Hey Guest,
If you want to donate, we have a thread with updated donation options here at this link: About Donations
If I understand what was said at your link, the thesis is the explanation for all the bad news we hear is that it is symptomatic of the human race on a path to extinction.
An alternative explanation could be the Christian one, that there is something defective in human nature (sin) that cannot be ignored. However, rather than a hopeless path to extinction, we have the option (as individuals) not in collective effort (like governmental compulsion) but in being rescued and given eternal life by a God who gave us free will and desires we would use it to choose him over our own selfishness that leads to our own destruction.
I understand that many not only do not accept Christianity, but recoil from any mention of it. In addition many people calling themselves Christian over centuries has given it a pretty bad reputation. However, as an explanation why the world seems headed down the drain, it could be given consideration.
