Description
Some people assume that since nature gave us hands and complex brains, it wanted us to do all the unacceptable things we do.But let’s think about it. If we are that smart, we should be able to choose how to use our “privileges”, instead of saying that evolution decides everything for us. WE are the ones who chose to treat our Earth in a filthy way, and it would probably be happy to get rid of us. We only disturb the balance created by other species. I really don’t believe that it’s what nature wants from us.

No species is irreplaceable. Some might be significant to the ecosystem as we know it, but life would not only go on if humans were out of the picture, it would go on if every single macrological animal went with us. Not the most endangered whale is more important than a single amoeba.
Like I said, the ecosystem as we know it is only important because we think it is.

Please read my previous comment. Ok, maybe the Earth won't stop without one species taken away, but without humans it will get even better. Besides, the point of my stamp was that we should stop using evolution as an excuse for our action, that's all. I didn't say we should change our behavior, and when I said that nature wants or doesn't want something, it was a metaphore. So I think the "balance thing"is the only issue we disagree upon, and as I've said you may be right, but it's not something that I can have my point of view on, because it's not an obvious issue. I'm not using the word "opinion" as an excuse, I just think we can't tell what is really the purpose of what happens in nature.

"without humans it will get even better."
This is really where we differ. You think that the way the current ecosystem functions is ideal. Your detractors don't think that it matters what the ecosystem is like, and to an extent it doesn't. We preserve it this way because we like it.

Maybe you're right, maybe I'm right, we can never know.
