    THE bible says the earth is decaying not evolving
    You shall not lie
    You shall not murder
    You shall not commit adultery
    You shall not steal
    it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the JUDGEMENT:
    whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the LAKE OF FIRE.
    Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,but by me
    that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord SHAL BE SAVED
    ARE YOU SAVED?

  5. SynergeticsCollab Says:

    Isn’t Enriquez’ idea of “Homo Evolvus” similar to Buckminster Fuller’s concept of evolution in his 1981 book “Critical Path”? My memory is that Fuller argued Humanity “owns” the planet and that we need to take responsibility for managing it moving forward. Maybe this idea’s time has come?

    why are people like you posting here? but i guess your right like look the internet is great but on the other hand it alows people like you say stupid shit

  7. sexyloser Says:

    And when you’re lying on a hospital bed dying from cancer or some virus, will you tell the doctor not to give you any medicine because your body is better than anything they can give you?

  8. sexyloser Says:

    If you were dieing from a bad heart, would you refuse an artificial one?

    FUCKING MORON! YOU MAKE AL GORES LOOK LIKE A SMART HONEST MAN.

    Fuck you you chubby fuck. Life was created vai evolution, you fucking idiot!

  10. tubexplorin Says:

    it is a nice way to move towards a totalitarianism

  11. TurtleDrunk Says:

    yet another moron thinking so inside the box…how about, who cares if the dollar crashes? who cares if the dow is worthless? economies are measured by profits, and profit doesn’t mean shit. I’d rather measure by quality of life and solidarity. I can grow food in my neighborhood and live through barter. I’m tired of sending my hard work up the chain of wealth.

  12. PreservingLiberty Says:

    #2) Fee Market Economics: Exponential growth on behalf of creative destruction allowing humans to evolve much more rapidly without the inhibition of government.

    Combine these two elements and the trends Juan talks about will no longer matter and evolution of man will redirect into a far more superior being coexisting with nature/God on the most intellectual way.

  13. PreservingLiberty Says:

    Pseudo Technological and Economic TRENDS of our modern era are the result of human influence on nature not the other way around.

    IF YOU ASK ME WHAT I THINK GOD WANTS FROM US:

    I WOULD LIST TWO TRENDS WE HAVE YET TO COMBINE:

    #1) Permaculture Design: The fundamental course of man is to be the intermediary between nature and innovation using critical thinking to reason between the two.

    * ( Permaculture creates the base for government to dissolve and free markets to flourish )

    well homo evolutis will be a big war

  21. ezdzbztz Says:

    Nature is abundant and energetically efficient. The form of motion on which we depend nowadays for building and development is the one that Nature uses to destabilize and break down. Nature uses another form of motion for creating and rebuilding. It is hardly surprising then, that our technology is self-destructive and unsustainable.

  22. ezdzbztz Says:

    Only a radical change of consciousness so that we recognize our sacred role as part of Nature and begin to follow her laws can bring about a new way ahead for Nature and the planet.

  23. ezdzbztz Says:

    If our technologies were more eco-friendly, there would quickly be a manifying effect of balancing in the environment, a positive feedback effect, because Nature is always seeking balance. We seem to think that working with Nature is like trying to be honest in our lives (a nice thing to do). In fact Nature’s need for balance is so powerful that once we began seriously to work with true ecological integrity, we would be amazed how our efforts would be reciprocated and amplified by Nature.

  24. ezdzbztz Says:

    Everything is interconnected and the Earth is an abundant place. Give rise to Permaculture.

  25. ezdzbztz Says:

    * Earthcare recognising that Earth is the source of all life (and is possibly itself a living entity — see Gaia theory), that Earth is our valuable home, and that we are a part of Earth, not apart from it.
    * Peoplecare supporting and helping each other to change to ways of living that do not harm ourselves or the planet, and to develop healthy societies.
    * Fairshare (or placing limits on consumption) – ensuring that Earth’s limited resources are used in ways that are equitable and wise.
