And when do you think this will start to happen because it aint so far?
Sure we have really cool phones that can do almost anything we can think of, awesome SUV's that can do almost 200 MPH and carry all the kids and even the family dog.
Fighter jets that can blow a town off the map all by it's self or even better an aircraft carrier that could d ll this stuff out and make this planet a decent place to live??????????????
NEVER.......
I didn't say it WOULD happen; I would say we SHOULD make it happen.
Of course, if anyone IS waiting for a god to sort out the mess, it might help if they stopped waiting and started thinking about actually doing something.
“...Sure we have really cool phones that can do almost anything we can think of, awesome SUV's that can do almost 200 MPH and carry all the kids and even the family dog. ..."
what would make you think I would be impressed by such things or value such things? -I am not and didn’t imply otherwise.
-and I do not have a mobile phone nor a SUV and never had either.
"...Fighter jets that can blow a town off the map all by it's self or even better an aircraft carrier that could destroy whole countries. Wow!!!!...."
-and I fear that some crazed religious nut might one day make that happen.
If everyone was rational then that would never happen -but there are an awful lot of dangerously delusional people out there.
"...We are about to run out of antibiotics that will fight even the simpliest of the flu viruses...."
antibiotics do not work against viruses including the flu virus and has never been used against the flu virus so we are not
"about to run out of antibiotics that will fight even the simpliest of the flu viruses" as you said because we never had such antibiotics that fight "even the simpliest of the flu viruses".
Antibiotics only work against BACTERIA and not viruses. You are probably misremembering stuff about antibiotic resistant bacteria which is a real problem and can only be solved by a mixture of avoiding unwise usage of antibiotics and science coming up with alternatives to antibiotics such as phage medicine:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriophage
"...They have been used for over 90 years as an alternative to antibiotics in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe as well as in France.[4] They are seen as a possible therapy against multi-drug-resistant strains of many bacteria....."
again, I would not say it WILL happen, I would only say we SHOULD make it happen.
