God was used to explain the unexplainable but now we understand some of the unexplainable. We no longer need God like our ancesters. All we need is hope...
Human nature is destruction and the only thing that we should hope for is that we do not destroy the beautiful planet on which we live. We do not deserve the gifts we have but maybe one day we will be truely gateful for them...
> Well, all religions are false.
Amen. Religion is man's opinion of what God is and wants. It's man's way of justifying himself before God.
Romans 3:3-4: "For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, and every man a liar;..."

Wrong people used it to control. Unless they repented of their sins, they did not enter into heaven.

Death can be man's enemy. The Bible declares that the last enemy to be destroyed will be death. Understanding death? Easy. Death came into the world by man's sin (Adam's) in the garden of Eden. God said if they ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they would surely die. He meant spiritual separation from Him and a physical death, too.

There is so much that we don't know. "For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." (1 Corinthians 13:12) Paul is talking here about when we get to heaven. Only God knows everything.
There is no hope without God. The Psalmist said, "my hope is in thee." (Psalm 39:7) and "For thou art my hope, O Lord god: thou art my trust from my youth." (Psalm 71:5)

I trust and hope in God. You may believe what you will. I'll pray that you see that there is a great need for God today and that you'll turn to Him in repentance. This beautiful planet will one day be destroyed by fire in order to make way for a new heaven and a new earth where there will be no more death, sin, or sorrow. Only God makes that promise. "Behold, I make all things new." (Revelation 21:5). You're right. we do need to be grateful for what we have. "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Chrsit Jesus concerning you." (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

Is it?
That's nice.
It's a physical change, not a mental one.
And, on that note, we're never going to evolve past this stage - because the environment no longer controls us, so we'll never have to adapt. And the weak are no longer left to die.
And the environment no longer controls us - we control it, technology has allowed us to adapt any changes to us, rather than the other way around. And technology is faster, by millions of years, than evolution.
Therefore, we will not evolve past this stage.
Simple, non?
And yes, in around 5 billion years (this is going by memory now, so the time could be wrong) the sun will go nova, changing into a new state due to the hydrogen being burnt up, and the wave of energy will likely cause damage or destruction to all, or atleast some, of the planets in our solar system.
And thus, God's heaven in the sky will be fried.
