A Darwinian Rapture

It's also obvious that the folks we have piloting our communal bus are, at best, in denial, and at worst in cahots the those with vested interests in staying the course. They'll tell you that there's plenty of oil, food and water. That it's more important to keep the world's artificial economic systems greased and humming along than worrying about critters, like owls and fish. (BTW, such folk don't consider themselves critters.) They're solutions center around economic "growth" --more trade, more commerce, more travel, more drilling, more mining, more, more, more.

Of course that can't happen, and it won't. Mother Nature will simply clean house as She has so many times before whenever the Earth's systems got out of whack for one reason or another. And She doesn't give a fig what Dick Cheney or the American Enterprise Institute freemarketeers think, claim or want.

And, unless someone pulls the emergency stop cord, and soon, Mother Nature will make sure Dick Cheney and George Bush's kids and grandkids -- along with ours -- get front row seats to the Darwinian version of The Rapture.

your right, but....

You are right on the money Stephen but while one's view of the world's condition might be pessimistic, for many the same conditions are very optimistic. I find most of my answers in God's word and yes contrary to what many think, God does, shortly now, have a change in store for the earth. Consider just two scriptures.

2Tim 3:15 reads, "But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away."

Rev 11:18 says, “We thank you, Jehovah God, the Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and begun ruling as king. But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time for the dead to be judged, and to give [their] reward to your slaves the prophets and to the holy ones and to those fearing your name, the small and the great, and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.”

Yes we are close to a change, note that it does not say God will step in after the earth is ruined and gone but while man is in the process of ruining it. Both these scriptures apply today.
