Ah well... so much for the singularity.

The rapture is #1 with a bullet.(no pun intended) I guess it was naive to think that humans could hold so much technological power and not destroy ourselves. I hope that the bees have better luck. Per haps radiation poisoning will be folded into their evolutionary make up. That is friggin' awesome! Irradiated bee-people from the future. I just realized if the rapture does occur that will put the whole evolution question to rest anyway. O.K. scratch that. scratch the bee-people.

So what will happen to us heathens? Wander the post apocalyptic landscape cannibalizing each other until we finally submit to starvation? Then I guess we'll all go to hell.

3. No, just speculating about the future of Earth.

When humans are no longer on it. Probably be real peaceful. Tryin' to figure out how I can get raptured up with all the 'saved' people. Maybe I could get a fake ID.

7. Sadly...

There is no Rapture and no God. Your future and mine is as food for worms and fungi. It was ever thus.

10. I wish that wasn't true...

But I have the brains to know it is. Religion = fear of death. Nothing more.

8. for comfort, read Olaf Stapledon's "Last and First Men"

"Last and First Men is a science fiction novel (or, rather, fictional history), written in 1930 by the British author Olaf Stapledon. A work of unprecedented scale, it describes the history of humanity from the present onwards across two billion years and eighteen distinct human species, of which our own is the first and most primitive. The story follows a repetitive cycle, with many different civilizations rising from and descending back into savagery, but it is also one of progress, as the later civilizations rise to far greater heights than the first. The book anticipates genetic engineering, and the idea of superminds composed of many telepathically-linked individuals."
