a civil war on Earth, it would negate a lot of firmly held beliefs by some communities. Even secular groups might consider it imperative to stop any further contact.
- ajuc 11y agoMeh. Science negated more firmly held beliefs of many religious communities and nobody fought wars over that. They either adapted, or deny all evidences. There was no Great Religious War Over The Theory of Evolution or over the age of universe. People prefer to live in denial. Much more convenient than dying in a war (indirectly acknowledging beliefs you don't like).
