The Doomsday Clock is now set at merely two and a half minutes to midnight—nearer to a global catastrophe than at any time in over 60 years!
The Earth will continue to go along until it is vaporized by the sun or something. The end for human modernity and ease is not the same thing as the end of everything.
Is the world out of control?
Whose control? We were never IN control. Nature does what it wants.
Countries with a history of nuclear weaponry are frantically upgrading their old bombs and creating new deadlier ones. Countries that once had no mass-destruction capabilities are now able to destroy huge swaths of humanity.
And a lot of those countries who think they should use it will simply kill themselves faster. Radiation doesn't just affect Ground Zero. Look at what happened to Japan with just a nuclear facility accident. The US West Coast will be eating glowing fish for decades.
The bottom line: Sickness is out of the control of humans, and the end of it seems to be nowhere in sight!
Washing your hands will solve a lot of it, plus proper sewage treatment. It's really that simple.
Factories continue to pollute earth’s atmosphere. Millions of people die every year from breathing contaminated air.
Well, we'll need someone other than what we've got right now. That one's practically offering factories more money to kill us all.
Not sure how killing off customers helps the bottom line in business.
And we are running out of fresh water. British science author Robin McKie aptly warns: “The world faces a water crisis that will touch every part of the globe.” Politicians admit that water scarcity is largely a man-made problem and that it poses a grave danger.
There are actually lots of options for this, from gray water to desalinization plants, etc.
Storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, typhoons, and earthquakes bring about devastating floods, crushing landslides, and other types of destruction.
I don't think anyone should live within at least 10 miles of a coastline and we should mandate better building codes, especially after a storm damages stuff and we have to rebuild anyway. We should also create artificial barrier islands. A lot of coastal damage can be traced to destroying the real ones.
Will nature deal humankind a deathblow?
No. Some idiot will still be having children. The population may be reduced, but not even God can apparently kill off humans 100%.
Surely you can think of other grave threats to our survival.
I'm terrified there will be no season 3 of the Exorcist.
Kind of how I see it, we were never in control. We just have to make the best out of whatever situation we happen to find ourselves in at this moment.
John Hammond: When we have control again...
Dr. Ellie Sattler: You never had control, that's the illusion! I was overwhelmed by the power of this place. But I made a mistake, too, I didn't have enough respect for that power and it's out now. The only thing that matters now are the people we love. Alan and Lex and Tim. John, they're out there where people are dying.
I talked with them in the freezing cold for at least 20 minutes with nothing but a sweater in the 15 degree weather.
Next time, wear pants too.
I believe that the world is controlled by an evil unseen force that the Bible calls "demonic".
And I see no use in being loyal to God if He's so easily outdone by a mere demon.
Not to mention its greatest threat.
I can guarantee you Earth will win. Not even all the nukes going off at once will vaporize the entire planet Alderaan style.
I have heard hunters can now hunt by cameras and don't have to even be physically present.
True, but hunters have to put themselves out there to grab the prize. If I were the family member of the downed animal, I'd wait for that.
And given the videos I've seen on youtube, nonhumans see drones and stuff as a threat and attack them, so they're not completely defenseless.
There is literally tons of it. Its a great initiative......but we have to do it every year because the same litterbugs are tossing away just as much as they always have.
Maybe they need to borrow those hunters' remote controlled guns?
LOL ...
Jesus will have subjects or citizens from sea to sea, from the rivers to the ends of the Earth.
Jesus will rescue the poor one who cries for help, and the lowly one who has no helper.
I just wish Jesus had a better work experience section on his resume. He doesn't seem to have done much while here the first time.
Why? because their blood is precious in his eyes.
We're not precious now?
Those who are causing the main threats to the human race are the human race.
But maybe a good population reduction is what the species needs. A culling of the herd, as it were. Rich, poor, healthy, sick ... it won't matter when Earth gets serious about ending us. I think overpopulation can explain our hostile natures.
Who does the buck stop with?
You'd think the One in charge.
Genetically modified foods are poisoning us
No they aren't.
those sciences that develop industries that pollute the air, the water and the soil
Science has less to do with it than legal regulations. We could force them to comply if we really wanted.
When man creates monsters he can't control, you have to wonder about how intelligent he really is, don't you?
Everyone was thinking the SAME thing back in the A&E days.
"Gee, God, those little nearly hairless primates can't even follow one simple instruction. Maybe go back to the drawing board?"
Didn't Jesus want us to make the difference? I don't think it's a good idea to let go of the steering wheel and proclaim "Jesus is in control". I'm sure he'd frown upon that type of faith.
