Our planet's survival is based on what the universe has in store for it. Is our planet really dying? The short answer is No! even though all living things have a finite existence.

To answer this question honestly, one must step back and take a long hard look at the big picture.

The scientific view takes an approach that focuses on a world in cosmic change. This planet survives like a living organism that inhales and exhales global warming and ice ages in a pattern or cycle that we haven't been able to clearly understand. The earth detoxifies and nourishes itself with constant atmospheric changes; a process allowing the end and creation of all forms of life upon it.

If you are pondering the question as to if the planet is dying than think of this: The planet Earth has no control of it's survival yet it will always continue to adapt with or without us. It has survived massive volcanic eruptions, massive surface freezing, Global ocean flooding, large meteor hits, nuclear bombs and of course, global warming.

It seems that no matter what religious faith, more and more people are becoming self driven to desperately try and understand why, where and how we got here on this beautiful blue planet. Due to our society and it's demands upon us we are innately poised on observing only what is right in front of us. Unfortunately, most Americans reluctantly rely all too much on the guiding media for their source of information making it easier to jump to conclusions and point the finger while making unqualified decisions. A case in point would be the Global Warming scare. Before jumping on this band wagon it would be wise to consider the sources of all information supporting it. But most importantly, do we have enough information to understand this phenomenon. My research tells that global warming is the precursor of an instant Ice Age. Maybe we should keep the Earth as warm as possible just in case. Keep in mind that global warming and any contributions that we may make big or small may only endanger us; not the Earth.

In conclusion, the Earth will continue to stand the test of time unless unforeseen demise comes from galactic forces or the universe decides to swallow it whole. Our days, I'm afraid, may be numbered.
