Is there something specific you are thinking about when it comes to this concern about futility?

Who would have guessed two thousand years ago in a civilization ruled by Rome that a small band of twelve men following the crucifixion of their leader were about to turn the world upside down?

Let the future take care of itself. It is after all in God’s hands.

For right now, embrace Christ and do in this moment the best you can.

This very moment is a gift, a moment to pray, a moment to encourage, a moment to smile, a moment to love.

Live each moment with Christ.

My future is Heaven (God Willing)
To be comforted in the present,
is to be comforted in the trappings of this world.
And that is where futility resides. 😃

The Father’s kingdom is spread out upon the earth, men just don’t realize it.
 
My personal belief is that the more technologically advanced we become as a civilization, (Think Star Trek) the LESS religious people will become. I’m not saying it will be less relevant or that all people will become less religious, but definitely a major shift will happen as we start to explore the universe and hopefully realize that the accumulation of material things should not matter, but rather helping all humanity come together as we explore this expanding universe of ours. Not to mention when and if first contact is made with an alien civilization, people just perhaps might have to realize their religion is not exactly the 100% truth they perceive it to be. Of course this is just one possibility.

Sadly it seems today, people of all religions are trying to use that religion to justify violence, hatred, bigotry, oppression, discrimination and other horrible acts of humanity based in the name of their God. Very sad indeed.

Out of 7 billion people in the world, most people identify with one religion or another. Luckily, Star Trek is a fantasy. We have only ourselves to turn to. Religion is not going away, ever.

It is true that American culture becomes secularized, however, American culture is just a glimpse into the world’s reality; and not the whole reality. Religion is here to stay, it is as strong as ever.

It is impossible for matter to reach the speed of light, if that were to occur matter would react as photons react as they are at the speed of light. There is nothing to stabilize the destruction of matter in this way. Think of a sonic boom, how as we reach the speed of sound, matter becomes unstable. We’re able to stabilize this problem, however, what makes you think that matter can be stabilized through speed, indefinitely. Matter would react as light, going the speed of light, it reacts as light. The point is–No speed of Light, no Star Trek (exploring and colonizing the universe).
