I find it funny that the people who cry over climate change fail to inform us that it is just this that has allowed for the wide diversity of life on the planet. They seem to promote no change is a good thing. What's next? Maybe continental drift is our fault! Personally, I think the carbon cycle will eventually absorb any excess carbon we manage to dig up and expel into the atmosphere. What changes the planet's long term temperature trends more than anything is the earth's eliptical orbital pattern around the sun and the wobble in its rotational axis. Even the effect of a huge volcanic eruption or massive meteor hit would be short in comparison. If we disrupt the planet too much then Mother Nature will take us out and life will go on like it has for eons. We will be a microscopic blip in the planet's time line. She has overcome much larger problems than us. It amazes my how much importance we humans put upon ourselves. Considering all the species that have come before us that have gone extinct, for us to think we are any different is ignoring the obvious. IMO, our extinction is not a matter of if, but when, just like it is for every other living creature on the planet. Sorry for the rant but I do feel better now. |

For me, what I said and my belief in God are not mutually exclusive.
IMO, too many people try to make the world fit the Bible and not the Bible fit the world. They also ignore the fact that man has reworked the original document many times to insert/change portions to suit their needs. Spike wrote: > That's not what the preacher says.....

Did you catch that I was spoofing? Like many ideals, if the two sides
could see that one thing does not necessarily mean that the other is not acceptable, this would be a much better world.

Yes, I did. I just couldn't resist one last mini-rant.

Undoubtedly we all miss this point. 100 years, maybe 120 if you're one in a billion, and what's that mean? Nothing. Multiply 70 or so largely destructive years x 6+ billion, and you get a mess. But in the grand scheme, it's nothing. What are you saying, that we're self-destructively egocentric? Not exactly a novel thesis. Self-awareness has never meant that we are at all self-aware. And I don't even put my credentials into my posts. > Considering all the species that have come before us that have gone > extinct, for us to think we are any different is ignoring the obvious. > IMO, our extinction is not a matter of if, but when, just like it is for > every other living creature on the planet. And that's quite an obvious observation, Mr. Sir, PE. > Sorry for the rant but I do feel better now. I'm ever so glad you do. And thank you for that textbook contribution. -- Wound Up ThunderSnake #65 |
