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.

cheers

a shit will have, long since, left for the stars"

It seems you've fallen in with the "Rapture" crowd. It seems odd that
the biosphere is given such short shrift, since it has been part of the
planet for the last 4.5 billion years. So losing it or a significant
portion of it can be construed as damage, especially when you consider
that there may only be a billion years left to recover before solar
heating does us in (the "editorial" us). Shame to lose it really, when
you consider that the ol' girl (Earth) could still be beautiful and put
off the inevitable for awhile longer, except for those
"who-ever-has-the-most-toys-when-s/he-dies-wins" idiots. We owe this
twisted vision to John Calvin. It is to be the reward of the "select".
But what can you do in a country where more people believe in the
"Virgin Birth" than evolution?

I am not in with the "Rapture" crowd. Have you forgotten one our past
discussions. I am an atheist. I will agree that my garden is the closest
thing on Earth that is a conceptual Heaven. Let's all pray, on my knees.

Our lord and savior Charles Darwin that is in the great compost pile. I
will sacrifice bugs on my alter in his name. I will also praise the
Saints J. I. Rodale and Sir Albert Howard of organic gardening. I will
send all weeds to live forever in the pit of burning hell. I will also
spurn the blasphemers that praise the use of chemical fertilizers and
herbicides. We will all meet again in the great compost piles of
recycled life on our blessed Earth.

Amen

Be careful of ANY lunatics, whether they seek a profit or not
