T or F:  Without divine intervention, Humanity would have caused its own extinction by now?

What makes you think we will not kill ourselves off tomorrow? We're doing a pretty damn good job of it lately. I don't believe in the crap that person told you. I DO believe that we are well on our way of exterminating ourselves within the next 10-20 years. That's being nice. Honestly, it'll probably take less time, at the rate we are going.

its God, but God entrusted to us this world, we are His stewards, managing His creatures. But sad to say that we are destroying our mother earth, and so we are reaping of what we have done to our nature and some people still blaming God for doing it so...we should make a way to preserve and conserve our nature for the next generation.

The advent of mankind. Then the beautiful world in which we live upon would not be so ravaged and destroyed by our pride, greed and selfishness.

No, in fact, I think that Earth needs to get rid of us because all we do is screw everything up. We've compromised the ozone layer, created massive amounts of waste that will probably never go away, poisoned water sources, killed off other animal species and nearly depleted fossil fuels.\n\nIf Earth were a creature, humans would be its cancer.

The world was supposed to be created with the big bang theory so I guess God giveth and God can taketh away also.\n\nMaybe we might be hit by a large meteorite which was suppose to have been the reason why the dinosaurs were wiped out.\n\nI think more in the lines of all this bombing and terrorism will be the earths downfall. I think one of the countrys are going to hit the button of mass destruction and just nuke us all! (KABOOM)  Lately it seems to be every country for itself. Todays society are very inhumane and the people are like a mob of barbarians. They have all gone stark raving mad!\n\nWho knows??\n\nI hope it will happen long after I am gone.

Oh certainly not! This is the basis and beautiful process of life itself. I believe that Our "Father" fully intended the human race as a whole to become so much more than just human.

No.  Morals developed out of religion.  Care and concern for human kind evolved from man's relationship with God.  While I realize it's a source of fanatical rampages, it's also a source of good in this world.  Without it, people would be a lot worse to one another.

I can't tell you exactly how long we've been in existence, no one can. But to answer your second query with the way things are going i think we have two more generations of life left in us before total extinction due to pollution, religous wars or anarchy. Sorry, have a nice day.

Presuming this, without God, there would be nothing to compare to in the whole creation to Godliness. Thus eliminating the possibility of it. Since we know what Godliness is like, this eliminates the possibility that your question has merit. Since God is Love, & not a chemical process, this elininates the other question.

Well if you mean in terms of humans.  It would probably begin to recycle itself, Cars would rust, buildings would crumble from weathering, Animals would again flourish back home. and everything we thought about how to live would have to start from scratch if you believe in evolution.  But then again, earth has been destroyed about 30 times, from the results of asteroids, meteors, ice age and drought. but life did find a way right?... \nNow if you mean Earth completely empty of life all over animal or plant...  well then it would probably look like mars or a moon void of life and boring. with some clouds i guess.. Hope i answered correctly to your terms.

Well technically the flooding of the earth was impossible. if the entire earth had flooded we wouldn't have a class of mammals found only in Australia, and certain plants would have been destroyed forever... I mean really could you imagine a cactus under that much water surviving? But to get back on topic... If there is a god, and he is all powerful, the only reason for man to suffer is that God wants man to suffer... For to be all powerful would mean the ability to do anything, even the impossible... So no matter what positive results we get through suffering, God could have given us without us suffering... some of these results may seem logically absurd without our having suffered, but remember, he is supposed to be able to do the impossible, so no matter what reason someone gives for human suffering, we could have easily, without even a thought, done without it...

We would not have ever come into existence. If Eve and later Adam had not partaken of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they would have never become mortal, they would have lived forever (alone) in the Garden of Eden, and mankind would have never come about.  The entire plan of our Heavenly Father to allow his children to come to earth and gain mortal bodies would have been frustrated.  Adam fell that men might be, and men are that they might have joy.

You can thank Darwin for that. His theory of evolution Has lead more people away from God than anything else.

I cannot make sense out of your question, but if you are asking if these natural disasters were "acts of God," the answer is emphatically - NO!  He does not ever wish such things on people, nor would he do anything like these without prior warnings.  \n\nA good example to study is that of Noah.  Yes, that was a major "natural disaster," but the people had been warned again and again, and chose not to listen.  Read Chapters 6-9 of Genesis.  Also note what Jesus said at Matthew 24:37-39 - "Just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be.  For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away"

More people have been killed in the history of the world for religion than for any other reason.\n\nAtheists have been shown by testing results to be the most intelligent people in society.  They also have few children, so the resources of the Earth would be conserved substantially longer.\n\nA world of atheists would be the ultimate for intellectual thought, preservation of environment, and pragmatic realization.

Personally, I feel that Evil would have just had ultimate reign.  For creation to cease to exist, wouldn't God have to make it so?  It doesn't seem like God's character to just give up like that.\n\nThen again, God knows everything that is going to happen, so if he *had* bowed down, maybe God would have had another plan to fix the matter?

NO.\nCould be end of times for humans but not for Earth.
