The Earth stands on the brink of its sixth mass extinction and the fault is ours

It's all BS. Life is pretty good, overall.

See, this is what happens when you ruin your lands.
All those NPC's were trying to teach us a valuable lesson.

The problem is mass denial. We have thumbs and thus, a mechanical existence. This basically means one thing. In a universe that is seemingly infinite, we were never designed to wage war over finite resources. We need to leave Earth.

Its probably humanity's destiny if we dont drop the 21st century ball

Capitalism needs to go, or we go.

We're living in the final days right as we speak. Our generation is literally the final generation on planet Earth. Things are about to get very real on September 23rd when the east coast of the US is wiped out by the asteroid that's coming for us. This event is going to trigger world wide devastation. This planet is doomed and the only way off it is with Jesus on the New Jerusalem.

Are you people stupid? Look, I'm going to give you a secret. If you tell anyone, they'll think you're crazy. Even if you identify me, they'll think I'm crazy and it won't do any good. Additionally, I have no evidence to support what I'm saying, so even if I wasn't crazy, I can't convince anybody who doesn't want to believe. I dreamed this, so...

So here it's.... You know those UFOs they tell you about? BS, right? Nope. They're aliens, but they didn't travel here using traditional means. They warp space/time and travel between the stars and galaxies routinely. I can't really say more than that because I'm not in the loop. Earth is part lab, part reserve. They're actively changing our genome and even altering our reality on occasion. If they want us extinct, we'll be extinct, but they don't. They want us to rule our destiny--which is why their relationship with us so distant. They're giving us what we need genetically to boost our survival.

If we somehow cause armageddon, will they save us? Meh. Remember, they want us to rule our destiny. They're only giving us some genetic ammunition. They're not giving us guarantees. So my guess is, they'd let us kill ourselves.

There you have it. YOu can guess the rest, or maybe not.

Some of my guess are below....

As far as when we will make contact or officially recognize life from elsewhere, I can't be too sure. It'll probably be soon. My guess is we'll discover either ancient extant ET life here and/or in our solar system and/or we'll find living ET bacterial populations and/or at least ET viral samples. The details are blurry, but the whole universe will open up, as we realize life on Earth does not exist alone, never has, and did not evolve on its own either.

They watch us, or they watch our planet. They keep a record of all species on our planet. So no matter what happens, evne if s*** htis the fan, if they have a desire they can recreate it. They probably can record anything they want. Just imagine for a moment what technolony an alien civilization has if it was a million or more years older than us? Or maybe older? How far does the rabbit hole go? Anyway, they can record reality and put it on a tape and replay it just like we replay movies.

But keep in mind recording reality and replaying it back doesn't mean they're gods and do do anything. Recording something doesn't mean you udnerstand everyting about it. All you're getting is what reality feeds your recorder.

Lollllllll

Just looked at the links you posted more closely and it appears they all reference the same two studies.

Thought I'd post some alternative theories just for sake of science:

http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/20...ixth-mass.html

http://www.climatedepot.com/2011/03/...es-can-evolve/

According to these and other studies, species are being discovered faster than they're dying off, etc.

Not endorsing any of these claims nor your own. Science is harder than news reports with quoted one-liners from much longer-winded research papers.
