ummm.. yea. so how do you answer this one?

i've developed a theory of mine own from solid evidence, i find that it can all be directly related to what i read in revelations sunday morning. I'm 32 now, i've read every book in the bible cept revelations, that was till sunday. I see some obvious clues that it's begun, i'll drop a thread on it shortly.

Also, since i'm speaking of obvious clues, you ever notice that everytime there is an earth quake at a location on the globe there is at the same time reports springing up of rogue nations testing nuke's? The last one would be when the Tsunami hit Indonesia again last week, or the week before i think it was, and Condoleeza Rice just happened to be in China to discuss with China the future of Northern Korea and Irans place in the Nuclear Industry.

so yea, have a theory that coincides with the cycle of humans blasting themselves back into the stone age, but it is really the work of satan. You guys are really gonna love this. heh.

An interesting thought. More than a few science fiction writers have suggested such a scenario: a planet with life giving rise to multiple civilizations which extinguish themselves in a blaze of nuclear glory. One question that springs to my mind is "how detectable would our human civilization be after 60 million years of natural deterioration?". What with plate techtonics and the inexorable action of erosion, maybe we would be pretty hard to find 60 MY from now. Still, I would think that a dominent, intelligent species required for this scenario would have multiplied to a large number making it much easier to to have fossil remains. At this time it seems unlikely that there was a previous civilization.

As far as nuclear war is concerned, keep in mind that it is not an either/or proposition. There is the possibility of a bad nuclear war and a not so bad one. Heck, we have already had one and the cities are doing fine (I mean now, of course, not then). SO, I guess the big question is not whether there will be a nuclear war, but how bad will it be? Bad enough?

I would think it unlikely. The most dangerous time for a nuclear was was probably in the 60s when it was actually entertained. People tend to mis-manage technology earlier in the curve, not later. Still, a far cry from impossible.

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and wouldn't happen.
