Yes, in the bigger picture it is completely realistic and I think anyone who disagrees is only fooling themselves. That being said I do not believe it was Bill's intention nor is it realistic to expect 100% of people to get on board. Just look at today, we have a statistically large number of people with mental issues who live out there mixed in with the rest of us who are complete sociopathic predators. There are many different reasons or categories of people who are not "on board" with the civilized world as it is today. Explain that? You seem to think Bill's point is only valid if EVERYONE buys in. Yet the world we have today does not have that 100% participation rate you seem to be stuck on, so how does that work?
Are you testing me Satan?
You are correct that not 100% have to go along with it and I do believe it is possible for it to happen but not forced or pushed. However, I believe the number of people that wont go along with it is too high. Maybe in a few thousand years... or more²
You could argue he was ahead of his time and I would agree but it is not realistic now and I don't see it happening for a long time.
People are more malleable than they are anything else. However, I can understand why this is a hard concept to grasp for people who haven't seen it for themselves first hand. There are things happening all around us every day and we never realize it until we learn what to look for.
Hardly sporting of you to use something only you can see and know as an argument. I can't prove or disprove this nor can I even think about something I have no information about. So please explain in a way that does not use the logic or language used to prove or disprove the existence of god.
