Default Onward to Alpha Centauri to Save the Human Race

This is what scientists currently think. In five billion years when the Sun goes

red giant the human race is going to have to escape to Alpha Centauri. It may

take eighty years to get there with a seed ship of perfect specimens of human

kind. But if there are no habitable planets there the human race is screwed.

The human race won't exist in a million yrs, let alone billion. Even if
we don't die out we'll evolve to something unrecognizable.

The human race will not survive unless it gets its act together. But it will. It always finally does.

Lets put this in perspective, shall we ?

5 billion is 5,000 million.
And each and every one of those 5,000 , is a THOUSAND MILLENNIA.

Note that only a measly 2 millennia ago, puts us at the beginning of
the Roman empire ! So each million is 500 times that !

We can't stop evolution. Are you for real?

In my view the human race is about to reach its final state of evolution.

That is what two world wars and the explosion of knowledge in modern times are

all about. In the last state of evolution death will be no more. This has

probably already happened to civilizations all over the universe.

I knew you often said things that didn't make sense, BUT now you top
yourself.

So human evolution is just going to shut off ?!

So totally ridiculous !

Whether or not human evolution totally shuts off is totally beside the point.

I never know what you are going to key in on next. Evolution could still

continue on some level. Maybe you can contribute some ideas on how this would

be possible then when death is no more.

Better send a reconnaissance mission well in advance of that!
