Great point.... considering we have detailed records for about 2,000 years and just look at how we have evolved in the last 100 years.... it's great when you look at the numbers to try and understand our universe...

So how long do you think it will be until we ultimately destroy the planet?

If we continue the way we're going, I don't think it will be very long at all.

Not only would the earth survive with out us, it would thrive. Some times I look around and really believe we are a cancer cell on this planet.
