Doesn't death protect evolution of the living?

disease was indeed a factor in evolution, but so were climate changes, competition and other factors. Disease never creates life though, disease only ends life.

Not particularly disease but any sort of struggle would facilitate the evolutionary process in a way as to 'improve' the species.

Of course, mutations are occuring all the time but these are all tested by adversity. The better ones remain and the ones which give the species a handicap are removed by death (a bit blunt but that's nature for you!).

Should we be loyal to anything but ourselves? Nature is not 'loyal ' to us. It's just a natural process. I'm not suggesting that we don't look after our environment by the way!

I think you have a point. Disease is very important. It controls the population. When we figured out how to control disease we caused so many problems because the population went up too much. I think the reason warrioirs are honourable in so many cultures is that war controls population. I don't think we should worship disease perse but I think we should respect it as a natural process. Humans are too afraid to die. Many species only get to procreate one in their lives and die right after. They don't try to change it, they just except it. We don't need to be loyal to disease but perhaps we should respect its right to prosper.

Dis ease is a sign of in-balance, not at ease.
Should we be loyal to it?

Interesting question -- could be.

However, let's protect ourselves for survival.
