolution and the Future of Humanity"
The future of humanity would be dark, possibly extinction… Here is why, as follows :
…because the theory of evolution promotes the idea of ACCIDENTAL EXISTENCE which means you are never at fault, never accountable for whatever you are, or whatever you do, as all just consequences of ACCIDENT…
…in other words, if you are strong and powerful, there is nothing that can hold you to use your power to do whatever your heart desires regardless who gets hurt because, to you, doing right or wrong, moral or immoral, is just pure SUPERSTITION being just a product of ACCIDENTAL Evolution garbage….
..and so, a Godless World would become the arena of battles between the strong and the powerful where wars never end until we all go extinct…
Science and technology, without the guidance of faith that we are all children of a loving God, can be just a tool for greedy demonic souls to get all what they desires that may lead to DOOMSDAY….
..and the more this WORLD abandons faith in God in favor of Darwin's IGUANA as the Original Mama, the closer the minute-hand reaches at midnight of Armageddon…
You now can see the arguments in uk,usa against anthromorphized astronomy and geology with mechanized biology while knowing we will one day build out agency in computation that can copy what the soft paganism greater would wanted . Essentially what we funded the most money in history that even Babylonian evolutionary or plato moral couldn't predict with or it wouldve . It doesn't matter if is essence of natural selection. If it's pagan spirit or evolution it helped ancient world name & order but Is wrong and nature tells us it's 1st position orientation and direction.
Idk about global community when we have less reason to travel and more cause in local ai safety grid owners and operators of infrastructure with mass logistics being able to live and operate in a more spread out medium density better quality of life as large gathering labor condensed living urbanization stripping stone anomalous times.
It is sheer absurdity to waste time, efforts and funds attempting to analyze nature to find out whether it has a purpose, instead of designing the purpose (PRACTICAL SATISFACTION OF THE NEEDS OF ALL BEINGS) we want nature to follow and then analyze phenomena SELECTIVELY for the sole purpose of implementing the laws we already formulated for nature to enforce.
Although "observer dependence" of results of experiments in QM clearly indicates there are NO LAWS OF NATURE to be discovered, but we are free to chose the laws we want nature to follow and look for ways to implement them, yet scientists still strive to DISCOVER at least probabilistic "laws of nature", is similar to some slaves choosing to serve the former masters even after they were declared free, because they had no idea how to survive on their own.
Great point about going towards being a global community. We will get there. It is the only road to peace.
