@ BlastTyrant,
Generally speaking, my perspective of religion and philosophy as it pertains to mankind, centers around discovery of truth. I suppose that's what I was trying to context above. How ignorant are we? Who knows the truth? Does everyone have as many questions as I do? There is a truth to be found, and I suspect it differs from what many believe.
I don't think there is necessarily a need for a Noah's Ark style event, but perhaps a need for a mass antithesis and subsequent synthesis in the direction of truth and righteousness. If we are to progress as a species, it stands to reason that we need to clear up any confusion, to know the truth, as it is somewhat prerequisite.
The question is if people are ready for truth. Truth would determine which are and are not. What if we, as a species, discovered universal undeniable truth that contradicts what billions have structured generations of their lives around? How would people react? Can people come together in search for universal truth found within most belief systems, or will people continue to take an aggressive competitive and/or defensive approach? How many people can be honest, reasonable and open minded?
Either way, whatever chaos may/may not erupt, some sort of a new order will eventually follow. Can we arrive at a conclusion or synthesis without all hell breaking lose? Is it worth taking the chance in order to find truth?
