Hip Hip Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!! Launch of Humanity's Christmas Gift!!!!!
What does it Webb mean to ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION???
Best Christmas gift to humanity ever … other than the very first One!

The James Webb Space Telescoped launched a few hours ago! I am so incredibly excited. I ran to my computer like a 6-year-old to his stocking this morning!

In addition to what I wrote about a few days ago about the telescope, I also wanted to point out that Webb will be working in conjunction with the DART mission, launched last month, on asteroid detection (see below and this NASA presentation). This picture is my definitive proof that humans will save nature. I love my dog Finn (named from a love of both Mark Twain and Star Wars). Finn can protect us from Chihuahuas and Amazon delivery people, but Finn can’t protect us from meteors. The median life-span of a Bernese Mountain Dog is 7.17 years. The median time-frame of a 5 km meteor strike is 20 million years. That means Finn only has.2,789,400.27894 genetic opportunities to develop a brain that understands Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. Not likely. Finn, and all of creation, is depending on humans. We are the only reason nature has a chance at long-term survival.





----“It is simply a statement of fact. The Romans could have had the telephone; the Greeks could have had the cinema; the Babylonians could have had the automobile—had they been mentally ready. The laws of nature were the same in those ages as in ours, the same materials were in the ground—but the minds of the Ancients were not ready for those things, and so they had to go without them.” ― Emmet Fox

---“Our intelligence is nature’s defense mechanism. We might be her dermize, but ultimately we are her only long-term chance at survival.”
- Jed Anderson, EnviroAI

Protecting the Fate of Nature …
Human beings.
---“Our intelligence is nature’s hope. Humans appear to be nature’s ultimate defense mechanism.”- Jed Anderson, EnviroAI
Meteors hit earth. It’s never a question of if. It’s always a question of when. Nothing to fear. But on average, a collision with a 5 km object happens once every 20 million years. The last impact was 66 million years ago. That meteor knocked out ¾ of earth’s plant and animal species.
Humans have been hard on earth … but meteors have been much harder. And a meteor 60 miles wide knocks out the whole earth.

f If you are nature … which would you prefer?
Option #1: Humans hurting me as they evolve and develop technology that might save me from a meteor that will destroy 75% of me.
Option #2: No human technology. Just let me get hit by the meteor.
… If I’m nature …I prefer Option #1. Minimize the learning pain, but I like Option #1!!!

Email from earlier this year.

By 2050 …
human technology will evolve to the point where we are not only protecting nature from humans, but protecting nature from nature.
---“Humans are not the only forces in the world that can harm nature.”
As ironic as it might sound, the evolution of humans and human technology will likely prove to be the reason nature survives for as long as she will. In other words, without humans showing up on earth and beginning with our very crude and harmful technology to the earth, nature might not have survived for as long as she will in the first place. Paradoxical. Redemptive. Transcendent. Humans evolving to save nature. That’s a story-line that only God could write.






Now humans are heading into …
The Environmental Renaissance
