Message: <blockquote data-quote="ChrisKten" data-source="post: 1453744" data-attributes="member: 69033">That is a question that is posed often, unfortunately I can't answer it.There seem to be two frequently aired views:One side appears to believe that Man can do whatever he wants, because Man is part of Nature.The other side doesn't understand how a species that is part of Nature can do so much harm to the rest of Nature. I suppose the real problem might be Man's belief that we are smarter than Nature. That our large brain and unrivalled ability to use tools enables us to do anything. In my mind it's the gap between what we can do, and what we actually understand the consequences of doing, that causes the rest of the planet to suffer. But really such a debate is beyond the scope of these forums, as it's touching on Philosophy.</blockquote>
