Then they went off into space in their spaceships.
Everyone on earth now knows the same truth...

We evolved from nothing to something. Man began to question its existence and invented religion as an answer (but this is fake and a simple figment of our imagination). We live and die. On the grand scale of things our lives represent less than a speck of dust. The feelings of love, peace, anger, joy, happiness etc in the end amount to nudda.
We have 0 an average of 65 years to live and then die. To experience a hope but in the end comes the realization we are nothing more than educated monkeys. There is no salvation. Life then death.
Can you really buy into this argument?

We can rule out all of the religions on earth, as no solid proof exists that there is a God. (After all, the bible and other scriptures were written by man).
We now have a problem as we are destroying our planet; humans are a plague and are consuming all of the earth�s resources. The environment is changing, and if nature doesn�t destroy us, the threat of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction will.. sooner or later.
The only solution is to advance technology enough to fund an advanced space program and to find another planet that can support life.
So in short, the long term future of mans survival isn�t looking that good, which leads me to where:

Going to another planet will solve nothing, because the heart of man is evil.

Ah, but you can't rule out philosophies like Buddhism and you still have to account for universal "near death experiences" that indicate people of all religions go to heaven.

Let me explain it to you this way (not saying I buy into it).
If you knew for 100% certainty that there is no god or supernatural whatever out there, how would it change your life?
