How Can The Earth Become A Lifeless Rock In Just 150 Years As The Movie Depicts?

If you carry on like that you're going to end up in a little dark dungeon with bars. Whether humans existed or not is not the point I was making, I was merely drawing parallels, I assumed you were above pre-school intelligence, obviously not.

I don't know how you can assume that. The population of humanity has only reached critical levels in the past 50 years. So no, your assumption is incorrect.

Again I am not saying that it cannot happen but that the rate you now claim which surpasses that of the movie is pretty skewed and has no scientific basis. And again keep in mind that unlike the movie people are switching to renewable resources and so on. As you well put it the third overpopulation is unsustainable of itself. Also when it comes to really dumb people even with all the advances we have they somehow always manage to kill themselves sooner or latter you really should check out the TV show 1000 ways to die from Spike.

Actually It does have a scientific basis, its merely without proof, which is fair as I've never known a movie to compell scientists to conduct extensive scientific reports on the future of humanity. Nonetheless, these issues are well known as certain threats to humanity, they just arne't out there which is why you've obviously ridiculed them as soon as they surface, like in my blog. To be honest, if you had one ounce of logic you could work this out yourself.

And I don't see millions of 'dumb' people killing themselves, but rather them becoming a liability that humanity won't be able to manage or sustain.
