Not an issue, Islam is very redundant in it's laws at times of war and crisis. (basically all those things can be ignored if they are necessary to survive or have the energy to fight)./

I accept that, but instead of expertise or money, they may be able to provide some rare minerals or metals to assist with the construction of space craft.

is it ethical to leave those who do not believe in the end of the earth, on the earth if you know it will end?
how much will you charge them for salvation?
and one that is stripped away from them, do you then have the ability to disbelieve all of their beliefs? or would you still have religious pandering?

Because to do otherwise is selfish? We're all supposed to be in this hypothetical fight for survival together.

There are no resources on the moon worth having that can't be easily collected on the Earth, it's not financially viable. Hence why in a capitalist society, it hasn't (and won't) be done.
And doof, i've countered that argument more times than i could care to count. please could you come up with something that actually has sustenance? There's no such thing as human nature, we are what we make of our selfs. That's the beauty of sentience.
But like evacuating the whole world. In some peoples minds it's desirable. it certainly is not necessary for the future of the human race.

Also low mavity not so much a resource, but an incredibly useful attribute.
Funded by who? America? they can barely afford the war in the middle east let alone building bases in space
You're thinking in terms of money which is flexible, its about the resource wealth itself, why sell stuff when you can setup the infrastructure to turn raw materials on the moon into spaceships, electronics or whatever you want, it won't be as expensive when you have a whole bunch of company's trading on the moon with each other and later onto mars and the asteroid belt.

No silly, I mean in terms of evacuating the entire plant - not just sending a small number of humans into space
Why would we need to evacuate 6+bn people?
We would only need a few thousand to repopulate.
We, as a species don't need every religion or skin colour either!
I think of humans like ants

Since when?
The day the world end it'll be all the hippies left behind
that we know of (aprart from He3 as already stated).
I'm not sure I get your point.
might be easier to take a selection of pre screened and fertilised embryos
Saves having to deal with should we abort the genetically ill child?
And they'll probably be willing to take money/goods for said materials. (that or we'd just invade/bribe them).
eventually it will have to be abandoned. As it wont exist. I odn;t think anyone is saying do that before then.

Name a single other species that kills thousands of other members of it's species over trivial matters.
True, but a single export is never enough for capitalists. If demand falls then you're doomed.
And i love how everybody here is assuming that humanity can survive until the sun begins to expand.
Helium 3?
