If you don't believe in Evolution, then why do you drive an SUV?

But, hey, God didn't give us the brain to think. I wonder though why God gave us a brain. But, at least at the end, God apologizes to creation for the inconvenience. Sounds like you don't understand evolution but believe in some undefined creationism. Our ability to be highly creative in our development of new capabilities came from a genetic mutation about 55 thousand years ago. That gene was propagated by evolution. It greatly increased the survivable rate of people that had that genetic mutation. Have they isolated yet the religious gene? It must come from the "Homo Ignoramus"...

If there are no consequences, they learn nothing. Puritans are rather rare these days. Technology is a very large part of our economy. But the solutions are right here right now. The bicycle is a reality, and if it weren't for all that fear, millions would go out and ride it. The bike does not even remotely meet the needs of people in this society. That is why it is a total failure in attracting people out of their cars. Sort of proves that punishment has not been very effective in society, but making a lot of money with technology has been highly attractive and effective. It's all about money, not technology. The bicycle doesn't lend to juicy contracts like the hydrogen car. Nonsense. Its not all about money. It is all about the bicycle being a total failure in meeting the needs of people. |

learning from history

The people there ended eating each other while their gods watched indifferently... "The people of Rapa Nui exhausted all possible resources, including eating their own dogs and all nesting birds when finally there was absolutely nothing left. All that was left were the stone giants who symbolized the devouring of a whole island. The stone giants became monuments where the islanders could keep faith and honour them in hopes of a return. By the end, there were more than a thousand moai (stone statues), which was one for every ten islanders (Wright, 2004). When the Europeans arrived in the eighteenth century, the worst was over and they only found one or two living souls per statue." Total crap. Nothing you have said is even remotely relevant to the present |

More arrogance in believe that there will always be a technological solution to the problem. Foolish human will learn otherwise during this century. Well we know what the solutions are now to handle the end of oil. Its just a matter of doing the work and planning to make it happen. Nobody cares about your masochistic approach since it is well know those approaches never work. Pride goes before the fall. We are talking about a lot of hard work and lot of money, not pride. You are talking about sitting around and doing absolutely nothing and just letting civilization collapse. That is the usual approach of highly incompetent people and invariable leads to nothing working. The world is not interested in your preaching of damnation and repentance. You have absolutely nothing to offer. |

The mutation that caused it occurred between 20K and 25K years ago and spread to many people. It is a guess of what it does. It seems to allow leaders to manipulate the thinking of large groups of people. Very useful in saying we are good, those people are bad, follow me to kill all those bad people. |

Even with slowing population growth, ecological collapse is practically inevitable. Pride goes before the fall. We are talking about a lot of hard work and lot of money, not pride. No, it is pride that blinds you to the limitations of foolish humans. You are talking about sitting around and doing absolutely nothing and just letting civilization collapse. That is the usual approach of highly incompetent people and invariable leads to nothing working. No I am not. Try to improve your reading comprehension. The world is not interested in your preaching of damnation and repentance. You have absolutely nothing to offer. And the world needs more figurative ostriches like Jack May?

Also, a change of clothes and a place to wash them. So you would need locker rooms too. |
