Hey, @stortebeker.

Very interesting thoughts. There is a definite order to things, that I firmly believe. Whether there is chaos too, and how it is introduced, I'm still pondering on. Nature's disruptions many times come as imbalances, build ups over time that are essentially in need of a correction. Nature finds a way eventually.

With man, and the ability to reason, or not, I suppose we could say we upset that order to a degree. We are still bound by certain universal laws, and for some of those we've found workarounds, but others we're still conforming to. So, in some ways, our ability to affect change that isn't a part of the natural order of things, is fairly limited, while perhaps in others, we might upset things quite a bit.

Unless we consider man a part of the 'survival of the fittest' theory, where what he does isn't always directly related to survival, but to sport, to self-indulgence, to self-worth or self-pity. There's probably more to it than that, but anyway, man isn't just about survival.

How much we ultimately can affect the world around us and to what degree we can reverse is pretty hotly debated. One thing I do believe is that we are meant to be stewards of this Earth of some kind, and we could certainly as a whole do a much better job of it if we so desired. :)
