Quote:probly the most destructive thing out there

It\'s very foolish to think that we actually have an effect on the grand scale of the Earth and the Universe. Even with Nuclear weapons.


So far this century, the greatest disasters in the world, the most devastating have been natural disasters. Like I said before, anything else is a distant second.

I think it\'s foolish not to think that we actually have an effect on the grand scale of the Earth.

Or you\'re right, nature is bad, we should totally take it out now before it takes us out with those greatest-of-all disasters! Then Man can reign supreme over the universe!!!

Man is by far the most destructive force. We can destroy entire rainforests, melt polar ice caps, make inhabitable deserts out of fertile land, and kill every lifeform we know. And what\'s worse is, we do those on purpose. Nature is just nature. It doesn\'t do, it only happens. And thank god or whoever for it!

Entire rainforests mean nothing when compared to the entire earth. Nor does killing out all the forms of life we know. In not too much time everything will grow back.

However, if Nature wants to, it can make the entire earth inhabitable. It can make it so nothing grows back. That is a power not even man has.

True but man has the power of thought whereas the earth has not (unless you are a hippy ).

Let\'s say in the future we make it off this planet if time will allow it. We could most likely destroy earth if we had a reason too. That makes man a far more dangerous thing then an inanimate object, sure nature still has control over us. We are fragile beings after all. We are capeable of great destruction, if it hasn\'t happened yet then please dont wait around till it will.

While meant a bit silly this is in fact true to a certain extent. It will heal back alright but not in the same way we think. Other life might start and start over. This is of course if you call \'not too much time\' a couple of million years.

so what happened to the dodo?

In theory, and if nature had a will of its own, what Pun says is true. It would of course mean that the human race would be wiped out with rest of nature. I know for a fact that I and a lot of other people would rate this as something of a ?bummer?. Freedom without responsibility: a strange, modern day rightwing utopia that I just don\'t get.

AL: The Dodo died. Just like those dykes will if they keep up dyking!

Remember, everything is relative. The amount of time Humans have been around is very small compared to the amount of time the Earth has. And even then, our greatest accomplishments only happened in the last 100 years.

Also, don\'t overestimate the power we have. Even if we set off every single nuke we have (all countries) it would still not destroy the world. And soon after life would be back.

By the same scale pun, you could say that the earth has had a similar amount of \'force\' for a very very long time, yet the force that humans have pretty much exploded over the last 100 years.. Who knows what the future brings. :\\
