God vs nature vs man

IF you removed the human element from planet earth, it would right itself. Agreed?

However long that would take, and whatever changes necessary to re-balance, that would be seen as nature.

When man was created to have choice - the first and only GIVEN choices, he did deviate from nature.

All other life forms' needs were provided (at that point checks and balances in place). So were ours, but choice meant good and bad, and compounded bad choices have effectively negated too many good choices.

IF man were inherently GOOD, why? If the only choices that won out were sound (thought through), no problems.

If there were guidelines to explain simple cause and effect, long term, or, 'truth or consequences', if you like, would progress have to make backwards steps, time and again (history).

Could it be nothing on this planet needed a guidebook except mankind. Why?

If you fool everyone, is any one fooled, in the long run (or in fact). IS there a righting process? How - when, and by whom - if not us. If us, when will they determine earth's balance is so out of balance, our greenhouse effect is now killing life forms that out live us, by epochs. When reptiles lay eggs, the gender is determined by the soil temperature. We're facing loosing all such species as they are producing up to 67% male to female ratios (globally/relative), expected to reach 75% in a few years. We can't save them (except in controlled breeding) because we can't reverse global heating.

When we loose our frogs and lizards, you may expect an increase in insects to fill that niche, and we won't be able to produce enough poison to make a dent. Plagues.

Forced loss of species, over predation, contamination, pollution and now GE, new and more puzzling dis-eases, as many caused by our own administration as any one's.

Should we violate ourselves/environment enough, can it be turned back, by us, in time. If not, is this as good as it gets? Afraid so.

In the next two hundred years we will reap the results of manipulating nature and species THUS FAR (not that we'll recognize what contributed to what - in time to stop it, and to such an extent and break-pace that the mind boggles.

We would replace the functions of a God? Don't need "nature" as such, any more?

Think we can superimpose something better over what we had? (or can jump off, eventually?)

Why are our suicide rates in free countries so high, and mental health? Whom/what is driving people to distraction?

Why do such conditions only show up in us? Some would say you can see it in the animal world, which says more of our ability to pass poor judgements down through the life-chain. Few are mischievous, but can be taught to be so.

When whales beach, are they, in fact, suffering from infections, or sounds we blast into their space, or toxins we release, or trash we dump? Are they trying to get out of the water, suicide or can simply no longer navigate?

Progress. Couldn't live without that, but I'm referring only to poor choices, not off-set by enough positive choices to keep balances in check.

To do the second, we must recognize the first. Most people are still in denial, or angry, or too defeated to even respect nature. The rest are preying on those whom don't know the difference, yet.

As an unwilling guinea pig, I retain the right to make points in places they might do some good. Some have authorized me sharing their finding here, for your young readers to get a balanced view. By request. I dare say they have better credentials than anything presented here, and include them with my posts.
