Anthony Barnosky, professor of integrative biology at the University of California, Berkeley, says the earth is reaching a tipping point. 

               He points to climate change as evidence and suggests that the way we are using the land has interrupted the natural order of things. Had he read the article in this month’s National Geographic about the unusual solar activity we’ve been experiencing, he might have realized that there is more going on in the universe than can be explained and solved by his peewee brain.  What vanity!  (http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2012/06/solar-storms/ferris-text)

Did he watch Venus rising last week?  That little speck, roughly the size of our planet, passed in front of our sun, 1,300,000 times as large, where a trillion nuclear explosions blast unceasingly.  Watching that should teach us, once again, one truth that God hopes we will hold fast to.  We are insignificant specks of dust held in the palm of his hand. 

Dr. Anthony Barnosky says we need to plan for the future, “for the long term in order to drive the planet in directions we want it to go.”  Thank you Mr. Barnosky , but I do not want some new version of William Burrows’ Dr Benway  or H. G. Wells’ Dr Moreau driving my planet.  There is nothing scarier to me than to let some PhD, or a group of PhD’s who are so full of themselves they think they can manage the universe.  Go find another planet to drive
