Don't be so sure, fellow Imaginer. Genius is where you find it and you never know when an Einstein or a Zephram Cochrane is going to appear on the scene and knock open a door that opens the way to the stars.

Knowledge and technology has come so far, so fast in just our lifetimes. You really want to make a bet on what might pop out of labs and genius minds in the next 10 years or so?

When Jesus was raised from the dead, he demonstrated abilities that his prior body didn't have, moving in and out of rooms without using doors, appearing and disappearing at will. He has promised that we would also be raised to have these same glorified bodies, Jesus being the firstborn among many brethren.

If we are to possess bodies that are uniquely Spirit, united to God in life, could we not move in the realm of Spiritual life freely? If the Spirit of God moves in all places of God's creation, perhaps we will be able to move anywhere in the Spirit, arriving at any created place at any created time. Our ideas of time travel and exploration of space may be a mere premonition to what is planned by God after he has raised his children from the dead. We will not rise to this level of technology as mortal men, but may attain it effortlessly, apart from technology, as we step into the resurrection of the dead.
