So explain to me why human behaviour is not 'nature doing it's thing'? Are
we not part of nature?

That doesn't change the correctness of the statement - we're not PERFECT

That was a rather odd answer, and your criticisms are fair. I prefer to believe
the future has the answers, based on a history of escalating technological
sophistication (which no-one has yet proved any physical constraints to, other
than exceeding the speed of light).

I agree, I see little point in personal attacks.

I'm scared to say it, but I'm not entirely sure what your point is here...
if you're being satirical, then about what? If you're being serious, then
why so many people are unhappy?
