By the way, it turned out to be very interesting and informative thread. Still, I get the feeling of studying street signs in a ghost town. Carefully sifting through the yellow documents in a box in the attic as mildew suffues the air. We talk of Gramci--a nostradamus for the "Right"--and we read and re-read the Best Minds. All of them heartbreakingly right. I'll let Santayana's words describe us:
"...It is conservatism in a shipwreck. It has not the insight to embrace the fertile priciples of life, which are always ready to renew life after no matter what natural catastrophe. The good laggards have no courage to strip for the race. Rather than live otherwise, and live better, they prefer to nurse the memories of youth and to die with a retrospective smile upon their countenance....."
I reject your anthropomorphism of the Creator. The last physical frontier is beyond our generation ... deep space and other solar systems. The remaining frontier is the human spirit, that which lifted us above the animal kingdom from which our Creator raised us. That frontier is not dependant upon the vagaries of the spacetime universe of our physical perceptions. It is our collective ignorance regarding the nature of dimension time and dimension space that limits our peek into the future of humankind.
