When are we going to mature as a Society?

Question

In the "old days", things were taught with story-telling. They didn't even have
basic knowledge of things like gravity. The Earth's magnetic core pulling
everything to the center of our planet, so we don't fly off into space.
Today, we have the knowledge of the Universe!

Answer 1

So you're idea of a mature society is one that abandons religion and faith values. Forgets the poor, needy, and weak among us and instead embraces an empty universe with all the inherent meaning of a gyroscope without a string and to fill up that empty hole makes a race to see who can try to fill it with the most stuff the fastest?

Whee. Let me sign right on.

Not.

Answer 2

society, that does not exist today. why ??? well people lock themselves in their own homes for the fear or being kidnapped, mugged, attacked or raped. call that society. The health care system sucks ( UK), Police are not doing their job. Racism is at an all time high. The government and the US is frightening people with issues like terrorism and hence making the world a dangerous place.

There is war in over 35 contriues in the world. People have no respect for life, the planet, other coutries and other peoples beliefs.

Are you honestly telling me people like these can actuallly ever mature. Have we really evolved over 4 Million years from Chimps and apes to merely behave like animals?
we were better off in the caves. atleast it was instinctive at that point to kill and fend for yourselve. We have much bigger brains now to make decisons and " social " judgments. but how many of us actually sit and think about what we. do???????

Answer 3

We're not going to mature as a society. People are not any more moral because we have greater technology. The problem has been the selfish sinful nature that people are born with since the days of Adam and Eve. People can change as individuals when they are "born again" by God's Holy Spirit, they can grow up and get tired of the sins of their youth and repent of the most harmful of behaviors, but as a society we won't grow up till Jesus comes again.

Answer 4

well, there's always something unknown. there's always something that we think is impossible to understand. the universe is very large, and there might be things that we learn about the universe or even our own solar system of planet that 10 years downt he road will be common knowledge. i mean, just think....20 years or so, computeres were nothing. but now, computer things are common knowledge. there's always some way to improve. as an art professor told me "a masterpiece is never finished."

Answer 5

We don't have the complete knowledge of the Universe don't get ahead of yourself there.
Society is mature but no more closer to the truth behind the meaning of life than before. God is the only true one who knows our purpose and thats not just story-telling!

Answer 6

I think the most important thing is that THIS IS NOT A RELIGION QUESTION. we will never mature as a society bcos of human nature and greed, but nobody better answer this as a religious question.

Answer 7

During the Millennium.

Answer 8

The earth's magnetic field doesn't cause gravity, it's mass does...

Answer 9

Never. Because we'll still have stupid people who won't accept things like gravitational theory. They'll insist that schools teach "Intelligent Falling" as a perfectly legitimate "theory".

Answer 10

As soon as immaturity is outlawed, but it only takes one immature person to break the law and therefore the law would have to stipulate death as punishment in order to disallow the breaking of the law....hmmmm...
