What we need is the technology to warp. Travelling at light speed will still take 20 bloody years to get there.
If we could travel 3 times the speed of light we'd be there in 26 weeks.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
