We've already been visited by an intelligent extraterrestrial with solutions to all these problems. But most reject the solutions, and question his identity. His name was Jesus. Philip J. Rayment 21:56, 9 May 2007 (EDT)

Good one - touché. I was thinking you were going to identify It as God. Human 22:18, 9 May 2007 (EDT)

1) Rejection of God. Solve that one and the rest would fall into place. Philip J. Rayment 10:17, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

1)Prevent global warming, by finding alternative (read:wind, solar, hydrogen, and, if it ever appears, fusion) sources of energy. 2) Stop, and reverse, the deleterious effect that free trade and international repression has had on developing African and Asia countries. 3) Enshrine the UDHR, the effective culmination of 12,000 years of thought from various religions and philosophies, into national law throughout the world. Give the UN a credible way of enforcing this which is independent of various national interests. --Wikinterpreter^talk?

"Solving" the rejection of god would do absolutely nothing for anything. religion causes more problems then it solves, northern Ireland, terrorism, ID, the Tamil Tigers etc. My list would be 1) global warming 2) poverty 3) freedom of government for every country 4) endangered species of animals 5) freedom of sexuality 6)scientists need to be believed and people must accept that science is seperate from religion 7) seperation of church and state in every country 8) securing Earth from asteroids etc. 9) spreading the word about the fallibility of religion and everything associated with it including ID and young earth. I know a lot of the conservatives around here won't like my liberal take on things, but its a debate and there is my view. Bolly Ottihw 14:13, 10 May 2007

Not that religion is without its problems, I heard this canard tonight on Nightline (two zealous athiests versus two polite Christians). From Stalin's Terror to Chairman Mao's Communist and Cultural revolutions, I do think religious disputes pale in comparison. HeartOfGold 02:47, 10 May 2007 (EDT)
