I agree. I enjoy the storylines, but I never really found it believable or desirable that Star Trek's world should represent our future. Roddenberry had too much left-wing stuff in the political/religious commentary, and often some of the philosophical and pseudo-"scientific" ideas painted a reality that is too absurd.

The 00's version of Battlestar Galactica, I think, is a more grounded perspective of what a "futuristic" world would look like in reality (albeit not an ideal one, given the holocaust of humanity). Although even that series has a couple of things I think would be a stretch (faster-than-light jumps, robots with human physiology and psychology, etc.) And the "theology" of the show's God mythos leaned a little too much on the cynical and ambiguous side.
