There are poisonous creatures, and ferocious animals on earth. But humans are EVIL, which is far more deadlier than any poisonous snake, or ferocious animal.
What's the definition of evil? For me, evil's no more than a disagreement about the way things are supposed to be...
I rather believe that there is only one creator of the universe. This creator had made many worlds, watched each flower or die, and gone on to make endless worlds beyond. A gardener did not weep for each blossom that fell. And this world is left for human and all other life-forms to make of it what they could - a heaven or the pit of doom by their choosing.
But men's only a small part of the whole thing, and they're not really here for very long. A man's born, lives out his life, and dies in so short a time that mountains and stars don't even notice him as he goes by. So why care whether will our species be walking on this very earth a million years later... maybe yes, but i'm sure they will not be known as Homo Sapiens...
But one thing for certain though... nothing lasts forever.
