if you believe that, so be it. but i believe you're underestimating nature. planets are strong. really, really, really strong. to think that humanity and its toys could wipe out life on this planet... lets just say you're giving humanity a little too much credit.
and if we die... so what? we die. death is change. change is death. the two words are interchangeable. we change because we need to.
don't get me wrong. i, too, believe that a lot of destruction is in store soon. not only common sense but just about every prophecy and prediction out there says that many people are going to die within the next few years. even modern science supports this. population growth always follows a pattern. our population has exploded, now it is plateauing. next comes the purging, be it by disease or war or famine or otherwise. but i find it unlikely that every human being will perish. maybe the more enlightened souls will survive(as tyler durden put it, "ours is a spiritual war.").
i have faith that humanity will realize its mistakes before the end. call it a cleansing.
humanity still isnt understanding its mistake, and its makin some since about so many years. dont u get the fact that money controls everyone? and yes, planet is pretty strong. planet will certainly not die, but we will.

But eventually, like all living things, the way we know the Earth will change and that will mean our species will either adapt/evolve or we will not be participants here any longer. Beyond that...just look at the universe around you--galaxies colllide, stars go nova...a billion things can occur. Yet these are all natural events... Nature, the Mother of us all.
God...a being of infinite and boundless existance. Far beyond our scope of comprehension. So the debates continue. Whos right, whos wrong, which religion takes precedence, and so on. Call this being Allah, God, Yahweh, Jehova, whatever. The best a person can do I think...is have faith in something, and to realize we arent just some accidental event. Neither are the animals, the very earth, the sea or space. Personally, I 'feel' that theres a supreme being, that I call God, but I nor anyone else will ever prove there is such. Thats what faiths about.

Buddism? Do you like to eat insects?
Insect make up a large portion of Southeast Asian diet, as well as India, China and Japan.
In America we just stuff our faces and don't think twice.
I kind of went away from Christianity for many reasons. One being that people are bred to believe the Christian values. Kind of like in Brave New World, they're born to believe societies ways. It seems as though most people who go to church, either shouldn't be there in the first place because it's pointless for them or they go because they feel they should go. This is a big issue for me because I live in a rich white neighborhood where image is everything. If people don't see you at church they begin to wonder.......
To be honest with ya'll, I just dont' know yet if God exists. I've always been told he exists by church or what not, but NOTHING in my life explains his existence. Maybe one day I'll find the path I was meant to walk, but I'm just living life as of now :).
IMO, there's truth and happiness. You can be a very religious person, which is a commitment. I believe it's a jaded view on how things are, but faith produces happiness. Then there's the way of truth, which just says that there is nothing there. I'd like to believe there is a heaven, but I honestly don't think it exists. I think mellow mood made an awesome point by saying that humans created religion to explain the unexplainable. I think that's very true. If I was to become a Christian again, i'd probably be a Deist. That's the way I was steering.
watch the matrix series, while imagining the following:
humans = nature
machines = humans
then it becomes a very powerful metaphor.
