Unfortunately you are right. Hopefully though, we will discover how to extend our lifes to be extremely long before that happens, thus defeating the self-defeating nature of science.

No, really... in the 70's, when Sagan recorded that, we did long for the future when we would be wearing silvery suits and driving cars from the Jetsons cars. Now it's pretty clear that speeding progress will only get our infertility rate higher and speed our takeover by Islam. Ironical isn't it? Science is self defeating.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Exactly, let's also thank religion for the machine gun, the dynamite, the atom bomb, the demographic explosion and all the enlightenment these tools of love brought us, releasing us from the darkness of the times of castles, knights, princesses and merry villages.

Eikinkloster: Lets take a moment to thank religion then for killing people and plunging us into thousand years darkness.

"Just imagine how far the human race would have gone if it weren't for this 1000 years of darkness"
I imagine we would have reached a population of 12 billion people by the year 900 AD, started eating human flesh by 1000 AD and nuke ourselves into the Milky Way by 1100 AD. After all, science can only bring happiness.

a brilliant mind decades ahead of his time which sadly left us too early.

I think there is certainly some hope there, and they will become more liberal, but I have some concerns about China. They didn't learn the same lessons about racism and prejudice that Western society did, and that's going to lead to trouble. Hopefully West and East can learn from each other.

I sinserely hope that China will be the salvation of the world. Chinese value science and education and although they are pretty superstitions they are not very religious. Hopefully as they become richer and more powerful they will also become more liberal.
