Resources are finite lie

I hear this a lot and it really doesn't make sense and I think it is a problem of the failed method of teaching in schools, especially colleges which have basically deteriorated into another garden of kinder (kindergarten).  The earth is not static, just look at it, volcanoes erupt making new earth, islands get bigger (look at Hawaii for example - it is growing!), oceans rise and fall, changing the coast lines, etc.  Diamonds keep getting made, oil keeps getting made, etc.  It is more of this tactic of trying to scare you so they can control you.  Just Don't Be Scared! ! ! !
