I believe that completely.. and it would be interesting to see how the world would recover from such a vast destruction!
What about the atmosphere in a thousand years? Who's to say that there will be anything left? For all we know, this radiation could create some sort of new protector..
And alas, after one thousand years, and many years after that.. I'm sure industrial civilization would be either a dream of the "Old People" or continued.
Think of it as the novel "The Chrysalids", and you may find an interesting perspective to this aswell.

The atmosphere's composition has stayed relatively constant for 900 million years. At one point, however, the atmosphere was nearly completely carbon dioxide, and it was the gradual increase in oxygen-breathing organisms (single-celled) that caused the atmosphere to change and as a result, the first mass extinction. Radiation would not change the atmospheric composition. What would is a massive series of explosions caused by the nuclear weaponry. However, we are assuming that only a small number of warheads were used.
It may be unlikely that they would even have any record of us, as all our cities would have long since crumbled to nothing. If we did exist in their minds, we would be gods or spirits (and at that time, we will be spirits), although perhaps the gods would still be with them.

Radiation would not change the atmospheric composition. What would is a massive series of explosions caused by the nuclear weaponry. However, we are assuming that only a small number of warheads were used. I think I misworded that. Radiation I suppose wouldn't do anything. The use of nuclear weaponry would for sure. Even if it was a small amount, it would surely do something to it in some way.. It may be unlikely that they would even have any record of us, as all our cities would have long since crumbled to nothing. If we did exist in their minds, we would be gods or spirits (and at that time, we will be spirits), although perhaps the gods would still be with them. I believe our cities may still be standing. They should probably stand the test of time, as other buildings have. Take the pyramids for example. They are over 2000 years old!! Stone Henge is also extremely old. They have stood time, so wouldn't the buildings of the Industrial Age?

Fortunately, no. The pyramids and other ancient structures were built to last for untold thousands of years. They were largely built of stone and other imperishable material. Our buildings today are made of glass and plaster, which would rot or shatter and crumble, and the metal components would mostly rust away.

IMO... It will be kind of like what happened at the beginning of WWI, with WWIII starting with an Islamic Super-state or an alliance of Islamic states attacking Israel. when that fails miserably for them they, will attack Israel with nukes and then everything will fall apart. nukes will be used, but only a few, i say one or two attacks on cities and a few more smaller ones on troop concentrations.

After reading this page, I'm reminded of the Dark Tower series by Stephen King.
It talks about a post-apocalyptic world, where the technology is somewhat like what we had in the old west (around 1800's). There are many artifacts remnant of a much more advanced civilization, such as gas pumps, electric lights, and even monorail trains in some cities. The people who live at the time, though, have no idea what those things are or why they're there.
They constantly talk about the "Old Ones", who put them there, and how the Old Ones were there before "The world moved on". After the world moved on, so to speak, there were new species of mutant animal, such as animals born with six legs, or even without skin.
The world has progressed rapidly, of course, but they somehow suffered a severe setback some time in the distant past.
It's a very interesting series, I would reccommend it to anyone who has the chance to read it.

WWIII, already happened, it was called the cold war WWIV, is going on now "War on terror". But i dont believe in the rapture, so i dont expect one to happen. But let me show you two sets of verses that shows me that there is no rapture. Mat 24:29 "But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Mat 24:30 "And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. Mat 24:31 "And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. 1Th 4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 1Th 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. These verse are so similar that, I take them to be saying the same thing, that the so called "rapture" happens as the second coming of Christ at the end of the "tribulation".

If nuclear weapons are used, it will devestate the entire planet even small amounts will cause massive genetic damage. now this is assuming world war 3 has come before the develepment of antimatter weapons. antimatter is much much more powerful then a nuclear weapon, but there is an upside to it......no radiation. these would be the ideal weapons of ww3

"shouldn't we have to accept all of it or reject all of it?" Not at all. Each book and each section has it's own style and it's own purpose. For example, Jesus' parables, the book of Revelation, etc, are not meant to be taken literally in the sense that a literal beast or dragon will persecute Christians. Alternatively, the crucifixion is meant as a literal event that is one of the key elements of the faith. It all depends on context. You just can't read Psalms the same way you read Leviticus or Revelation, etc. They're different types of books. Or we just dont think right. A literal beast might not be in the world we see but in the Spiritual world I think it will be Also May 1st 2008 the National ID will be put in to action (Just thought you guys would like to know)

I meant to say National ID. Right now your drivers license counts as it but May 1st 2008 everyone will have to have a national ID. And thay are trying to make it that all animals have to have a tracking microchip/ ID. Which in my mind is one step away from everyone haveing to have tracking microchips/NATIONAL ID put into there hand or there forehead. Also in England and othere countries thay now have what is called personality rehabilitation camps. If your personality is anti social thay can arrest you off the streat and throw you in these camps and rehabilitate you to be more socialable. Why do I care cause all over America there are this camps that are being built and now one knows what there for. And anti social Behaviour could one day be christianity.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJBxdRIQx7YThere's a video talking about what the concentration camps Fatburner mentioned. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but the barbed wire is pointed inward and it doeslook like more than a train repair facility. (Electronic turnstyles.) And I think the gas thing is just paranoia. You use furnaces to heat buildings.
