[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 4794818, member: 77939"] To be clear: I didn't read all the responses through 5 pages. I get the gist. All creatures are fallible nor perfect. Nor the Universe(as we know it). We have sentinent beings(as we understand it). And others that are considered "just a collection of cells"..... And the rest is just ....stuff......as we understand it. Or see it. I consider humans as just part of the "food chain". We happen to be on top(such as it is) for now. I think it would be quite natural for the human species to "go extinct". Through whatever means.......climate change, asteroid or even through Biblical references(if true and there is God).....war....whatever. Think about it: 99% or some such of previous species are extinct. Happens to the best of em. Ok. The OP's question is very subjective. It is hopeful....rainbows and unicorns stuff. But....given human "nature"....not very realistic. Anecdotal story: We enjoy feeding the birds in our backyard. We have several feeders. We have lot's of takers. We have a nice size property behind a creek. We also have all manner of wildlife passing through including feral cats. The feral cats "dine" on the birds on occasion....much to my wife's dismay. A discussion ensued about who deserved to live more....the cat or the birds. I submit both. Feeding the birds is not natural. The cat being there is not natural. Or is it? What's the procedure? The point is: what is "natural"? Is humans being mean and hateful to each other natural? I submit it is. In the "natural" world, there is a food chain if you will that provides a natural series of events that facilitates the circle of life(to provide a modern reference). A long way to answer the OP's proposition.......given human nature........the human condition.....the premise is flawed to the point of being impossible to speculate. To wit: even in a barnyard full of chickens.......there is a pecking order. Humans are just that-a big ole barnyard full of chickens. [/QUOTE]
