man vs nature.? who will win the race?

Man will lose by destroying nature. Nature loses too.

Nature will win. If we use too much of our limited resources we will move on to a new planet, which will easily take maybe a couple hundred more years. Global warming, tsunami's, climate changes, etc. are more of a problem that is happening now, in closer times. Some say we may all die out in 2012.

Ending the Earth means what? Mankind could end it for man and many other living organisms, but it would not end the Earth. Nature is always the final winner of the physical world.

Nature was here four billion years before mankind even began to evolve and will be here another four billion years after we are gone. The planet is not in danger; we are.

In physics terms, it seems that nature will win (Heat Death). In statistical terms, however, humans seem to be the better bet, since we operate too quickly for nature to catch up.

Nature has already won.

The world, because of the abuses we have done to our planet, will end on December 21st 2012.

Man cannot "end the Earth."

He can end himself, and many species, but he cannot destroy matter on planetry scales.

I hope nature does.

only the sun's expansion will end the earth.

Nature. It has been here longer.
