This IS a live and present danger.
Is it worth considering?
The risk might be very low, but the consequences might be an extinction level event.
Or worse...
What people think comes down do a few key ideas and values.
- Is life special and holy?
- If so, should we trust in divine intervention from God, or do God expect human intervention from us.
- Is life just nihilism and hedonism... *where’s my bong*
Anyhow, we have a space program and they didn't.
I’d just say this... as a believer in God, His book tells me that mankind has been around less than 10,000 years. In that time, never ONCE, outside of a Hollywood movie, have we had a cataclysmic disaster by asteroid.
Why the panic now? Because Hollywood writers put the notion out there in every 3rd movie they produce...
The Book also tells us how it will end here. No asteroid collision, if I’m reading it clearly.
So, I just dont believe we have any reason to worry about this. But that’s me. To each his own.
