Na Religion really has no bearing on it other than it's a reason to wage wars. You might have to say many of our achievements have come because of wars. So while war can be bad it's also the biggest factor in our advancements.

It seems the biggest changes that have affected man in the last 100 years has been transportation and communication. If you assume that will continue to drive change you would have to assume that we will most likely have to move out to other planets.

They say techonlgy wise we could have humans on Mars in less than 20 years living there permanently in 50. To live on Mars we would first have to expand to the moon or to larger space stations, so is space our future and other planets in 100 or less?
