There was a bible verse painted on a wall - do you remember what the

At the end, why did the kid trust the people on the beach - how did he

They said birds and insects all died - is that what would happen after
nuclear war? In that world, I think all life would eventually end due
to the constant lack of sun.

I strongly doubt rats and cockroaches would die if man were still
alive. The corpses alone would provide food for years for vermin.
Nuclear war would have to be on a scale not possible with the current
stockpile of weapons to achieve the destruction of all life on the
planet. Only greenies and other rodents are silly enough to believe
you can wipe out life so easily. Mass volcanic eruptions as
destructive force is a much more plausible scenario. The Yellowstone
Caldera shown erupting in the movie, "2012" would be a major
contributor to such an event with other volcanos in the Ring of Fire
zone putting billions of tons of sunlight-obscuring particulates into
the stratosphere. This happened with just one major volcano in the
early 1980s and it had a measurable effect on sunlight throughput
worldwide for a few years.
