Isn't mother nature in control of our destiny?

Question

Planet Earth is a living organizem it knows when its time to get rid of the excess surplus population.It will do anything to releave the planet of stress...Earthquakes, disease,floods, wars, meteor impacts are just tools mother nature uses to try and help solve the problem...we're like fleas on a dog he'll scratch like crazy to kill enough fleas just to make it bearable..same with earth

Answer 1

Your premise is flawed. The Earth isn't like a living organism, it's an ecosystem. The Sun, the atmosphere, the ground and the Earth's core are all in conflict, creating a wonderful, life-supporting skim of mud on the surface that we can thrive in. There is no thought process involved in either of those four elements, and our ability to affect the atmosphere or the ground is not something that Mother Nature will try to correct, or over-compensate for, or throw out of balance just to affect us.

Answer 2

I dont know if you are a hippy or a tree hugger (Nothing wrong with that). I hate the way the world is. To be honest with you, mother nature is long lost. when the first person decided he wanted to knock down a tree against mother natures will, and build a house, shed, or anything. that was the day she died. Man kind has ruined all hopes for a better planet. The only way that you could really bring back the world would be if you were capable of living in the wild. we would have to take down every building, reform every piece of it to it's natural state. find every piece of gabage and put it back in its natural state. I can continue for hours of reading if you really want. Mother nature is gone, and it is almost impossible to bring it back. You can thank your leaders and everyone of greed. All you can really do now is sit back relax and wait for the end. Still waiting for the wrong person to get into the area where we keep all of our weapons of mass destruction and decide he doesnt want to live anymore.

Answer 3

"Control" implies intent. Mother Nature has no intention, per se, to do anything. Although human activities may harm the environment, we are only hurting ourselves. Mother Nature cares not a wit about what we do. We may make Earth inhospitable to ourselves, but Mother Nature will adapt and some other life form will take over.

Answer 4

"Mother Earth" is a collective response to a grouping of observations that humans use to address the power of natural things. It is our simple attempt to be able to relate to our world in a way we can understand. It is mankind's personification of the effects of physics.

Contrary to what pogonoforo says, destiny is not a Christian concept at all. In fact, destiny is in contrast with the Christian concept of "free will" that is required for love to exist. Forced love through destiny is not love at all. Destiny and free will are at odds with each other.

With or without humans the earth and all nature will continue its course brought about by the physics that drive the events. To the extend mankind can exhibit its intelligence and inginuity, it will survive. Conflicts with the phyisics in play on earth will inevitebly "consume" human lives. But Nature (the personification of the natural laws of physics) is not sentient in itself and is not an advisary of mankind. Occasionally the Creator of the physics may intervien in the laws of physics in acts of mercy. But that is another story...

Answer 5

Destiny is just a philosophical idea more connected to Christianism than it is connected to reality.
There's no such thing.
Mother earth is another mystical concept, and giving earth a sentient's character is not an adequate view of things.
Besides Earth is not responsible of meteorites and their impacts on earth.

Answer 6

That's what makes humans so special. We have the intelligence to do something about nature's catastrophes. We can control our future.
