Stephen Certainly not. We are supposed to live in an enlightened age, an age of technological advances,in medicine.....a species above all others!!
Unfortunate…moreCertainly not. We are supposed to live in an enlightened age, an age of technological advances,in medicine.....a species above all others!!
Unfortunately we are not.Despite all of the above we,as a species are destined to destroy ourselves. Look at advanced societies of the past.Rome fell,Egypt crumbled.We too face the same fate. Except our crumbling Pyramids will be tower blocks,our abandoned Arena,s will be sports stadiums. Look at the timeline of the dinosaurs,see how long they lived before extinction, compare that to OUR timeline which is just the blink of an eye.Will humanity still be here in another million years?
