It is always possible, but I think I would like to see humans survive, maybe even spread to other planets before our sun is exhausted. I think it if we cut down on our population, and thus indirectly our resource and land consumption we can live in a good balance with the rest of the animal population on this world and still manage to further our technology and possibly escape our at the moment inevitable extinction.
If we are to be replaced with a new species then I also think it would be nice of us to leave the World in is good shape as possible for them. |

Now what did this discussion start with? a christian family and then overpopulation. Surely you deny that overpopulation is not happining now, that's fine, but where would we be if we all followed this ‘great’ christian example? What they are doing is wrong, it's an example of how you should not act. |

Here's a list of unanswered questions: - Scuzzy, dont you agree that balance in nature is being distorted by humans? - By the way (contra-question), there are humans who lack these skills/features, why are they in your view different from animals? - So what is your point Scuzzy, that it's ok for humans to take whatever they want? How can you live so unharmonious with what ‘God’ gave you? - But you are saying that it's ok to take as much as we need, and you do believe that we're not damaging anything at this moment now? And I'm the ‘kid’ who's been neglecting your questions over and over again, sure I'll bereave this thread of myself. |

The government has been using plenty of means to stop overpopulation. Just take a look at all the diseases out there and tell me they really dont have a cure for them lol. They make tons of money and hold down the population by not releasing cures for diseases. This is just my opinion as I always think the government is hiding something hehe

You have a thing for accusing people of being off topic so the way this relates to the topic is - the more people we have on the planet, the more resources we are going to need, which presents a problem in the form of potential resource depletion. |

Scuzzy, what are you thanking uBer for? Anyways, as far as I am concerned this little ‘discussion’ ended when you started to personally offend me, besides this is evolving more and more into discussin/arguing rather than debating and I'm not interested in that.

What if keeping a species alive means keeping them all in cages? What if we've already destroyed their entire natural habitate, and we've been unable to transplant them elsewhere to live? How much energy, pollution, waste, and natural resources should we consume to keep a species locked in cages for the rest of their existance? Also, why is it wrong, because of God, or because it makes some people feel bad to know they are gone? Second Question: Should man live completely within the developments he has now and the population he has now? Even if he builts no more structures, and takes up no more land, any increase in population is obviously going to require more resources (water/food), which take away from other species... eventually, even though we need them, they could die off. Is that an OK way to wipe out a species, because we need the resources as well? Third Question: Would creating new species through genetic manipulation and crossing make up for destroying other species? Scuzzy

The point is to not destroy vital ecosystems in the first place. From my own interpretation, when God says humans have dominion over the the plants and animals, that does not give us the right to kill God's creatures. We have become so separated from nature that what we do is now considered unnatural. We were not placed on this earth to destroy our biodiversity for the profits of our shareholders, but unfortunately that is what we have succumbed to.
