By that time will there be a humanity as such.

First you have to expect that humanity can prosper under one banner. Otherwise we'd have to see colonies with samplings of established human cultures which would be prey to large empirialistic states.

As we can see economics can work as a focal point to international, interplanetary, and even eventually intersolar trade. But the core of the matter is without trade there is nothing to tie to separate cultures.

I have a hard time trying to think of any two cultures that don't trade, one is visibly better off than the other, but they still get along. At some point corruption will cause one nation of the other to try to subsume any and every other.

It's the fight that matters.. and avoiding it by having a functioning prosperous economy. Which is an ever ongoing pursuit since the economy would balance itself out somehow.

You can't want for something for ever without getting it yourself. As far as things like nations.. there shouldn't really be international trade among all of them, most have to be self sufficient to a point. After that they are just exploiting. While you aren't subsumming the nation you're exploiting.. you're not doing anything to make their situation better either.

Take that to an intersolar level and assuming transport of goods enabling any kind of trade economy.. still doesn't justify any relationships between planets in different systems. Import the knowledge to set whatever you're missing locally. Stupid would be setting yourself anywhere you can expect to be self sufficient. Yet having said that if you are self sufficient and your needs are minimal.. maybe you can be part of a greater commonwealth.. you're not exploiting it.

Seriously, I also sometimes wonder where we will get, I don't believe there will ever be an ending (of humanity) war; but seen the catholic fanatics rising with islamic fanatics, I would not exclude a huge religious war.

On the other hand is the world really getting worse? Isn't it that we tend to see (and remember) only the bad things?

Kyoto (for what it counts) has been rectified, threre have been some prper elections in ucraine, Europe can show the Us that even if they are number one they depend as well on europe and so on.

true

armagedon is like the end of the world. so yes it will come. any thing that has the begging has an end. since humanity has its own begging that means we will all have end, wothout any reproduction. it may not exactly happen the way it is said in the holly books..........................

The way I see it, the only thing that can stop this catastrophic war is the truth. The apocalypse (unveiling) is happening now, and the truth is being revealed. Should we realize en masse that we are all human beings on planet Earth, we will start to work together to build a world that works in harmony with nature rather than destroying ourselves.

I think the Armageddon is possible, but with enough work spreading the truth online to the masses, it can be prevented. You are right that the world is getting "worse," but I also see growing compassion flowering around the world. The times we live in are very interesting.

I don't know what world you are from Jethro but I'm 54 years old, the world is much better now than it was when I was a little boy and from what my grandfather told me it's a hell of lot better then it was when he was a little boy. It is perfect? No not by a long shot , but is it worse, absolutely not.....

I want a remake of the movie. It wasn't bound by science, but it was fun to watch.
