Ok, I assume you arn't here to debate the semantic definitions of hope? Ie: is there actually such a thing as hope at all?
So, what do you mean by 'hope for mankind'? Hope for mankind to do what? Fly to Pluto? Develope a nicer-tasting potatoe chip? Be more specific with your question and I shall answer you with my absolute and inexhaustable wisdom

faith in what?

I have no faith in a god per se but i suppose i have faith in other things and that gives me hope for a happy fulfilling life

Smoothie, it seems to me you've answered your own question.

Was the accidental(Freudian slip?) capital F in faith that confusing? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Anyway, what I meant about "hope for mankind" is that will we really exist long enough to year 2100? We all have to admit...humans are by far the most pathetic things that walked the Earth. I say that there is no hope for mankind because I have no faith. I also highly doubt that humans will reach Pluto...ever...due to how slow technology is developing. Probably another Cold War might help give it a boost and maybe we might even reach Mars.

On the contrary humanity is one of the more remarkable species ever to walk the earth. We by manipulating things around us are almost infinately adaptable. The fact of the matter is we just have a harder time adapting to living with each other. We're working on the environmental issues. The progress is slow but still there. Is there hope for humanity? I say yes, because to say no makes my life and the life of humanity as a whole effectively worthless. At that point whats the use of waking up tomorrow, what the use of saving someones life, and whats the point of procreation? Will we exist in 2100? I'd expect so. Things aren't so volatile as to generate humanity's self-destruction in that period of time.

P.S.What would be the point of reaching pluto?

P.P.S. The definition of faith as one of my mentors defined it: faith is belief in something otherwise intangible.

P.P.P.S. My definition of hope: desire for something. That's the short of it. I'd try for more depth, but I'm getting a touch fatigued now. 1:13am and all that.
