Paul - the planet has survived for aeons without our human intervention. I argue that nature doesn't need mankind to tell it how to survive. And I'd be right. We still have very little understanding of evolution, of nature, and we could spend a LONG while studying and still not come much closer imho.
I'll quote George Mallory:
"because it's there"
and it cost him his life. Man is pretending to be a God, and to know the secrets of the Gods (to coin a phase). Remember the tale of Icarus? Of Arachne?

PS I'm not a Catholic btw, so no single God comes into play in my eyes. I'm not really what most people would call a religious nutto either. I'm fairly grounded, but cautious.
