Age of Enlightenment

Age of Enlightenment

According to some scripture in the bible the devil would rule for 1,000 years or more then the light or god will rule. Do you think we are finally entering in the age of enlightenment, stepping out of the darkness and into the light for the next 1000+ years? How long do you think this period will last, how much further do you think it will take us and how how long do you think it will be before Satan (the dark) claims rule again?

We're making some progress, in some areas. Until we stop spending so much on war and instead cure world hunger, thirst, most diseases (which we COULD do financially) I think 'age of enlightenment' is far too strong a term.

Admitting numerous setbacks, I believe that human civilization has been generally moving towards enlightenment for the last 500 or so years. As Alice Cooper said, "We've still got a long way to go." I'm just hoping that the current war on terror is not too much of a setback.

Purely from an economics perspective I think the war on terror has set the US back a few decades, at minimum.

There always periods of advancement and reversal, destruction and rebirth. This is a

phase it will pass and have all the others before it and all the others that will come.

God isn't the one who destroys the worlds when they're final finished. It is always

humans. Engineered in such a way to propagate their own demise each time around.
