If we are to follow and believe in the darwinian outlook on evoltion, who is to say that anything that humans do is wrong. Take for examle on a simple level wind farms. Humans have developed themselves in such a way that they have the brain power and way with all to develop this "free" process of making electricity. How can this be wrong? If nature decreed it wrong to build wind farms and have that available to us, then nature would have stopped us from developing it (as per evolution principles... brightests and strongest survive). Then we woudnt have all the nimbyism going on. On a higher but equally valid level, nuclear power/weapons. Would it not be true therefore that if nature did not want this it would stop us from developing? Perhps it is part of the evolutionary plan that we have all these "bad" things, but who has the right to pick and chose what we invent? Fire is bad, but without it also being good where would we be. What are you thoughts on this line of thinking?
