Tim_Lou, Many people wonder if the human species will go on forever. Most, I would hazard to guess, don't eally think so. They hope so, but they aren't overly concerned about it one way or another. Ask yourself why not? Is it because Man is fundamentally flawed? Is it because we are not meant to find utopia or the Garden of Eden? Is it because we are meant to be the "rulers" of the world we live in? Perhaps people don't believe we have any choice in the matter, that it is "human nature" to ruin this world with our stupidity, shortsightedness, and greed? I believe we can live forever as a species. But we need to fundamentally change the way we answer the above questions. Human nature is not to destroy the world. OUR CULTURE's nature is to destroy the world. We need to look to other cultures and see how they do things right. Check out http://www.ishmael.org Or read "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn. It'll make you think deep about your question. Peace, Dave
