Phalen vs. Carlin

Goerge Carlin has similar views to those of Phalen. Phalen thinks that we are not going to be able to evolve enough by the time that it is necessary and that ou fate is in the hands of the earth right now. Natural disasters and disease seem to be what he thinks will be our undoing. Largely these events might be caused by us. George Carlin's views are similar in that he believes that we will someday not be around because the earth will make us extinct. He does not think that we are cuasing it, in contrast to Phalen. Carlin believes that we are just "fleas" on the earth and it will someday get rid of us. The earth has been around for 4.5 billion years and he does not believe that 200 years of the production of plastic bags are going to do us in. If anything will do us in it will be natural disasters. But Carlin does not see these natrual disasters occurring in the same respect that Phelan does. Carlin believes that the earth is almost like a being in that it is self correcting and can fix itself. How are we supposed to fix the earth when we can even take care of ourselves? Carlins puts it. He claims that the earth is fine, but we are screwed up. they both have similar views, they are just taken and founded in different ways.
