Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain lurking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space.

Is god omnipotent ? If he is, can he create a rock so heavy he can't lift it ?

Any physical theory is always provisional, in the sense that it is only a hypothesis: you can never prove it. No matter how many times the results of experiments agree with some theory, you can never be sure that the next time the result will not contradict the theory.
