Do you think the human race has a positive or negative future? Where can we go from here?

Hope was the last little thing left in Pandora's box. Hang onto it, it's probably all we've got.
There is always hope until we breathe our last. But if the race dies out does, it really matter? Existence will go on. Reality won't change. The Universe won't even notice. Are you just a little humaner? There is a whole load of stuff out there. Be happy. Don't worry.

Isaac Newton exercised what he called " the power of patient thought " in the unravelling of the universe's secrets. Even if the theories keep changing.
But no one will get the end entirely right! Even those of us who read scriptures will be dumbfounded at the finish. None of us will nod to each other and say, " exactly as I'd predicted ". There were few ready for the birth at Bethlehem. The disciples were demoralised at the death of Jesus - despite His predictions of His death. The resurrection when it happened was a bombshell among them. The ascension of Jesus caught them gazing upwards in mystification. The Gift of the Spirit, though predicted by Jesus, was an amazing surprise.
Thus, when the sixth saving act of Christ - His return at the final triumph takes place, once again we shall gasp, " I never though it would be like this. "
People have read that the universe was the size of a tabletennis ball when it began and they assume that it will eventually return to the same size at the end of it's life. Get a Grip! Absolutely NO, there will be no tabletennis balls, but rather the " Bending round of the two covers of the Bible to meet each other ".
Moses, to whom the first five books of the Bible were given, will shake hands with John, the writer of the Revelation. The story will be complete. It will be the same Heaven and Earth, recognisably so, but completely rejuvenated. The tie-up between Genesis and Revelation, with some 1600 years separating their writing, will be awe inspiring and brilliant.
Genesis records how God created Heaven and Earth; it is Revelation that portrays the " New Heaven and Earth ". In Genesis the various lights of nature are created; the sun, moon, and stars; we learn from Revelation that in the " New Order " that the only light we will ever need will be provided by the Glory of God and of the Lamb, Christ.
Genesis in the beginning describes a garden which was lost; the final book of Revelation reveals a " Restored Garden City ". Genesis speaks of the lying serpant; Revelation tells of the devil's consignment to the " Lake of Burning Sulpher ". In Genesis the man and woman are running from God; in Revelation 21 the " Ban is Lifted " and God is living with His people.
Genesis shows us the " Tree of Life ", denied to the fallen couple by an angel with " A Flaming Sword ". In Revelation, those who their " Robes Washed " at the " Cross of Christ " now have " The right to the tree of life ", and have access to the gates of the city.
If you don't want to know the final result, then turn your eyes away from the last pages of the Bible!!

That depends on your time frame. Over the next 100 years? Yeah, I think so. The next 10,000? Probably. 1 million years? That's a crap shoot.
But keep in mind that we have a track record of overcoming adversity and expanding into more and more areas. We're clever little monkeys, and if we figure out how to find and travel to other inhabitable planets, then the sky's the limit!

The only thing the human race has is hope. See Pandora and the box.

There is NO hope for the human race. Racism will destroy the world we love. Your racial pride, motherland, KKK, black panther, La Raza groups will eventually destroy this nation, then the world. But they will have to answer to a higher power, there will be retribution for what they have said and done.

Yup. there is always hope. u know why? cuz we can never know the future. that in itself, can be hopeless to some people...but the fact that there is hopelessness, means there IS hope. confusing, but true. as in, there is HOPE to give up on, and therefore some people have CHOSEN to be hopeless. but if there never was any to begin with, there woudln't even be a choice. i dunno.... :) but either way, it's best to be as Positive, Healthy, Happy, and Good as possible, that way even if there WAS "hopelessness" in the future, at least u did ur best and have no regrets.

With the US, Israel and the UK creating wars everywhere I can't seen much hope in a peaceful world. If China & India take the lead of world politics we will be in far better world

Hopefully we have a very positive future, there is always hope and we have to cling on to that.

Man will at sometime do what he does best F*** up, but we try and it won't be for a long while yet so i don't think there's a need to worry, but just look at our history and your answer is there, because we never learn from our mistakes
