To title this video "God Won't Save Us" is misleading, and I'm disappointed with CBS that they would so boldly detract from the actual message here, which is, if we destroy this planet, it will be lost to us. And for what? Ratings? Shame on you CBS.

@GaFatBoy300 Logic tells me that that some huge random thing didn't make this earth or the people in it. Look at any and everything around you! the idea that someone could look at a tree or a fruit or the ocean and think that it all just got here by some huge random event seems pretty careless to me. There are over 2,000 bird species in North America Alone! and each is painted with different colors are in different shapes and sizes. I know that everything around me was created to point to God.

Worshipping the creation rather than the Creator. Typical with folk who think they know it all.

I think Jane said it best, "We destroyed His creation, why would he bother." She is partly correct in that God is not going to save this planet from destruction. However we read in His Word that he will recycle the earth or better said, create a new one.

@nicoleriggs93 you obviously don't have any sort of scientific background /face palm.

He's saying "think about the spaces that are being destroyed." It'd be a miracle if people actually thought for themselves in the U.S. rather than having someone do their thinking for them. There conservatives, apparently, who like DMB's music, but saying it's BS is only an indication that you're clinging to the delusion that this planet won't fix itself. Just as she has in other ages, Mother Nature will shake our arses off this earth and bring herself back where she wants to be.

@kardzfn21 Yeah i also dont agree with his politics, but if i didn't listen to music because of that.. then i wouldn't be able to listen to any music or i would be forced to listen to country.

Anyways, who's that old lady?

@bevscorner

My comment was ignorant. I'm sorry.

OH, COME ON PEOPLE! That's right, dave gave a hint of atheism there. SO WHAT. He is just thinking practically, is there anything so wrong with that? And he has a point- How can any of us say that we love god when we damage his greatest creation, earth, everyday? We have to realize that us humans aren't some master species distant from all others. As soon as we realize that every living thing on this planet is connected with each other in some way, we can start to save our planet.

Wait, is that Jane Goodall?

How long do you expect to live? The singularity may be coming soon. Technological advancement keeps accelerating.
