I have to question the environmental and social responsibility of any person who believes that the end of the world is coming soon and that god will make everything OK again.
If people are counting on a magical fix from above, then where is the motivation, or even the necessity to be responsible now?
Is this coloring the judgements of our political leaders, most of whom profess a faith in god?
Only the atheist knows that this is our earth to protect for future generations.

Uh, possibly. But politicians run the world and they only care about the next election. Our lifespan is average 70 years and I have met few who care to ponder beyond their grand children's lives. It would be "cool" if we all loved God and each other but sadly it is a fallen world and people don't. Also I question if human beings are making progress. I think we peaked in 1969 when we landed on the moon. There are few signs that when the world ends even the rudimentary provisions of potable drinking water and sewerage will be enjoyed by most people so progress is not a word I would use to describe the human journey; technologically perhaps but morally............... I think not. Every generation needs a vision but visionaries without God are as the blind leading the blind. it is hardly progress to spend 468,000,000,000 bucks on destroying a small spec of sand in the middle east is it?
Let everyone who is troubled by this do something for someone this week who they never otherwise would have helped. Let's admit your sentiment is noble and let's all start here. Today.

We definitely might know the solutions for at the instant's questions. i.e in technology, What led to the large bang. what's dark matter and dark potential. How will universe end, large give way or large rip. Why there are cosmic constants i.e. why is velocity of light what it truly is. in drugs, the thank you to grow to be immortal. in technicalogy, maned shuttles would be released to end of the image voltaic equipment, at speeds quite a few circumstances than at the instant. they're going to use image voltaic potential as gasoline. might might have discovered option to potential. (i'm not asserting option potential, i'm asserting option to potential) Boundries of world places will fade away. international would be like a 'one united states of america' people would be all equivalent. end results of progression would be shared to all guy style, when you consider that there'll no theory-approximately worldwide places. (could desire to you have imagined 40 years returned that US and Russia could have joint ventures in area programmes ? think of what can take place 1000 years down the line)

Start with America ..... the superpower that contributed to the most and refused to sign the treaty to reduce global warming. If this keeps on growing, we might not even have another 1000 years of human progress.

Most people in the USA can't think beyond a few weeks.
God's people on earth do think especially of the next 1,000 yrs. We realize man can't survive by themselves anywhere near that long. Only the long promised Kingdom of God taking over all earth can solve the problems we have created. Under that government, we will have a 1,000 years to grow back to perfection as Adam & Eve originally were. We will need it.

Everybody DOES care. It just depends on personal perspective on exactly how they feel about it. Some people want to take us back to the dark ages, some people think we'll be in star trek, some people think we'll blow ourselves up, some people think nature will destroy.
Honestly, everybody does care already.

as far as i am concerned it is better if we think of our immediate environment & society & try to save them. that will take care of next 100 years atleast. if everybody does this then the human progress is made.

God has it all figured out..
How do we know what will happen in the next 1000 years?? We are not capable of making those decisions..
Show me a Nation that has survived that long, certainly not the USA.
We can't even agree whether global warming is real or not.
And if it is, look at what the war and all the war machines are doing. Trying to fix cars is nothing to all the jet fighters and bombs that are exploding. How's that for global warming and that is not gonna stop.
Politicians and Govts do not care for the most part and they only do what makes them money or gets them re-elected. It is a noble idea, but people just won't do it..

Back when my generation were still kids, we were promised that the future would hold amazing wonders...
SO WHERE IS MY FLYING CAR?????
Hun, you can barely get people to care about what is going on around them right now...let alone 1000 years from now.
Most people can't see past their own backyards...

I think everyone does care about the next 1,000 years; however, it is how they go about it that makes the difference and is the cause of tensions
