The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

Sustainable civilisation is not going to look like this civilisation...
"Experiments are the only means of knowledge at our disposal. The rest is poetry, imagination." Max Planck
Ultimately scientific history has already answered this question. Even if the earth's human population were only 1.000.000 people, the potential for a meteor to hit us is there and it is simply a matter of when, not if. Not to mention that 99% of species in our planet's history are now extinct.
Having said that, barring a cosmic disaster, we are not doing anything differently than any other species. We are exploiting our resources and we will pollute them to the point they are no longer usable. We will over populate to the point it is unsustainable.
We see this over exploitation behavior in other species as well. While we do have the opportunity to pull back and extend the ride, extending the ride is the only thing we can do, the ride will end eventually, even for the entire planet AND our sun for that matter.
In our current state as a species, with all our tribal politics and religion distracting us from this common interest, can make one feel gloomy. However, we as a species in the past, have gotten over other hurdles. I am hopping our species can pull it's head out of it's collective ass.
