I totally disagree with that statement. Humans can most certainly damage
the Earth! I believe it is possible with modern technology to slam the
moon into the Earth and say "bye bye Earth".


And I believe in the Easter Bunny.


The reason for extreme concept is that I have a good idea how
Aluckyguess thinks. To Aluckyguess humans cannot damage or even destroy
the earth itself, even if they want to. He or She is correct that humans
are just a tic in time for this planet. The planet itself will continue
with or without humans. Unless we humans turn the Earth into another
asteroid belt.

However my position is, lets do what ever we can to help this plant and
the human race survive (preferably in comfort) as long as possible.

oz, a Heinlein guy


Heinlein does indeed out rank Kurt Vonnegut. I do like them both.

In Vonnegut's book "Cats Cradle" a humorist book and a Hugo award runner
up, ice-nine was a product that solidified the earths water supply, thus
ending all life on earth.

When it comes to global warming and other topics, it is often useless
and futile to argue with a person of a strong religious belief. Because
in the end their argument will eventually come down to this "God will
fix it someday".


Thass true. But, thank FSM, there aren't any of those on this board.
