Humans: Natural or Un-Natural

Humans: Natural or Un-Natural
by FrosT
Introduction
There has been a question lingering in this brain of mine since I can remember. Are we, as humans, considered to be natural? Well in this entry I will be describing views I have came up with on why we should be considered a natural element of nature. Feel free to comment, as always I love to read them. Thank you.
Natural Part of Nature
What really is the "Natural Part of Nature?" Could the natural part of nature be anything not dealing with humans? That statement seems incorrect because if humans are not a natural part of nature than why and how are we here. The fact of the matter with humans being a part of nature is that humans are part of nature. It may seem "Un-Natural" but the reality of everything humans have created is that it came from the earth, humans have figured out ways to manipulate that to create the buildings, cars, computers, and any other object you see on earth that is "man-made." Humans are nature, natural, and have the instincts that all animals have.
Think about this, an animals goal in life is to breed and eat. Straight to the point. As humans we are more advanced than "animals" are but humans still have the instictiveness to breed and eat also. Come on now there are over 6 billion people in the world, that should be proof enough. Looking at the animal cycle it can be seen that as more predators increase the food decreases. Take Coyotes for an example. When the rabbit population is thriving, the coyote population becomes thriving, why? Because there is plenty of food to go around. Once the rabbit population dies down from diseases and being fed upon by coyotes, would you not know that the coyote population will slowly start to decrease from straving coyotes and diseases. This is a perfect example of "nature" at it's best. No matter how hard coyotes try to increase their population it controls itself.
Natural Disasters: Tragedy's or Necessary
Let's face it Natural Disasters are seemingly increasing each year. Whether it be a fire, hurricane, tornado, flood, eathrquake or tsunami there have been more devestating natural disasters than have been seen in a very long time. Who can help but wonder, "Is this mother natures way of telling us we are over populated?" Are these natural disasters necessary? Natural disasters seem to be mother natures way of telling us "The more populated humans become the harder I have to try." Humans are doing very well right now and are thriving. Reason being humans have the knowledge to pro-long their own life. With advances in medical science and just science humans figured out how to cure diseases, which the animal world has yet to discover. Which seems to be as hard as humans may try our population can still be ruled by mother nature.
Ending Statement
Well as much as global warming is talked about and feared I feel global warming is really just a load of BS that is instilled into our brains. Sure global warming is happening but how long will it take before it actually destroys the world and all man kind. Or more of the question, how can humans defeat this "natual disaster" from happening? This whole entry was made from a talk with a "tree-hugger" I had. To me I am as much of nature as any animal there is. Which is why I hunt. It is natural to do so, since the begining of time man has been hunting. To me hunting is more natural than being a vegan and afraid to eat meat because a poor deer was killed.
As you can tell I am a heavy set hunter and naturalist. I love nature and want to preserve it any way I can. Hunting to me is a natural part of nature and if I were to let that slip by me I would be going against what I was trying to do, preserving nature. Humans are nature and everything around is nature and natural. There has been a mind set instilled into our brains that because we built buidlings and cars we have become un-natural. But does a bird build a nest? Does a coyote make a den? Do humans make houses? We are a part of nature, there is nothing un-natural about a human. Humans are natural.

Global warming can go shove it. Our beautiful toxic gases, as pointed out by a certain episode of The Simpsons, will help make asteroids entering the atmosphere smaller.
And besides, we're going to freeze if we try to stop global warming. We should go on like we have for centuries, and plainly not give a fuck

Human = natural
Human structure = natural
Human interactions with nature = questionable
Why? Because it's evident we don't always maximize. We kill more than we eat, we grow and create for beauty. These actions aren't based on necessity. Humans are shifting elements and ecosystems out of cultural needs. It's chaos ontop of the natural chaos.
But in the end, who's to say that chaos isn't something nature wants squared.

They no longer have the pressure from predators animals.
Hunters live to be in nature. Hunters more than any one else understand the need for animal control. Hunters spends days a year in the woods with nature. Anti hunters do not. Feelings...animals hunt. Lions Tigers and Bears. Feelings block logic in regard to hunting. Deer are responsible for more human deaths than any other animal on the planet. People swerve to miss squirrels and hit trees head on and die...that makes sense huh.
I found this link trying to determine if we are natural. I believe we are. That means that EVERY thing we do is natural. You can not have it both ways.

With the perceived threat of global warming maybe we could abandon all human actions and advancements that require energy. Which is just about everything we do. Take to the sideline for a couple of hundred years while we figure things out. In the interim maybe we will get wiped out by a GRB, a massive comet. Or something like that, something that our insatiable hunger to absorb energy, expand and evolve technologically might provide a solution before it happens.
Is it possible that instinctively we have an inbred sense of the endless repetition of extinction level events that have plagued this planet? wiping out most life forms and ecosystems again and again?. Maybe for the first time in the 4+ billion year long life span of planet earth finally a creature has evolved that can actually do something about the next ELE. I really doubt if we will kill ourselves off with global warming. Maybe things will get a little uncomfortable for a while maybe they will get better. One thing I know for sure, we won’t be burning fossil fuel forever. I give it another 50 -100 years and it will be just an unpleasant memory.
As far as “tipping balances” are concerned I think the dynamic universe is nothing but tipping balances. That’s what provides the momentum.
