Oh, and for those saying "Religion". It's been around for 35000 years and it probably isn't going anyway ever.

religion has consistently decreased with education and high economies. Assuming the world gets richer and smarter, religion gon die....

[FearThisjake]

not really the same, but we're not far from a time when people literally will not understand what it is/was like to not have computers/the internet.

our generation will be the last to really know this and what it was like to actually have to remember phone numbers and know what it's like to not really have a computer

our generation might be cutting it close, might need to go back one more

[HeeeyYouGuuuys]

When I read about ancient Romans and their funny Roman gods, or Greeks, or Egyptians, or whatever, I always wonder if there were atheists back then too who said things like "Come on everybody, Zeus?? Are you kidding me?? Everyone in the future is going to think we were retarded!"

[Minjin]

Nationalism.

I think in the not so distant future we will be aghast at the idea of thinking that the group of people and the land we just happened to be born near defines who we are and that other people are inferior because of where they were born. We'll also realize that with growing scarcity of resources that we need to come together and not be divisive.

Truth. Even most people who are religious are way more relaxed about it then they used to be

Probably TONS of stuff, honestly, we KNOW NOTHING and we never will until we lose our ego's and closed minded thought process.

Religion may persist in some form but its current manifestations will still seem retarded, so it is definitely relevant.

No, it will just become more Religotainment and act as a social maneuvering ploy. It will eb and flow as society does. Look at the height or Rome. All the best Senators were "Religious" as a show. But it was just for appearance sake and EVERYONE knew it. From the lowest beggar in the street to Caesar himself. They didn't believe in chit.

Man has a need for that ceremony, ritual and pageantry. We dig it. Religion will always have a major place because of that.

I doubt any Romans believed in the ghey Greek/Roman Gods. They did worship the hell out of penises though. Srs. Look up "flying penis". Roman... should be called Homoan.

[FearThisjake]

Prolly some weird medical stuff that we never discovered yet. Like.... zomg...didn't they realize that mixing baking soda with mineral spirits and drinking it doubled their life span.

Physics stuff like "LOL, they thought Einstein's ideas where how the universe worked. They even said it was "proven". "

it's already been partially if not completely disproven

einstein said that light is the barrier that can't be broken but we've recently found particles that travel faster then light. granted it's not much faster, but it is indeed faster.

I think you're wrong. Until everyone is the same, humans will still have that sort of home team pride. Even once we're all the same (it's kinda inevitable), we'll still find things to bicker about and poke at about each other

Did anyone say religion yet?

The world is going to be smarter? The world is getting dumber & lazier by the day.

no, I think they're still on point. I'm pretty sure they are referring to people like this:

The world is warming, this is an undisputed fact. What is disputed is the cause of the warming, and it is somewhat irrelevant since in 100-200 years several coastal cities will be flooded. It always makes me laugh how the conspiracy theorists act as though if they can prove it isn't caused by humans, somehow that makes everything OK and we will all be just fine. Personally I don't care what the cause of it is, it's probably mostly part of a natural cycle but humans evolved to live in a very narrow climate band, and I'd rather we did what we could to maintain that climate rather than trusting GODDDD like many want to.

No, idiot, it was proven to be a measurement error. Why are people like you so quick to jump on anything anti-scientific when you don't even understand the concepts being discussed? Relativity has not been disproved, and it never will be. It's the strongest theory in all of science.

Einsteins Theory of relativity

It has been debunked on multiple counts and people still refuse to accept it like they are in some kind of denial.

There was a reason he called it the "THEORY" of relativity, what part of theory can't *******s get through their thick skulls

Please explain *******.

Everything that has been tested has been right, that means that anything in the future will INCORPORATE einstein's ideas. I.e. our knowledge will get better.

If something goes against einstein, then that doesn't mean all the **** he said he wrong, it just needs additional stuff. Just like with newton's gravity, we don't go "lol he was wrong", we go "he was 99% right, let's still use it for 99% of stuff!"

Yeah, the canopy theory and the idea that if we hadn't messed up in the garden of Eden we would live there for ever.
The Eden part is in the bible. The canopy theory is newer.

I believe that was later discovered to be an error in the machine they were using to measure the speed.

So has slavery and that is pretty minimal at this point.

Religion

not likely...cant disprove it...after someone sailed around the world then the notion that the earth was flat was rejected....cant imagine a scenario that will make people stop believing in a higher power.
