Re: Mankind
Civilization is much older than we think and much older than scientist have predicted. Thus humans may have walked amongst dinosaurs and experienced ice ages and floods and here we all are still kicking butt. For sure in the future we will suffer somesort of catastrophe and for sure as a species will carry on and surviveRe: Mankind

Unless the sun goes supernova, or Yellowstone Park erupts, or we destroy ourselves with nuclear weapons.Re: Mankind
Re: Mankind
The Earth will cease to exist with the warming and expanding of the sun as its nuclear reactions slow towards the end of its life. That is if you assume it survives anything else which could happen in the meantime, such as asteroid impact or other astronomical event which could destroy the Earth - or destroy it sufficiently to make it uninhabitable.Re: Mankind

Re: Mankind
I'm with Realist a fair way on this: everything is linked to everything else. We have been given such an amazing life force and yet take it all for granted. It doesn't really matter much to me what the human race will eventually morph in to or where we might travel to. Barring a total wipe out in the next hundred years we could exist as a species for who knows how long. I'm rather more concerned how I will behave and change in the time I have left, thereby exhibiting one of the main failings of the human race - selfishness (or a instinctual survival mechanism?). 'To boldly go to where no man has gone before' - and to wreck the f****** place .
