The picture will continue to become more clear. There is a reason the religious voice is becoming louder. Its because the realization of losing ground is setting in. We will not see an end to religion in our lifetime, but we may certainly see things like the discovery of life elsewhere in the universe, and an explanation for how life began. As these things are uncovered, the old explanations offered by religion will go by the wayside just as the flat Earth explanation, and the universe revolving around the Earth have.

Being all sciency, shouldn't you not exclude the possibility of a higher power before making sweeping statements like this? Cause, you know, sweeping statements brought you the flat Earth theory...
