All beings on this planet depend on some kind of external
materials for survival. The need for food and dependency is the mark of life.
All things that are dead are independent of the environment, and living beings
are sensitive to environment. Those living beings which have good capabilities
to adapt to changing environments have survived and those which did not have
become extinct.
Evolutionary theorists talk about the survival of the
fittest, but the nature had other plans for the fittest. The big dinosaurs being invincible in their
strength due to their size became extinct. The reason for their extinctions may
due to the asteroid hitting the earth and creating a huge dust cloud blocking
sun light and killing all vegetation and other life forms leading to extinction
of the entire food chain.
Apart from the asteroid theory, other theories like dust
from a volcano blocking the sunlight and killing much of life is also being
verified. Other groups of scientists believe that the small dinosaurs emerging
from the eggs became the weaker and prone to attacks and hence leading to
extinction due to reduction of numbers over a period of time. If large species
can die due to natural causes, small virus, bacteria can also become extinct
from the face of planet.
One thing is widely believed that, after the evolution of
human beings more life forms have become extinct. Man interfering in the
affairs of the natural process and his hunger for hidden treasures like metals,
fuel and their usage has lead to changing the course of the planet. Few years
back scientists believed that because of human activity, the earth’s average
temperature is increasing sharply and will lead to melting of glaciers and
submersion of much of the land.
Recent temperature data reveals that in the past 50years
(approx.) the average earth temperature has changed by around 0.5C which does
not lead to any global warming or rise in the levels of the ocean. The extrapolating
nature of the scientists with short variations over small periods of time is
creating more confusion than solving the problems at hand. In the current
scenario, of all the life forms known and discovered, man has been able to
control or destroy each one.
Also there is a belief among the scientific community that
still more types of life forms are not discovered and are waiting to be
discovered. This can stated from the simple fact that more than 70% of the
oceans are unexplored, and oceans comprises 75% of the surface of the earth.
But ever may be the kind of life form on earth, man will master the art of
killing the life. There is a war between man’s survival against virus and
bacteria which the nature is creating from time to time to keep the population
under control.
If by the theory of dinosaur extinction is due to their
small size of their young ones hatched from eggs, then the intelligence of man
will ultimately lead to his destruction. The intelligence of man has yielded in a
struggle for control of territory for resources, leading to wars, weapons of
all kinds, etc. The intelligence also leads to creation to the famines, floods
knowingly but whether there is possibility of creating earthquakes is still
unexplored in practice.
If only the nature has gifted all the living beings the
capacity to manufacture their own food using sunlight, there would have been
more peace. A human being/animals with skin consisting of chlorophyll would
create the required food for himself and there would be more peace and
similarly many plants and animals would have been saved over a period of time. But
the design of nature is to fight for living and nothing is free. This principle
of nature is so wrong, and NATURE GOT IT ALL WRONG.
