Damn you OP, you stole my idea.
BTW, every major religion predicted it. its a commin'
I fell, in the comming year, we will see major achievements in Quantum Physics and Nano tech and steam cell research, not to mention hardon collidor.
These will piss off the gods* as we will cross the line they drew for us... and...
* Our creators, merely a species more intelligent than us. They created us in their form as an experiment and put the first prototypes (Adam and eve) in a lab/enclosure. They was obviously a connection the their server or something like that that (apple tree) by connecting to which Adam downloaded an intelligence module not intended for us. Pissed off, they shut down the whole experiment and instead of killing us relocated us on a far off planet, thinking, we will just weed ourselves out. But every now and then we reach to the point of discovering our origin and the truth about them they try to wipe us out of the planet and we being a resilient species just refuse to go away for good. Or maybe there are some helpers amongst them like who didn't let Adam and Even be killed when the experiment failed or who passed on a secret memo to Noah....
