Unfortunately true.

True

The environment is the environment, the physical laws that control the planet, are just that "Mother Nature" has survived the last five great extinctions and it will survive the sixth! You talk of the Environment in terms of homosapiens destroying it (which I wish it wouldn't) but we are just a spec in the lifeline of Mother Nature which on this Planet has been doing its thing for 4,600 MILLION years!

Some fart arse species that lived for a couple of hundred thousand years (1/5th of a million, of those 4,600 million years, so far!) isn't going to bother your lovely Mother Nature even if we nuke the whole planet (what's the half life of plutonium radiation?). You need to get your timescales and species in perspective if you are going to project on to "Mother Nature". IMHO

@GilesD Dude, chill. I liked the cartoon. I saw the carton about the pursuit of happiness and why many people are not achieving it, finding themselves in unsatisfying situations. besides, Habanera by Bizet, awesome.
I wrote 4 words, not one of them mentioned environment.

@Rugglesby sorry dude, I replied to the wrong comment!

@Clare I think I even replied to the wrong thread last night! Oops.

@GilesD is all kool, phew, I thought I must have commented on the wrong video, is all good.

As we are on a site called agnostic.com; it seems fair to ask you "what is this Mother Nature that you talk of?"

It sounds really nice and cosy and all sort of natural and a tad spiritual!

We are talking about the fore that sends worms into the eyes of children to make them blind, aren't we. That force that send hurricanes, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes to kill plants and animals. The failed crops, the starvation, the irrigating rivers that run dry or that flood and destroy.

I like my Mum, but Mother Nature? Do you think it's some cognitive awareness that chooses where it lays its destruction or nurturing of life?

Dieting rabbits is not Mother Natures way of doing anything! It's a dead f'ing rabbit and it dies for a reason that can be scientifically explained!

Rant over. ?

@GilesD Mother Nature is the LIFE (writ large) that all life needs to survive. Mother nature doesn't give a damn about any one species and especially one that continues to break her laws.

Yes this is an agnostic (atheist) site but in my original postings months ago I talked a lot about how the religious and Atheists are alike in their worship of Homo Sapiens. We are living in the Anthropocene known as the time of the Sixth Great Extinction. Most of this is anthropogenic. Arrogance, hubris and a sense of superiority is what describes many of us. It is not spiritual but reality and one we will lose if we don't wake up.

To me some members sound very conservative and don't think the environment is important. They are wrong as can be and most here recognize that!
