Would you condemn humankind for causing the extinction of 75% of all species?

1 Answer

Answer :

I wouldn’t hold God responsible, She just started the ball rolling. Who do you hold responsible for the species that became extinct before homo sapiens appeared? The great dinos disappeared and I’m sure they made inroads on the earth with their enormous appetites and giant piles of poop. Even today nonhuman species can damage local environments. Take the beaver. A beaver family can take a beautiful salmon spawning ground and turn it into a fetid swamp, just as efficiently as the Army Corp of Engineers. Nature is not static, the earth is always changing and successful species survive longer. Undoubtedly some species disappeared in order for ours to find a niche. It is pure hubris to decide that our species can control the earth or that we are more powerful than nature. Our only “responsibility” is to try to survive as long as possible. In the end, nature will win.
