If you want to look at ecosystems and nature....well, I don't think there's anything natural about driving cars and building nukes. The biggest problem we will face is overpopulation. Disease, famine and war will all be the result of overpopulation. On the plus side...once we become overpopulated, disease and famine (nature) will kill us off to even the tables. War is a man made thing, go man!

it's a cynical outlook, but i have faith that we will die and the earth will go back to its neutral state. that or the Apocalypse will take place. 2012 baby.

My ideas aren't religious based, more survival based. But once again, I people are failing to see that humans are a part of nature! If we are natural, then are fruits are born of natural process!

That doesn't mean that they're necessarily beneficial in the long run, but they are natural. We need to stop viewing things as natural or unnatural and start analyzing them in terms of long term benefit to mankind in all ways. It is there that I think all minds will come to decent, logical comprimises.
