Good point, although, for me, it comes down to perspective. I guess, in my perspective, you can look at the universe like a planter's field, the earth as the seed. At some point, the seed will have been a fruitful tree, but will no longer bare anything useful, the field will be tilled up because it's too hard and crusty for anything useful to grow in it.... and, the way I see it, that's when the fun begins!!
I'd love to address some of the topics raised on this thread, but that's not for this forum so I'll just end my responses here.
