He needs to read and comprehend the Bible - God’s Plan doesn’t require us to leave the planet (or save it) in order for us to go on. I suppose some who are beyond redemption might think it a way to avoid the real End Game...
why wait? the planet isn’t really fragile, but we are overrun by morons and leeches. good enough reason to leave now.
What is the point you are trying to make about getting your rocks off with 7 of 9, your post’s wording and picture leave me confused (and oddly sweaty).
Don’t worry about what I wrote, just enjoy the picture.
“OH Mr. Hawkin you who said,’Heaven is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.”
Wow, did he really say this? If he did it is on a par with what I concluded when I was all of fourteen years old: “Religion is a nice story pushed by old ladies and shutins to help themselves feel like they’re in the game”.
The merest glance at history shoots down his “afraid of the dark’ idea. Such people could not have brought The Word of God through time to us. Stunning that a man considered to be brilliant could have a blindness that is considered natural in a fourteen year old.
Source please.
Hawkings a dumba$$ libtard.
History didn’t begin until you were born Stevie.
Using the U.S. as an example, look at our population growth in just the past 100 years. Can it sustain the same rate over the next 1000? I doubt it unless drastic measures are taken to curb it.
People are living longer, more diseases are being cured and technology is increasing astronomically.
In the insect and animal world, nature has a way to deal with the over population of any species except man since man has had the ability cure most of the diseases that nature has tried to throw at us.....think small pox.
Stephen Hawking warns about global warming
Where I go, I hope there’s rum!
The key to long term survival of mankind is energy, not space travel. Space is mostly empty, dry, and freezing cold. Life on earth can be sustained if there is enough energy to produce food, purify drinking water and treat waste water. Even most pollution issues can be boiled down to an issue of energy. With abundant cheap energy comes the ability to do nearly anything. The issue will become who will run and maintain all this equipment? Takes smarts to keep energy intensive, complex machinery running smooth.
ALS, or Charcot’s Disease usually kills its victims within five years. Hawking caught it around 1962.
He must have the same doctor as Magic Johnson.
It's not just birth control. It's a cultural thing. As the population becomes more affluent and prosperous, birthrates decline. The biggest threat to this planet is totalitarianism, kleptocracy, and evils like islam, that keep huge populations of the world in a state of continual poverty. If we could see freedom across the globe, the 'problem' of population would eventually take care of itself.
That said, I do agree with Hawkings though not necessarily for the reasons he gives. An old quote by Robert Heinlein comes to mind: (paraphased from memory)
If mankind is to survive as a species, for all but a tiny portion of its history the term "ship" will mean a spaceship.
I anticipate escaping before the 1000 years are up.....
He is assuming of course that space will accept us. It wont.
