An earthworms purpose is the recycling of the dirt.. The bees, the pollination of plantlife, etc.. Without these things, the world would be barren.. So, life itself designates their purpose. If humanity were wiped out tommorrow, the world would keep spinning, life would most likely, go on... We serve no greater purpose than self gratification.. If you are right.. In what manner has mankind made this world better for any creature, other than himself?

I can't honestly say I am other than an agnostic, myself.. Not atheist, though.. I would also argue, your civilization was built first and foremost by religion.. Pure religion, not some fools interpretation of religion.. My relationship with God is mine, I don't often share it with others.. Pat Robertson is just another self serving tool..

And sorry, but, we've derailed a thread, lol...

It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then, and it's a poor sort of memory that only works backward.

that we did. if you want to keep discussing this via private message that's cool with me, but we should stop crapping up this thread, I think.

Mayhap one of these days I will reactivate my account and Roga and Stitcher can hook up in the Shackled Amarr and discuss it further over drinks, lol... He thinks much as I do.. Adeu!

If the wormhole would open again and let us in, the following options will happen:

A. Earth and the entire Milky Way galaxy is deserted after all the resources have been depleted, resulting into the extinction of humanity or recolonizing to another galaxy with the technology they accumulated in 16,000 years.
B. Earth and the entire Milky Way galaxy is at war, using weaponry and technology even an armada of Titans could not match. Entering Earth would mean very swift destruction.
C. Earth and whatever is left off the galaxy come back to New Eden to reclaim it, which would result to our very swift destruction.

In my opinion, I don't want any of these happening.


That's most unfortunate... because one of them will.


Truth.

You are not nearly as educated on the subject as you think.

That's because we have pretty large fossil record to refer to and can see any signs of divergence in the real world.

Each race in EVE would check their record and find it suddenly ends on their home world in most cases. There'd be NO mitochondrial "Adam" or "Eve" to refer to. They'd simply find similarities in DNA and other genetic material between races and that's it.

We can trace our real world history to places in Europe and Africa because we have migrated from there. In-fact there are fossils where every person in the world is essentially linked to. However if those links are cut (those fossils never found) each one of us could be a very different species that evolved parallel to one another.


never mind, I just reread this so never mind.

It is a well known fact that Canadians are of a different species than humankind.

To discover some of the ancient history of the Earthmen who first colonized the New Eden side of the wormhole in the next expansion would be good. I for one enjoy the fact that the empires of New Eden have lost any possible chance to contact Earth ever again. They are on their own as they have been for thousands of years. If it's not broke don't fix it!

To be honest when I started reading this thread my answer was simple, no. But as I read it occurs to me if it was going to be done it would be pretty cool to go back and explore a dead or mostly dead human empire. This said I would prefer it stay closed I'm rather at home in New Eden.

This post may contain spoilers from EVE books:

I think it would be more likely than not, that if Earth and any other human civilization exists on the other side of the gate, it would be like the Imperium of Man from WH40k. Except less of an empire and probably more isolated pockets of humanity. Considerng what we know of the background lore, after the New Eden gate collapsed, humanity would have turned on itself again and fought devastating wars with weapons so powerful we can only dream - or have nightmares - of. Remember the weapon Jamyl Sarum used? That could've been an Earthen strip miner for all we know and not even intended as a weapon.

So, say we find a way back. There would perhaps be technologically superior planets there, but their technology would be tens of thousands of years old and each an invaluable relic.

You don't want to go to Earth.
Haven't you been watching all those television reality shows just now reaching us from 20,000+ years ago? Just think of what they might have become over that time.

Between the Kardashians, Kanye West, Honey Boo Boo and all those Biggest Losers people, earthlings must have evolved into something we would want nothing to do with...

Earth, as the birthplace of humanity, likely wasn't the center of the Milky Way.. All of the colonization came from Tau Ceti.. This thread should be Tau Ceti in the next expansion.... Earth is probably a stripped shell of a planet, decimated and left barren by the expansion of a viral plague known as homo sapiens... Cool

If you shield tank, don't go to Earth. In fact, get rid of your shields entirely if you do. The Sleepers had the right idea with an xbawk huge armor tank.
