The technology is in fact there and so are very legitimate theories, the problem is finding people who will risk the money and unfortunately a lot of those people who could afford to all have their money tied up in oil companies etc. so they have no interest in it.
The main problem is that they haven't really found a way to monetize space yet
We need a light drive for that to become viable which really does sound like Sci-Fi but knowing CERN it might just be a matter of a few generations before we can say it will exist or we do an Interstellar if someone saw that movie.
Although commercial space travel is a step towards that, and if we can have colonies that can rely on a native planets own resources etc then we start progressing.
Since were in an end of Days topic it is apparent that it will be within the next two decades as John Titor told us all in 2000 and 2001 here is 2015 mates ^^
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_TitorIII World (nuclear) War: this civil war, according to Titor, will end in 2015 with a brief but intense World War III. Titor refers to the exchange as "N Day". Washington, D.C. and Jacksonville, Florida are specifically mentioned as being hit. After the war, Omaha, Nebraska is the US's new capital city. Titor is vague as to the exact motivations and causes for World War III. As a result of the war, the United States splits into five regions based on various factors and differing military objectives.
The civil war ended in 2015 when Russia attacked the U.S. cities (our enemy), China and Europe
Russia and China have always had a very strange relationship. Even the news I see now indicates that continued weapons deals to allies, border clashes and overpopulation will lead to hostilities. The West will become very unstable which gives China the confidence to "expand". I'm assuming you are all aware that China has millions of male soldiers right now that they know will never be able to find wives. The attack on Europe is in response to a unified European army that masses and moves East from Germany.

Post N-Day world:
Yes I believe in Jesus Christ and we pray to God in churches. There are some differences you may be interested in. Religion is a major part of peoples life in 2036. Pain and change tend to bring people together and closer to God. However, religion is far more personal than it is now. There are no huge, centralized religions and people talk openly about their beliefs. It might also interest you to know that the day of worship is Saturday, the day God meant to be the Shabbat and the 10 commandments have been restored to the "10" that God gave us.
Perhaps I should let you all in on a little secret. No one likes you in the future. This time period is looked at as being full of lazy, self-centered, civically ignorant sheep. Perhaps you should be less concerned about me and more concerned about that.

Yeah, the problem is the bible isn't based off reality, it's fiction and you can get the same results by looking at sci-fi movies from the 90's etc.
The Bible even failed to predict Satoshi, the true prophet.
A little bonus for you John Titor called it lol
The internal consistency of Titor's story has been questioned: for instance, in some posts he claims that money is widely used and people still have credit cards, despite his statement that centralized banking no longer exists (this is either an inconsistency or implies the rise of private currencies). In another posting, he speculated that today's dollar would be usable in his time, but that this would be after the reorganization of the federal government according to his own history, potentially making the currency worthless.[22]
