The world is always headed towards catastrophe, eventually. If you consider human life on Earth dying out a catastrophe, that is. It will happen. We just don't know when. But it will be in less than 5 billion years.

Eventually the world will run out of fossil fuels. Then instead of driving 5, 10, or 15 miles to work, people will have to drive 1, 2, or 3 miles to work. That is because even if you choke off the skies with wind turbines and choke off the farm land with solar panels, it will not be able to match energy consumption levels currently with fossil fuels. Some people will be able to dry their clothes on a clothesline, people in high rise apartments probably not. That will not happen in 11 years, at least not for 100 years, more likely 200 years. Is that catastrophe enough? Another sort of catastrophe is the breakdown of the social order. Government will lose its control. That is because atheists believe there can be social order in atheist societies. Communist countries maintain control, but at a cost. Their science is far behind ours, and life is unusually regimented. Many people prefer less regimentation. The irony about science is that it does fail miserably when people have a blind faith in it. That is why science is failing in the United States today. Blind faith in science is worse than any other blind faith. People who continue to believe there is some way to explain the origin of life with mere accidents are far too mentally deficient to run any science. Mentally retarded atheists will destroy the world by first destroying its social order. They believe religion is the problem. They believe religion is the cause of war. They are obviously very severely mentally retarded. Every major war since Darwin has been an atheist war. The wars before Darwin that appeared to be about religion were about the territorial ambitions of the aristocracy. With the founding of the United States and the snubbing of the aristocracy that became obvious. The earliest wars were about the wild folk on the fringes of civilization seizing the wealth of the religious and orderly. Atheists often like to point out the errors in Christianity. Christianity does accept the people born with little or no traditions into the Christian fold, giving atheists an excuse to blame the Christians. Other religions (and some Christians) perform better than atheists in many easily measurable ways. They are better educated, earn more income, have more stable marriages and in other ways are better citizens than atheists. Atheists are currently trying to blame the war in the Middle East on religion and failing miserably. They keep trying to stir up trouble in the United States where there are so many Jews and Arabs living in harmony. Some attempts to blame religion make no sense at all. Was Robert Card trying to blame religion for anything? No, there is no war between Jews and Arabs except in a very tiny land dispute in the Middle East, most likely fueled by militaristic atheists. They are people who believe in violence. They believe there is no other solution possible. That is certainly not religion. Will we have to get along with less energy in the distant future? Yes. Is that the worst catastrophe facing humanity? No.

Christianity does accept the people born with little or no traditions into the Christian fold, giving atheists an excuse to blame the Christians. a) Christianity is fiction, even if you believe Jesus, was a real person. It was rooted in a Jewish sect that began 200 years before Jesus was born and had its own messiah. Then later appropriated by Jesus, then heathens, Greeks, Romans, and bastardized a 100x along the way. b) Christian sects agree on very few things, including the reason Jesus died (spare me your own indoctrination) and yet the world still spins. c) Your post generally is nonsensical, uneducated, and full of lies.

No. Don’t get your panties in a bunch. It’s a shame that kids today know so little about history.

Catastrophe in the sense that we can't afford, or sustain, to have some issues or matters go on their current (and foreseeable) trajectory without encountering some major problems at some point.
On the plus side, we're quite likely on the verge of a massive revolution in our western societies. So that will be our chance to set things right to ensure the perennity of our civilizations and culture.

Fictional characters such as yourself should be more careful whom you call fictional. Look at your following then look at the following of Jesus. See a difference? There is a good reason for that. Your post is typical of social media, nothing but a reason to have it shut down.

Catastrophe as in a world war? Very unlikely because those in power want to keep it and all of that would evaporate in a Nuclear Apocalypse.

Assuming for a moment that you are attempting a reasonable comment, I have no idea what you're trying to say. But petroleum is used for a lot more than fuel.

Polyesther (polyethylene terephthalate) is made from petroleum. Most of your clothes are probably made from it.

See "polyesther" in my previous post. Please stop acting like you know more about it than I do.
