How long until...?

So how long do you think it will be before humans can create new universes? Like in a particle accelerator or whatever.

(Actually a better question is how long until they start teaching courses on "Universe Creation 101", and begin selling universes at Wal-mart)

Edit: Aaargh, this was supposed to be a poll.... oh well.

We've destroyed all threats and fixed all imperfections through technology and medicine, we aren't evolving any time soon.

Truth. We've taken natural selection out of the equation and in doing so, effectively halted our evolution.

Guess we'll need some artificial selection instead. Yay for eugenics! Or we could just re-engineer our genome.
