1. Man pollutes the atmosphere.
2. The Earth opens a hole in the ozone layer, killing the polluters.
3. Balance is restored, and the ozone layer is renewed.
1. Man creates a great industrial society, producing "greenhouse
gases" that cause global warming.
2. The Earth's atmosphere warms, melting the polar ice caps, flooding
much of the industrial society and killing many.
3. A mini ice age follows, as the earth regains its balance, killing
off the remainder of the polluters.
If we stop to consider what end result we want, such as freedom from
hunger, disease, and oppression, we may be able to achieve our goals.
We focus too much on how to get what we want through political,
religious, or other socio-economic means.
And wasn't it the end results that God was after when he told us how
to treat each other, whatever our religious background?
