How about some thoughts?

On a more serious note...

"Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself." -A silent film actor whose works spoke volumes. Charlie Chaplain.

So I mentioned religion in the previous part. Whether religion exists and whether religion exists. What I was trying to get to was an idea me and my friend thought up. We thought it was silly of people to argue over the validity of specific beliefs. Debating what one belief teaches over what another belief teaches is pointless. You won't be solving any problems or finding any answers. The bigger question at hand, we agreed, was whether or not there was much of a difference between each and every method of explaining the natural world. What if every religion is more or less the same except with wildly different interpretations?

It's unrealistic for people to even dream of colonizing other planets. Take a vacation in the dry valleys of Antarctica first. If parts of our own planet are inhospitable, then space colonizing is well beyond our reach.

If someone offered you the world on a platter, would you accept it?

In any society, an individual knows what they need, but a population is oblivious and naive and can barely take care of itself. Like a child, a collective people needs an entity in charge to provide for it. Never needing to worry or even think; dumb and happy. Akin to a parent, the entity must be patient but also willing to correct and discipline when necessary. Do you suppose this is true? I don't know. I'm not a parent, everyone has their own needs, and this opinion means little to nothing to the four people that will read this.
