No. Just no. The Universe works in a high-risk, high-reward way. Guess what. The sun is the most massive and the most dependable source of energy/light that we have. Without it, humanity would die out in a matter of weeks. That's assuming the Earth didn't collide with another massive asteroid and/or planet.
However. Guess what. In an estimated 2.7 billion years, our sky will look absolutely stunning. The Andromeda Galaxy will be closer than ever before and nothing you've ever saw will ever compare to the beautiful contrast of colors it will behold.
Also in 2.7 billion years, the sun (the thing that saves us) would have grown so large that it would have most likely swallowed both Mercury (definitely), Venus and potentially Earth. Either way, Earth's oceans would have dried up and evaporated, nearly all water molecules would have left into space, making Earth literally uninhabitable (save for some extremophiles, maybe). That's if the sun hadn't swallowed it whole by then.
Now let's take a gun. A simple, say, Magnum.47 (sorry-not-sorry if that's wrong, I'm bad at guns). Roughly 10,000 people are either injured or killed in America alone on a daily basis. However, around 4,000 - 20,000 people are SAVED in America alone on a daily basis (very rough but the range is a good estimate).
A human can both kill a person, and save a person. They can both destroy a nation, or build a nation. Every single thing in the Universe has the inherent ability to take away life and give life. A woman can have an abortion, or childbirth. An abortion prevents another life entering the world, whilst childbirth brings another life into the world.
Technology kills and saves a roughly equal amount every day across the planet. Gangsters constantly kill each other with the use of pistols, while doctors constantly save each other with the use of medicines and antibiotics and surgeries.
However, Nature is still the leading cause of both death and life. It is constantly sustaining and bringing in life (childbirth is part of Nature). Entire galaxies can be destroyed via black-holes, but nobody seems to care about that. Gravity holds together both solar systems and the previously mentioned galaxies, but holy s---. Black-holes use the unimaginable force of gravity to absolutely destroy anything it comes across. Yet gravity is the reason humanity could even have a shot at existence.
So what I'm saying is that Nature kills just as much as it saves. It's not a benevolent or malevolent force, it simply does it's best to keep itself alive, whether or not it kills in the process. The Universe would be equally fair to itself if it just collapsed. Sure, it wouldn't hold anything worth of value but those valuables wouldn't constantly be destroyed either.
So f--- off. -
Keno Joyous NewbieAnd actually, I perfectly agree with IHLAOY's first post specifically, even about the "f--- nature" part.
But I generally agree with all he's said.
I like that arrogant f---. -
Keno Joyous Newbie(Actually no, around 30-34,000 people are killed by guns in America each YEAR, sorry. Same for people saved.)

On the colonizing other planets thing, we as humans only have one option short of having to become a galactic species like in Star Trek, including the need for a warp drive. Our one good chance of terraforming a world to being habitable and not needing an advanced warp drive is Mars. Although Mars has no magnetic field, meaning any attempts to thicken it's atmosphere are futile, there is a chance that by putting a strong magnetic feild around each colony we create, we could sustain life in a large bubble, much like a gigantic greenhouse. We would just have to bring some Earth dirt and some plants, take them and plant them in the dirt inside the bubble, and put more carbon dioxide into it. After that, we'd just let the plants di their thing until the carbon dioxide / oxygen ratio was similar to Earth's and then let people and animals live there. So that they could have water, they'd just have to build this bubble near one of the ice caps which could provide them both with CO2(from the "dry ice") and Oxygen (from the water) For an energy source, they could fuse the remaining Hydrogen from the water. Other than this, we'd have to first find a near star system with an earthlike planet in the system, make a warp drive (easier said than done) and basically start from scratch, since communicationwith Earth would be nearly iimpossible unless we had the equivalent of Subspace Communication in Star Trek, since it travels faster than light.

Isn't it odvious?
Obama will admit he's a terrorist and bomb the whooole world.
^~^ -
burn and fall in its own stupidity and greed.
that's all there is to it. -
Society will ultimately function like it always has.
The people who have inspiration and intelligence, and ambition, will rule over the misanthropic, self loathing, idiotic masses -
I'm just going to say the way earth is headed now we might have a downfall in society. It will be worse than what happened when the Stock Market crashed. We might have to go to other countries or as others have said try to find life on other planets and live there (not likely though)

Kai hime NewbieWish I could say,'The world is going to get greener, happier day by day!', but that would be stupid of me.The reality is that everybody is promising that they would help in improving the society,but that's just talk. In real life, nobody gives a damn about who is dying, which nation is falling etc. except of course, if they are directly involved. Society will not be improved if we march with candles, protest outside government buildings etc., it is the time to ACT. No tomorrow, no day after; today, at this moment itself. Otherwise...wait silently until the society crashes down.
