The World Without Humans

[Javalin]

All Problems Are Solved ;)

 

1. No wars

2. People can't misjudge me

3. People can't annoy me ;)

That thought as of late is appealing sometimes as I view life for me at times,of great pain, and things around me, and as I watch the westernising of Ireland attempting to take place, a world without parasites..la.. is very tempting,.mother earth at peace again...As Spock said.. "Beam me up Scotty. There's no intelligent life down here."

I'm ready!!!!

Sometimes I think it's going to be "the humans without world"

[exanimis]

I watched the same show that this thread was started about and that show was based on the assumption that all human kind suddenly vanished. Life is resilient and a lot tougher than we first thought. I don't think man will ever be whipped out completely, I don't think that concept is even in religion. Man will continue. It's possible that man could be reduced to a few thousand or even hundreds by disease and war but not completely destroyed.

 

I think that mankind will eventually outgrow this planets ability to sustain him. This planet can only withstand ten billion people. It took all of history to reach six billion in 1998, today we are nearly at seven billion. As food and fresh water become more scarce countries will fight for those supplies. Wars will be fought for fresh water not oil. Disease and famine will spread, people will be afraid to associate with other for fear of catching something. Cities will be the first to be abandoned as people look for food supplies in rural areas. The remaining people will become transient, nomads, bands of hunter gatherers. Because of the damage we have done to the planet, an ice age is inevitable. The ice age would further reduce the human population. By the time the ice age was over and the human race began to regain their footing, all memory and evidence of this age in human history will have vanished.

 

"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to relive it."

 

Mankind's industrial age and the destruction of the atmosphere would begin again, and who is to say that we are the first to reach this point?

Ok seriously now...As an Anthropology major,we have reached this point before..I didn't see the show, here in Éire, but religion aside for it has no place here in debates.......the possibilities, as we study all ancient cultures, the rise and fall of many civilizations..the earth can take only so much abuse..there may be a point of no return for the humyn species..it is naive to think that humyns are indestructibility, its part of the god complex, that abuses this planet, that humyns will always be around so they can do what they like..the soul, or spirit will, of course..but then perchance there are many of the billions of planets and Universes, out there, much better places for a soul to incarnate, or take form on then here.. and humyn forms, may not be the only form one can take on....to think so is also naive..

To think of the possibility, of Mother Earth, to say, destroy the parasites on her back..is indeed not only a possibility, but as the world ignores the warnings, and still does not take care of that ozone layer, for one, and keep unbalancing nature.. abusing nature and her creatures..if unity of all people doesn't happen... hate, wars and violence imbalances the energy of things also..the possibility...of the human species being wiped out, is probable, if a change of behaviour and course is not taken soon..Mother earth may one day show human beings, they can't keep repeating this cycle, of abusing the earth again and again, without finally, an ultimate consequence..possible human extinction as we know it..

Once humanity uses up all the recources and kills all the animals for food, the planet would be an empty rock. I literally mean a rock as in stone, meaning no sign of plants and water. Eventually the earth will start over, since it originally was just a sphere of stones. I believe that the earth is older than people believe. I think that life on earth has started over multiple times already.

If all humans in the world disappeared, the list below is what could possibly remain.

 

1. Me, because I'm not human.

2. Aliens

3. Vampires

4. The world would be my citadel and I'd have a hardcore harem of vampire and alien men to my disposal!

 

That's all I wish to say on this topic.

Exanimis, on what time scale are you talking about? as in 100? 1000? Ice ages are inevitable anyway, they will happen at some point, and there is little we can do.

 

Kresselack, I am not being cruel or mean here, but, there is no evidence to suggest that earth is older than 4.5 billion years.This age has been determined by radiometric age dating of meteorite material and is consistent with the ages of the oldest-known terrestrial and lunar samples. To believe otherwise is to ignore science, or in other words, the facts. The oldest known solid constituents within meteorites that are formed within the solar system – are 4.567 billion years old, giving an age for the solar system and an upper limit for the age of Earth. And how are we going to destroy all signs of water?! Consider how much water there is!

 

 

In a short space of time (geologically speaking) all human traces would vanish. Other than fossils nothing would remain of humanity. Humans would be merely a blip in earth's history. I saw te programme and the problem with it is that it doesn't state how humns will go, and this could have a drastic effect on what happens next.

We should always remember that looking at the future is a highly inexact art, just look at any 50's futuristic drawings.

[blazingakatosh]

It's not going to happen in my life time so I'm not worried about it.

I think you missed the point of the discussion.
