What?  Define religious fanatics, please.  Give me a break.  We have people in this country that suicide bomb abortion clinics and sniper abortion doctors.  We have people here that kill a bunch of finance company employees and then shoot themselves.\n\nAre we going to nuke them?  Put the nukes where they belong...on the shelf.  We have treaties and moral obligations to work through these things.\n\nIf you want a radioactive nuke site as a parking lot in the middle east, then start doing your own work on your little bomb.  I could guarantee you would be educationally incapable.\n\nFurther, your question is one of the most irresponsible that I have read in a long time.  \n\nRead a book or something.  It will help you understand what Einstein meant when he said "man wasn't ready for the splitting the atom".\n\nTake Care

This planet will only ever be at peace when it no longer exists.\n\nMankind is a violent creature.\n\nMaybe the time for peace will be when the nuclear winter/artificial virus has finished off a vast majority of the populace. \n\nTherefore the responsibility of the individual is to prepare for such events.\n\nTrain your body and mind. Converse with intellectuals. Become someone who is valued in the community and recognised as a leader.\n\nArmageddon draws ever nearer with each hour that passes....

I don't think that should be a factor.  Our representatives should be experts in relevant fields.  Religion is not one of those fields.  There probably should, however, be someone knowledgeable about human culture who could explain to the aliens the place religion has on earth.

We're not in heaven yet! =) We're still on earth, so yes, we still have environmental disasters which are called "natural" disasters. if we pray, there might be a miracle, but there will still be other disasters. But God promises us that He will be our shelter and comfort in times of trouble. \n\n"Do best for what is possible and let God for the impossible"\nif reducing cardom emissions and researching renewable energies and advanced agriculture reduce environmental  disasters then we should do it. We also pray to God. The two can go together. \n Look at our inventors. Most of them believe in God.

Amongst the zillions of other answers you'll get for this, I'll say that the problem is ALL humans. Yes, 6.5 billion people making the wrong choices the wrong way at the wrong time. Some very few actually listen to God and then do what He says and--wow--it works. But then they don't get any ego-stroking for it, so others don't repeat their demonstrated experiments. Instead, we see 6.5 billion humans, all screwing up the planet and the lives of others living on it.

Humanity will not be allowed to leave your solar system if you insist on clinging to your silly god concepts. The rest of the galaxy's sentient species will not tolerate such pollution  spreading to other species untouched by such rubbish.

A lot of people will lose their faith for sure, as majority of religious people do not believe in aliens. But there will be a lot of religious people who will make up stuff like God -created- alien- too -it- is- just- not- mentioned in- Bible kinda stuff.

I think that scientists are above that petty religious crap.\n\nWe're the better people for bettering humanity.  They can keep their religious petri-dish people have soul's crap to themselves.

- Sign the Kyoto Protocol on global warming, or at least take the lead in replacing it with something more than a pro-polluter smoke screen (no pun intended). \n\n - Cease the practice of unilateral "first strike" wars. You can be defensive-minded about security and be just as safe, if not moreso. But hitting first makes you look like an a-----e, especially if the information you're using to justify the war is shoddy at best. \n\n - Remove the Evangelical Christian influence on our foreign policy, especially in regards to health services and the environment. People who don't believe in the rapture/apocalypse don't appreciate it when countries go around trying to provoke it. \n\n - Cease all development of "new classes" of nuclear weapons. It makes our country look positively idiotic when we threaten Iran while developing "battlefield nukes" which are oft touted as "nukes you can actually USE!". \n\n - Finally, as the previous answer so aptly stated kick Bush the f--k out of office.

That depends a lot on what you mean by saving the world.  If you mean stopping pollution and such, you could join an environmental agency, or start recycling programs.  If you mean ending hunger, you could join a group like World Vision.  If you mean all of these things, well, good luck.

Get the religions to agree. All the problems would then be solved.But who is right?\nThere is no ideal president. Democracy makes no allowance for idealism.Take care my friend. take a look at http://thebaldchemist.blogspot.com for some fun insight into life.

You are absolutely right. Religion is only a construct created to give people comfort and to explain mysterious occurences, and to control the masses.\n\nExplaining strange phenomenon has already been taken care of. If you want to defeat religion and free humanity, you also need to tackle the philosophical implications. There has been insufficient popularization of atheistic ethics for most people to see us as anything other than simple and destructive hedonists. Also, make sure everyone understands that there is just as much beauty and joy in a world without God.\n\nPeace out from your fellow atheist!
