In my opinion the tsunami is a massive tragedy of course so many people died and respects go out to all of those who died or were affected in any way by this disaster, but the problem with us is that we are so selfish! Human's see themselves as the greatest beings on this earth - that's a topic for another day - and just because some of them get killed we all start talking about nature pejoratively.
The fact is, is that we need our plate tectonics to shift which will cause earthquakes which will cause tsunami's when occurring underwater, if we had no plate tectonics we would not exist. Which would you prefer: a life without a load of Japanese people that barely make up a percentage of our vast total population, or no life at all (and with this I am appealing to the inherent selfish beliefs we all have)
"An absence of plate tectonics would indicate that the planet is geologically inactive from the lack of heat from inside the planet. This would mean that the atmosphere, along with surface water would not exist due to the lack of shielding from solar radiation, which is provided by the magnetosphere, which is powered by the spinning of molten material in the planet's core. Mountains and active volcanism would not be present as these are generally the result of plate tectonics. Any life as we know it, if it existed, would probably be located under the surface." - Answers.comSo I hate to say it but these deaths are simply collateral damage from natures activity, and without that activity we would not exist. So all you atheists who claim this to be proof of no God, regrettably you are wrong seeing as the way nature works is sort of the proof bible bashers cling to.
Of course people are going to be offended by this and ask "Why don't you have any compassion, you wanker?" but in truth I'd rather lose your respect than the respect of the people I see on a day to day basis. Also, your comments are going to be much more interesting than those people I know - out of which only a handful come close to being classed as an intellectual - so voice your opinion please, I will welcome your similarly verbose comments with open arms.
It's all relative, in the wake of a tsuanmi we are just ants in the wake of the bowl of water my dad once threw on the garden path to get rid.
ReplyDeletemy friend, i am agnostic verging on atheist. i don't see a tsunami as proof of either.
ReplyDeleteit's just nature. pure and simple.
religious zealots take everything and run with it spouting "PROOF PROOF PROOF" all over the fucking place.
jeeeeeezus.
just live your fucking lives.
