People predicting the END OF THE WORLD. Scaring others even when many of the predictors time of when the END will actually happen has expired? I guess my question is, " Why do these people think they are so superior of giving an estimated time of all humans demise and the end of the world as we know it."

I thought this concept up a couple days ago.
If you don't believe in the right God you go to hell... but all of the people who never heard about the right God go to hell anyway but it wasn't their fault.
So if you devot your heart and soul to one religon then you will go to that heaven or whatever. If you don't believe anything or are not sure about religion when you die you are re-created until you die with a religion.
I hope that makes some kind of sense. But is this a real religion or just a way to think? But whatever it is I am calling it Sarcasmic. (sar-CAZ-mic).

Or is Life (and any manifestation of associated “consciousness”) ultimately just as random and “meaningless” of a phenomenon, as far as the Universe is concerned, as the dynamics of inanimate objects?

...... self-proclaimed existential evidence (e.g. “I think, therefore I am.”), while clearly lacking the ability to fundamentally influence the fate of the Universe/Being?

Is nothing or something? I'm not sure if it is something or nothing. It might be something, because nothing is no-thing, and something is a thing. But, it might be nothing because nothing means no affect. I really would like your ideas. If you could explain why you think it that would also be wonderful.

Hey everyone, this is going to be a very hard question to describe, but I'll try, (and please don't tak me as arrogant):
I know that all the poeple in the philosphy section of Y!A are very deep, and serious, i always get great answers whenever I have questions, so i thought i'd ask...
I was once talking to one of my best friends [a girl] and we started to get all deep, and philosophical, and talking about serious things...or at least attempting to.Yet, when she was talking to me, I could tell that she was being very serious about it all, but it seemed so...well, 'shallow'. I mean, you can never tell if it was just because she has trouble communicating her thoughts, even though they might be profound in meaning.

So my question: do you think humans, in general, at one point of their lives, think deeply and philosophically?For instance, I always wonder if lets say, Jessica Simpson has ever had a deep thought in her life..or are some people just-plain, incapable of thinking that way?

If you are against please give reason.
Recently i have been through many debates/discussions regarding Global warming and the greenhouse effect and I seem to have a very extreme point of view. Everybody is saying that we should reduce green house gas emmisions and all, but i ask why. I dont question that global warming is destroying our planet, but why should we worry? why do we want the human population to continue existing? Why dont we all just die in year two thousand whatever when the earth is destroyed? What do want us humans to live longer for? What do we need more time for?And who will have time to regret what we have done? how can one regret after one has died. So instead of spending money on reducing global warming, we should make our and others life better for whatever time we have. Why cant we spend the money on reducing poverty? What are we leading towards that we need to achieve befor the human race is wiped out.
Please,no comments on grammar,spelling or punctuation.
