Nothing could compare to Earth. Surely we live on the best planet and if leaving was a reality it would be heartbreaking.
I'm sad about what's happening to our world too LQ but maybe it's not ours. Perhaps we are just temporary residents. Given the amount of suffering from this latest natural disaster maybe it's not about us at all.
But how do we know, Annie? We have no knowledge of living elsewhere to compare.
I reckon over many, many generations, we would learn to adapt to our new habitat, same as the animals have evolved to survive in certain habitats.
I doubt we would survive somewhere else very long as we are at present, as we were designed to live on this planet, with this air and this habitat.
Over time, the weakest would die but the ones who survive would go on to breed and each generation would become stronger and more used to the changes.
Same principal as farmers, gardeners, doctors and vets who use chemicals on insect or parasitic life. The strongest survive the sprays and go on to breed young who are immune to the very circumstances that would have killed off their ancestors.
This is true, and that is why many antibiotics and animal medicines no longer work. The bugs have built immunity.
We would eventually have generations born that could withstand a planet vastly different to our own. Food for thought?
Well I had a good ramble there, and it makes sense to me even if it doesn't to anyone else.
