|:: We Are Growing Weaker ::|

when i was young my uncle would force me to go to to church every sunday. he would threaten and yell at me to go. the church people were really nice, but i felt that they were a bit close minded to ideas. because the priest of church was chinese, he gave the sermons in mandarin, and i couldn't understand what he was saying, so they made me go to bible study. i remember being that age and full of questions about life, death, religion, pain, suffering, heaven, and hell. i would ask all these questions and would always get a half answer which usually ended up becoming "you just have to have faith" answer. so unsatisfying...

later as i grew up, i began to learn about science and about evolution and darwinism. i truly felt that it made much more sense than just the simple fact that god created everything and then we were here. at least i can see evolution around us, specially in the micro organism level like bacterias and viruses. i became a believer of evolution and natural selection. all of which brings me to the point that, we as a human species is getting weaker.

the world is changing so fast because of so many factors but one of them must because the existence of humans. we have done so much to the world in the last 40 year than any other creature in the last hundred thousand years. with our massive energy consumption, and huge resources waste, we have caused all of this change in the world. and we have also brought more plague and disease into this world because of what we do.

but we humans are not able to evolve fast enough to keep up with the rate of change. why? because we have become so dependent on technology and modern medicine to do everything for us, that over the century we have grown weak against the forces of nature. in the past, natural selection would really weed out all the weak genetic traits and ensure that the strong remained. because of that humans kept on evolving with nature to counter any disease or change. natural selection keeps us evolving with time and keeping only the strong that can survive.

now we have all this medicine crap that is suppose to help us, but is actually doing more damage than help. the cold harsh truth of reality is (you don't have to agree with me if you don't want to about this) that the weak should not be allowed to survive. weak people who have poor genetic traits should get weeded out of the selection process, meaning they shouldn't be allowed to pass on their inferior genes on to the next generation. because this is no longer the case since we have technology and medicine to help these weaker people, we are screwing up natural selection!

and now as we can see, nature is changing at an alarming rate to try to keep up with the changes that we place on the planet, but one species is not conforming to the change; humans. we continue to eat up the world of its natural resources to develop stronger and stronger drugs that will prolong life. where in reality we are actually weakening ourselves and eventually we will run into or develop a disease that will be so strong that our bodies simply won't be able to fight. and we will all be in trouble. in fact it already exists, one of them is called AIDS and it's friend cancer.

i wonder if these diseases would have been so fatal if we didn't have all of this medicine and just let natural selection take its course?
