Stopping diseases?
Trauma-san:
Humans aren't powerful enough to destroy the world, it would destroy us before we would destroy it. Even if you're not a creationist, and believe in the big bang, then you believe that all life on the earth arose from molecules from an explosion. Don't you believe, then, that a force THAT powerful, would be able to rebuild itself, long after the earth had ceased being able to support us? Think about it. The human species would die off without the earth to support it, and then the earth would rebuild itself, just as it did during the big bang. So what's to worry about? That knowledge shows that the earth is far more powerful than we are, so why worry about our ability to destroy it? If you believe in the 'natural' so much, then you should understand by definition it would be impossible for us to destroy what naturally occurs.
If you believe in Creationism, then you should know that humans are superior to all other life forms, and as such we are meant to prosper on the earth, not kill ourselves off... and, you should also know that if we get too far out of hand, there is a day of judgement to stop that.
Timmeeeehh:
Well I gotta agree wit some points. The human body can't stay up with our evolution. Example: if you're on your bike, you're riding against a wall, you have some serious medical problems. Another example: Your eyes aren't "good" enough to see everything when you're driving your car, we're not adjusted to those speeds yet.
Also you've got things as fucking with plants and genetic things and DNA and shit. Why do we need to know what kind of diseases we're going to get? Do I want to know whether or not I'll get cancer when I'm 50?
The human is every day surrounded with electronics and metal. Is this really good for us?
Aight, you can think right now: "What the fuck man. I am healthy, fuck all that". But are we really happier now? What's the fucking point of this evolution? What's our goal?
Knowledge is cool, I agree, it makes life easier, but till where do we want to go?
I've just "freestyled" these questions, I haven't thought them over and over. But I think it's really important to think about these things and how you're gonna work with your opinions on it in your life.

I thought the USA had over 3x enough bombs to destroy all humans on the world....
A president was willing to destroy the world (or all humans on it, I've forgot) in order to destroy the communism?
And those threats with believe, and terrorists and all that. There might be one idiot who HAS the atombombs and shit to blow up this planet, and thinking: "It's beter to have no world, and to start it all over. So God (or who else) will be respected."
Okay, you can say: "so what when we start it all over?". I don't know, but I don't want to think about it. And I don't think any living person wants to think of it...
But what is your point?? I mean, I don't believe you won't give a fuck if we would start it all over. I think if you would knew it, you would be ready to offer your life to stop it. So your friends, relatives could live on.
Elevz:
I'm not saying we as humans are doing wrong when it comes to medicins (well, maybe we are when it comes to the healthy rare elephant being killed to create placebo medicins). We were born this way, for the struggle to stay alive as long as possible. Thing is we might have been born just slightly too intelligent, so that we could manage to possess the world and control things such as diseases and disasters, which were originally meant to keep the worldpopulation in balance. Look now, how many milliard humans are alive on this world today? At some point we do control life or death, and we can't help it.
Trauma-san:
Yall are missing my point, though, I think. You're saying we were born too intelligent, and that's maybe unnatural.
There was a meteor shower or whatever the fuck that killed all the dino's off millenia ago, that's pretty unnatural too.... but yet here is the earth, still here, and we consider what we know of to be natural. To a dinosaur, though... the earth is very unnatural.
So what I'm saying is... we don't have much effect on the world, it has an effect on us, it will go on long after we're gone, we can't do 'unnatural' things without it eventually righting itself.
