Sorry for offending you. The "drinking vodka" was totally unnecessary, but somehow seemed to fit with the sentence. Alcohol is not relevant to the discussion at hand. Apologies.
Just because there are more important things to learn/test than philosophy doesn't make it completely baseless. Given your sentiments, it won't be possible to convince you otherwise, so this is a moot point. Btw, I did not trivialize science in any way. Science is critical to our understanding of physical reality (though string theory rides the line of what you would consider bullshit).
I obviously didn't word my question regarding religion correctly. It is obvious that for those high in the religious hierarchy, religion is a way to impose and maintain their power. Such people are probably smart enough to understand that this is all unfalsifiable. The commoner isn't so smart. They are willing to believe in religion because they are not smart enough to imagine any other alternative, yet at the same time, wonder about their existance. Why/how are we here? Religion offers a crappy, unfalsifiable answer. You have no answer, other than "it just is".

You mention a good point: most religious nuts haven't thought about what living in heaven for eternity will really be like. I think most of humanity will not like heaven too much.
If God exists, I think he'd want us to use our heads.

Can it really adapt infinitely, or does it reach some sort of limit like a logistic curve?

Why would you expect his questions to come from a middle schooler? Just because he neglects to capitalize words?
