It just sounds too absurd to likely happen. The only way we will know for sure what we will be like or if we will exist at all is if someone takes a time trip 100,000 years in the future.RikardurI already know it won't be like that. No need to visit the future.

I'm not buying these wild guesses.R0cky_Racc00n
But it's science and an expert said it could happen. :shock:
The claim is ridiculous. It is because I say so.
By the way, all that's missing from the representation of humanity's superior descendants would be a Hitler moustache.
[QUOTE="Bartimaeus23"][QUOTE="Stumpt25"]To be honest, if you were a parent who firmly believes that your religion is the truth and that you have found your saviour... wouldn't you be a bad parent NOT to expose your child to that? We teach our children our political beliefs and lots of other things which are basically a matter of opinion - but nobody cares about those issues. However, i agree with Richard Dawkins that it's unfair to label your child a 'christian child' when they hardly know what they are. And i don't think baptism for children is good at all. If i have children i won't necessarily teach them my religion (because i'm agnostic), but because i come from a largely christian background, i hold the values in the bible very dear to me, and i'd probably teach them.Stumpt25Isn't that why God gave us free will though? So we can choose for ourselves? I'd only teach them when they'd be older and able to understand religion if they were curious. Otherwise I could argue that I'd simply exploit my position as a person of trust to teach kids what I believe. That's the whole point... Kids DO have freewill I was taught the religion of my parents and I don't believe it anymore. It hasn't damaged me as a person, and i actually feel that i've benefitted from it. Children at a young age would believe most things a parent tells them. I know if they're older, children will learn to think for themselves; but then what's the point of teaching them something when they'll believe it regardless of what it is?

My hair is pretty greasy too. Actually, it looks as if I've rubbed my head with a frying pan.[QUOTE="Bartimaeus23"][QUOTE="omfg_its_dally"]I have to take a shower at least once a day, because my hair gets greasy looking by the next day if I haven't showered. czort666
Well,you said you wash once a week,is greasy hair much of a surprise to you.
Yes, hair is a vital component of my beautifully sculpted body. I may bring it upon myself to take a bath soon![QUOTE="Bartimaeus23"][QUOTE="Andrew_Xavier"]No. Organized religion has brought humanity nothing but bloodshed and war, I have no interest in putting my kids through such a bloodthirsty system.Andrew_XavierMost people don't kill themselves over religion. War and religion don't necessarily have to have anything at all in common. Ummm...the history of humanity begs to differ.
If you say so. :?
Nope, mental cleanliness will be one of my top priorities as a parent.jointedI guess that means you won't let them use the internet.
