Welcome to In The Future!
This website looks at a range of 'Big Questions', always with one eye toward what might happen in the future - as no-one knows anything about the future with absolute certainty due to the vagueries of inductive logic rather than deductive logic.
Here are some of the Big Questions that will be looked at:
- What is the future for religion?
- Will morality and our views of right and wring change?
- Will we encounter other life forms out there?
- How likely is it we could create new forms ourselves?
- Will we ever find out what's on the other side of a black hole?
- Will humanity live forever?
- Is modern science too dangerous to continue with?
- Will there ever be a Theory of Everything?
Some of these issues will be explored on their own independently of any particular source material, others will be attuned to a greater or lesser extent to a particular text; for instance the section on the future of religion will be in part based around questions and responses raised by the Richard Dawkins book 'The God Delusion'.
