Is the human raced doomed to extinction?
 

Overpopulation, super volcanoes, comets, meteors, nuclear winter, global warming, a new ice age.

So many possible ways for us to be wiped off the face of the earth. Are we doomed, or will we be able to survive through technology?

Are we doomed?
I sincerely hope so.
A greater waste of potential is hard to think of.

We will survive for as long as we strive to better ourselves and recognize and encourage the best amongst us rather than just point out and think too much about the worst.In saying that,we have to think about the worst as being the absolute worst that could happen and be aware of all dangers that that it brings with it.I don't know if anyone ever said that to you in a professional envoirement but panicking doesn't take you anywhere else but into a panicky zone you'll never get out of.Face the facts,deal with them and
we can at least look forward to a better future for future generations of human beings.

Yeah, I think humans are crafty enough to survive all of this stuff.

We can learn to live in harsh environments if need be.

everything dies eventually, so in the big picture, NO, the human race will eitrher eventually die out or replace itself with an evolved race, unrecognizable as humans.
or we will all live in outer space. that will be cool. or we cuold all live underwater.

we're doooomed, doooomed i tell you !

:-p

it could happen in 1 2 3
or slowly
but why worry about it ?

our race has fucked up this planet
now we're slowly beginning to realise that and some of us even try to 'do something about it'
but some things can't be fixed
or prevented..

maybe we're just the new dinosaurs
only more destructive


fact is you can drive yourself crazy pondering about what might, may or will happen

but why think about it?
if you're walking down the street tomorrow and you're struck by lightning or a brick lands on your head it's over too
just try to have enough fun before you're gone, no ?

erm... i'm gonna stop the morbid talk now
ignore this reply mmkay, haha.

:)

I don't know if I had the money I'd build a bomb shelter. I think it goes back to my first fantasy when I was 13 that I would someday be one of the last men on earth and have to do my part in helping repopulate.

some quotes from 'Generation X - Tales for and accelerated culure'

"Use Jets While You Still Can"
"The Love Of Meat Prevents Any Real Change"
"Overboarding - Overcompensationg for fears about the future by plunging headlong into a job or lifestyle seemingly unrelated to one's previous interests .i.e. Mc Jobs"
"McJobs - A low-pay, low-prestige, low-dignity, low benefit, no-future job in the service sector."
"Now Denial - To tell oneself that the only time worth living in is the past and that the only time that may be interesting again is the future."
"Diseases for kisses (hyperkarma) - a deeply rooted belief that punishment will somehow always be far greater than the crime eg. ozone holes for littering."

If you spent more time reading more interesting books than that,i think that you'd worry less about the extinction of human beings as a whole.Just a thought.

Life will most likely survive for another billion years, until the sun becomes too hot and makes the earth unhabitable.
As for mankind, not that optimistic, but I suppose somekind of technological revolution could happen and save us. Maybe the civilization as we know it will vanish within the next few hundread years, but from its ashes another will rise.

Like what?Robots?Who makes everything spin on this planet?Animals or man and woman?What fucking nonsense are we talking about here?

Does this look like a man who'd let the human race go to shit like that? Look at him! He's nursing a lamb!

Pity he doesn't exist to start with and i'd rather rely on myself rather than on others.

I had forgotten that you are of course, Porkmarras, action man.



Seen here in full survival mode, Porkmarras can survive extreme weather and time itself due to his non-biodegradable coating, tough boots, giant gun and muscles. Action Man laughs at mother nature.

You forget that men of actions sometimes have brains.Remember brain?The colour?The feel?The size?Hmmm....

Less reliance on technology, more reliance on Jesus. That's the key.

That's a joke,isn't it?

Seek Him. Trust in Him.

Don't you notice that action man's head is seemingly too large in proportion to his body. It's full of brains.

He looks weird. That's what science and government have planned for us.

Hmmm...and?

Science and government don't go hand in hand.Where was that stated?Who by?Jesus?

No. That's just science and government (mainly government) wanting us to be faceless tools.

Thank you Hip Priest.I've known that since.....well,forever!To throw science and government into the same pot is an act of madness,though.I can perfectly undertsand the needs for some sort of alternative belief that might arise in the disaffected but science is science.It explains in the best possible way(when it does) what is and what needs to be done.

It often does. But there's the arm of science funded by government, doing research for government, that will always be working to help government. That goes hand in hand, and It's not always a bad thing. Some scientists find cures, others find new ways to kill people.

Well...yes.There is.

Perhaps I should have said 'that's what governmental science has planned for us.'

Here is a nice collection of end-of-the-world scenarios.

Destruction of the state as a concept and an organ of control is ever so much in many a person's mind everywhere.The reality of doing so doesn't involve random acts of terrorism but serious studying of economical phenomena as well as a keen belief in science rather than fatalist religious views.I'm not totally sure why i'm talking about this stuff on here but it's always a pleasure doing it with you.By the way,Caludia Brucken is in a duo with Paul Humphreys of Omd and not him of Heaven 17.Their album is out next week.

Go figure, porkmarras action man gots the brains.


Some scientist find ways to save the earth, others find ways to blow it to pieces. according to this the financial resources are biased on the side of the latter mentioned. Obviously it's not this black and white but you get the idea.

423 billion (defense) vs. 24 billion (general science)

Imagine if it were other way round.

Well,you said it mate.And?

Christianity isn't really fatalist though. It holds human actions to be of utmost importance.

Thanks for the Claudia info (she definitely did something with Glenn Gregory though). I was reading a piece in our local paper about OMD (they're from round here), and how they'ree back. Apparantly the other one was responsible for some Atomic Kitten hit.

And I'm not really following this discussion. I couldn't care less about the mankind. Actually I'd be happy to be a robot; my heart is already cold enough.

Are you drunk or on some drugs you can't master?You keep on replying to a thread as a....wait!A robot,you said it!A robot!Yeah!

End of human existance....

Sooner or later, we've got to go. I don't know when, I don't know how, but I just can't believe mankind will be around for ever.

I hope that we're doomed to extinction. I have very little love for the human race.

He he.

yes we are. and we caused it. nobody cares about stopping it, stupid oil companies still work because of the money. assholes

That is quite a website.
