Well I think we are the first species not only capable of understanding that extinction is the rule but also the first species capable of saving itself.
AND we have reached that level in a very short period... many creatures inhabited this place for periods far greater than our short time... many creatures exist that have passed their genes onwards for millions of years ...yet none of them can think about this new alternative to survival and gene passing.
I would rather money be spent on a fleet of battle stars before..porn, gambling, and tv soapies.. I wont even complete the list of lesser pursuits for humans.
I often look at the biblical prophesy and wonder if leaving the planet was not what was really being hinted at... well of course it is... its in the book so lets not leave it all to God .. we are capable so why do we wait for his intervention to fulfill such a prophesy.
Infinity is an interesting concept... and a branch of maths apparently that sees many going nutts... well that was on the radio so it must be true.
Thank you John for your profound observations and insite.
