Well, yes, the Earth is constantly renewing and changing itself. Such beauty as I saw it today on our family Autumn hike. The changing tree colors can only be described as a splendor of nature made for eyes.
As well, Last evening the Science Channel had a beautiful documentry about plate tectonics and what's happening near the horn of Africa. An ocean being born, Earth changing before our eyes, ect. Good stuff.
But it's not the cycles of eons and eras we have concern for, clearly it is the mere decades and centuries ahead. It's also not just the Earth going on her merry way, but our human creations which are our own responsibility.
Indeed remaining educated and intelligent, that is key, but not just for having some witty facts available for disposal or debate. Having accurate knowledge about the enviroment is the only way to properly apply responsibility for our own actions and consequences.
