If humans began living in spaceships far from Earth,

would Muslims just pray towards Earth, and it’d be too hard to calibrate their bodies directly toward Mecca at such a distance?

If the Earth was destroyed, and Mecca gone, then what?

Naturally, should the Earth be gone, the Hajj would be impossible.

Not necessarily, the Hajj is to be done if you are able. Clearly, with no Mecca, it would be impossible. So the religion wouldn’t be destroyed from it.

And what would pagan/nature spirit worshiping religion come to if nature were destroyed in the destruction of the World?

the nature of other planets?
do you really think we are the only planet with plants and trees?
they don’t have to do anything. it would just be harder to create medicine

I think that storage would be limited, and our ships would be the slow kind, being massive. To reach other life bearing planets, if we even knew there location, would take forever.

Cities lack spirits.

And of course, it would hit the Christens hard, to have the world be destroyed, but not like in Revelations.

we would have multiple stations and our moon base plans that we ACTUALLY have plans for will be set up.
We would most likely not make it to space at all with religion still existent.
catholics would find a million parts of the bible that wants us to stay and so any chances would fail.
in order to become a truly universal being we must wipe out religion

Actually, according to the laws of physics, no matter can be destroyed or created. So that Hajj wouldn’t be gone, it’s just be… in a lot of different places. That’d be fun to watch.

The moon would shoot of into space without the earth’s gravity to hold it.

Of course, the material that made up the earth would remain, so it might keep in rotation, but the rotation would fluctuate like mad…

or it would float to mars and stick to it’s gravity.
the earth’s explosion would most likely trigger a implosion of them milky way anyways, slowly bringing all the planets towards the sun

I doubt it.

Perhaps, the earth would explode, some pieces would shoot off, hit Venus and Mars, have them all smash together, 3 for the price of one… Mercury would get mixed in as well…

the lack of the earth’s gravitational pull, combined with the pieces of the earth that, mind you, would fly endlessly untill they hit something, which would move if small enough and eventually fall out of orbit, would end up causing the other planets to move either inward or outwards.
if inward they would simply spiral into the sun, if outwards they would flow into each other’s pull and make a new, sunless, solar system

its an interesting question, in a literal sense its a bit daft but the underlying answers are very important. I think the problem is is that religios texts such as the bible were finished many many centuries ago and no new text is being writen. If we were to go out an colonise space then we would need to add to the religion we already have cus basically the bible is an account of the first few thousand years of civilisation in the eyes of the people that dwelled then.

When the earth (our home planet and place of orogin is gone) i’m sure everyone will know what direction it was, there will be devices invented to mark which direction it should be should it have still orbited the sun, but then that would be just pointing to an empty space, the actual earth itself will be star dust, so maybe we will take parts of the earth with us. I’m actually thinking now that in the last years of being able to survive (in 6 billion years, that is a long time even in planetary standards) on earth, we will have the technology to take these things with us…

BUt then of course you have to wonder whether we as a race will still survive or will some already wandering civilisation delete us from the galaxy, it all depends on whether we may actually be the most advanced civilisation in out galaxy, and the reasons we cant make contact with other civilisations is becuase they havent had radio technology long enough for the radio waves to reach us…

i’m getting sidetracked alot here, i’ll stop…
