Hi. Sorry, I didn't mean to be condescending to any one person, and what I posted was certainly not meant to be name calling. I did not assume you were a male or a female, I didn't think it mattered.
I'm not going to argue about the comment about reading more books than I ever could, because there is no point. Internet arguments serve no purpose other than frustrating all parties.
I could debate this... but honestly I have no time, and there are many issues here... social, political, cultural....
I just don't understand why anyone would think the world is coming to an end at a specific date. It doesn't make any sense. As for irreversible damage....? Damaged from what? If every human on the planet disappeared instantly, how long would it take the earth to "recover"? If you say "millions of years", I say... again that makes no sense.
If I wasn't clear (I'm finding hard to express what I mean to say in words), what is the pristine state of the earth? Like, if everything was perfect. That's right.... there is none! The earth runs on its on cycle, and no matter what we do, we're only a blink in it's existence.
I'll leave it at that for now... I might not reply again for a long time, I will be gone for a few weeks soon... so if you get no response, it's not me being ignorant.
