What I think is that very soon US will withdraw into isolationism, abandon all technology, education and just devote to waiting for second coming of Jesus. That will last for the next million years upon which people will not only wait for Jesus but Kirk Cameron and Ray Cumfart to return as well. Then all of a sudden a flying French croissant spaceship that is gushing cigarette smoke and smell of garlic will land in the face of stunned people in New York that will not be able to stop to wonder of the technological progress that has been going on and people will decide to abandon isolationism and turn toward technological progress.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
