What can be said about the human species that is not only collectively hell bent on it's own self destruction, but the destruction of every other species and living thing on Earth; a self-imposed mass extinction. Human greed is largely responsible for where we are today. Human self preservation is the thing that drives us to go on. If there is a God or Great Spirit, there is also a Satan or Antichrist who currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. We have no one to blame but ourselves for HIM et al being there; it is symptomatic of our failed species. Time and evolution will go on and we can only hope for better in geological time.
