對於「有沒有世界末日？世界何時會終止？地球會不會毀滅」這些大哉問，你是否願意聽聽這位宇宙最高智者的回答與建言？
聽神談【人類的「世界何時會終止」？】
尼爾：這世界什麽時候會終止結束？
問題不在於世界會結束。問題在於，世界正在變得不適合人類居住。而那是一個完全不同的問題。
如果事情和情況繼續像現在這樣下去的話，這「如你們所知的」世界，可能會在你們的有生之年內終止它的存在 (cease to exist)。地球本身會繼續存在。
地球沒有理由不再存在個幾百萬年。它已然存在那麽久了，而它有能力很輕鬆地加倍它現在的壽命。
所以，問題不在於「地球還會存在多久？」問題在於「它還能適合像你們這樣一個族類居住多久？」那才是問題，而這問題只有你們能給出答案。
這是一件你們必須現在就决定的事。沒錯，藉由你們的各種行爲，你們每天都在决定這問題的答案。
你們許多人假裝不知道這件事，或認爲你們終究會智取勝過(outsmart)你們的行爲所造成的墮落和退化的過程。
這些都是幻覺，而你們可以去探討：跨出那些幻覺並創造一個新的文化故事，是否會給你們帶來更多利益？
摘自《與神對話 青春版》第5章
Neale: When will the world come to an end?
The problem is not the world coming to an end.
The problem is the world becoming uninhabitable by the human species. That, Leonte, is a different matter altogether.
If things continue the way they are going, the world "as you know it" could cease to exist within your lifetime. The Earth itself will go on.
There is no reason for it not to exist for millions of years.
It has already existed that long, and it has the capability of doubling its present life span easily.
So, the question is not, how long will the Earth exist?
The question is, how long will it be inhabitable by a species of beings such as yours?
That is the question, and only you have the answer.
This is something you must now decide. Indeed, you are deciding it every day, through your actions.
Many of you are pretending that you do not know this, or that you will ultimately outsmart the process of degradation and devolution that your actions have begun.
These are illusions, and you may wish to explore whether it would be to your benefit to step outside of them and create a new cultural story.
