according to the weekly world news, the rapture will occur in the year 2000...

those are some pretty good predictions kong, concerning global warming, i think that half of the problem is the burning of fossil fuels and the other half is a natural warming cycle.

concerning alien life, yes, i would say that is accurate, i doubt we as a species will live long enough to find intelligent life unless they find us first. also, the first life that humans find is likely not to be intelligent, but much more likely single celled organisms.

future history classes will refer to the entire time frame of fossil fuel dependence as some sort of industrial age

depends on the scope you look at things, a minute can be a long time, a whole lot can happen in 1 minute. in the big picture, 93 years is nothing. i think someone made an analogy that if the entire history of the planet was a 24 hour clock, our time on earth is the equivilant of 3 seconds.

only 3 events could happen that would allow this to happen, 1. the rapture, 2. a catastophic event that destroys the human population (and even in that event, that isn't a definate) 3. intellegent alien life finds earth.
