War on Nature

While in philosophy this week, we talked about Darwin, and this was what came to mind during these conversations:

With the way that the world has been changing since the introduction of humans to the puzzle of oh so many pieces that make up the earth, there has been a constant increase in methods to avoiding the natural way to do anything. Some examples you can keep in your mind for the rest of this chat include: going out to find food, curing natural diseases, creating genetic clones of people/animals, even in some cases physically talking to another person.

The question that is reoccurring in my mind is that: will we ever fully defeat nature at this game? Is there going to be some point in time where we will fully break away from nature and create our own advanced style of living to which there are no natural flaws?

Well my argument to this is that nature's weapon of mass destruction is the ability to create variables to situations that seem to have no flaw. Nature's variables (like animals that are designed to kill us, diseases, and weather) are what it has to our advantage in this fight. The reason behind this is that unless we can defeat every single possible variable, then nature will always have a way of snapping back at us to keep humans in line.

But the tantalizing topic point here is: what if we could actually defeat every variable that nature could have provided? I think that the answer is simply this: if we manage to break away from nature, then nature’s last resort would be that it created humans with the incapacity to be completely efficient in its work. Thus the flaws that humans defeated within nature would only lead to flaws within the design of sed human creations: leading to new "human made" variables.

The answer is that even if we could defeat the nature that was given to us, we would only have become nature in the process, creating new flaws for other creatures to deal with.

Do you think that there would be a different outcome?
