In "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow", Charles Darwin is quoted as saying that "Man will always tend to breed up to the limits of the moment" and "we are living like drunken sailors, like the irresponsible heirs of a millionaire uncle". This is saying that as of now, we are using up all of the natural resources that we have, without too much consideration for the future. Also, "Sir Charles is of the opinion that Man will successfully make the transition from rich ores to poor ores and even sea water, from coal, oil, uranium and thorium to solar energy and alcohol derived from plants". This probably will not be true, humans will most likely not be able to completely replace previous resources as we run out of them. We are not researching new completely renewable resources enough to have enough by the time fossil fuels and other resources we depend on most run out.
