12. Hey God, why did you let the dinosaurs die?
Life would be so much more interesting if T-Rex were still roaming the street of New York.

In our short lifespan as humans we don't see much in the way of global change, but global change is the only constant. The climate has been much colder than it is now, and the climate has been much hotter than it is now. Florida was once under water, and will be under water again, and then dry again, and then under water again. It just keeps going on and on.

Animals go extinct and new animals evolve. Expecting that to change just because we humans are here to observe it it shear folly. Change is inevitable, and will go on, with or without man's interference. That's just the way it is.
