From the "Darwin's Ghost" book I mentioned earlier, I found this at the end of Chapter IX ...

"Sixty billion people have lived since man appeared in modern form. Io excavate every graveyard - and every fossil site - in the world would turn up no more than a minute fraction of their remains. The lost armies of the dead have a moral for evolution. They are a reminder that the geological record is a history of the world imperfectly kept and written in a changing dialect; of this history we possess the last volume alone. Of this volume, only here and there a short chapter has been preserved, and of each page, only here and there a few lines. However grand the monuments, and however firm the hope of eternal life, in the depths of time a Pharaoh in a pyramid has as little chance of immortality as does a soldier stamped into a bloody swamp. The history of ancient Egypt, of the present century - and of the existence of our own species - will soon be gone forever: but what fragments might remain may allow some future historian to guess at the forgotten struggles that built his own world."

When the Earth gives up its ghost of mankind, hopefully man will be onward to another universe. I think we have enough time to find the way.

The Man Made Global Warmists have their own eschatology that replaces Christ with the Earth god.

Thanks for the recommendation. I found it online as a pdf at this location. http://sunsetridgemsbiology.wikispaces.com/file/view/Darwins+Ghost.pdf
