It’s true for individuals, and also for mankind as a whole. Relocating doesn’t solve our problems—because we are the problem. We can’t run away from ourselves.
God gave us Earth to care for: a vast, abundant, protected, resourceful, hospitable home—and look around: “All the trouble” here shows that we are not capable of successfully governing ourselves.
Musk is right that mankind is in grave danger of wiping itself out. Matthew 24:21-22 say our most destructive war lies still ahead. And it will be so violent that it would extinguish all human life from Earth barring a literal miracle. But if mankind were able to colonize another planet, we would only bring “all the trouble” with us. If we successfully built a Martian colony like the one Musk envisions, the 1 million people would soon split into factions and devise plenty of reasons to war against each other. It would not take long for Mars to have its own World War i.
The good news is that God has an inspiring plan for changing and healing the human nature that creates so many problems. Once He accomplishes this, then man will be able to fulfill the true potential God has given us. At that future time, mankind will have the chance to inhabit not just Mars, but the whole, vast universe!
