Life After People

The History Channel has produced a documentary entitled "Life After People" that I just recently watched. It was fascinating!

The film is a hypothetical exercise of what would happen if people vanished from the earth. How would the impending nuclear meltdowns go? What would happen to our domesticated animals? What would the timeline for the decay of our man made structures be? How would the earth adjust to our lack of pollution?

Beyond just being interesting, I thought it provided a unique insight into our creation stewardship responsibilities. Thinking about how the world reacts when we aren't around, answers some questions about how we ought to be living in harmony with nature.

If you get a chance to catch it, I highly recommend it! Here's a trailer. You can watch the whole film broken into sections on youtube.
