Space

Who's to say how good of a job we have done.  If you are of the opinion that man evolved its way from nature, then it would seem man himself is apart of nature.  And in that sense, we have formed the most natural Earth possible, because the Earth has produced creates capable of changing her landscape.

But think about what we've accomplished.  We've been able to capture Earth's resources.  We've shaped and molded landscapes to make them more efficient.  We've single-handedly increased our own lifespan through medicine and more efficient cultivation of crops.  Our consciousness has let us become God, remaking the Earth in our own image.  When we find we've made mistakes, we correct them, because ultimately the destruction of the Earth is the destruction of ourselves.

Totally agree, I just didn't have the time to write something out fully.

The fundamental problem of saying we don't have the right to go anywhere else is that it uses a moral system we ourselves have created, to refer to something utterely out of our control that we show little understanding of, which has no relationship with the little pocket we call our existence.

To consider it right or wrong is atrociously arrogant.

Nature created the incredible diversity of life that is found on earth and we have plowed it all under to plant corn and soybeans.  Wow, look at us.

But are we not Nature herself?
