Evaluate this

[Contemporary Protestant]

Because stewardship, its a belief that everything in my life is under my temporary control, and that I must use these resources to better my community. So in short, yes i believe in an afterlife but I'm not careless.

Well, as Neil DeGrasse Tyson said, the bad news is that humans will probably not survive a severe climate change event. The good news is, our planet will.

Carlin said it too.

Interesting! Great minds think alike :)
I had to check myself though, just now, to make sure I wasn't pulling that memory straight out of my ass. DeGrasse, did in fact also say that.

That is called servant leadership and good for you that you take on that view.
Unfortunately it can't be said for all Christians, and many others should take a cue from you.
There are plenty that genuinely believe we cannot screw this planet up because it is under divine protection. There are plenty that also interpret stewardship as dominion over the earth as in "I can dominate this earth to my will"

Lol even if you pulled it out of your ass, it would still be true.

Lanza is mainly focusing on consciousness and I feel he is giving it more weight than it deserve. He propose the consciousness in a spiritual level rather than in a evolutionary level. He has a lot of unwitting believers and, in my opinion, that is what gives him the weight he has. New york times allegedly, name him as one of the most three important scientists alive. boooooo....

I got to the "fine-tuned laws" and almost puked. But then Carlin made me all better :)
Just a bunch of Chopra-like crap. Nothing to make a fuss about. I got more ambitious things to attend to - nose picking, farting, struggling not to faint from the fart etc.

[ApostateLois]

Lanza gives no description of a soul. What IS it, exactly? What is it made of? Where does it reside? Is it part of the brain? How does it retain our personality, thoughts, and memories after the brain dies? What happens to it after death? I don't know how a discussion about souls is even possible without some kind of definition being applied to "soul."

[pioteir]

And that's what he's so good at. Chopra style bull smeared in quantum babble he has no idea about.

I never heard of Heisenberg until now

You need to get out more.

You need to get out more.

A side note to Heisenberg:  in the 1940's, several plans were devised to kill Heisenberg as he was heading the research into building a nuclear bomb for Germany. But none were really executed until 1944, when an agent went to Zurich, where Heisenberg were to give a talk. But after listening to his talk, the agent reported: "If I am right in my understanding of his true role in the German bomb program, we were trying to kill the one man most responsible for insuring that there would be no German bomb." He added, "this ought to be a caution to anyone contemplating assassination as an instrument of policy."

What will happen if humans go extinct?

To the Earth, a dying out of domesticated species, and a flourishing of wild ones, particularly large carnivores.  A gradual reclamation of its cities into the surrounding wilderness.  Dams would overflow and burst.  To the cosmos, absolutely nothing.

Is that even possible?

Yes.  Very much so.  A nuclear exchange, disease, climate change, and a large asteroid impact could each do the trick.

That guy or gal, did good evaluating Lanza but I think her last point is interesting, will humans go extinct?

Unknown.  The vast majority of species that have ever lived are extinct.  The human race is very atypical, with a (so-far) incredibly successful combo of intelligence and tool-making.  But on a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

It's bullshit.

8o what does this have to do with science or scientific evidence? Sorry but I don't follow.

Huffingtonpost is a religious so called news site. I don't put much merit in it.
