If human kind were wiped out as well as all evidence of our excistance leaving only the amish...?

Question

Would people in 2000 years be just as disillusioned about the bible as we are now, and do you think people would have developed more or less than us now as a race? (The human race I mean). What other issues would this raise?

Also, do you think current events should be stored and recorded more carefully than they are now?

Amish people are christians right? just checking lol, I want to get my facts straight!

I meant wiped out by a natural event not by people. Gosh!

Answer 1

firstly if the human race were to be wiped out the evidence of their existance would still remain... truth always leaves a physical imprint on the earth... the amish because they are christian would probably be one of the first cultures to disapear.....

Answer 2

That scenario seems almost impossible, no wait I have heard it before, your good old atheist comrade Pol Pot tried to change Cambodia into a farming, low tech society, and in the process murdered all educated and religious people. So as evidence shows we can expect an atheist to do some kind of thing like that, and said person would probably wipe out all religious. So you would not even have to worry about the Amish surviving (the Amish are some of the nicest people in the world also).

Read Ayn Raynds "Anthem" it is a similar theme to your post.

Well that scenario seems impossible about a small group of people surviving a near apocalyptic natural disaster, o wait I seem to remember a story involving Noah, which due to the Black Sea deluge theory is a likely historical event. Then again the Amish must have either been doing something right to survive a natural disaster that the modern world was wiped out in. Or maybe they have you-know-who on their side.

Answer 3

The Amish are definitely Christians. If the only record of mankind was left by the Amish, it would be one of a peace-loving farm life, surrounded by people who support each other in every way imaginable. I think it would make a wonderful picture and I wish the rest of the world looked more like it right now.

Re current events, I don't think it makes much difference. The history of man hasn't changed much, just the tools and weapons.

Answer 4

The Amish enforce their moral code by the practice of shunning. You don't talk to the person, you don't feed them, you don't buy or sell with them, you pretend they don't exist. So every time someone displeased the elders, they would have little choice but to leave the community and strike out on their own. These exiles would eventually form their own communities, and in 2,000 years you might very well have a situation not unlike what we have today.

Answer 5

Implied in your question is that they'd have managed to preserve the Bible itself, hence reference to other humanity. Considering the Amish's history, there are plenty among them who would be disillusioned and start off on their own. If their religion became the core means of ruling mankind, it would be little different, in time, from what we've got. Part of what keeps them "special" now is their ability to keep themselves "different" from all of us outsiders. When there are no outsiders, they'd have more issues to deal with. Your model would work out approximately the same for any religio-centric group in the same scenario -- any Abrahamic-religion - based one, anyway.

Answer 6

This will haappend at the end of the world.
Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Mat 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Mat 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
Mat 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Mat 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Mat 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Answer 7

Eventually,,,in the far distant future...the human race will indeed vanish from this planet only to be replaced by another creature as yet unforeseen. Like the dinosaurs we study now this new race of creature will study us and come to their own conclusions of how we lived and survived. And they will be amused by some of the things they learn...including religions.
