well there isnt an alternate hypothesis forum. And hypothesis vs theory is a matter of semantics for the average person. It's a bit nit-picky for us to start addressing that issue at this stage.

or here's the optimistic prediction:

humans realise they screwed up things on earth and start up civilisations elsewhere in the solar system, where they live in a more sustainable manner and continue to spread out through the galaxy in a star-trek-like fashion

That is how I've felt about it for decades, and although some have agreed jokingly, I have seen how alien we feel to this environment. I wonder, tough, if aboriginal peoples living in harmony with their environment have exhibited this pattern?

I have lived in BC since '72 and I have witnessed the wholesale slaughter of our forests and most of the wildlife that depends on it. Only a species out of tune with its environment could possibly do something that stupid, unless we are trying to recreate the atmosphere of our home planet.

That should rile up the loggers on here!

Nevermind that the past few gov'ts we've had in BC have done nothing but mismanage the forests dreadfully.

Perhaps, but he is still quoting these idiotic hypotheses from that interpretation of a obviously unscientific religious text.

That's optimistic?

Star Trek is about American imperialism and hegemony!! I see little difference between captain Kirk and Cortes.

well maybe not quite as dark and heavy as star-trek, but remember star trek is told from the point of view of the military. the people on the planets usually have a good time and wear very few clothes

The Nebular Hypothesis does not account for the swarms of broken rocks and planetoids orbiting the sun between Mars and Jupiter.

Any body got any ideas about how come we don't have a perfect solar system. Could it be that we are regularly scrambled by maverick chunks of sufficient mass? Where did the old guys get their wild stories from anyway? They were better writers then we have today eh? Imagination was better 10,000 years ago it seems. You know mythologizing events was and is a necessary part of cultural developement and social continuity. Very natural for us and always has a base of fact.
