«The Final Appeal to Mankind» by Nicolai Levashov
of us have stopped reacting to such warnings and have become confident that the end
of the world will never come.
What is this doomsday, this crisis in human evolution? We may call it by many
different names, but its significance is not in its label, but in what it really forebodes.
And we may well ask: What is the significance of mankind in the cosmological picture?
As I will show, man has a most significant role to play in the development of
civilization on a cosmic scale, but this role has remained hidden for thousands of years.
Ignorance, lies and failure to grasp and understand the basic laws of nature have served
to keep man’s true destiny hidden from himself. The laws of nature function whether
or not man understands them, but from now on humanity will be unable to survive and
progress without this understanding. Frankly, unless man does learn to live his life
according to these fundamental laws of nature, there will be no one left to evolve on
our majestic, blue planet Earth.
No nuclear war is required for man’s demise. If we continue to abuse and meddle with
nature, without heeding her laws, we will self-destruct faster than a nuclear holocaust
could dispatch us. We must be ever mindful of Christ’s warning: “When the blind lead
8
the blind they shall both fall into a pit.”
Only a century ago we were in no danger of extinction: now it is imminent and
palpable. What is this sentence of death that hangs over our heads?
Over a period of billions of years, flashes of lightning in the Earth’s atmosphere gave
rise to a layer of ozone that made life on Earth possible by deflecting lethal radiation
from outer space away from our atmosphere. Sea water actively absorbed the radiation
thus enabling primordial life forms to develop within it. These early sea creatures
continued evolving in the water until Earth’s ozone layer was sufficient to deflect most
of the radiation back into space. Only then did life migrate from the sea to solid land.
Beginning in 1961, the technology developed then and still in current use today
destroyed 30% of the Earth’s ozone layer. According to calculations, if we continue
the present pace of our technological activities, such as repeated rocket launchings into
space, within the next ten to twenty years the remaining ozone layer will be totally
destroyed.
Ironically, the means of its destruction will be the very advances we so proudly hail as
the pinnacle of our scientific achievement. Every living creature on land will perish
under the impact of lethal radiation from outer space: only underwater creatures will
survive and everything will start all over again from the beginning...
