Nature got it all wrong


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.
