No...we will eventually become the New Gods!

I get to be Orion because my ass kicking skills are BAD!

If you are Orion, I wanna be either Skyfather or Darkseid

The only thing keeping us from putting people on Mars is budget constraints. Going further than that (to literally anywhere in the universe) only takes time.

I also think it's reasonable to assume we'll be at least slightly more advanced in five billion years.

we wouldnt survive on mars. our body cannot handle the temperature thats on mars

Who cares? You don't have to colonize the planet, a manned trip to another planet would be a very important first step for a species intent on leaving their solar system.

Also: terraforming, genetic engineering, spacesuits, enclosed colonies. All viable ways of surviving there if you really wanted to.

Yes. Eventually. Earth destroyed countless species and started over 4 times already. We will eventually go, too.

i think we have a better chance than those guys did though.

I can't think of many species able to live in as many different places and climates as humans. Baring another planet destroying asteroid wiping out every human on the planet would be incredibly difficult.

Fixed it for you.

A better chance, why yes perhaps. But no civilisation can last forever.

Perhaps in the distant future, a new species will emerge, and will wipe out our race.

It is possible.. We've wiped a lot of 'inferior' species.

Perhaps there will come a time when we will be the 'inferior' species.

Regardless, humans are still evolving, and there is no such thing as devolution.

Evidence of devolution

cute, but no

Sadly I have watched DVD's at which some scientist pointed out that the way we are currently living, they would be surprised if we didn't begin to die out by 2100.

I think we are on the verge of outdoing that silly "earth" thing. It's already our ***** halfway.

If that was the TV show Earth 2100, I saw the same show, and there wasn't much science in it.

yea it was. but even tho they didnt fully explained the science, they spent a ton of money do research on this stuff for years, they didnt plan this in a couple of months.

stuff you see on TV rarely is scientifically accurate

it is made to, as you note, make money. Sensational claims do this, not rational discussion of potential problems.

Discovery and History networks are notorious for this, and they will milk the sensational aspects of pseudo-science for the fact that people will tune in and advertisers will pay.
