Ravings of a mad man.

I disagree...
All Man's achievements and inventions last long after that Man has passed...

yes, and is it not ironic that the very message posted was only possible because of the hard work of dozens of generations of scientists and engineers for both computers and the internet. kind of funny that the very thing created by the hard work of these dozens of generations would be used to relay the message of how that work was meaningless.

Excellent point BC.  I was about to say the same thing but you beat me to it.

BTW,

I read about how they choose a pope recently. Apparently, the Cardinals choose a new pope. I just had one question.

Why the heck does a baseball team get to choose?

Do you think a hockey team would do better?

All Man's achievements and inventions ,  will be destroyed by man as he will destroy the

earth in eon's to come

Man cannot and will not ever have the capacity to destroy Earth.

True, but we can certainly increase our capacity to destroy our brothers.

i did not mean the body of the earth , the sun will destroy that a long time down the road



man will destroy the land and every thing that grows as they are doing now , fresh water will dry up some

time it has started to do so now , pollution , waste of materials and waste of energy is putting a burden on

the earth . what will happen when oil , gas , coal runs out which it will do

solar energy will never meet the demand , nuclear is fine for the countries who can afford it what about the

people in the other 100s of countries and islands , i know , the big countries will open the borders and take

the people in     no they will be left to die as there will not be enough food and water to go round

ok , i must go and lie down thats the end of my rant 

fresh water will dry up

hahahaha

haha

It's called the water cycle. See, water evaporates from ANY body of water. Normally, the oceans. Which are of course salt water. this water vapour then goes into the sky and is guided by the wind and currents. Eventually, the vapours condense and fall as precipitation. This is how fresh water exists at all.

something for you to read , i know how freash water is made i learnt it 50 years ago in school

what about the fuels etc i suppose they will never run out and of coarse man will fix that when it happens

Well this thread went downhill fast. I thought that this was a discussion about charity and love for people.

Anyway...
@ Patio: What I think Juice was referring to was the fact that one day the entire human race, and even this planet will be dead and there will be no one to remember our deeds. When he "said" man he was referring to mankind. This reminds me of the classic, Neil Armstrong quote: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind", where he should have said: "one small step for a man".

 But, who's to say, really? Mankind may outlive this planet. Our technological evolution is advancing exponentially. There may come a day when mankind has spread though our galaxy.

Our technological evolution is advancing exponentially

Oh? Is that so?
How do you explain that Microsoft updates are increasing exponentially at a rate that exceeds the increase in bandwidth  At current rate, the updates will take up over 50% of all bandwidth available in 3 years and 4 months from now.

I have yet to figure out how most of this affects our support of our fellow humans...

Exactly what i was saying and if we colonize the universe, human life is gonna turn into a star wars movie or like the Halo game series in which humans will go extint cuz of a life consuming force... or we will all die from the every thing that created us god... or the big bang theory in which all matter contracts back into the speck of dust in which the universe was created from. or we can go with the Juice theory in which the day we prepare to leave Earth forever in space craft, a slight slip on the self destruct button on the largest ship causes the fleet to explode in chain reactions and kill every human being .

Any of those can be remotely possible.

not if you have a remote understanding of physics.

umm.. yes but the other two are still ok...
